Hello friends,

there have been a lot of major changes over the past few days. We have successfully rolled out:

1) An automated vote counter

2) A proper quoting system

3) Abilities for the game host to specify living players and game hosts

4) Blocking non living players from posting in an active game thread.

I am very happy with the progress and the feedback so far. What I want from you all is feedback for what we have done. What works well? What does not? What would you change?

roadmap ahead

1. Improving quote functions

2. Stronger game validation and host tools

3. Abilities for the host to add or remove living players during the day phase

4. Vote reset options

5. Automatic hammer detection that will post a tentative final vote count

6. Overhauling PMs.

Since I’m the only one working on this these changes will take some time. Overall I think we have made phenomenal progress

Test, but also would the site support multiple people in PMs?

Yes. We want to built towards we have multiple people in PMs

cool

I really love the work you are doing. Super cool stuff thats a massive quality of life improvement. A few concepts I feel could be benificial-

1- Spoilers (Like the kind that hides walls of text behind a cut, not the kind that just blacks stuff out until clicked) Helps to consolidate information such as walls of multiquotes while allowing it to be referanced

2- When replying adding in link to the replied to comment. This makes a massive difference to keep up with what someone is responding to without having to dig through threads for context

3- Automated vote counter auto closing threads on hammer. Pretty standard thing on just about every site with a vote counter. Allows hosts to control if twilight even exists or not

4- Page numbers on top of ISO function. Really small detail but if you ISO someone right now you gotta scroll to the bottom of the page to move forward or back. Tiny quality of life feature

5- Allowing messaging like the forum is. I hit a wall last game trying to submit my last will to the host. My message became reformatted into the chat box function and made my large LW a trainwreck. It would be nice if there was still some way to message outside of being forced into the chat box. I ended up having to send a text document to the host to convey my last will because no function on the site would allow me to convey the information.

A few ideas on the development side. Feel free to ignore any/all of them but I appreciate the work you are doing creating a cool platform.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Completely agree. This is in the works.

Also in the work.

This is a nice option. Personally twilight discussion is a big part of our meta. One issue I see if if the thread gets locked too early. The mod must go through and verify the vote count.

4- Page numbers on top of ISO function. Really small detail but if you ISO someone right now you gotta scroll to the bottom of the page to move forward or back. Tiny quality of life feature

This is also great feedback. I’ll add this to my roadmap.

Yes agreed. part of my plan is to overhaul the PM system. It works but it is very basic.

A few ideas on the development side. Feel free to ignore any/all of them but I appreciate the work you are doing creating a cool platform.

Thank you so much. I hope you stick around.
