Mod Post

(Apologies for making a mod post from my personal RP journal, but apparently you need a paid account to make a poll pls ignore)

Hello Deerlings! As many of you know, our October Prelude was posted earlier to help people with planning. Many players have appreciated the additional time and some have asked if the actual events could be posted ahead of their technical "start dates" - however we do not want players to feel overwhelmed with content either.

We would like to hear everyone's feedback on whether they think this would be helpful as a whole or if it would feel overwhelming.

The general idea would be that we post events ahead of their "start dates" as well as plotting posts so people could get their ideas and plans ready ahead of time rather than our current system where we post the event on the actual start date.

Let us know your thoughts and opinions in a comment below or vote on our poll!

A week+ ahead of "event start date" for all events.

Only a week+ ahead of "event start date" for bigger events.

Seconding this. I think the plotting post would get a lot more use if it popped up a little earlier.

The idea would be to post both the plotting post and event together earlier. The comments on the actual event post would be disabled until the start date so that players could appropriately plot ahead of time.

The event details have to be posted at the same time as plotting as they are too specific/detailed to simply give hints for. It would be no different than the current system with preludes. Posting the event with the plotting post ensures people can fully flesh out their plotting.

Yus. This solves that problem wonderfully.

It might mean more people make their own open posts in general but I think it works out fine.
