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!

To be brutally honest this is actually why I don't even bother with the plotting post. Going up at the same time as the log, I end up overwhelmed because if you aren't there to get a jump on it, your plotting comment goes unnoticed. Going up earlier what allows someone who doesn't get a lot of hits on a plotting comment to have time to Branch out and poke at other people.

yeah I never end up using the plotting post for the same reason. If I'm just going to be tagging around, I might as well skip straight to tagging the log.

I've had the same problem a good number of months in the past, having time to poke around would be really really helpful.

I feel similarly. While I have posted to the plotting posts since I joined the game, it did feel overwhelming to have the plotting post and actual event go live at the same time, and it came with me feeling like I had to rush my plotting so that I could get ahead to actually playing things out. By posting the plotting post in advance, it can help us to take our time planning things out and help to see that more people get attention in planning for events, rather than ending up hurrying to get to the top leveling phase.
