Author Topic: Make Eventing Great Again (Probably releasing tomorrow)  (Read 5920 times)

yeah can we leave out politics drendran

even if the acronym is nice but its annoying to see it pushed as part of an addon.
yes, maybe we are oversensitive. but also consider that you're rubbing it in people's faces.

Yeah, not a fan of the title either.

Also, OP is DrenDran?

i didn't realize a title could be so triggering. i don't see the problem

I mean really it could be perceived as that connotation from your perspectives, but I definitely don't see it as salt in the wound.
The core idea behind it all is to really make eventing great again. I'm sure we can agree not as many people are really into events or even understand how to use them as effectively. Heck, it's a HUGE feature that is pretty much ignored in the game steam trailer and has no mention anywhere in the default tutorial.

I'm all for the name MEGA, because it is exactly what this is. A mega-step in the right direction for events.

Also, OP is DrenDran?
Sure is!

its the equivalent of having, say, a chinese friend always reminding you that china won the basketball tournament in the olympics right after the olympics is over. its annoying as forget and it brings up salt.

its pretty clear the salt surrounding this election is much more severe than in any other election before and so that maybe its a good idea to not keep reminding people about it. especially years down the line, with a potentially-always-used mod like this.

yes but its pretty clear where the acronym comes from. i'd like my addons and blockland to be largely politics free, else risk having the same drama and stuff that goes down in off topic become an unavoidable part of the game.
with universal mods like this you shouldn't go push your own political views through them. it sets a bad precedent.
one off hat mods like the MAGA hat don't apply since they are very clearly political and dont provide some sort of badly needed service or function.

The new title might be seen as having negative connotation
Now I'm curious what this post originally said.

Yeah.




Anyway, I genuinely didn't think anyone would mind the title. I thought it was mildly clever when I came up with it. Anyway there's probably a few more days until I release it so I can decide later what the add-on will be named at release.

All the base client-side features seem to be working now and the next step is adding in input parameters. There's also a couple people bug testing it now and if you want to join the closed beta let me know.

thanks

once input parameters are in can i get in on the beta so i can try making events for this?

"cringe-worthy title, bad connotation." Later decided cringe-worthy was not the best description, and probably better to stay neutral

This is a really petty thing to get hung up over, to be honest. It's just a name.

System_MEGA would be a baller acronym.

Eventing is Already Great!


I think a scratch-like system could be a lot more useful and intuitive.

yeah, maybe its just me overreacting. it just feels wrong on some level i can't put a finger on

But it was the centerpiece of Annoying Orange's campaign slogan and has been strategically spread in the US over the past year. This title probably wouldn't have been considered if OP didn't hear this phrase thousands of times through the election. It's a bit overused at this point imo.

edit: to those outside of the US, glad you didn't have to deal with this election
