so if you don’t start analyzing a lot more posts, making reads & catching up then I’m going to policy lynch you and there’s a lot of reasons why

again, blame litten

sheeting is not helpful
the time spent on admin work is much less effective than just actually reading the game

especially a reads spreadsheet

a reads spreadsheet is like totally pointless. knowing what people read isn’t what’s helpful. it’s knowing if their read is genuine

the only use case I can see for a reads spreadsheet is to visually see how someone’s reads might have changed overtime but even then you could just… quote them doing that and make it a forum post?

also quoting forum posts is a lot more convincing than screenshotting your sheet for that purpose too, you want original source material for everything

unless you’re informed. it lets you analyse your own position in thread and decide what might be a viable ML.

and I guess if you consider tracking someone’s read progression ā€œknowing what people readā€ that’s useful for village

I tried to sheet a mash once your words are lost on me

that’s the point.
it forces me to read the game.

if you’re that determined on sheeting why wouldn’t you just write a program with a GUI to quickly input & format reads, possibly even with an export function to discourse post format

what? but you’re forced to read the game or you’ll lose? lol
your impact as a player is significantly dampened if you don’t read the game which means you’re far more likely to lose

I’m typically doing this shit on a school chromebook or at home on my phone.
Also, such a bot would be incredibly inaccurate due to either missing reads or categorizing non-reads as reads (i.e. someone asking why someone else thinks that [Player] is [alignment], which would likely just be seen as ā€œ[Player] is [alignment]ā€)

im not suggesting that the parsing of posts be automatic

it forces me to read it slightly deeper and actually comprehend every post.

Busier today than I thought I’d be. I’ll be back on in some time, currently unsure how much.

I have thoughts on Neon and Daeron here but I’d rather say nothing for now to influence it as little as possible.

Then it’s basically the exact same thing???

not every post has alignment indicative content
you don’t need to read every single post in intense detail, just enough to understand the general content and determine if there’s alignment indicative content in it
