Sorry everyone, after deleting my account in protest of The Pivot TOS changes (now reversed) and taking a year-long hiatus your favorite mod is here to cause trouble again.
Feel free to let me know what's bothering you. Examples of valid stuff to send my way: markets that need someone to just hit a button already!, issues with game designs (on or off Manifold), recipes for soup that just aren't quite good enough yet, existential questions about life and death, invites to orgies, etc.
This post thing is cool and new. I wonder if it only shows for like my followers or if I've just spammed the whole site using my mod powers. 🙃
@ian yeah there were some dating back half a year. I need to get thru a few more, but have tried keeping the queue clear. I'm an inbox zero kind of guy (also, relatedly, I have a bug where my message notifs wont clear and it's driving me mad)
@Stralor oh right, I did query for your unreads and they didn't follow the normal pattern so I was stumped at the time, I will try again right now
@Stralor okay I pushed a change, I actually think they're in your list, but somehow unread messages lost their highlight, so you'd have no idea they were unread! Refresh and check out the list now, there should be unread ones highlighted
@ian yay! I had opened every message in my box trying to clear it, but that fix refreshed the ones that needed it. thanks!
you're back! Your market was one of the first ones I traded in and was the inspiration for the largest market I created.
It would be interesting if people could get trader bonuses if they add liquidity to someone else's market but I'm not fussed about it and I'm sure you've thought of it already.
Issues with non-manifold game designs: it seems like the Zombie Infection game mode in team fortress 2 leads to a lot of feast or famine results, so to speak.
There could probably be a human vs zombie thing with manifold, where most players start out as humans and then they get bitten over time. I guess. I just thought of it since the tf2 thing was the first observation about game design I thought of.
@asmith Liquidity on others' markets: I agree! I did a design that had that before I left. We used it on another spin-off site for a bit. Still seems like a cool economy gap we could improve here.
Zombie Infection: haven't played the TF2 variation, but I did play the old Halo zombie user maps. It's definitely a feature of the game mode that it easily snowballs, but thats part of the fun when you can win or lose and reset quickly. A Manifold Plays version reminds me of Facebook pokes. Could be fun!
