In any case no one cares about how much you're trusting werster's word over these things. He hates Uyama despite not speaking a single word to him. There is no such 'War on Fun', you do remember that Blueglass was originally called YSG to make fun of him right? That the 'ban' was put in place to try and stop him getting more crap. That it changed from people hating on him to liking him just didn't make it back to them. If anything this would be a War on Dickish Behaviour. Are you seriously complaining that a nickname was banned as people were making fun of the guy? Uyama isn't the only guy calling shots at AGDQ, but you don't hear people complaining about Breakdown. Why is that? From what I can tell there's a bunch of people who don't like Mike and are spreading stories and attributing all the negative crap to him. But if you want to just continue thinking that it's really him being horrible and no one has stepped up to fix it go ahead, but don't spread stories when you have no clue about their accuracy.

The YSG thing makes sense, because it wasn't clear at all at first that people weren't just making fun of him, or that by the end of the event everyone would be embracing Blueglass as a hero of the people, so I get the staff erring in favor of his protection. What I do know though is that Mike was behind most of the 3-7 hour long chat embargoes, because that guy doesn't get how twitch works at all, and so I don't really blame people for thinking the guy hates fun. It was bad having chat disabled for virtually half the final day and a four hour long FF closeout, but the worst example was from Flicky's DMC3 run, when Flicky was being his regular abrasive self, flaming donation comments for making stupid requests, etc. and so the tech guy had a go with him by loving with his mic channel to make him sound like some kind of Hell Witch. It was hilarious, which is a nice thing for a run that's otherwise not being taken very seriously, and chat explodes with laughter-- then Mike throws up another four hours of submode to shut that poo poo down. Like at least you could make the excuse he was trying to 'protect' Mirrored_ who was being (rightfully) flamed to hell, but the guy doesn't understand basic humor, or hype.

K8.0 posted:I'm going back and watching archived stuff I missed from AGDQ. Is there a list anywhere of which speed runs are the ones that are glitchfest demolitions like DK64, Sonic 06, or either OOT run? Those and other runs where there's a lot of doing poo poo you aren't supposed to do (like Super Monkey Ball 1) are the runs I find really entertaining. I got around to seeing it and Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the run you want to see. If you've seen other runs of the game it will still defy your expectations.

Most of, if not all of the Sub Modes were instituted by ShadowWraith or maybe ssskinner, both of whom have absolutely zero tolerance for Twitch chat shenanigans, with no distinction between the harmless spammy fun and the actual hurtful stuff that sometimes gets thrown around in them.

You are not supposed to talk in the chat, the mod might miss their right-click>ban and that's understandable since it's going so fast. Anything good you say might be taken as sarcasm too. Just enjoy the text wall or say WOAAAHHH during major skips. The best thing to do is plan and throw a party for when runs your friends want to see will happen. Get some beers and people that like a certain block of games together. It's a good time.

People go after Uyama because he's the one who is declared the organizer of AGDQ. He's the one who does the intro, the ending, etc. So he is essentially the face of the event. Personally, Breakdown pisses me off far more than Mike, but that's really neither here nor there.

In between all the /clears and the occasional taunting douchebag who thought it was intelligent to egg on 35k viewers who couldn't talk, you'd see mods having conversations amongst themselves about when the chat was coming back up, and a couple of times it was mentioned that it was Mikwuyma or someone on his account who had initiated the submode. If it wasn't actually him I take back the hate.

The first time Twitch chat got shut off it was done by Twitch themselves because they'd gotten so many complaints about the chat being a complete shitpile. Past that I have no idea, but I'd be very surprised if Mike did anything since he'd made it pretty clear beforehand that he didn't give two shits about the Twitch chat. Frankly, neither did I. My attitude towards that was to let them do whatever they wanted and only use the Quakenet chat if I used anything at all. I spent maybe an hour total in the chatrooms during the entire main event. I remember Panzeh coming up to me at some point and telling me that people wanted me to come on Synirc, but I'm pretty sure I was neck-deep in something else at the time and didn't feel like running upstairs to grab my laptop. Even on Quakenet, the chat was 80% useless banter, 15% arguing about FF/MLP/whatever the gently caress and 3% "the game audio is too quiet/loud" or "can we get a roll call" or "I can't tell who's on which side of the screen" (despite them being listed in order on the bottom).

Donation ticker is a great idea. Just read aloud donations greater than $25 and there's no problem at all. They'll probably make more money because people will have to shell out more than five bucks to tell Cosmo he's great.

Or they just don't donate at all because they're poor and we lose their small donations completely (which really add up; I'd be interested in seeing the breakdown of donations by pricing). I'm not saying it's not a potentially good idea and worth considering, but it's definitely a gamble. Personally I think the ticker should be there for every non-offensive donation but donations would still be read aloud when they could (breaks in runners speaking or between games); there would be the same backlog and rush to get through them like this year, but less pressure to do so.

It's a weird problem to have. Ticker for sure. Probably have it try to automatically adjust the ones it skips depending on how big the backlog is. Anything under a dollar is pretty much entirely eaten by Paypal, so that'll be the absolute minimum.

In fairness, it's really difficult to tell a pair of names listed in order from a pair of names not listed in order when you don't know what the order is. Adding (left) and (right) after people's names or adding a note to the main page would probably be a good idea in future.

This seemed to also be affected by who was reading at the time -- if it wasn't Mike, smaller donations seemed to be way more likely to be read, even during really, really donation-heavy runs. Dunno if that was a failure of communication or what.

It should have been filtering these out anyway, so if any made it through that was probably a bug. That said, I'm going to look into forcing some sort of minimum. I don't know if Paypal lets you reject payments under a certain amount, but if nothing else I can add it to the callback page that they see after the donation goes through.

It might not be a bad idea to have someone or someones filter/censor/add phonetic pronunciations and pass that list to the announcer. You could setup a twitter like @AGDQdonations and have that person simply post the donations to the twitter feed. That way the announcer can just update the twitter feed and read comments without needing to think or pause or read-ahead about the content of what they're reading. It would also make a great excuse to tell people to keep it to 140 characters.

We had a couple people screening donations and assigning bids. Even with 2-3 people it was hard to keep up sometimes. Nothing made it to the reader's station without being passed through the screening crew first. Obviously they weren't perfect, but with 16000 donations it's inevitable that something's going to get through. Though I was still pretty  at whoever let Mike Hunt through.

I still don't quite get why you guys insist on moderating the donation comments with 3 people on-site. Why not just outsource it to a larger group beforehand? If you get a large enough volunteer group you can have them checked over multiple times.

We had tables set up for like 5-6 people to be doing it but somehow it ended up only being 2 most of the time. I kept saying to go get more people to help them out but it never happened and I had other things I needed be keeping an eye on.
