I think things are good how they are, and if anything, adding ideas in addition might be okay but taking away the way things currently work would be bad. How it currently works is fun, more might be more fun if it's a good idea, but nothing feels broke the way it runs right now.

i think it would be good and helpful if maybe IKs had some advanced notice that they are gonna be an IK in 2 weeks or something so you've got time to think about a fun thing to do if you want to do a fun thing. Like tell february's IK they are gonna be the IK jan 15, not jan 30.

I think I had some advance notice the one time I was IK like 5 years ago (wow it's been almost that long) but if it's that short of notice now, I can agree with this.

hello friend


as a datapoint when i was ik and chaotically random jankied it up it had nothing to do with the responsibility and was just my brain exploding.



i do think having double iks for months and also many months is very cool and good and smart.







what does anyone know

I swear I got offered IK the same month I bought plat. it was surprising and unnerving and I was finally warming up to it around the time it expired.

okay so friends, we talked about it some more and about your feedback, what we're getting out of this thread is that you guys are mostly very happy with the current setup, which is great, because we had no intention in overhauling it anyways. A bit more flexibility might be in order to provide the creative and technical ground work, but that's about it.

One suggestion we had would be this:
IKs stay as they are now, no real mods, a fun position that can push buttons if they feel the need, but never need to. Instead of reigning for exactly one month and not a second longer, we'd simply ask an IK candidate how long they are interested in ruling, no matter if it's a day or two months, with a certain max limit. Additionally, we'd also ask the new IK how they want to design their succession, if at all. A contest? A game? You appoint someone singularly and against their will? A grand posting tournament to pass the torch? You make the rules, with a certain amount of veto from mani and myself to prevent that the next IK contest would be a real life goon meet where we have to throw weed on cows until they are high from absorption through the fur.

If no succession is needed or wanted, we'd simply drop off the current IK and run IKless for a bit until we found a new one, no rush on any end. If an IK wishes to step down earlier than originally planned or would like an extension to finish up a project, that's always possible.
Multiple IKs are just as allowed as no IK at all, anything goes, we can just talk about it, both in public as well as via pms.

How would this kind of revolution sound for you guys? A new tradition to cement our place as the most colorful forum of the world?

i was kind of hoping for the kind of revolution that had pitchforks and torches, but okay. guess I’ll find something to do with all these pitchforks.

also I know this was posted an example of what not to do, but if I'm ever IK again this is how we choose my successor.

This is good. To tamper with perfection (i.e. BYOB) is surely a sign of madness.


Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

I wanted the ice cream in your avatar so I just drew that. I was doing ok until I got to your right hand, please don't look at that hand, which I tried to hide with the glass.

This is a strong contender, certainly closer to me than my avatar. You did my nose too small but that makes me look cuter so I will not deduct any points. You take the lead.
