I like having the announcements in Press. I can't keep up with all the deathmatches, but it gives a quick way to go in and participate in one or two when I can.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I like having hte announcements here. Press comes up before the Deathmatches in my Read New list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Press comes up before the Deathmatches in my Read New list.
That's not hardcoded, for the record. It depends on what has the newest messages.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm with Hil. I usually pop in for a vote or two when I see it in Press, but otherwise I've had to unsubscribe.

It does? I guess I didn't notice, I thought it was the order in which they appear in my subscription list. Oh, well, never mind, I still like having the announcements.

Ann, that's a ferret.
That's odd, ita. My message center works that way, but not Read New. When I hit "Read New," I usually get threads in roughly the order they were created.
Not that it causes a problem for me, but I don't know enough about the subject to know whether there may be a problem in the system.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was wondering the same thing as Steph (since deathmatch announcements account for nearly a third of all Press posts). But I didn't realize people were still finding them useful.

Thanks for all the fish.

A third? Really? Huh.
Is this a problem? The announcemnts, generally, I mean?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
32 of the last 100 press announcements, in what was a busy period for press (W&H event, a Buffista vote announcement and results, cancellation). Maybe, as a compromise, a press post when you start a new character, so that people who've been unsubbed can sub if they want, but not for every new round?

But it's not for every new round, just for reminders after a gap of several hours.
