Title: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: helvetica on April 20, 2010, 01:23:20 PM
One year anniversary of MotK 3.0 - Drug Dealing Dingo. What we do will depend on how much of a nap I get when I get home.

What should we do?

Allow embedded YouTube for the day in one thread. You could announce it by starting the thread.

This is what I see:

(http://i41.tinypic.com/zwoi0.png)

Knowing the place is called "Maidens of the Kaleidoscope" already, I can pretty much make out those words in the logo. But at first glance, it's really hard to tell.

I would eliminate the glowing white horizontal line running through all the letters in the name. The star behind "THE" is fine.

Then again it could be my eyes.

No.  The permissions required to embed Youtube requires me to give people the rights to write raw HTML, and like hell am I going to let that happen.  Even if I could limit it to one thread (which I could by making a subforum just for it, but that's a lot of work), you can do some horrible things with raw HTML rights.

Change the board font to Hymnos.

Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Alternately, make everything Nanoha-themed. :]

EDIT: Ahahaha, I have an idea. Make a fake "Board Room" and pretend there's some horrible glitch that makes it so that we can't make it invisible to our regular members, and give them a taste of what we talk about: deep and scintillating conversations about Nanoha, Pangya, or something else, with absolutely no work getting done.

Or change the board theme to swaying palm tree .gif files and get an MSPaint version of the same logo. Whatever works, really.

Set up a Stickam window at the top of a thread and go on cam, while people post in thread. You could respond to them on cam.

Barring that, embed a MIDI version of "Beloved Tomboyish Daughter" as autoloading background music for the site, refreshed every time someone clicks a link.

I know, and his pestering reminded me to replace it (which I have).  But he's complaining about the line itself making the title hard to read.

Yeah, that idea already isn't going to happen anyway, so your dial-up is safe from clogging.

Also, I wasn't "complaining" about the logo so much as pointing out what I see might need fixing about it, but whatever. Not a deal breaker for me.

Also also, if you do go with swaying palmtree gifs and Comic Sans, make the background manilla paper. Preferably tiled.

I like using hyperbole.  It is a fun word.

Hint: if I say you're "complaining", "whining", "pestering", etc., you're not.  I'm just a :derp: head.  If you're really being a whiny baby I'll use a lot harsher words.

You know, it occurs to me that this very topic could be prime fuel for the Board Room, except in the form of "What new features can we add to the site?". Some ideas could be awesome, and other horrendous. Also, there could be talk of a peace treaty struck with DS.

I like using hyperbole.  It is a fun word.

I like pronouncing it "hyper-bowl" to see who will correct me.

Any plans involving a fake board room should have a few topics that hint (subtly or not-so-subtly) at Suwako being the real head admin. >_>

Yes! And personally, I rather like the fake board room idea. So long as we keep the topics within bounds. I rather like taking a cue from Google on this one, with regards to bizarre new features. Only instead of announcing a new feature or three, TSO could, for example, be like "I've finally been able to set up a 3D chat world, ala Second Life, just for us. It should be up and running in a few days" and then others chime in with their own ideas, that there should be flying bats in the world that randomly attack people and if they kill you, you're banned, so you need to acquire weapons by going on quests and shit.

Or "So I found a way to enable audio posting, where people could leave playable voice clips instead of posts in threads" and then other people suggesting that this should actually replace text posting altogether.

Or you could go the bug route, with "So apparently there's this weird patch of code that I found in the site where people born between 15 and 25 June 1980 have full admin rights. I keep trying to fix this, but it keeps reverting back for some reason. I have no idea what's causing it."

I don't know how practical this is, or if you can do mass group edits or have to do one on one, but make everyone IP for the day? And for the record, I am in full support of doing anything that has anything to do with Nanoha.

Or maybe surprise everyone by kicking off Eirin's Danmaku Dating Service Season 2!

Just open a separate board strictly for everything Nanoha related and put it at the top of the Outside the Border category. :3

And then after the festivities maybe we can turn it into a general anime/manga board if we don't just get rid of it.

Y'know, the title of this thread made me think of Suwako in more ways than one :]

Though, I myself would welcome the resurgence of Emperor Norton I. :derp:

Speaking of: we should make the fake mod board some kind of hotbed for a subversive, Illuminati-esque movement, with Ammy going on rants about how the capitalist foreign investors will soon see their downfall on the horizon, while Edible goes on a secret undercover mission to track down and tap into the vast amounts of evil energy stored within the cursed gold ingots that have been passed down from generation to generation of the JP Morgan-Chase conglomerate.

Weird, the logo with the purple stripe on top is still showing in RPG. Even a hard refresh didn't make the current fixed one display.

EDIT: RPG logo link is still the old URL, which explains why a hard refresh did nothing.

Do the fake modboard thing.  Move a few legit threads (mostly stuff like ban threads etc) into it, but intersparse ridiculous threads about torturing users and things like that.  Or even just make it look like we care far more about nanoha and stuff than about the site :V I'll fake dates on the threads when I get home.

Then I'll see if I can at least get a dev blog up.  I just dunno what else I'll get done by the end of the day, I am completely exhausted.

TSO, get some sleep if you need it that badly.

In the meanwhile:  Matsuri, Ammy, and whoever is willing to help: We should have at least one ridiculous powerlevels thread between all of us. And Matsy especially, I need you to help fangirl with me over shoujo anime. And there should be a thread about how moderation reports are a pain and no one wants to answer them. How does that sound?

Then take a catnap or do something relaxing even while you're at work. Just don't stress out if you're feeling that under-the-weather. :(

I (or Kilga or Edible or whatever) will make a fake Mod Board with a legit-sounding title like Staff Forum-- or if we're going with the Nanoha theme, Time-Space Administration Bureau. For now, it'll be hidden from view, and probably with the same modification that RPG has for its users and how they can't be seen in threads, in order to maintain plausible deniability ("The glitch is spreading, but no one can see this board so we're cool"). I'll leave the individual thread-moving to the SJs and such, but be sure to not release any sensitive information. And in the meanwhile, Pesco, start up a Moderator Mafia or something, and let's make this new board look as crazy as can be~

You going to spam up the mafia thread any more? I want to perform BBB's Gambit (http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=BBB's_Gambit) but that'd work better after a few other posts.

Edit: oh nm it's open already? Never mind, then.
The timestamps weren't edited though?

Some people have already caught on. We'll have to unapprove all of their posts 'till the big reveal tomorrow~

We had two leaks: this is the second one. And tomorrow, RC3 will actively rebel against us and TSAB will be open all day~ >:D

Sorry, I fell asleep hardcore :(

Don't worry about timestamps, just make a thread complaining about how all the dates are screwed up from RC3 upgrade.

I kind of just said in the bug thread that a bunch of glitches are going on, and the timestamps are one of them. :P

I think the reason that the 'staff forum' is viewable by everyone should be that someone is hacking into the system, just because I love that cliche. :V We're locked out of the system, and can't exercise mod powers within the staff board for the time being, or something like that.

This whole thing is about as believable as an 80's sci fi horror flick. I don't think it's worthwhile to try too hard to make it 'realistic', it ruins the campiness.

Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Alfred F. Jones on April 22, 2010, 02:53:54 PM
Okay, my plan is this:

Right now I'm going to school, and it's Thursday, so my classes are fairly short (most of the time I spend today will be used on transportation). Upon finishing my second and last class, I'm going to run to the computer lab (the one that runs Linux), and throw open TSAB for regular members etc to see. Then I'll head home, which should take about 45 minutes. When I get home, either me or TSO will come out with it and say it's MotK's one-year anniversary, we played a prank just for you guys etc etc, and from there on out, TSAB becomes the place to celebrate.

Mats told me his schedule, and I think he's got the proper permissions to play with permissions (if I remember G.Mod correctly), so I'll leave it to his discretion to open up TSAB before I get to any computer. As for TSO, if she would make a thread here in the Board Room and later move it to TSAB to kick off the festivities, that would be awesome. If she can't, then someone else or me will type it up.

Failing all of this, someone else can throw in a plan of their own.

Right then, I'm headin' to school, see you guys on the other side~
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Tengukami on April 22, 2010, 03:10:28 PM
Shouldn't TSAB be open a bit longer that that before the big reveal? I'd like it milked for maximum effect.

Funny thing: Sakana is shaming people in CPM4C for 'sniffing around' in the mod forums.

Sure. I'll throw it open in a few minutes, and leave it open with no explanation for a while longer. If anyone has any objections, please speak up right now~

No one's buying it. The time stamps are all from yesterday, so you'd have to be brain damaged to think this is the actual mod forum.
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Tengukami on April 22, 2010, 08:33:33 PM
Alright, I made a couple posts in CPM4C about how time stamps among other things are totally borked on the mod forum. Also took a tone of frustrated resignation. We'll see.
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Helepolis on April 22, 2010, 08:39:01 PM
The game tbh got played badly. Instead of making waifu threads, making more "serious" threads with here and there piracy/silly things would have been more convincing. Oh well, easy for me to talk after it is all over.

It also took me a while to understand why that forum section existed. Blame time zones.
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Matsuri on April 22, 2010, 08:40:11 PM
There's only so many serious topics you  can use without revealing more than we want to. :matsuri:

Shall I close the fake forum for now? We can add more threads while it is.

Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Matsuri on April 22, 2010, 08:45:09 PM
Just about two hours.

And we close it, add more silly threads, add more serious threads, and re-open it one last time after we can get the timestamps fixed.

They think they've got it all figured out, and well... they do.

Let's change that. >:D
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Tengukami on April 22, 2010, 08:48:36 PM
Well, I think closing it, "fixing" the time stamps and then re-opening it would look like "Check it out, new and improved troll!" They should have been fixed in the first place. Oh what this prank could have been.

Ah well. The best laid plans ...

Can't hurt to try, I guess.

It would probably look more convincing if I weren't the only staff member griping about this publicly, too.
Title: Re: You know what tomorrow is right?
Post by: Matsuri on April 22, 2010, 08:53:06 PM
I'm able to 'fix' it. If people knew I was around, they'd know I wasn't doing anything!

Even so, closing it now.

It's been quite long enough for anyone who would've wanted to post in that thread to do so. I'm gonna open up TSAB in a half-hour (while I go eat breakfast at 1:21 PM), if that's fine with everyone. I've put this off long enough.

To my defense: I didn't see this board the first time it became visible, and at the only info in CPM4C was that 'the staff board had become visible'.
When it became visible the second time, the fake was obvious and I was already starting to wonder whether the first time was the same thing. Obiously it was  :V

My only concern was that not enough people were posting when it was opened. Whole lot of lurking, everyone too scared to post. So then we had you actually taking an admirable moral stance and I thought, "Great, someone with a CONSCIENCE. Now what do we do?"

If I wasn't clear, I tried specified "settled" matters to indicate the sort of benign and settled issues that were (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5803.msg319189#msg319189) moved here, and new ones only moved out once settled. It'd still be the staff's choice what gets 'published' this way. But I won't insist.
