the only thing wrong with the leaderboard IMHO is that you had to take out a calculator to figure out who would win

What is true is that I was 5 million ahead with 6 hours to go on the timer and you pushed it forward with a massive TDH vote
I'm totally ok with it - that's the rules of the game - but I'm still saying it shook me up badly. Even if it's not person, it is a big deal to be in that situation
I'm loving it for the lore etc etc
But we do need to talk about the Leaderboard - I have ideas to offer
but it is important to normalize that it is not
so it can be surprising
now everyone sees the process
and we shifted everything down 2 days
suddenly a card is topical or @[6529er] made a topical card
something happens
you all just don't know we did
we've done this before
it would have gotten there in 1-2 rounds
if it was just a good DF card
in any case as i discussed in the other wave, that card had a time-sensitivity to it that nothing else in the lineup did

and I did not even get a co-creator tag. sad!

fuck sake had me do changes to Pebbles for months! :)
so i figured (correctly I think) that people were not mathing right
it was 70:45 at that point! i did not do anything from 3 to 70

I absolutely read it as that until you killed the vote with 20 million for DF
That shook me
Started to wonder if I’d badly misread the situation
usually in these cases @[6529er] was right and I was wrong and I would be like "wait, this card is weird" and he would say "no it is great" and then we would mint it and it turns it it was great and i was a moron

that's an insight! lol
so @[RegularDad] that is both the direct and the meta answer
it just meant "yup i am in agreement i have nothing to change"
it did not mean the "ok" was less enthusiastic
sometimes he would send to me and I would be like "ok"
sometimes i would be lobbying @[6529er] hard for or against something or vice-versa
was like this in SZN1-10 too
helping curate the next card
but want to be very clear that people should not read my votes as expressions of anything other than
feeling my way through it
something like that
so i said "ok, this might be interesting to have it with no help from me" particularly since it has a peoples' choice aspect too
@[Articulate] shot up instantly the first day he posted with no help from me, it was clear it was going to get minted sometime in the near future
once it had lots of votes and 70M TDH, it was clear it had support for monday but also maybe people were not doing the 24HR math right so i pushed it over the edge and we changed the calculation so it would be more clear
DF came and posted late - when first posted i gave it 3M TDH to get it visible and then waited for 19 hours to see what people wanted to do
so people could take a look
piece was good and was maybe being overlooked so we boosted it enough to get looked at but not enough to get over the line
also have a bit of a meta-thing going on that I do not want the absolute value of my vote to mean anything.
it is not the case that if I vote X or Y or 10X or 100Y it reflects anything.
I am trying to make sure the collection is: a) great, b) broadly in the direction the group wants
so to take some examples. both @[6529er] and I thought @[Gingerpotter]

Great! Ty! :sgt:
until we can think about it
so safety-first we did not enable this
we have not had enough brain cycles to think about this carefully enough
so someone could drop something malicious, people click on it and get infected regardless of it gets voted
here there is no pre--check
we looked at them ourselves, at the html before minting them
the html cards previously minted
you don't want someone to put something into the artwork that will hack your computers and steal your jpgs

i seems to be the only one not getting this lol sry! what does it mean? "arbitrary code" ?
peoples' choice! was clearly going to make it so wanted to see that happen (without me)

@[punk6529] there has been lots of speculation on why you didn’t have any votes for @[Articulate] card. I’m sure you have reasons. can you tell us what they were?
polarizing! personally i had told him that I thought the sky could maybe use texture but anyway he has the bg to make his artist choice

No rational human thinks that blue is ok
it should be where the submission is
than "go find another random wave somewhere"
but I think this is much more likely to work
yes we can make it somehow more obvious

you mean the "discussion channel" ? this means that you would have to drop it here before, and change it if it doesn't get enough traction or if you think it should be improved anyway. makes sense.
talking about this, it's a bit hard to go to "your art's discussion" from the main stage, just a UX improvement, there's space next to FAQ for "my discussion" ... next step could be "discussion I'm following" but that's secondary as they'll show in the main thread anyway
for arbitrary code
need to think carefully about how to make sure we don't create a mechanism
