Soccer + Hockey =  ...Pong??

I dunno if I spelled Queue right, but anyways:

You know that Queue that SDA has which states which runs need to be timed, in need of comments, etc.? Well I think it'd be nice if they made a list of each game in each category. Its not completely neccesary, but it'd be a nice additition. Grin

I do believe Radix said you can check the Queue in the "Needs varification" list as opposed to that other place.

How dare you propose to place more work on Radix?! To the dungeon with you!

Seriously. It's too much of a hassle for Radix just so we can know a game run a few days before it's released.

Yoshi's eggs are at my mercy!

Plus, someone asked this before. And to be more specific, Radix intentionally left them as numbers so people wouldn't bother him with PMs or AIMing him with why their run is stuck at [step number X] for the past three months.

It makes his job easier, and, quite frankly, I agree it's efficient.

[quote]Obviously you can use this topic to see what runs are coming up, since I don't list games on the queue page. [quote]

See.

Yeah, I made the suggestion a few months ago. Runs take a long time to get put up and I'm sure the process is much better for Radix without a dozen people asking "Hey, why has my run needed to be timed for two weeks now?" The most I would myself want is for Radix to list what videos they got in that need to be captured so that way I'm not worried if a run showed up or not to Nate's.

Eh.

You made a suggestion. We're telling you why it isn't going to be implemented. Be less defensive, please.

i can confirm i've received tapes if you're curious. after that, the process is considered secret in order to avoid mob mentality interfering with site operations.

everybody wanna tell you the meaning of music

To paraphrase:

It is true that specifying would save both Radix and viewers trouble. However, a lot of people still think the queue is a FIFO queue instead of a priority queue, and listing the games would let that out of the bag. Radix doesn't want people griping about how another run was accepted later but published before theirs.

I have no problem with any of this.
