@Roz obvs so nothing dethrones the AoA thread post count.

@Jennkryst said in As a PLAYER, how many staff would be ideal in a game?: I want more staff than players, so when the player nagging inevitably burns someone out, there are plenty of replacements available until the burn-out fully recuperates. I now know I want staffers who are allowed to have player bits, so it’s not like pulling teeth to recruit new staffers when breaks happen.

@MisterBoring said in Code Question: Rock, Paper, Scissors: You do have a point about RPS strategy that I hadn’t considered, so perhaps having the command be a bit more interactive so that each player inputs their choice. If it only ever runs one game at a time, you can run it so you rps <choice> and it creates a data attribute on an object. If you’re the first player, it stores your data and emits something about “waiting for 2nd player…” If it already has one DATA-* attribute, then it knows you’re the second player, and it resolves the match, emits the resolution, and wipes the data. If it already has two DATA-* attributes, then it is broken.

@Selira TY I will check it out.

@Deviant JK Rowling has claimed that she came up with the whole ‘wizard school’ idea independently of Yolen (in 1991), Pratchett (1983), Murphy (1974) and LeGuin (1968). LeGuin said that her own Roke Island wizard’s school was inspired by T.H. White having mentioned the folkloric wizard school Domdaniel in The Sword In the Stone (1938). Domdaniel is known to English speakers from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. But Rowling says it’s coincidence, and the other authors have, wisely, not bothered to argue.
