Thanks for moving it. I still wanted to discuss it further, and having a BDA outside of the thread is preferred.
So, since it isn't shitting up the actual halloween thread, I'd like to discuss it further.

>Every time the potion party started to die down naturally more potions were introduced.
For awhile, yes, but the halloween event in question wasn't introduced until after the first 40 potions were made anyways. There was a 41-50 potion list later, but it was immediately undermined in the next post, and I don't believe there were any potion uses that wouldn't have happened without that list.
>'Don't do something that isn't this until i am done with this' is the shittiest possible mindset for a public collaborative thread. What about the people who wanted to do something spooky?
>'Dont do it until i say so' is the same statement as 'dont do it'
I assume this is based on what I said about the 1 person saying 'maybe wait until the potion party dies down' in which case I can practically guarantee they were in fact working off the idea that the potions would die down before too long, and that they weren't snickering behind their monitor going 'joke's on them potions'll never die so no spooks will happen!'
But! Since riotmode just posted talking about how a grand total of 2 people were rude to him, it makes me think that I did miss something in irc. But from what I could glean from the logs, no one said any of this stuff, at all. If you have logs that did, then let me know.
There was mostly some basic disinterest to the idea and, again, the feeling that the post's wording made it sound like a thread takeover. I'm positive the event wasn't intended like that, but if you saw what happened on IRC as bitching riot out, and hear people who say 'maybe do it after the potion party dies down' and treat it the same as 'don't do it until I say so' which then is the same as the person saying 'don't do it', then I can guarantee, likewise, that there are other people who interpreted that event as saying 'you guys stop having your fun and start having my fun.'
Also, the IRC is frequently a drama zone - two people being rude should be taken with a grain of salt, and imo the halloween event shouldn't have been taken down completely over either that or 1 person going maybe wait, just a quick rewording from, say, 'monsters start attacking' to 'monsters are around if you wander to the wrong spot' or similar.
Hence -
>They should be able to have somethibg spooky happen whenever they want and not have people whining at them to wait their turn.
I really doubt this would have happened inside of the thread itself. If someone did do a non-intrusive spooky thing and people/someone, again in the thread, seriously whined about it being spooky and not involving potions or whatever, then it would have been deleted or not taken seriously.
>Also there really wasnt much interaction in this thread.
No, there wasn't, that's why I said 'a chunk.' Likewise, there wasn't a great deal of interaction in previous halloweens, either, through a quick skim of them. Correct me if the stats show otherwise.
Unless you meant a different sort of interaction, but I was talking about characters from different authors interacting. At that point I was only explaining that as far as I could tell, this halloween still had approximately the same ratio of interaction as the previous ones, even if it was comparatively low.
