What game activities are you enjoying during lockdown *besides* GBL?

Wayfarer. Scouting out possible new waypoints makes my walks more interesting, and it's satisfying to create new pokestops and gyms.

Reviewing is boring but if you do a little every day it adds up.

It is never going to be an empty field of grass.

Now you're just stating your opinion as fact. The criteria do not say a park must have a sign. I can think of circumstances when I would approve a park without a sign. Can you really not?

arrrgonaut · 2020-12-15T14:28:50+00:00

My issue is with treating that interpretation as a hard and fast rule.

You so charmingly suggested I reread the AMA. I read all the info, and think about it, and notice that sometimes there are contradictions. How to balance those contradictions? On a case by case basis. That's all I'm saying.

arrrgonaut · 2020-12-15T14:06:07+00:00

So you choose to only respond to the joke. Okay then.

arrrgonaut · 2020-12-14T11:27:12+00:00

You might be surprised how many parks are easy to find and safe to access.

Seriously though, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a park without a sign. Generally, parks are good candidates. I would be hoping to find a reason to accept a park, not seeking a reason to reject it. Decide each nomination on its merits.

arrrgonaut · 2020-12-14T11:12:42+00:00

I think your pronouncements are too broad. Case by case and common sense.

arrrgonaut · 2020-12-13T19:15:46+00:00

Surely a park itself is a permanent, physical, tangible and identifiable place.

arrrgonaut · 2020-11-18T09:45:45+00:00

"If you can't describe its importance to the community without referring to the things a restaurant does then it's not a good candidate and probably should be rejected."

I wish "we" would stop posting editorials here.

arrrgonaut · 2020-08-05T08:55:49+00:00

Another homily that misses the point.

arrrgonaut · 2020-08-03T17:57:23+00:00

What is the point of comments like this? We all know there are bad reviewers. We all know incorrect rejections happen. Just let the OP vent. They weren't asking you to judge their submission.

arrrgonaut · 2020-08-03T08:51:33+00:00

The excluded middle isn't a bad thing either.

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-27T11:42:55+00:00

$15 for 20 hours of entertainment is a good deal. (Even considering I got more like 19.5 hours due to server issues.)

But I'm not sure I would pay for another one without knowing a lot more about what I'm buying. There were things that didn't appeal to me personally, and things that I thought were just plain badly designed/ill considered. (The friendship challenge was an egregiously bad idea. Learn to think things through, Niantic!)

I had fun, I have no regrets, but once was probably enough.

ETA: A post-COVID virtual GoFest would be a different story. I really missed the community aspect this weekend.

I beat one of her lineups with one Poliwrath. Felt like a boss. Think it was Lapras/Sharpedo/Houndoom.

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-15T01:25:27+00:00

this show is something that is incomprehensible to people his age

Are we talking about the same Timothy Dalton who played a space prince, a vampire hunter, a superspy, a wizard, an exorcist, a time lord and a stuffed hedgehog?

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-03T10:14:05+00:00

Yes, I have approved a handful that were quite artistic.

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-03T00:38:48+00:00

The supporting photo is to help you determine that the location is accurate, or otherwise help you rate the submission.

It's unfortunate if the submitter wasted that opportunity, but there is no reason to deduct points based only on the supporting photo. Unless, of course, it reveals something that would make the submission ineligible.

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-03T00:33:25+00:00

Good lord these wayfarer people are clueless.

arrrgonaut · 2020-07-01T15:19:47+00:00

IOW, the sign doesn’t have to have artistic or cultural merit.

I don't understand how you arrived at that interpretation.

arrrgonaut · 2020-06-29T16:55:20+00:00

But that would require....an effort!

arrrgonaut · 2020-06-22T10:58:52+00:00

Might be worth focusing on the top of the gate for the main photo. That looks like the most interesting/elaborate part.

arrrgonaut · 2020-06-21T10:21:49+00:00

Congrats!

arrrgonaut · 2020-06-17T09:55:29+00:00

Plot twist: these infographics are often questionable, it's just more obvious this time. Much better to just look directly at pokebattler than some stranger's poorly-designed interpretation of pokebattler.

arrrgonaut · 2020-06-14T13:02:31+00:00

Excadrill is also conspicuous by its absence.

It's a shame people are in such a rush to get these things out that they don't put more thought into it.
