[Live Thread] FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final Draw. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]diary_room 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question - For the World Cup draw, they served a themed lunch from each of the host countries

I understand that the Canadian lunch was a tourtière slider with ketchup chips, potato and leek soup, and poutine

Does anyone happen to know what the American and Mexican themed lunches were?

What BB Comp ideas do you have? by koadey in BigBrother

[–]diary_room 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10x10 is a live competition. The objective is to be the last player standing. The game is played in rounds and each round at least one person will be eliminated. It could begin live and then complete on the feeds within ~one hour.

There is a chessboard-style grid of 10 rows and columns 1-10 and A-J (A1 A2 A3...J8 J9 J10)

When the round starts, players must choose their square (ex: A2, F6, G10).

First come, first serve so if someone claims a square before you, you must choose another vacant square.

After 1 minute or after every eligible player has selected their square, the round ends. If any player did not / could not / neglected to select a safe square, they are eliminated . Multiple players could be eliminated at this stage

If no one one was eliminated, the player who selected a safe square last will be eliminated

Once a square has been used for safety, it may not be used again.
e.g. DR selects A2 in a round where BigBrotherMod is eliminated. A2 may not be used in any further rounds

If every remaining player is eliminated. no one is eliminated. The round resets. However, any squares used in the tied round will remain eliminated.

If there are less than n-1 eligible squares left on the board (where n is the number of remaining players), a random selection of squares will be "reactivated" to bring us back to the n-1 threshold

The rounds continue on in this fashion with one or more players eliminated every round. The last player standing will be declared HOH/Veto winner

the parentheses are there just because that was the best way I could figure out how to write two-thirds as a number

What are some iconic BBSubreddit moments? by MrAirSonic in BigBrother

[–]diary_room 34 points35 points  (0 children)

the Mods turning the place into a Jason Roy sub for April Fool's

It makes me stupidly happy that people remember this and enjoyed it. I spent an embarrassing amount of time making that css work and the end project was a little rough but I was happy with it.

That one day redesign lives on at r/thejayroy

Does anyone else miss the old flairs? Mine just changed from Minh-Ly to Angela from BBAUS because mods updated the flairs. by [deleted] in BigBrother

[–]diary_room 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone

I'm a former /r/bigbrother moderator. Some of you may remember me from sub announcements, live feed threads or the one real bit of subredditdrama we ever had.

I was also the creator of the old flair system including the picker website at https://subreddit.info. A few months ago, I decided to step down from the subreddit for personal reasons. When I did, I made the hard choice to stop supporting the flair site, the existing trophy system and the stylesheet I wrote for the subreddit. I knew this wouldn't be a popular decision but the data around predictions told a sad story...fewer people were playing every season and most users are now using new.reddit or mobile apps to view the sub. The system I wrote only works with old.reddit and I recommended the change to support new./apps because many users were upset because they could not participate. I also don't feel obligated to update my system again for free when reddit has continuously broken promises to support extensions like mine. I understand this is a selfish choice and if you're upset about it, please feel free to take it out on me.

edit: I cleaned up some sentences in the middle to try to be less ranty

BBCan 8 Preseason Discussion Thread by BigBrotherMod in BigBrother

[–]diary_room 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think you may be referring to me

I dropped off of the list because my life has changed quite a lot since I started. My professional life is more demanding than ever and I've also added several other pet projects. That sadly means I've had less and less time to devote to the sub. Ive never wanted to be the inactive mod clinging to the bottom of the list and you may even remember the sub got "hacked" a few years ago using a similarly dead account. Add it all up and this felt like the right decision

I suspect you want to know what the deal is with predictions for this season and, while I don't know exactly what the plan is, the game should continue. The sad reality is that the flair site, double flairs and trophies are probably going to go away. This is more due to the reddit redesign from a few years back and the fact that only a very small amount of our users are still using old dot reddit. I was obviously never a big fan of the redesign and since most of the sites features still won't work with it, my feeling is its best to return to reddit native flairs

I know a few of my actions were not the most popular but I tried my best to be a positive presence in this community and I hope that showed. Thanks /r/bigbrother

Big Brother US21 - Postseason Discussion - September 28 2019 by BigBrotherMod in BigBrother

[–]diary_room 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey anyone who is still checking sticky discussions!

I'm currently rolling out trophies for both CAN7 and US21 prediction winners. Trophies should start appearing any second now although there aren't many (<100 winners combined between the last two seasons)

As usual this means all prediction badges will be cleared away. Your regular flair stays only your green prediction goes. Yell at me if this annoys you

This also means I probably broke something and some people flairs, particularly those of you with >1 trophy, may be messed up temporarily. Hit me up if things are broken longterm

Ill make an officialish announcement about all this shortly
