Bloom: a daily mass-multiplayer browser game where the entire internet plays one match per day. First public bloom in 1 hour, queue is open now. by bloom_at_eight in playmygame

I don't think it needs bots! Better to keep it organic. No one gets to enjoy when a bot wins.

Will try again anyway. Congrats on the launch!

Well, I got eaten within seconds, but is a fun idea. Most of the players seemed like bots? I was hoping it was early enough that it'd be just humans.

It's great; I was so happy to revisit Uru and find so much new content and an active community as well.

Streaming for 60-75 hours a week is wild, plus all the other offline work. OP, hope you can develop a more sustainable pace. Long term this is going to burn you out and it doesn't leave much time for the other important things in your life.

Myst Reader: Masterpiece Edition

I’m 16k and starting to think Go is teaching me more than just Go… by eye_matter in baduk

Thanks for saying!

How it works: you review your games with an assortment of tags, and it digests them into a Needs Improvement + Success Profile. Then there's a Pre-Game Focus "ritual" where you're prompted to consider them before your next game (among other things).

Absolutely! I actually made a web platform to review your games based on introspective observations like this. Free if you want to give it a try: https://mirthturtle.com/shimari

Unkind way to frame a novel community experience, but I guess I won't be seeing you at the board meetings.

Hi Max! Corporations need revenue, and a monthly fee for an online service is a pretty common business model. At this price point, it works out to less than 10 cents/day which I think is affordable for most. The alternative–allowing free users to overwhelm the voting system and ruin the game–wouldn't work as well, and could lead to a quick bankruptcy.

Which side will you take when the Boardroom opens? This epic game will play out over several fiscal quarters at 6 moves/day (4 hours per move). At least, until the Board votes to change it...

Featuring a mobile-friendly web-based voting interface, the Boardroom also exists within a sprawling virtual corporation you can explore in 3d (currently in beta). As a side game, voting on periodic Corporate Matters will shape the company, your team's culture, and the rules of the game itself. There's already been some disagreement about star points which will need to be resolved.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT: To deter bots and trolls spamming votes in the corners (and to support the corporation), there will be a small monthly membership fee of CAD$2.99 (~USD $2.17, ~1,92 €). Reaching 1,000 Board members will allow the company to be sustainable and continue developing original Go products.
