I'm really glad to hear you guys are taking precautions! One of the things that worries me most is people overexerting themselves 'cause I know how easy it is to do, especially without realizing it. I do have faith in you guys though, and if you have plans on how to manage everything then it's good enough for me! o7
Everything you're saying here makes sense to me, really. And to be fair I know that roles/mafia probably isn't something you guys are going to do again so l-laughs, that was probably an unnecessary example, but I wouldn't mind you guys doing something with a similar concept. Final trial plans changing definitely makes sense 'cause I can see how some things could've been removed cause criteria were already cleared.
For the transformed thing... Maybe it's a terminology problem...?! I don't know BSD terms so if the human side is the "transformed" one, the confusion makes sense. I was thinking the tiger was the "transformation." Basically, I meant starting out as a tiger vs starting out as a human and then turning. The turning took a while, even if I understand the build-up was important narratively. I-I was gonna throw some hypotheticals your way but after thinking about it, it was more off-hand commentary than actual crit so probably not important.
Mostly the suggestion was 'cause the thread ended up going much longer than everybody anticipated (the time estimate was 2-3 hours and I definitely understand why it went longer by probably double the estimate) and by the time we finished, it was pretty late. I probably should have phrased it more like, "If you guys do a thread like this again, starting it at the beginning of the fight/characters running into X might be faster than going through a transformation sequence." Transformations are fun, but they can certainly take a while. YMMV though cause I do understand the appeal of build-up.
I don't think I have anything else to add though. Makes sense to me, and I'm really glad to see you guys considering what everyone's saying and answering us so diligently! o7
