It's a compromise between off and on
CH

the reddit part is bad enough

[[Webpage]]The thing I was being annoying about before I went to bed looks good, thank you. I might change the first "agent" to "player" in this paragraph


RIOT is a database application that aggregates information extracted from ingress.com/intel and agent scanner data and makes it available for agents to search
I still think we should change "mod deployment, notably vrla" to "deployment of VRLA and very rare hack mods" but it sounds like people got tired of that conversation
CH
Charlie Arnold
it's been a long night
we may be done splitting hairs
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Ok. So I should not read over things and copyedit?
CH
Charlie Arnold
But, you know, who knows what will happen when Erich wakes up?
no, please do those things. Look for big problems more than little ones.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I'll write everything and tag him if I hit a big one
CH
Charlie Arnold
good, good
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
So, not a big one: I might say "enemy agents acting outside their predefined home areaS" bc they can have more than one
CH
Charlie Arnold
right. With 6.6 hours to go, and maybe 2 of those waking and productive, we're down to just big stuff.
nitpicking was last night
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Yep. Mostly I'm just noticing that the whole set of proposed nitpicks for this page last night didn't get made, probably accidentally since it includes some that were approved in chat.
CH
Charlie Arnold
the volume of comms is/was completely insane
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I'm fully aware that many more important things happened
CH

good morning Amber!

We know epsilonprime is male right?

It's making my tism flare
CH
Charlie Arnold
anonymous male is a thing that's gonna happen from time to time, even in the modern era.
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Is that chrome or a tg/Gmail native browser?
Yep just looking for things we could get wrong
AM
Amber Yeary
Most people will read this on mobile and if it looks garbo they will disregard
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Also that's really out of character for you to not care about lol
CH
Charlie Arnold
checking
AM
Amber Yeary
Center titles and Xs
CH
Charlie Arnold
I go back and forth
AM
Amber Yeary
Fix it
Hurry hurry

Heh okay we're inconsistent about anonymous male vs they on the riot page but it's ok
Unsure what this means at bottom of 'riot' page -- we are talking about the slack bot as opposed to a desktop app?


The bot is designed for mobile use of the RIOT feature set.
Might add a few words there to explain if so
What if we included a link at the bottom of the bot page that says "read next: link to whatever tool comes next" for mobile ease of use
Omnivore page: hangouts is one word
CH
Charlie Arnold
noting for forwarding purposes. Only Erich has the ability to make changes.
AN

Slight inconsistency between "ADA bots" and "ADA Bot", I'm sure you won't care
CH
Charlie Arnold
lol you're not really talking to me anyway :) Erich will be along soon and FRESH AS A DAISY

Radar page: this paragraph looks like it could be rephrased, looks a little copy pasted


For instance, it can alert you when an agent links over 20km thrown within 30 minutes of checkpoints, or any field thrown over a certain mu threshold


E.g.

you're super sideways. It's late/early and my neck doesn't want do to that

Lol...oops

We switched from third person on riot to second person on radar which makes it a bit more obvious this was written by committee. Maybe not a big surprise to anyone that it was though.
Third is I think more neutral
CH
Charlie Arnold
that's an interesting question. Is it better if it looks piecemeal of it looks uniform?
NA
Nadia Amro
*sigh*
CH
Charlie Arnold
we're in pretty good shape either way for ~40 hours notice :)

Why aren't you people sleeping so I can catch up??

well, just show a little disicipline there yo. Ignore this thing, read the other thing. You've had HOURS already
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
I'm almost done.
Riot...one: most visited does not require a hyphen
God this thing is damning.
And we don't have to be careful about listing our clearers in sitre ps if res are tracking clearing this way this universally.
Hunter: extra space before one of the uses of agent. May be clearer if we add enemy or opposition or something so the two agents in the paragraph aren't confused.
Mods: Erich left a comment in to himself that he needs to delete and implement
Nitpick inconsistency on riot...one -- periods at ends of sentences or not?
Heh if you are res and just hunting uniques not guardians you're still using riot to do it
CH
Charlie Arnold
hey please edit "riot . One" - it comes up in TG desktop as a valid URL
which goes straight to a google login
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
.... Actually done
AM
Amber Yeary
I'm super serious about the roster. If it comes out looking like that on mobile people will not trust the content
Right on the front page
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
What would fix it? Wrapping agent names? Making columns narrower by shortening text in them?
AM
Amber Yeary
I have no idea, I'm illiterate
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
There's something really weird about how this WordPress template displays on mobile, I don't know if there's a setting to fix that
Because that's the real problem causing this
CH
Charlie Arnold
this may not be a solvable problem in time
this is what I see what I look at it on mobile:

Can we change the gray background to white? That may be customizable
CH
Charlie Arnold
it's not awesome, but it's not the worst thing ever, or anything I wouldn't expect from wordpress
nah, that's an artifact of android chrome I think
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
If the gray is really there
CH
Charlie Arnold
looks fine on desktop
AM
Amber Yeary
It needs to be fixed. Most hits will come from mobile and if people see a mess, it impacts the trustworthiness of the message
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Right I'm speaking to someone who thought it was okay to have a Google form for an op you couldn't complete on ios
CH
Charlie Arnold
it's one of those bullshit godawful things makes web developers want to murder a bag of lemurs
adorable baby lemurs
AM
Amber Yeary
They will disregard if it comes in a gross package
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
They are. I'm sorry.

Amber Yeary
I work in consumer products, I know this
CH
Charlie Arnold
I'm just saying, we can try
but it's fucking free wordpress
AM
Amber Yeary
It's not a try, it's a do
Then I'll pay for it, idc
CH
Charlie Arnold
well, maybe get on that
