Closest to zero doesn’t belong to me to be honest :)

I don’t remember the exact numbers, but mine was something around 0:00:8# while comradepupivy was around 0:00:3#

Otherwise, great game. Can’t wait for season 4

Ca-Caw

corvuscornix burned three royal decrees in 20 minutes, a Blue blitz mid-game

we voted for them because they promised corvid facts, and they ended up using the decrees to broadcast them, resulting in our amzing corvid cult. it was awesome.

That was very fun, and just the kind of community building that will help bring Fediverse users together, building a sense of community that is benefits from the relatively small scale of these many instances.

I definitely think the Chancellor system (or something akin to it) should be retained for future iterations; it encourages invested players to take an active role in roleplaying, guiding new users, and keeping things interesting. I do think the extra 30 minutes of button protection for Chancellors discouraged community participation by leaving nothing for users to do, so perhaps that feature should be replaced with something else. If the Chancellor feature is kept, perhaps the ways of spending points could become more varied over time as a season progresses to keep things fresh and interesting?

Also, perhaps something to interact with other than just the button could be added as an additional means of user engagement with the game; perhaps not to the extent that an incremental game connects intertwining features over time, but still substantial enough to encourage greater social interaction.

Whatever the theme for Season 4 ends up being, I know it will be great!

Edit: Also, maybe some system should be in place to discourage wasteful button presses, such as not being able to press twice in a row (either generally, or from the same team). It might help the game last a bit longer.

Thank you so much, Demigodrick! I really love these games. Anytime I see a new season announcement, I get excited and look forward to playing.

Sometimes, Lemmy can be very angry and political but these breaks from the tension make a big difference.

I made a lot of new friends across instances today!

I had lots of fun this season. Thank you!

(Including fun with the folks who were proposing a crow faction. That was hilarious, you guys are great!)

It plays sounds at presses, but I don’t think it plays sounds near time out does it? That would encourage participation I think. I know players can set their own timers, but I don’t think that’s a substitute.

ETA: also keeping the chat going for a couple minutes after the game ends would be cool I think.

This was great (again)! Thanks!

Very fun season as always, thank you! I didn’t realize I was such a chatterbox… CAW CAW!

Sad to see the button died overnight, but it was really fun again, despite me not knowing much about Star wars. Thank you for making this!

Couldn’t join the green faction this time because they were so far ahead, so I ended up joining the red team instead (and somehow even got elected as senator). Honestly didn’t know you could have multiple button presses at the same time, my extra senator press also locked the main button for some reason (maybe that was a bug?), but at least I got to press the button at some point!

I was still there to see the first crow facts, but it looks like I missed the cult being formed and crow reactions getting added and all that.

But yeah, everyone was nice as always, which made it great to be part of the game even when the button couldn’t be pressed. Looking forward to the next iteration, if there will be one :)

Thanks to everyone for being part of this. I had sooo much fun. All the lovely people in chat, no malicious trolls, just friendly banter. One common goal but with a competition twist. We need more of this in the fediverse.

My personal takeaways

• I should try Stegodon (Fediverse via ssh)
• spreading the game on Mastodon is hard, we would need one big account sharing the button to get more people from the toot crowd
• Corvids are cool. Ca-caw!, krah!, kar-kar! to the corvid cult / crowspace / cacaw.social. We’ll see us in !corvids@sopuli.xyz
• the adrenaline rush when pressing the button below 10 seconds is a hefty one
• the 30 minute button protection gives hyperfocused players like me a nice little break
• elections are fun. vote purple!
• more button, more fun

One part of me is sad that it’s over, I miss the corvid cult a little, another part of me is happy that I can hyperfocus on something else today :)

Thanks demigodrick for organizing this and the continuous development during the game. I’ve sent 5 moneys to dotzip

Gg. Stayed up to late, slacked of work…

Great fun again, thanks for much for running these. I joined the ever-underperforming red team this time, but the event ended before I woke up and launched my plan of using my stash of presses to swing the result.

I opened the frequency channel, but couldn’t figure out what was needed for the “Seven forms. Seven stars. One who fell beneath them remembers” + “Seven stars burning” clues. Seven forms is a reference to lightsabre fighting styles, I assume, but I didn’t get much further. Seven stars = a group of seven? The seven dark Jedi?

I’d be interested to see the stats on which platforms joined in… I noticed a few mastodon instances while playing but the ones in your post are all Lemmy/PieFed.

It was an amazing season, with a really cool theme! Loved the engagement this time around, as well as the new mechanics and stats!

I admit that I found the source code for the answers, as I dug a bit too much into the tech to find the clues, but (un)fortunately the last clue did not have its answer there.

The answers should be stored server-side only, naturally, but apart from that, as others mentioned, it should be hiding the answer attempts from the chat, like having a dedicated input field.

The puzzle was what engaged me the most honestly, ending up spending hours looking through the source code and trying different arbitrary URLs to see if I could cheat a bit (I refrained from trying anything that could affect other players). I would love to see even more puzzles, perhaps with multiple entry points with differing difficulties? I volunteer for engineering some for next time, if you feel like delegating some of the work to make this fun event!

Perhaps next time, it would be a cyberpunk theme? 🐦‍⬛🖲️

As always a great community game where the theme was nicely implemented.

For feedback I think separating the stats for available presses by “overall” and “of connected users” would be helpful to estimate if there are anyone left to press the button.
Also having a counter of own banked presses would be nice.

Thanks for making this happen, demigodrick, I had fun!

What were the solutions to the clues, btw? I never got the last one…
