Subject: Fellowships

Modified by pauloaguia (7. February 2008, 12:08:30)

I would like...

a place where I can see a list of my fellowship's BKR at all games, and the standing position as well without having to set some setting that is related to the main page and whose side effect is activating this information in fellowships as well - I like to keep my main page clean

that the fellowship's information wasn't all cluttered in one page. We have so many pages with severall tabs already, why not the fellowship page too? (I find that Waiting Fellowship Games tab rather silly all alone by itself when there is so much information that should be in its own tab as well)

to be able to create a fellowship tournament without having to look for a link for it in the teams section. Most tournaments are created with more than one game type anyway - why keep it in the teams? Why not in the tournaments section, bellow? If I'm grabbing stats from past tournaments and want to create the next month's tournament why do I need to scroll the page to a more or less unrelated area?

to have checkboxes by the list of challenges from other fellowships so that I could easilly accept / reject a batch of them

the hability to define a fellowship as an ALL GAME fellowship, so that when new games are created, the teams are automatically created as well

a quick overview chart so that I'd know at a glance what fellowshi members are in what teams and I knew what teams I'm not yet registered with; or what teams need more players; or how many games a certain player has played by a specific team so I'd know not to always call the same ones over and over; or...

for a BigBoss to know how many members a global fellowship message was sent to or how many have that option disabled even before sending such a message. In some fellowships, many players have them disabled so the BigBoss will think he's alerting many people for something when in fact he's just talking to himself.

Ok, I think that's enough already (for now, at least). I know I'll never get to see them all implemented but I'd really like to see some of them (especially the ones I've already asked about in the past).

Subject: Re: Fellowships

pauloaguia: Here are my thoughts on your suggestions:

1. I agree. I have turned off this information a long time ago, and always forget that the fellowships have this. A "Statistics" tab in the fellowship would be a good place to put this (and other things mentioned below)

2. Well I first agree since many pages do have a lot, but then I got to thinking what can be moved to different tabs. Finished & running tournaments (leaving open tournaments on main page). Same with challenges maybe.

3. It would be nice if when you click the "create tournament" instead of the game which was up being the only option to choose from from the drop down - that all fellowships games were listed would be nice. When I create site-wide tournaments, it is nice because I can create a tournament, hit the back button, change the important information and submit again. In fellowship, I have to go all the way back to the begining to start a new tournament.

4. This would be hard - since you have to pick your players who will play in each challenge - to have a checkbox to select them all - you still would need to go through each one to select your players - so I would not think this would be much of a time saver.

5. I agree - and in the "Fellowship list" which lists all the fellowship, instead of the long list of games that each fellowship offeres, it can be replaced by "All games"

6. A good thing for the Statistics tab

7. A good thing for the Statistics tab - but would also like to remind BIG BOSSes to also put the information on their discussion boards. I turned this option off on many of my fellowships because the BIG BOSSes were writing a message on the board, then sending the same thing out. I myself read all the discussion boards, so I don't need to read a message twice so I turned the all-fellowship messages off. So as a reminder to BIG BOSSes, to get to someone like me - make sure you also write in your fellowship.
