Workshop Commenting Event

  • August 9, 2017

    Yeah, I've been literally running around all day preparing for my move. Sorry I missed this Deeb. I'll answer anyway though. 

    Two things stand out as my favorite workshop thing that isn't mine. And it's actually more of a mass posting phenomena.

    The Fallout event based on the Comic book heroes. The WiP that came out of that event was something else. Karver's Tesla build and others. It's like all the major FO players came out for that event and posted in the Workshop and the place became a hailstorm of mass posting. So much that I couldn't keep up. It was great. 

    For Skyrim, my favorite workshop stuff was the Mini build event. Again another instance where the workshop just had a massive amount of postings from event participants. Because it was an event that only took two weeks, we were an intense little bunch too, constant updates. A really cool experience. 

    For me personally? You all will be surprised. The Agents of Oegnithr, my mini build from that Event i mentioned earlier. I still can't believe I cranked that out in two weeks and I have the Workshop to thank for it. Was a different sort of workshop experience from the Outsider, more focused. Also part of it was that I was with others who were in the same boat.

    Nah, sorry if it came across as if I were complaining or anything guys, it was just me thinking of a way to make all the conversations a bit more visible, I was more worried that people were down for them but just weren't running into them while they were stored here rather than being out in the open. Relycs, afraid that's not possible, I'm pretty firm in trying to make sure that I only have one feature on the front page at a time because I've always hosted more than one group and if I got a bit carried away it might you know, push down other great content or otherwise seem like I'm flooding the features.

    I think I ended up missing out on the Mini Build Event...or at least I can't for the life of me remember what I posted for it but there wasa defiinitely some really great stuff coming out of it. And the Fallout Comic Books Event was (in my opinion) one of the best events that the Fallout CB has run, and one that I really wanted to join in on. I get your interest in those sort of events where we get a tonne of people coming in here and posting their WiP's for the Event, it's always great to see it when it happens.

    The Agents of Oegnithr, well...I have to be honest there Liss, I wish I'd spent more time following it while it was in the Workshop, I'm usually pretty good at keeping up with your WiP's but I think I pretty much missed that one (I was there early on but, ah...missed the end) but yeah that was a remarkbly awesome build to pump out that quickly.

    Is this still going on DB? Hell with the yes or no, I'm biting.

    There have been so many great projects that have passed through the Workshop first, and trying to remember even a few of them has been difficult. I've been into my memory crypt and determined that my favourite piece of content produced there was:

    By Golds. That build was an absolute joy to watch unfold and discuss. For reasons. None of which have to do with canon erotica, naturally. It was one of the few pieces I followed and commented on religiously as  I normally keep my trap shut and watch from a respectful distance lest I say the wrong thing and ruin the creative process. Also, the blog starring The Deceiver, Feyne, was a lot of fun.

    As for me, I kinda want to plead the fifth there. I am Vancian in creativity, tend to cast and forget. I think possibly the time when we did the Collaborative Profile on Ulfric Stormcloak stands out most. Because I hate that guy.

    Heh, if people want to comment I'm not going to stop em and honestly I don't think I officially ended it so, yeah your good Phil. 

    Urgh, I got to be honest you guys rminding me of content that I... haven't forgotten but forgot that I knew about is really bringing back a lot of memories. The Deciever was an awesome piece of work wasn't it, that was from the...it was an Event build wasn't it? Nope Contest build, that's right I remember that it was originally in before the Contest started but Goldie turned it into a Contest build once it was announced. 

    Was that the uhh... Lore Article (I know it had a name but I can't remember what it was) for Ulfric? Sorry Phil, gotta be honest I'm drawing a blank here which is so bloody rare for me. Oh wait no right, yeah I'm on track, I just forgot it was in the Workshop for a bit (then I remember that there was a Success Story written about it). Yep all good, that was definitely a really good read, I think it was one of the articles that got me to write my own when it came around to it (that and the Red Wives of Dagon Article). Right, I keep my record intact for remembering something about everything that was posted that someone else mentioned, all is good :D

    You got me wrong, it's about the "News" section on the main site. Isn't it made for just that? News? Because as of now, it's way too empty to justify it's existence.
    Seriously, why is it there if you're not even allowed to announce news? :)

    Well I'd hardly call any of this news, but it's more meant for big things as far as I'm concerned (things like a new Admin), it's more site news rather than a group news section. Well that's what I thought, haven't honestly asked and still, I probably wouldn't want to because of the sheer rate of these things. I don't like (personally) featuring a tonne of content through the main page in any form (other than the Activity Feed) because I feel like I'd detract from other groups and it's been something I've been very critical of in the past. 

    Honestly, either way it really isn't an issue here. I'm perfectly fine with the amount of attention this is getting, I mean, at the moment plenty of people have seen it and everyone who isn't in here is either too busy (fair enough) or not interested (also fair enough).

    Couldn't there  just be some lines of text that just list some of the newest things going on? If people read 'Story Event' or whatever and are interested in it, they're going to click, even if there isn't that much information.

  • August 10, 2017

    That's the point of the features... they're literally just that. 

  • August 10, 2017

    Ah, so we've had some changes in the top three lately.

    Phil's managed to catch up and nabbed himself that Number One spot with 56 points and Relycs is coming up behind him with 46 points. Next up is Lissette at 38 points in third place but Zonnonn's managed to catch up to 34 points and is definitely in the running. Then you've got Sotek and I competing at our own rate and I've managed to keep hold of the lead for at least a day or two now but I've fallen behind in my lead with the score being 178 to 175. Ah well, that'll change soon enough (I'm hitting 200 by the weekend)

    You may want to have another look, I'm not exactly posting original content here. I also plan to make matters worse by using the WS to house a few blogs and an RP profile that got sliced. I don't mind if none of these things count ;)
