[11:11.32] <Eleeleth> Ele: what do you expect the turnaround time to be from competition close to implemented feature

[11:12.29] <Ele> that'd depend on the idea

[11:13.13] <Ele> the idea would  be worked towards

[11:13.22] <Ele> so it doesn't happen 5 yaers later

[11:13.34] <Ele> but the time would depend on what it takes to be implemented

[11:14.00] <Pimp> Ele what are you thinking of like rules or features

[11:14.14] <Ele> not really thinking rules

[11:14.28] <Pimp> Idk if anyone still codes shit for this game

[11:14.38] <Ele> there's plenty of site devs right now

[11:14.51] <Ele> and I dunno about game devs

[11:15.08] <Eleeleth> Plenty of site devs doesn't mean plenty of time :v

[11:15.22] <Ele> Yeah OK

[11:15.44] <Ele> but if the site devs can't work towards one idea that's really good

[11:15.48] <Ele> then that's just a bit slack

[11:16.53] <Pimp> What's the difference between your idea I some just making a suggestion thread? Why even guarantee that said idea will be added

[11:17.10] <Ele> that's up to the upper staff

[11:17.22] <Ele> that's why I asked for them to give their thoughts

[11:17.34] <Ele> their sanction

[11:18.05] <Ele> and pimp, it's a crowdsourcing event with prizes

[11:18.18] <Ele> it attracts ideas

[11:18.25] <Ele> gives people incentive to make and share them

[11:18.47] * Yoyo ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout)

[11:19.02] <Ele> and hopefully some guy with a really good idea is incentivised to give their's

[11:19.36] <Ele> so you give people a good incentive, such as 

[11:19.43] <Ele> the guarantee that it'll be implemented

[11:19.59] <Pimp> I was hiding this ground breaking Idea to change tb forever I'm not gonna give it out for free but if I get a prize I might

[11:20.28] <Ele> gives people that haven't put their thought into something like this 

[11:20.40] <Ele> the motivation to think about it

[11:20.57] <Ele> plenty of smart people out there that don't go on the S&I board

[11:21.08] <Eleeleth> Ele: the idea is fine until you guarantee implementation. That's when it goes from fine to bad

[11:21.36] <Ele> the event doesn't work if it doesn't actually accomplish anything

[11:21.56] <Ele> it can be added to a queue

[11:22.13] <Ele>  amongst other things site devs are already working on

[11:22.44] <Eleeleth> Ele: you'd be lucky to see the idea implemented after 2-3 years, then

[11:22.57] <Ele> then maybe it gets moved to a higher place in the queue

[11:23.35] <Eleeleth> Depending on the complexity you're still looking at a really long time unless you've got several thousand dollars to sponsor a feature

[11:24.05] <Ele> So long as it doesn't take over 2 years to get implemented

[11:24.27] <Ele> and devs give the community updates on their progress with their idea

[11:24.37] <Ele> I think people would be fine to wait
