      @Snackness Please. Yes. All the chocolate.

      @sao In my current position, I set up customized workflows for (large corporate scientific research) clients. Essentially, there is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for each sub-task their scientists do in order to conduct their experiments/analyses in a repeatable fashion. I arrange pieces of software that help them keep track of what options are allowed per the SOP relating to the step of the process they’re currently on.

      Basically, a workflow as I understand it is a big decision tree so that work (science) can be done consistently and repeatably by different humans.

      This is understandable when one is doing science at a large lab (or even a small one, if one is publishing it). I cannot think of any possible reason to have a formal workflow when playing pretendy fun-time games. One might want to be consistent but there’s very little need for repeatability nor is it likely anyone will get audited or investigated over any of this (one hopes!).

        @sao We tabled it, we put a pin in it, I do think it’s time to circle back and ideate.

          Structure and process is great and helpful but in my experience in something as casual as MU staffing, I think flexibility is just more valuable than a really structured development workflow.

          idk it doesn’t necessarily seem that useful to talk about since the very obvious Way Too Little and Way Too Much are what is going to come to mind in any discussion.

            ie, having a life.

            not just specific to this but lol can we stop using this as something to bludgeon one another with

            everyone has a life

            unless you are not alive

            even then you have an afterlife!!

                    double post because my words are that important.

                    no i will not be apologizing for my joke implying theres no brains here.

                    in fact, i think you guys owe ME an apology for not liking and/or laughing at my post appropriately.

                                What if you end up hating both Agile and Waterfall because you have the same class of dysfunctional goblins infesting management who fail to effectively implement either?

                                Oh wait I thought this was the RL Peeves thread.

                                I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                                I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                                I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                                    When someone asks for volunteers, and so you volunteer. But then they completely ignore your messenger, and don’t even bother with a token ‘sorry, no room for you’ response. So you’re left hanging until you see the scene they needed volunteers for begin.

                                        Why do people say they want to RP with me and then…not RP with me? This is mainly rhetorical but also, is it me? It’s okay if it’s me, I’d just like to know.

                                          I want to rp with you. But I won’t because my brain doesn’t have enough cells to rp these days.

                                            @Snackness I do this a lot to everyone and it’s not a them thing but a me thing.

                                            Me: Hey wanna grab a scene sometime? I want to rp with you!
                                            Them: yeah!

                                            3 days later
                                            Me: oh that person never asked me to rp, they were probably being nice, oh maybe that’s the brain weasels and i should just ask them, but they know I want to rp so why aren’t they asking me?
                                            3 more days later:
                                            Me: it’s too late to ask now and if they wanted to scene with me they would’ve asked, right? right.

                                            And then it’s 3 weeks and I haven’t logged into the game and my anxiety is on HIGH ALERT and i’ll just play My Time at Sandrock because that seems really easier than asking people to play with me.

                                            ❤ sorry if I’m part of the problem, ilu
