emily schedule #57

Open Ranfir opened 4 years ago

Emily should schedule for when the player base is actually active. And she should round her times to the nearest quarter hour.

Cool. Craft me an activity metric please? :D

Ranfir commented 4 years ago

How about weeknights 5p-12a EST? And weekends 9a-12a EST?

[Insert obligatory trolling about a US-centric worldview here/]

But seriously

Is your proposal that forcing her times to be within US-evening-times would be good, or are you actually suggesting she does something data-driven in terms of login data, or something else?

Ranfir commented 4 years ago

I think US evening times would be good for the current player base. If we manage to get any of our Swedish or Singaporean players back, then we can change it.

I don't expect we will ever be automatically updating the times based on login data. But a visualization of the login data might be nice to have for the website.

I personally liked the rotating quest times. It rewarded incessant activity and for those who were not on all the time it created a kind of balance between live quests and emily quests.
