Need another bingo hit?

Hi, my name is Zhie and I'm addicted to the bingo game.

In case anyone else needs an afterparty...

Okay, thanks for sharing that. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that you can't or shouldn't do it! All I'm saying is, please just hang on a sec until I've had a chance to talk about this with Indy and make sure everyone is on the same page.

There are usually scattered posts to the b2mem comm going into April and even later, as people continue finishing up their stuff, and that's totally fine! Expected and encouraged, even. Calling a new set of bingo numbers seems like it might be a little more than that, and I just want to make sure we're . . . prepared, I guess? And that anyone tagging has a clear idea of what should be done.

This was not meant to be some big complicated thing that caused all of y'all more things to do or discuss, it was just supposed to keep the camaraderie going and people making things.

I'll be surprised if it goes beyond me, a half dozen people, and a literate squirrel with a desire to write more ent stories for the world, which they hide in little holes in the ground like forgotten acorns. (The squirrel is questionable - he still needs to do his taxes, so he might not take part.)

Zhie, I'm not trying to stop fun or camaraderie. Running (and tagging) the b2mem comm involves a lot more work behind the scenes than most participants are aware of. That work is largely invisible, and it's meant to be, so that participants can have fun without worrying about any of that. By running this on the b2mem comm, whether you realize it or not, your project is asking for what could potentially be a large commitment of time from other people, and without giving us the usual planning lead time to work out scheduling. Especially when participants, say, make posts that need 28 separate tags. ;)

I am simply trying to make sure those resources are available before anyone jumps in. It's not because I hate fun, it's because tagging is done by real live human beings who need a break sometimes. :)

To reiterate, I am not asking for anything. It was suggested to me by one of the mods that the comm could be used for posting. I am well aware of how much work goes into things like this, and while I really do appreciate what you and the rest of the mods do, I do not appreciate comments that make it seem like I am requesting a commitment when the idea was brought to me, not the other way around. I will address the rest in private to you. Rest assured - I will not be encouraging anyone who does after dark, if it even happens now, to go anywhere near the official comm with their works.
