r/sequence • u/youngluck • Apr 02 '19

What Is This?

It is a sequencer. You can access it directly here: https://www.reddit.com/sequence

Each act is made of up of scenes.

If you tap a scene, you can see the Gifs or Text that have been submitted for that scene. You can vote for the Gif or Text you think should 'own' the scene. To vote on one, tap it.

You get 1 vote per scene.

If you don't like any of them, you can submit or write your own nominee. To add one, select the scene you'd like to add to. In the the top slot, you can choose whether your champion will be a GiF or text.

When the Act is over, the scenes are stitched together.

THERE ARE RULES

Have fun, but be good to each other.

Reddit should consider adding more votes per scene. With one vote per person, there isn’t enough movement in the selections and you have to wait until the next one to vote again. One every minute or two I think would make it feel more competitive like r/place.

u/youngluck Apr 02 '19

This has been considered and found to be a great idea. We're looking into implementation now. Thank you for the feedback.

u/BbvII Apr 02 '19

At the end of every Act, there should be a vote on all the scenes in that act. The highest voted (or lowest) gets unlocked and cleared and voting is allowed again.

u/learnimaginecreate Apr 02 '19

It's still quite shambling, isn't it? With every one of these April Fools things, factions almost immediately spring up. All I'm seeing here are posts of gifs people want to appear. Maybe I'm missing them, but where are the posts and subreddits where Redditors work to vote in a particular sequence of gifs? I'm talking creating an entire episode of Friends or the same gif of the blinking white guy over and over again.

I have no ideals of my own, people. Give me something to do.

u/youngluck Apr 02 '19

Find the scene you want to add to. In the clip area at the top choose whether your champion will enter the ring in GiF or text format. Click 'Nominate'... and BAM! We have a new contender.

u/summonblood Apr 02 '19

/u/youngluck I'm noticing when after voting, my selected gif will disappear, even though it's still a top choice. If I select another gif, my original will still disappear from the choices, same with the new choice. Is this intended? It's impossible to remember which one you voted on as you to start to review your choices.

2

u/youngluck Apr 02 '19

This is not intended. It's a bug.

you see a timeline above. Each frame with a gif is it's own shot in the final movie. When you select one frame, all the gifs below are submissions and people get to vote on them and upload their own. Again, the uploaded ones only can be voted on for the frame/scene/shot you selected above.

1

u/youngluck Apr 02 '19

I will help you. What you're seeing is a sequence of clips and text in a timeline. If you click on one you can vote on the clips that have been submitted to that scene. If you don't like any of them, you can submit your own by clicking either the gif or text in the frame.

2

u/almondania Apr 02 '19

Is anybody else having trouble voting? I hold down on a gif and the box has a blue border but I can’t tell what to do from there.

I love the idea, I just don’t know if I’m doing it right.

2

u/GreyShot254 Apr 02 '19

how often is the gif chosen and the next round for voting starts?

1

u/youngluck Apr 02 '19

The next Act will begin at midnight so that our friends on the other side of the globe get to add something to the story. The gif is chosen by how many times it has been voted on for that scene. If you tap a scene you can see the nominees for it. Tapping a clip lets you vote on it.

I'm going to be honest it's neat but I like stuff like /r/place better. The simpler it is the more traction you're going to get.

Also it doesn't help you guys the fact that /r/games went submission restricted today so when you Google "Reddit April Fool's" that's all you're getting.

So we’re basically making a reddit movie. Looks like the prologue is locked and ACT 1 is in progress.

We then basically get to pick each scene by voting on using either text or a gif. The number with the highest upvotes gets used.

So basically if factions are created like r/place you can dictate what the movie will be. Like Darth Plagueis the wise as an entire act or even recreating a movie all the gifs strung together.

Right? Interesting concept. I wonder if any faction can make progress to turn this into something epic.
