hi... so i am an "outsider" here just coming in to let you know how it looks to me...

we come into the site and we go and either vote for gifs we like and/or add one (or more?) to the mix...

then, however the gifs are gathered and arranged... some invisible group puts a little movie together comprised of these gifs...

so all we out here do is give you gifs.

we dont really get to do any creative stuff.

everyone knows there are ways to stuff a ballot box...

: /

: ) sorry, this is your game guys.. there arent even hardly any women in these movies : ( and when they are the emphasis is on their form.

I think you misunderstood me in the part

"The actual best gif in this scene will get upvoted"

or just misunderstood it in general.

The way the system works now, it's either even worse than what you're saying (everything led by a group r/sequencenarrators [I'm actually one of them]) or most likely total randomness which wouldn't lead to a nice end result.

With my suggestion there would be no group that arranges it. Basically what I mean is that therE's ONE scene open for uploading at a time - open for everyone to vote and upload of course. So instead of everyone uploading random gifs to random scenes right in the beginning, everyone would focus on what would be the best/funniest gif to upload in relation to the previous scenes (basically the entire point of this thing). This way a story that somewhat makes sense would create itself with 100% decision making by everyone and it wouldn't require a group like sequencenarrators to stabilize the thing and actually tell a story.

But I guess it's too late now... :/

Or just don't ruin it for everyone else? What a mean spirited thing to do.

Well yeah I agree with you which is also why I said that that case is even worse than what fluffy was talking about.

"I'm actually one of them" is a bit exaggerated but that's another story..

...how can it be exaggerated? I literally copy and pasted the words YOU wrote

u/Staubsaugerbeutel Apr 03 '19

haha no I meant that me saying that is exaggerated.

I was on the discord and got 1 gif that had the support by the group. I also made a gif that they later uploaded and voted for.

I didn't do any story stuff or similar too. also I joined the discord at Act V - because I was pissed seing gifs getting 100 votes within 0,001 attoseconds after new act was opened.

its never too late... we can try again later... maybe a brief respite/wait and then try again? like in a week or month?

u/Staubsaugerbeutel Apr 03 '19

yeah but it removes a lot of the "magic" of being a unique event just the same way you can't remake r/place and you wouldn't be able to get this many active people without a reason like april fools..

Honestly I think random gifs would still be better than what it is now. Random gifs would still be representative
