TNG infamously had an episode about an asshole captain who, among other things, made arbitrary and annoying changes to the scheduling system. Did you feel the same way about it then? It just seems to me that bureaucratic and management difficulties are a totally plausible problem to deal with in starfleet.

This is good advice but I will add that putting a timer on player’s turns is also itself a bit of a problem…it comes off as infantalizing.

People razz nasa about the tampons but then if you ask them what a reasonable number is they won’t give you a number

That’s not really how bots work. It would have to be coded to actually read and reply to your responses

I disagree with everything besides #1. I think this may actually be too dated to be helpful.

By our standards it’s just a regular bathtub

Anyone gone back to school for an advanced degree after working in the field for a long time? What was your experience like?

The thought entered my mind to go back to school and get a Masters or something. I have 14 years in the field already but my bachelor’s was unrelated. Anyone else done something similar and have any input?

Janeway would ABSOLUTELY release weaponized smallpox to get coffee.

Yeah we made a machine that burns a million miles of rainforest and drains a lake of drinking water every time you use it, and we’re forcing everyone to use it, but you’re the wasteful one for saying slightly more to it.

Rookie mistake.

“Computer, Anime Waifus, Hot.”

Ooh, this looks neat. I don’t think I’d use it for spurious notes but it might be a good replacement place to do the making-it-good part

You can use Google Forms to get the RSVP functionality you’re looking for. And maybe a dedicated Discord channel with suitable posting restrictions so it’s JUST DMs posting such forms? Or you could even have them DM you their pitches and you post them, such that you can make the channel so only you can post. I also like using this tool for scheduling: https://www.when2meet.com/

You need a method to quick jot stuff down in the moment. I use google keep for those thoughts/ideas. It’s on my phone, very low friction always to just pull it out and get something out of my head. Make it good later, just use your notes app (or an actual notepad if you’re oldschool) to get it out of your head so you can think of other stuff without worrying about losing it.

Sadly it’s not that there was “so much” it was that it was “so gay.” Berman cracked down hard on that, so there’s only hints left.

You mean y’all have adventuring parties that aren’t composed entirely of weird lil guys?

A friend’s MSP got wiped off the map by this, we think. Not just exploited in the wild but, apparently, easy enough that random vandal kiddies are playing with it
