Seems like we have to convince Jim once more of the advantages Discord has.

He's doing all the hard work. I will just follow our esteemed leader down whatever misguided path he takes us.

As you know, I LIKE Discord and use it regularly now.

I received strong feedback, however, from a number of players that their preferred method was e-mail.

It was also the only method that got consistent results the last time, though, in fairness, Discord was not then in play...

Everyone's a comedian...

[Advocator (Scott)]

I was unaware there was a poll on Discord vs. Email vs. Carrier Pigeon. Had I known, I would have strongly pushed for Discord as I think it's a great format for keeping things organized and in a manner that I can more easily contemplate on my phone while eating lunch.

[Cyrano]

I know folks like it and I'm well used to it.

For a live KS (1824, par example), I'd definitely use it.

Clear preference amongst those who played in the previous for e-mail, though...some wanting nothing to do with Discord...or at least having nothing to do with it at present and not particularly wanting to try.

That's interesting. I find Discord much easier to use for Kriegsspiel than e-mail.

I do both, and I find it horribly unwieldy to extract information from an e-mail quickly and precisely, if it is not superbly layouted, while cross-referencing back and forth with my map or TTS or whatever.

Plus all the options with channel management and teams and roles and whatnot.

Huh, wondering why exactly people find e-mail more convenient.

...

Probably because it's something hey know... and maybe some of they don't want to learn anything new.

[Advocator (Scott)]

And we also used email instead of Discord. And we liked it!

[GameGabster]

Huh, wondering why exactly people find e-mail more convenient.

Because I check it more often.

[GROGnadsUSA]

"EMAIL"?!? Why, We had JUST "Air Mail" and "1st Class", or "Magazine Class"-(forgot WHAT they called that), "CandyGrams", "Strip-O-Grams", "PAY to PLAY-by-mail"-('Starweb', etc.), and whatever! "Do Do Do Do Do Do Do!  Playing 'Games' in the U.S.A. Somebody get ME a handful of 'Cheetos'! ...and a 'Cheeseburger'!"

Ok Scott, I LOLed

[Advocator (Scott)]

I may not post often, but when I do, I aim to amuse.

[Barthheart]

BTW Adam Sandler movies were never funny. Just sayin.
