As we go along in our merry way, we'll be seeing a number of upgrades to the site, refining it, improving it, increasing it's goodness and making it better! Insane54 brings us a new batch of updates this week, with a few more planned on the way*. And you know what? He did all of this with the flu! What's your excuse?!-Gamertags are now automagically grabbed from your profile when you create a game!
-Gamertag input removed, but still there on Edit
-"Staff" prefix added to games
-If you edit your game, you can add a prefix
-Prefixes now show in the Games sidebar
-Games with a stream now display "STREAMING" in the Games sidebar
And after that, he did some more!
-added "Gold Host" (should this have a better name? ideas?) secondary usergroup
-added automatic usergroup promotion: 25+ positive ratings adds you to the Gold Host group
-when a Gold Host has an event in the Games sidebar, it will have some kind of visual representation (right now it says "GOLD HOST" in bold, gold letters)
As you skimmed/read that list, you may have noticed something. "Gold Host? What's a Gold Host?" Well I'm about to get to that, you little bitch, don't interrupt. Fuckin'... Okay! So a Gold Host is simply someone who is given a sweet, shiny Gold thread title if they reach 25 likes as a lobby host. What are the rewards?If any one of you become the first Gold Host, then you'll become a veritable celebrity among the community. New members will gaze upon your glowing lobby and think to themselves, "What is this magnificent creature, blessing us with a chance to play with them?" And you shall be that magnificent creature. You'll be rewarded with Solid Gold lobbies, thread titles, and hordes of adoring women. So hop to it, and be the first to reap the glory, which only the first may reap.
Thanks for reading! Or, at least, skimming the bullet points. As a reward, I leave you this little teaser:
I also have a thought that *may* lead to alerts when events begin/end. We'll see!
Which, it seems to me, will make it a hell of a lot easier to reach that golden reward...!
*All of these changes are, in themselves, subject to change. So I apologize for any lack of consistency!
