First of all, just want to preface ALLLLL of this by saying I appreciate everything the mods did to keep this game running smoothly and making it fun. This is just some feedback that I noticed as a player that I think would have made things a little more enjoyable/comfortable for me.
On July 26th, Team Tower was informed that a minor was enrolled in battleship and that's why Soulstoned focused on writing more for Team Dungeon b/c of the loss of member. (https://discord.com/channels/727095013548490772/1122369855513960468/1133785575569235979)
I feel like this was handled WAYYYY too casually considering how heavy some of the tags are for this event.
There should have been an all-server @/everyone ping in #rules-and-announcements letting everyone know of this infraction and to reveal the user's name before anyone gifted something inappropriate to them. In fact, we did not even know the minor's username until 4 days later when someone (not a mod) mentioned it in general (https://discord.com/channels/727095013548490772/727095013548490775/1135407682505941082).
A few of the mods have said that there will be a survey at the beginning of sign-up next year, and I hope that Battleship will move towards the same procedure as SeasonsOfDrabbles (https://seasonsofdrabbles.dreamwidth.org/28651.html) who decided this year to explicitly request for 18+ participants only in their sign-ups moving forward.
I feel like this needs to be made more clear, more frequently, for the minors who try to enter the event but also for the writers who are straight up at points writing rape/non-con and other smutty fics and not even knowing who some of their recipients are.
I'm not an artist, but I thought that azurrys argument on how to scale point distribution better for art submissions made a lot of sense, and I agreed with their suggestion here: https://discord.com/channels/727095013548490772/727095013548490775/1134867925375922197
The funnest mechanic was definitely the EITHER OR for squares, it made it really entertaining figuring out ways to double tap on a square by combining the two tags.
