Hey, would it be possible to make the Bowlbot announce we need atleast 1 more and extend the activation time by, say, 2 minutes?

This'd cut away some of those annoying events where the round almost happened and I for sure would sometimes have activated if I knew it only needed one more.


Do you think this would be a good thing (or possible)?

An announcement on the gamefinder page (in red?) might help.

Does it make an announcement in #Fumbbl?

I think it only announces in #FumbblBlackbox, but I think blackbox announcements in IRC should be limited to those subcribing them by being in that channel.

Activation link and that announcement in gamefinder page could be nice.

Always miss by a few seconds an extension of a few mins would help alot.

It would be nice to be able to get a bot to message me when it's time to activate.

It doesn't happen often but I've been sitting at my computer doing something else while waiting for the time and missed it because I didn't notice (yeah I could set an alarm myself but how much fun is that? Razz).

I think a extra 5 minutes would be good when there aren't enough coaches.

yeah but if the message would come in the fumbbl main channel it would give the box an other chance for the round

What I think would help, would be for the wait time to drop if there wasn't enough coaches the previous round. Coaches seem to get frustrated with waiting another 30 minutes, and leave. So this could alleviate the problem a bit.

Just a notice in general chat to activate and/or a counter to let people know how many are activated in gamefinder and chat channels would be handy.

An alternative might be to have it trigger every 15 minutes if there was a failed activation -I've often had games finish around the 70minute mark when I've had time for another.
