Yeah, I think we covered everything we needed to talk about! I've thought for a split second about voting Alex, but I don't think he'll get enough votes to be voted out, plus I already told my chat I was voting for Anne. I don't think they'd notice if I switched, but at the same time if they did find out somehow that'll be pretty bad for me considering half my chat is in the Rich Chat, lol.
I've figured out a solution to that, and it doesn't involve tinkering the code that much. I figure we likely won't need to tell each other to make chats less than 3, so if the first sentence we write ends in an exclamation point and the post is 3 or more sentences then that means we're talking about chats -- 2 or less means we're talking about the vote. If the group has the code for ourselves (likely best in the first sentence), then that means we're telling each other what chat we're going to bid for, but if the group has the group for the other player, that means we're suggesting what the other player should bid on. If for some reason we
do need to communicate in groups of 2, we'll end both sentences with an exclamation point. I've added several examples of this plus some of the previous versions of the code for comparison so we don't get confused.
Example 1:
POST:I’m a pig who oinks! I like to roll in mud. I also love food!
TRANSLATION:I'm bidding on a chat with me, Rapunzel (21) and Pixar (16). Note that the exclamation point on the last sentence doesn't mean anything. I'll mostly use periods to keep it simple, but just for future use only the punctuation of the first sentence is important -- it doesn't matter what punctuation the other sentences are.
Example 2:
POST:I’m a pig who oinks. I like to roll in mud. I also love food!
TRANSLATION:I'm currently in a chat with Rapunzel (21) and Pixar (16). Since the first sentence ends with a period, that means I'm talking about which group I'm currently in, rather then which group I'm going to bid on / will be in for the future (like with the first example).
Example 3:
POST:You are a mighty mouse! You wield a sword. You also love cheese.
TRANSLATION:I think you should bid on a chat with yourself, Edward (17) and Queen of Hearts (20).
Example 4:
POST:I'm a pig who oinks! I like to roll in mud!
TRANSLATION:I'm bidding on a chat with me and Rapunzel (21).
Example 5:
POST:I like to roll in mud! I also love food.
TRANSLATION:Do you want to vote out Rapunzel (21)? She's targeting me (%5 == 1 from the additions I made a few rounds ago).
Example 6:
POST:I like to roll in mud.
TRANSLATION:My group is voting out Rapunzel (21).
I hope that's easy enough to understand. In a general sense, more than two sentences means we're talking about groups and one/two sentences means we're talking about the vote. If the first sentence ends in a period, we're talking about either where are group's voting or which group we're in, and if it ends in an exclamation point, we're talking about what we want each other to vote or what groups we want ourselves or each other to be in. Also, after this post I'm going to re-post some of the PMs I sent you during our last chat in case you forgot some of the rules, while editing out the parts that aren't relevant anymore. Good night, and I hope we get to talk again soon!
