OKies I sent off a message to WYK the mod on /r/rDotA2 to see if he can go about posting it for more exposure, plus give all the artists who are going to participate in the AmA their own custom flare to be easily spotted!
So make sure you fill our your /u/usernames in the doc!
I also had to reduce the number of links each person can have to three, username, workshop, social media or folio as when I asked about the new reddit mod behavior on self promotion resulting in many shadow bans, he said better keep links to a minimum.
There is about 36 people participating in this tomorrow!
Also, if you put anything in this format "/u/spudnikle", Reddit automatically creates a link to that user, given that it exists. That's why I initially formatted it like this
**Spudnik /u/spudnikle**
which results in
which accounts for people who might not have gotten their actual online alias as a username on reddit.
result in the same, namely a link to your reddit account. The "**" add boldness so the location doesn't matter. My argument was that since people may have different reddit usernames than their usual (in my case, Spudnik was taken, so I had to do Spudnikle), using the formatting I outlined above, it's easy to connect those back together again by having the 'online alias' and the reddit username right next to each other.
You all might want to change your reddit settings to hide your view/like/dislike history while you're at it. In case you've been looking at any subreddits or things you might not want other people seeing...
The AMA is supposed to go live in 30 mins but I am not sure if I should. Anuxi left me a message saying she might not be here at the time and I am not sure how many of you are here right now.
Hold on or are there enough of you active to go live with the AMA?
There was a massive delay as some peoples img links didnt work, so I grabbed the steam ones, then we were over the character limit by 1 k so I puu.shed a bunch of the art to make it fit. Sorry it took so long. Reddit formatting woes!
ugh, why do i have to wait 7 min between answers
Edit: I guess I suck at reddit
It's most likely because you have a new account. The newly made ones generally have a time restriction between posts. This is done to avoid bot spam by Reddit.
Well have fun with the AMA guys. Great job with the Workshop.

Thanks Wyk! And Thanks Anuxi for setting all this up! Much appreciated! :thumbup:

HYPE.
@Zip I can think of a few likely culprits :P
I did do a test preview on reddit, cleaned up some links and broken things (links need a http:// at the front to work properly with formatting)
OKay so no custom flare, but we can get tags for now. Which I think is more than I ever expected

I think it goes up in like 5 hours.

your suggestion is **name /u/name**
the one when I added mine was [**name**](/u/name)
and there's also **[name](/u/name)**
I hope these all work
edit: oh goddamnit just saw Anuxi's post now lol, can't edit it, but if anyone can, please update all the names that aren't... thx!
and
[**name**](/u/name)

I was told I need more reddit karma, made my account just for this :poly136:
I don't use my reddit account that much, guess it's the reason

--edit-- Thanks so much for organising this btw, Anuxi. And thanks Wyk for making it happen! It's a ton of fun so far.

It's going all night long baby!
Sexymunyi might be blunt, but he's not in the wrong, and has the right to be a tad bit upset.
Cool, gonna re-visit the thread now
