It would be nice if my RPNation didn't keep popping up notices that make me think "Oh, one of my games has a game reply!" only to find out "Nope, it's just more chatter."

I would say same, but I also hate when I don't receive OOC notifications and end up losing the whole chat because of it.

Tbh. And sometimes I don't even get notifications.

You can unfollow threads you know.

And you can not use Discord, I guess.
Either way, someone tag me if we do get a Discord. Otherwise, I'm following KnightofNight's suggestion and unfollowing for the sake of my sanity.

You weren't really helping, though. And technically they just told you what you were telling them. If you don't want to use discord, then don't use discord.

And I appreciated the suggestion enough to follow it. 
Thank you!
In my eyes, we're in that tough spot where one of us is going to have to deal with OOC in a way they don't want to. I guess we'll see which direction the game host wants to go, since I imagine they'll be the swing vote. In the meantime, no hard feelings from me or meant from me.

They seemed to not know you could do that though? Plus someone choosing to remove themself from ooc chatter is different than someone being forced out of ooc chatter due to work related issues.

Oh so tone issues caused by text chat? It's all cool then.

Yeah, everyone is going to start in New York. And from there, we'll work around the world.

I'd prefer if we didn't, plus not everyone has had a chance to voice their opinion.If y'all want it, I'll make it. That simple my fam'

It looked like the majority wanted it but we could wait for everyone else to give their opinion.

I-I mean... I personally don’t use discord, just because new things make me anxious (obviously). I like the site just fine, but that doesn’t mean everyone else shouldn’t use it.

Would you mind if Azari tagged along? There's really no good reason for him to be in NYC by himself lol

Here's the thing to consider with a Discord though: the generally much greater number of messages and the resulting comparative lack of permanence thanks to a denser, minute by minute backlog make it that much easier for people to not actually get OOC chatter they might be interested in or the ability to actually weigh in on things in any relevant manner, which is important.
For instance, here I am talking about the subject some 2 hours after it was brought up. I read, what, a dozen messages total and I got the info I needed and get to be included. In a Discord a 2 hour window kills the discussion, it's done on the moment and if you're not there at that exact time well tough luck. That whole "oh well if you don't join you don't get to have a voice"? It happens even with people who do join the Discord.
In an OOC thread, unless people obsessively post over absolutely every little thing, it's easy to have a transparent, public discussion over important game aspects and communicate things clearly with everyone else in the game. Take that away and you're just asking for players to isolate themselves into cliques that don't interact IC or worse, they end up spending more time talking about post ideas in the Discord rather than actually posting.
I mean we've been communicating here just fine, haven't we?
