I would post a list of rules for that group as in they can only ping at specific percents of voting goals. Like they can ping at the beginning (1~%) then when it hits 25% or 30% again.

Yeah limits are good and really it could just be a permissions thing where there is a list of trusted members who have the power to ping and others do not.

We're at 33% Just a fraction left

I understand that the TeamBlake pings get used a lot. It is frustrating, but it is an event. I would advise muting the ping group if you don't like the pings, but leaving it means you won't be able to access this forum, so you'll miss out on a lot of information.

hehe xD

I think we need a few more people for it to kick in? 1/3 is actually about 33.34%, so yeah :p That or cache :P

So yes, the tag is being "abused" if that's what you want to call it. I'm just seeing it as our team is excited to be in the lead, or helping others out.

If you didn't want major pings, then don't join the group or just turn off the notifications. P:

To those wondering why the speed boost hasn't kicked in, 1/3 = 33.333333%. Since it says we're at 33%, we likely still need a few more votes... but still have under 1% until it should boost.

No worries! It's ok :D

we're so close to the boost omg!!

Couldn't we just have a speed boost/obstacle specific group that only maybe four people can actually ping for so that there isn't this issue? Like a person from four separate spread out time zones. That would cut down on the pings, but still make sure that people saw when we needed voting for the speed boost, or help with an obstacle (though even the obstacle is unnecessary since we get the notice at the top of the screen).

We made 33%

If you've voted and are waiting for the boost to kick in, maybe go play survivor? It can only help when we lost a bunch of food!

Obstacles seem to be okay so far now that we have the OTT ping group. I think the TeamBlake group has just been over pinged with the excitement of trying to get people to vote.

The problem is that when some people log on and see a bunch of group pings, they likely don't read every single one. So someone re-pings a bit later with an update, hoping to catch new people :/
