In-Game PR Voting
We need an in-game system for voting on non-WIP PRs. A good system would utilize github's API to build a list of active PRs with links to a more detailed page, and provide merge/no-merge/no opinion buttons.
I'm currently up to my neck in other projects, so don't plan on doing this myself.
Benefits
- Players wouldn't need a github account to vote
- This would replace emojiocracy with a more accurate and less-abusable system
- Would hopefully reduce the amount of shitposting on github
Detriments
- Players would need a github account to comment
- Would require checking the voting system before merging
- Maybe add a pre-merge check?
- Drawing up policies
- Drama

Maybe we need more PR awareness? TG has the whole "announce new, merged or closed PRs in the chat" thing
remember when they also announced created PRs and people used to it to make "IT'S MALF" PRs
Maybe have a list of active PRs in the pregame lobby as something to browse while you're waiting?
TG had a similar system, in which PRs were announced on their server. Someone used it to ick-ock from the github.
Well it's a good thing we have a far higher quality of player than TG
As for voting from in game I feel like that bare minimum amount of effort required to do it right now is a good way for ensuring people put some thought into what they are doing
Kinda why I thought the pregame lobby would be better than mid round, the worst we'll get is "Ready up for cult"
the d3athrow-issues account could probably get around the comment issue, with checks to ban ckeys from using it if need be
