There has been some discussion over whether Ramafia, if hosted, should take place in Discord instead of on the forum itself.
To start the ball rolling, this is my view on it:
* Discord lets you see messages and respond instantly, allowing for potentially more engaging rounds, plus Discord is much easier to stay online in.
* However some people may only be available for limited amounts of time per day even when discounting time zones. For these people, a faster round is not necessarily a better thing, it means having more chaotic stuff to catch up to.
* While you can always check the backlog in both forums and Discord, forums are much easier for archiving & backtracking purposes. Discord doesn't really have a system for direct links to old messages aside from pinning important messages. Plus messages are short and all over the place compared to posts which are much more organized.
Further discussion welcome.
