>>6065423The actual anon this question was asked to (sorry, didn't notice it initially). Grab some more smugness as compensation.
>ONE SINGLE builder run solely on boards (no discord or other platforms) which got successfully finishedNone. Not because none ever finished (as the other anon pointed out, Bobski ran his games to completion, and they pretty much defined what builder even is), but pretty much from the start mibbit (browser-based IRC if you're a zoomie) was in use. This allowed people to ask all the questions without shitting up the thread itself and in many cases, also unlocked option for secret moves and deals, for better and worse.
But I will give you that the switch from mibbit to discord was disastrous - half of the regulars didn't switch on a principle since, unlike mibbit, discord requires a fixed account.
>I'm asking cause I like the idea of builders but everytime I join one it just inevitably crashes and burnsIf you don't mind the game being "line goes up", the other builder seems to have the things you ask for, and first and foremost, is the most public builder I saw since, dunno, 2018? 17? It started around Easter, OP went twice for some work delegation in the meantime and had a hiatus due to an accident, yet always returned on the announced schedule. His initial players flaked left and right (me included), yet despite being an affair for just 3 factions at this point, it is still on and still has regular updates. That's by itself impressive as fuck, even if the game is kinda meh. The game itself is a weird mix of schizoid approach, line-goes-up gameplay and a really bad, mid-10s ruleset (particularly the combat resolution, which you can look up in archives, where just about everyone was groaning, including OP). And as far as I know, there is no communicator, yet it is still running without major problems, which is just uncanny.
