[removal] [input wanted]
About the PR
Ass jam suffers from unclear purpose and every month as it rolls around a ton of usually valid overwhelmingly negative feedback appears about it. This PR removes ass jam. Please discuss in the forum thread.
Note: this PR lacks the ass jam label on purpose because that label forces the changelog entry into the ass jam changelog which this PR removes so there would be no point in putting it there.
Why's this needed?
Concerns raised by the community:
- Ass jam makes the code ugly and harder to develop when it's not in a separate branch.
- Ass jam lacks a clear purpose, it's a mix of admin shenanigans, powergaming PRs, testing PRs, silly PRs, broken PRs and shitposts.
- It is indistinguishable from a regular round.
- The ass day classic mode is too murderboney.
- Admins don't run events on ass jam and don't give a shit about the round.
- Features get reverted randomly. Moreover this isn't properly noted in the changelog so no one knows what changes are in-game and what aren't.
- No one wants to develop for ass jam because you're only developing a feature to be available for one day instead of for the other 29-30 days of a month. And the lack of clarity about the purpose of ass jam doesn't help. Most projects are either good enough to be enabled permanently or bad enough to not be enabled at all, the margin for ass-jam-ness is small.
- Most ass jam features are minor and not noticed anyway.
- It just isn't fun.
- The wider variety of maps doesn't appeal to everyone.
