Conference of Monarchs:Viridian (October 2006)

From YPPedia

Game Design

  • Blockade fame on Viridian still lower than Midnight, and Viridian is the same age as Midnight when fame was implemented
  • Re: the idea to implement a high limit on fame so that flags with too much fame cannot blockade an island - this may hurt large active flags without the crazy resources like some flags
  • Upping the hearty limit again?
  • Jobbers don't show on crew info
  • Have something above sparkly to show how well you are doing, or numberical readout
  • 2nd and 3rd place tournament prizes
  • Specialized in-game event planners
  • When a governor sets up an event blockade, give the ability to give prizes, such as money by point total or by round winner, this can go to the monarch of the flag or a royal online
  • As the forums play such a large part, make players aware of them when they start, highlight certain discussion threads in the notice board news, link to the forums
  • Can there be an ability to mute someone on the forums and just not see his posts?
  • Portrait easels can be deleted as with other props in the palace, leaving great confusion for greenies looking for their free portraits
  • A way to sticky notices for crew/flag in news, or separate alliance requests/endings in another tab as it spams and gums up everything
  • A DnD that will only accept tells from hearties

Game Balance

  • Fame evasion - crew joining a flag to get fame up and then leaving- is this something that can even be tracked or supported?
  • The Viridian population and large base of green trial players filters a lot of money into poker where it tends to concentrate and land with the top players
  • There are three large islands open in Onyx. What about Garnet?
  • With Lima, Sakejima, and Dragon's Nest all secure and closed to blockades, players don't want to move to other archipelagos
  • High green population means that while island owners on Midnight complain about sinking millions of their own money in, Viridian island owners say they see a great deal of profit-just by selling paint to greenies in shacks from the palace

Support Issues

  • Let more conflicts be handled in-flag
  • Too much forum whining, concern is that this is what gets your way or gets things done
  • Call for a familiar tournament each week at the same time on all oceans, to cut down elite player simul-tourneying
  • Now that we've done the wiki popup upon greetering for the first time, use it when opening a stall and in promotions
  • Viridian's forums feel a bit forgotten; there's not a lot of OM interference or moderation
