2010-05-21 17:02:26  Zorg: Ok set your chat to your gang color, if you're an elder use your gang color, if you're a rogue use white
 +
2010-05-21 17:02:29  KevinMp: we have 2 backups. one is offline, and 1 isnt responding
 +
2010-05-21 17:02:38  Scott: Zorg Rogue rep is Pie :P

 +
2010-05-21 17:03:38  Bernard721: shoot dropped some bud in my keyboard
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:42  KevinMp: WHAT!?!?!
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:45  Zorg: Nobody cares.
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:45  KevinMp: lol allright
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:46  Scott: by that i mean shut up
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:50  Ross: Lmao
 +
2010-05-21 17:03:57  bcfcespley: can we just start
 +
2010-05-21 17:04:00  Zorg: Ok will be removing rep status from those who speak...
 +
2010-05-21 17:04:10  Zorg: If that's not clear enough by the instructions given twice already.
 +
2010-05-21 17:04:31  Scott: Right, Welcome to the second LegCon. This second meeting will be hosted by Lucas, myself and Zorg.
 +
2010-05-21 17:04:50  Scott: The room is set to moderated so if you need to make a point PM your chosen gang reps by double clciking their names.
 +
2010-05-21 17:05:04  Scott: Can all gang reps please use your gang colours to avoid confusion
 +
2010-05-21 17:05:26  Scott: All input will be noted down and tomorrow the logs/review of the meeting will be posted.
 +
2010-05-21 17:05:32  Scott: Take it away Zorg :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:05:51  Zorg: Ok this will be a structured chat, not a free-for-all... so if it isn't constructive I dont want to hear it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:15  Zorg: How many elder reps do we have here?
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:20  Food: All 4.
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:23  Ross: 4
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:29  Zorg: hmm ok
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:30  KevinMp: BoD is... checking. hold on
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:38  Zorg: Well first the Elders and their forum.
 +
2010-05-21 17:06:41  KevinMp: we have 4. all good :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:08  Zorg: The initial idea behind this was a place I could get feedback from people without getting opinions of new players or players of lesser importance.... if that's not too offensive :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:15  Zorg: However it didn't get used much.
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:19  Zorg: So I shut it down.
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:32  Zorg: Then Deeg convinced me to re-open it with him running it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:41  Zorg: Then Deeg left... he is kind of back now but still.
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:50  Zorg: So it got abandoned for a while, then Scott was put in charge of it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:07:59  Zorg: It now seems to just be there... with no real purpose.
 +
2010-05-21 17:08:30  Zorg: So I want to know what people think about it, whether it should remain or be removed again.
 +
2010-05-21 17:08:43  darp: At one point, the forum was put forth as a way to discuss suggestions and game updates and the like.
 +
2010-05-21 17:08:46  KevinMp: we should keep it up :O
 +
2010-05-21 17:08:57  bcfcespley: We should keep it, if you actually have some input zorg
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:04  darp: If the estions forum is player driven, I think COE would do better with direct input from you, Zorg.
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:12  jonkers: To me it sounds like the hall of gods but for older players
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:18  Scott: Of course if kept open the members will be re-worked so every member has recently logged in  so we dont have our current stauts of inactive elders.
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:19  darp: So that we aren't discussing things that you don't like or won't want implemented.
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:21  Ross: First of all, I'd like to thank Scott and the staff, for arranging this semester
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:23  Zorg: It was removed when the council forum was added with the gang system, as that was supposed to take its place.
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:34  Risque: And what about the Senate forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:40  Bernard721: Well just like the Avatar and Senate, its apparently not being used.. but the occasional thread and discussion is worth it
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:42  KevinMp: imo, all new updates should go through it
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:47  Pie: The senate is junk.
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:52  Risque: Then why have it?
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:55  Ross: the main problem is activity.....i said that in the forum itself
 +
2010-05-21 17:09:57  KevinMp: it lets veteran players discuss it, and ensure itll go right and such
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:00  darp: Back to coe.
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:00  Risque: Or combine Senate and COE
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:03  Tibos: from my experience, the CoE is a bit more active (lol!) and mature about problems than the Senate
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:06  Zorg: Yes the senate, hall of gods, elder forums are all similair sort of forums and none of them serve a purpose at present.
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:12  Ross: we have way too make players on the elders list who have long lost interest
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:17  Ross: thats the problem, imo
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:19  bcfcespley: elders is as useful as suggestions at this point in time, without the person who can actually make things happening having no input, whats the point in doing anything in them? {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:42  Angel: Maybe the COE could be used as a filter forum for the public forums, since you ay you want to remove the 'leser importance' Elders could ensure that the critical point are addressed and heard, rather than suggestions being shut down because they are either
 +
2010-05-21 17:10:53  Angel: improperly seen or jut spammed away
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:06  Scott: Well at the current status of the game
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:08  Zorg: so what place would the senate and avatar forums have?
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:18  Scott: things cant really be added ebcause of the rebuild
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:19  Food: It's simple, It requires Zorg's involvement to work..if not, it seems things are being said to deaf ears, also..we could use some active people, as mention.
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:20  Ross: no, we just need to axe the players who barely log in more and get some of the more active players in
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:24  Pie: I don't see why we have the senate
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:29  darp: Senate should remain, as needed. Avatar forum... meh.
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:34  Risque: Ross makes a good point
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:36  Ross: Primie, Jack, Doddsyboi, Pink
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:38  Ross: etc etc
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:43  Bernard721: Maybe if a suggestion in the Suggestion forum sounds decent, it could be moved into another forum for old player discussion
 +
2010-05-21 17:11:50  Tibos: Avatar forum = reward for avatars ; Senate = discussions that involve gangs
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:08  bcfcespley: a reward?
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:09  SlickVic: I don't see a lot of use for the Avatar forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:10  bcfcespley: o.O
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:14  Scott: So you guys would prefer a filter process ?
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:21  Ross: urgh
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:22  Ross: no
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:24  Ross: in short
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:26  Zorg: Like I said the Elder process became tiresome.... keeping track of a community and selecting those who are active to be Elders... removing inactive Elders. The idea of the Senate was the councils are player elected, it took away the need for staff...
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:31  KevinMp: same. avatar forum is like.. for gloating
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:31  Zorg: to add / remove Elders all the time.
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:34  Angel: Senate forums are gang related, they should be used for global gang discussions... (if any), The the Avatar forum is for avatars, elling av equipment/ welcoming new avatars, it already has it's purpose, not many pay attention to it, so that's why it seems
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:38  Angel: to be worthless
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:52  Ross: Zorg, its not that difficult to maintain elders at the moment
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:56  Ross: the list hasnt be revised in ages
 +
2010-05-21 17:12:58  Zorg: Yes, sadly the gangs rarely have the need to talk with all the other gangs.
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:07  Ross: been*
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:09  zerocomman: avatar forum is a place where people female-dog about tyran drops. it's worthless
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:14  KevinMp: we just need new ones. activeness is a requirement
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:22  Bernard721: I just dont see why this is the starting topic point... what is is, taking up 5mb on the server space? Leave it be, and modify it later
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:28  Scott: hmm
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:46  Zorg: So if we keep it and I get involved, how do we decide who gets to be an Elder and who does not?
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:50  darp: I think Zorg steering of COE or at least Zorg through Scott would be the most important starting point.
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:55  bcfcespley: everyone zorg
 +
2010-05-21 17:13:58  Ross: election from within?
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:00  Scott: So would you guys like to see the senate removed, avatar forum removed CoE reset and all player revised with a bigger member list?
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:07  darp: More work for Z and Staff, but it would spur some discussion.
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:09  Bernard721: How about using the voting system thats never used....
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:16  Tibos: election from within is the logical idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:18  Food: I say we leave Scott in chargew of members list, but if you keep a eye on what's said there Zorg, that would work.
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:19  Angel: so that isn't the issue here, the COE should use the filter method because it shows that the people who are selected are done so for a reason, they have more thought behind there points than new players as you said, and can develop less brain punching idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:22  Pascal: let people apply and scan their history within the game?
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:23  Angel: s so to speak :)
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:23  Ross: if you use internal election, it gives the group another purpose?
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:27  Zorg: The voting system is being removed soon. :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:45  bcfcespley: what and biased options is coming in instead?
 +
2010-05-21 17:14:55  Scott: Zorg, would it be a stupid idea to have like a gang voting system ?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:00  KevinMp: people who are invited to CoE should be players with little staff issues, a long period of play, and activeness
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:06  Pie: why should the elders get to elect someone the staff don't care to listen to?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:11  Rotten: dont we have a gang voting system?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:16  Scott: like the kick player vote a player needs a certain number of yess's to get access ?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:21  jonkers: Would different gangs agree  on a vote?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:27  Zorg: I'm not adding voting systems on anything, this isn't a democracy... we can discuss things giving reasons not mindless pick from multiple choice questions.
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:27  Food: Voting is based too muchj on popularity, I strongly believe that a member of Staff should be incharge of the members.
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:38  KevinMp: should we have a certain amount of people from each gang in the Chambers?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:42  KevinMp: 4 per?
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:46  Ross: it wouldnt be mindless pick from the elders...
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:54  darp: PiCOE should be removed from gang considerations as much as possible.
 +
2010-05-21 17:15:56  Pie: Kevin.. That would be the senate again..
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:01  Tibos: CoE is strongly gang independent
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:16  KevinMp: i mean.. just choosing the people that go in.
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:20  darp: I've seen very little gangbias in the COE.
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:23  KevinMp: So that way, every gang has a voice
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:38  Pie: Again, that sounds very similat to the senate..
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:39  Angel: Elders are decided from ranging factors, first would be account age, then game contributions, gang contribution, staff contribtions such a good ethics between players and staff, they should be selected by staff (Zorg and scott) with input from the current
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:39  Zorg: Yes, Elders would be for discussing game changes... not changes that could effect some gangs differently to others.
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:44  Pie: similar*
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:50  bcfcespley: but what is every coe member decides to join the same gang
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:52  Tibos: no, gang has nothing to do with CoE, people there are mature enough to think of the game and not of the gang they are in
 +
2010-05-21 17:16:56  Angel: elders but the decision remains staff for a non-biased outlook
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:07  Zorg: Clearly the current Elders list is out-dated.... Scott has been in charge of it for months, so clearly that's not working.
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:16  bcfcespley: lol yeah scott
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:18  bcfcespley: do your job :p
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:23  Pie: seconded.
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:24  Pie: xD
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:25  KevinMp: So how are we gonna go about deciding new members?
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:26  Ross: Lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:31  Risque: Per Bigmick - Keep the active members already in there and add or remove the rest.
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:33  KevinMp: staff pick?
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:33  Scott: -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:37  Food: Was scott under the direction to fire inactive people?
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:41  Scott: well if i went ahead and removed inactives
 +
2010-05-21 17:17:52  Scott: it would be helpful if current elders did their joba nd suggested replacements
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:01  Bernard721: What about a seperate staff position for the head of CoE
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:01  Ross: ...
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:05  Pie: why does there have to be replacements?
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:19  Ross: theres a sticky on membership thats got about 59 votes
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:21  darp: We could do better suggesting new members, and there is no need to remove inactives.
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:22  Ross: posts*
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:22  Zorg: That would be a very boring job.
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:32  Pie: surely a small, active group is better than a larger, inactive one
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:33  Scott: Some old posts, witht he players inactive
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:39  KevinMp: Pie yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:46  bcfcespley: exactly pie
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:48  Scott: Right
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:53  Ross: there has to be replacements because theres people on the list who have zero input on this game anymore
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:57  darp: I don't see the difference.
 +
2010-05-21 17:18:59  Angel: COE has been seen as eligible to be removed, making a staff position is not functional just further proves the point it has no place.
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:01  Ross: they barely find the interest to log in regulary
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:06  Pie: but why do they have to be replaced?
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:09  Pie: why not just remove them?
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:18  Ross: because then you'll have about 8 elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:27  Ross: i'd be cool with that
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:32  Pie: and select Elders when somebody proves good enough.. :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:32  Ross: but its not my decision
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:34  Ross: so...
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:38  Scott: Right
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:38  Ross: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:40  Pie: that's what we're here to discuss..
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:40  Ross: that could work
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:48  zerocomman: how many members does staff want in elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:49  Scott: so should elder list be reset yes or no -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:19:55  KevinMp: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:00  Risque: You need to decide how many elders, as well
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:01  Pie: reset? no
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:03  KevinMp: it needs to be refreshed
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:04  Bernard721: Well obviously Elders now are going to say no
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:06  Pie: pruned, yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:07  Tibos: trimmed and afterwards expanded
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:09  Ross: reset?
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:10  Angel: Maybe Selecting Elders could be the same as staff positions, it could be explained and applications sent to scott, which then gets discussed in the forum by the Elders currently, and a decision is reached?
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:11  KevinMp: some of them can stay
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:12  Ross: cut down
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:12  Zorg: There was never a limit.
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:13  Ross: :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:27  Zorg: There were like 20 elders before it shutdown and the gang system went live, they became the starting gang councils.
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:28  Tibos: Angel's idea souns nice
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:31  Pascal: their should be a clear idea te be "good" enough though
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:40  Risque: Bigmick - The original amount of elders was 16. Why change that.?
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:41  Ross: that idea sucks
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:49  Ross: cue levels 5 saying "KAN I B ELDAR"
 +
2010-05-21 17:20:59  Scott: like your application
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:01  Zorg: So you want it to remain an invite only elitist forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:02  Scott: hehe :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:08  Ross: pretty much
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:10  KevinMp: we should maybe put a year limit on who we accept?
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:10  bcfcespley: yeah
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:12  Tibos: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:15  jonkers: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:16  Pie: if it's not invite only, you may as well close it..
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:16  Ross: that was the draw of the CoE to being wiht
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:17  Food: Yes.
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:17  Pascal: yeah
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:18  Zorg: Ok
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:21  Angel: obviously scott knows the difference between an aplicable elder and a level 5
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:21  KevinMp: for example, u need to have been playing for at least 2 years or something
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:28  Zorg: Do you want to allow applications or literally be like... wait until you get invited?
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:36  Ross: the latter
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:38  Pie: wait until you get contacted, i think
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:40  Zorg: Obviously we would ignore low level newbie applications.
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:41  KevinMp: yeah
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:43  jonkers: latter
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:43  Angel: You don't need to be a genius, Scott could easily filter out the 'lesser importance' :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:47  Pie: with discussion inside the froum
 +
2010-05-21 17:21:48  Pie: forum*
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:09  Pascal: applications sound nice, maybe make a system that checks if you are eligeble for it?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:10  SlickVic: how were elders chosen initially?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:15  zerocomman: i agree with waiting for invites
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:16  darp: Invite is fine, but I think membership is the lesser issue... what about the forum's function?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:17  Zorg: Ok that's decided, the Elder forum will be re-launched, the member list updated and we'll form a new group of Elders through which all updates will be explained and discussed.
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:21  Ross: Zorg hand picked them
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:23  Tibos: handpicked by  zorg, SlickVic
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:24  darp: ok, fine.
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:24  Ross: i think...?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:29  007Ben: an application would be good if it had a required rank to enter
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:41  KevinMp: we cant base it on gang rank, can we?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:44  Zorg: They were hand picked by me, back when I was more community involved.
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:45  zerocomman: haha no
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:47  KevinMp: non-biased
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:50  darp: COE removed from gang.
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:55  Zorg: Ok the gang senate, should that just be removed?
 +
2010-05-21 17:22:55  Food: Zorg picked them out of Gang's leadership when he relauched I think :O
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:00  Food: Yes Zorg.
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:02  Scott: Yes.
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:03  Pie: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:08  Angel: agreed
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:09  darp: Keep Senate.
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:09  Zorg: and the avatar forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:10  Scott: At the moment i just see spam all the time
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:11  Tibos: No... it does no harm
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:14  darp: What's the harm?
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:15  Ross: remove it
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:16  zerocomman: kill avatar forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:18  Scott: well darp
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:18  Ross: useless forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:22  Zorg: It's never had a constructive post in it though. :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:23  Scott: im not being evil but
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:23  007Ben: not base it on the rank, just need to be a certain rank to apply for it, so no noobs would apply
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:24  darp: Oh, god. Tibos and I of one mind.
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:30  Bernard721: Why is there a need to scrap them?
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:32  Pie: Uh
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:33  Scott: the main threads are just good luck int he next wf
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:34  Food: There's no point in having 2 threads meant for the same thing./
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:36  Bernard721: If theres one tthread a year, so be it
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:37  Ross: we're at a stage now where we have more avatars than lower levels....whats the point?
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:38  Pie: The senate currently has no active topics
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:41  Pie: it's a waste
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:43  Scott: so in total we have a forum that gets a good luck thread every 3 months
 +
2010-05-21 17:23:43  Pascal: remove senate and keep avatar
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:02  Pascal: avatar is getting used still, well not much but more than senate :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:09  Scott: I'd say remove senate
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:11  Ross: the avatar one is more useles
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:15  Zorg: Ok I've been trying to make my presence in the suggestions forum a bit more known by actually posting my thoughts recently, I'll get more involved in the Elder forum and shutdown the Senate / Avatar forums.
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:15  jonkers: A DF member has suggested that every 3 months elders have to re apply to be an elder.
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:16  bcfcespley: remove suggestions
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:23  darp: At least on paper, there's no use for having a forum for gang leaderships to meet? Yes, it is not being used, but removing is the better idea? :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:26  Tibos: avatar forum is posted in daily, but mainly spam
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:30  Scott: that way the current rank 16's have a better job at gang relations
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:34  Zorg: Suggestions serves a purpose :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:42  bcfcespley: what purpose lol?
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:46  bcfcespley: dust collecting
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:54  darp: Leave Suggestions alone.
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:55  KevinMp: some of the ideas were taken
 +
2010-05-21 17:24:56  zerocomman: no need for an avatar spam forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:06 [Disconnect] Extreme
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:07  Angel: remove senate, why? because it is evident when being linked to communicate with other gangs, we don't want anything to do with it, if we wanted to dicusss any isues, that's what the rank 16's are for...
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:14  Food: Suggestions is the same as CoE, It requires Zorg to really work..since he says yes or no to things.
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:17  Rotten: Avatar Forum is one of our most useless forums, we all use it to complain about not getting tyran drops.
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:22  darp: I really don't want Senate removed.
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:23  Bernard721: Rank 16s are hardly used though...
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:42  bcfcespley: why dont zorg add his rating system in his updates to the suggestions forum threads?
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:42  Bernard721: People go straight to the people they're friendly with in a PM
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:44  Pie: darp.. all of its threads are archived
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:45  Scott: Well with senate beign removed rank 16's will have more to do
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:49  Pie: nothing constructive gets posted there
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:52  Risque: Senate hasn't had a post since April 5th so what's the point?
 +
2010-05-21 17:25:52  Zorg: why though darp?
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:06  Zorg: your personal dislike of change is not reason to keep something that has no purpose
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:08  darp: Whether used or not, the avenue of communication is open.
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:11  Ross: none of the gangs like each other....whats the point in trying to maintaina  forum where they can co-exist?
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:12  Ross: {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:14  Scott: If i moved good suggestions to senate it will just turn into arguements
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:14  Zorg: The whole point of the senate was to replace the elder forum and it never did
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:24  Pie: The rank 16's job is to communicate..
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:29  Zorg: an avenue that is never used in the years it has been open
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:30  Pie: Use them
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:44  Angel: the avenue of communication is within the rank 16', they are suppose to 'communicate'. Not everyone in leadership.
 +
2010-05-21 17:26:56  jonkers: An idea from a DF member. In the senate forum a gang should be able to open a thread that only a selected gang could read. So If for example OC only want to talk to BOD that can.
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:00  Bernard721: I have a feeling this LegCon is going to be a long one... I mean 30 minutes on forum use....
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:02  darp: Sometimes I want to yell at 15 people directly, not through the r16s.
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:08  Angel: The rank 16 is suppose to bring any discussion to the attention of council in the council forum, not the senate
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:08  Pie: jonkers
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:17  Zorg: Gang to gang forums aren't happening.
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:17  Scott: jonkers that would be... stupid
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:18  Angel: thus creating senate forum useless :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:20  Pie: in response to that, again, that is why there are Rank 16
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:28  Zorg: Ratings could be added to Suggestions but that would be a big job.
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:29  Pie: And the post office..
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:36  Scott: plus
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:38  bcfcespley: just copy and paste the code lol {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:45  Scott: the problem with ratings is its jsut thumbs up or down
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:50  jonkers: Its not my idea I am just passing on idea's
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:52  Scott: we need to know WHY its good or bad
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:56  Pie: i know
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:56  Zorg: Like you copy and paste your graphics? :o
 +
2010-05-21 17:27:58  Zorg: Zing!
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:00  Pie: I was just responding to it
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:03  bcfcespley: yeah
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:08  bcfcespley: cus that made sense {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:12  Scott: its no use just saying thumbs down to a good suggestion
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:16  Zorg: :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:19  Scott: we need to know why you think its crap
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:19  bcfcespley: :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:20  Zorg: Ok next topic
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:33  Ross: Ste got bullied then
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:44  bcfcespley: how did i lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:47  Zorg: Flame Forum, right now we're deleting stuff that may get us in to... legal trouble, soon the TOS will be re-written to prohibit such discussion. Apart from that the plan is to leave it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:54  Zorg: Do you guys like it? hate it? etc
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:55  Ross: wooo
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:58  Ross: Go flame forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:28:59  Bernard721: Love it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:02  Tibos: i like it
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:05  Bernard721: I know its childish.. but its great
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:13  Tibos: but i would like an anti-spam rule on it
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:14  KevinMp: its all trash, but its pretty much a spam forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:17  darp: It's pretty inane, but meh... the purpose is sound.
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:19  Pie: it doesn't seem o have moved any of the arguments off of Side Chat -.-
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:23  007Ben: personally i like it, but most if the forums are just pointless :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:24  Pie: if anything, i've had more tickets
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:26  zerocomman: anti-spam would be much appreciated
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:27  Food: It's not for me, I have little to no interest in it, but of course..for others it serves a purpose.
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:28  Risque: Nothing will do that, Pie
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:29  darp: It seems to be the new non-related forum, though, often.
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:30  KevinMp: but imo, if it gets the game in trouble, kill it
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:32  Zorg: In short the TOS re-write will prohibit pornographic content, illegal content and personal attacks aimed at individuals within the game.
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:36  Rotten: I hate the Flame Forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:43  Scott: Right now i get a mail a week asking me to take action on player abuse ..
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:50  Pascal: yeah flame forum should get kept out of sidechat &gt;.&gt;
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:54  Scott: i cant because if someone insults you its a FLAME forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:55  Scott: ignore it
 +
2010-05-21 17:29:59  SlickVic: I have no use for it, but I don't have to vist there so its not an issue to me.
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:06  Food: Once ToS is Re-written then I think Flame Forum will be fine.
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:06  Risque: Exactly, Slick
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:10  007Ben: id rather not click on a link that is said to be a video and be shown genetalia
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:13  Zorg: Well personal attacks in the flame forum will be banned by the TOS soon.
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:25  KevinMp: then in that case, flame forums are good 2 go
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:27  zerocomman: half the stuff in flame would just normally be in non-related
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:28  Scott: 0007, that si one of the things that will be banned by  Tos
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:29  darp: How is it a Flame forum then?
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:29  Ross: makes sense
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:29  Tibos: doesn't that ... contradict the purpose?
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:32  Bernard721: Well genetalia is considered pornography... so new ToS  will limit that
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:38  Ross: -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:43  Angel: It's good, in myopinion because it reveals what some people will do, and helps to decide upon giving them such respect as staff positions, Elder positions etc, if they say something out of line it shows how they can't make points across without being a
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:47  Ross: you guys have tge wrong end of a stick as to what a flame forum is...
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:50  bcfcespley: angel stop with the essays XD
 +
2010-05-21 17:30:53  Angel: complete ass...
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:00  Scott: for the past few weeks i have edited out a few things that violate a few things
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:04  Zorg: ...*shrug* but there is untested liability through internet bullying if you allow your website to be used for personal attacks against others.
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:04  Rotten: Remove the flame forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:10  darp: Then pay attention to the summary, there, bcf.
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:14  darp: lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:29  darp: Legal considerations trump all.
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:31  Ross: its fine zorg,
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:35  Zorg: And I'd rather not be in the court case that tests the water on that one, I'll leave that to facebook and encyclopedia dramatica... they have more money... and lawyers
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:46  Ross: the flame forum i suggested to you was merely a forum where restrictions on swearing werent in place
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:50  Ross: mainly got every day rants
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:50  darp: personal attacks = racism, and all the isms, but everything else is fine?
 +
2010-05-21 17:31:52  Ross: or touchy subjects
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:00  Scott: Racsim is edited out right now
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:04  Ross: people who started abusing others took it way out of the context it was meant
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:11  Scott: look at searphims thread right now, shes bitching about my edits
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:13  zerocomman: so rename the flame forum so it no longer implies flaming is approved
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:15  Bernard721: Yep. Racist is edited... ::roll::
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:17  KevinMp: look... the flame forum is gonna get you in hot water :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:25  Zorg: It will be an open forum with no restriction on content (besides legal restrictions), no language rules... for ranting and complaining. lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:27  Korin: rename it to swearing forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:32  KevinMp: if it causes problems, redo it
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:32  Ross: woo
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:33  Tibos: Open Forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:35  Angel: Right now staff 'watch over' the flame forum, so it is just a way of seeing who is here just to fool around and who is here as a more serious manner, than just 'flaming' :)
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:44  Bernard721: So why is using a racial slur different than using unrestricted langugage use
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:47  Zorg: Right now staff watch over it to delete anything illegal lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:51  Korin: its not a flame forum without personal attacks
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:55  darp: So, I can tear someone a new one in Flame Forum still, as long as I'm not being racist or other ists?
 +
2010-05-21 17:32:59  Angel: Exactly Zorg
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:00  Korin: rant forum/unrestricted forum/swear forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:02  Scott: because a racial slur is bullying against someones race
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:03  Zorg: Open i.e you can discuss anything... suggestions, legacy stuff, not related stuff.... whatever
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:06  Angel: there is it's purpose right there
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:20  Scott: in the UK legislation it is illegal to use race against someone :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:28  Zorg: No you will not be able to use the flame forum for personal attacks against players of the game.
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:28  007Ben: if people dont want to read racial slurs, they shouldnt be in the flame forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:29  Angel: to weed out who wants to act up and who is more civil
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:34  Ross: or everyday subjects that could cause tension or hit a few nerves :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:40  Pie: a while ago, i had trouble explaining to somebody that the Flame Forum was not created for players to attack other players
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:46  darp: Then definitely rename it away from Flame forum.
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:54  Bernard721: But using a racial slur, not pointed at a specific person is not a personal attack
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:56  Zorg: Rename it to what? :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:33:58  Ross: -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:00  Tibos: Open Forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:01  Angel: spam forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:02  Scott: Open Forum sounds better
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:03  darp: Open or such.
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:04  Zorg: Chav Forum -_-
 +

 +
2010-05-21 17:34:13  Zorg: ok all the Americans wouldnt get that joke
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:16  Angel: All it is essentially is spam
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:23  Bernard721: Oh I got the joke
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:25  Scott: Post count doesnt count
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:30  Scott: so spam shouldnt be an issue
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:33  Tibos: actually it's not spam ;)
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:39  Bernard721: 18+ Forum... done dea

 +
2010-05-21 17:34:49  Zorg: Spam just makes my nightly db backups take longer. -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:34:49  KevinMp: remake the spam forum and remove the idea of flame. solvves the problem, and lets people say what they want
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:02  Scott: *floods Zorgs inbox*
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:04  Ross: thats all the intention of the forum was, a place to have no restictions on language
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:10  Zorg: ok so Spam Forum, I'll put in place the rules mentioned above... swearing and such will still be allowed.
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:11  zerocomman: i doubt people want it to be a spam forum either
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:12  Ross: not to actually start inciting hatred on other players
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:14  darp: Flaming every where else in the world means verbally abusing people.
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:20  Bernard721: Not Spam Forum..
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:21  Bernard721: Its not spam
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:27  Bernard721: Its discussions that are 18+
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:28  Ross: doesnt have to mean people...
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:30  Scott: ...
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:31  007Ben: adult forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:34  Risque:  Bigmick - I think having a forum like this puts you on dodgey ground, why take the risk?
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:35  Zorg: Mature Forum? o.O
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:38  Zorg: That sounds like porn...
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:41  Pascal: XD
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:42  darp: Mature forum lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:47  Rotten: people can just lie and say there 18+
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:50  Ross: Non-Restricted?
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:51  KevinMp: mature forum would lead to porn one way or another
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:52  Tibos: Unrestricted Forum if you don't like Open
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:52  Rotten: that solves nothing
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:53  Scott: are you telling me that a thread about MrImplode being an idiot isnt spam
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:54  Scott: o_o
 +
2010-05-21 17:35:57  Ross: kinda has a play on words from not-related
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:00  Ross: :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:02  Bernard721: Well of course, I mean I'm 15... but its the players choice
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:13  Food: The big boys forum with no offical name forum.
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:15  Scott: So technically you shouldnt be in that forum hehe :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:16  Food: There we go.
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:25  darp: People can lie about their age. That's fine. The legal considerations remain covered.
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:26  bcfcespley: no because people will read the word unrestricted without reading the tos
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:27  zerocomman: does making it a clan rather than a public forum help any?
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:32  Scott: and i highly doubt you went "mommy can i acces the big bad forum"
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:35  KevinMp: if we had an age limit on a forum, the little kids would complain about not being allowed
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:41  KevinMp: i could see them making multis just to access it
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:48  Bernard721: Its the internet people
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:49  Scott: Multis shouldnt be an issue.
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:55  bcfcespley: Hi are you 18? yes, ok {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:36:59  Ross: if people lie about their age and then get offended by what they see
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:00  Pie: the Flame Forum has an accept thing that says only accept if you're 18, Kevin
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:03  Ross: thats their problem
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:13  Bernard721: Ross ::yes::
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:13  Scott: people can make multis to read other gang forums.. do you want us to shutdown gangs to 0 day old people lol?
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:21  Risque: Charge admission to the flame forum :X
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:45  007Ben: i agree with ross, if people get offended after lying about their age, its their oen fault
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:45  Scott: if people make multis they get banned
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:48  Scott: their own fault
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:50  Zorg: ok the forum will remain anyway with some restrictions and a possible rename
 +
2010-05-21 17:37:51  007Ben: own*

2010-05-21 17:38:04  Scott: Spanky

2010-05-21 17:38:13  Scott: or have you fallen asleep

2010-05-21 17:38:18  Spanky: nope
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:20  Risque: rofl
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:20  Ross: anyone who gets offended by a few swear words needs a slap anyway
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:22  Tibos: no, he's been that way since before we started
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:25  Pie: i'm thingking that too, Scott

2010-05-21 17:38:26  Pie: xD

2010-05-21 17:38:49  Pascal: you mean reading
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:51  Zorg: Ok another topic, Legacy Affairs
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:54  KevinMp: dude... just rename it spam forum. filter the swears, but allow edgier content
 +
2010-05-21 17:38:58  Bernard721: OK so just putting it out there... Speak up TC {XD} Private Message me
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:07  Zorg: Do you guys want a clan that checks staff logs and reviews staff decisions or not?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:13  Tibos: yes!
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:16  jonkers: yes
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:16  Ross: damn right

2010-05-21 17:39:17  Risque: Yes

2010-05-21 17:39:19  Bernard721: ... LA?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:20  007Ben: that would be nice
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:23  Pascal: what is the purpose right now?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:26  Pie: .. we already have one
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:28  Bernard721: Legacy Affairs....?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:28  Pie: and it does just that
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:30  Bernard721: :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:32  KevinMp: we need to see legacy affairs
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:33  zerocomman: assuming the members aren't just going to kiss up to staff all the time
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:34  Pie: if anyone's confused
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:34  Scott: LA is inactive right now
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:39  Angel: LA needs more members and to be made more public, not many people know of it's existance...
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:40  Ross: who? FatTony?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:40  Zorg: Basically 2 members of LA are inactive, most issues covered are stuff that could just be ticketed to Lucas anyway.
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:45  Ross: he might aswell be staff
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:50  Food: I have a question, Does Legacy affairs get used as is?
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:51  Ross: you need more less biased views
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:57  bcfcespley: exactly ross lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:39:58  Pie: LA gets used
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:00  Ross: more less?
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:02  Ross: anyway
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:02  bcfcespley: about to say that
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:04  Ross: point stands
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:05  Zorg: Legacy Affairs right now raises 1 issue every 2 months or so apparently to Lucas
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:05  jonkers: Maybe have a set number from each gang?
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:11  Pie: I get approached by faelust occasionally
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:16  Bernard721: I went to LA with a legitimate question, and I've never gotten a reply
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:18  bcfcespley: please
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:26  bcfcespley: whats the point in having it
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:29  Zorg: FatTony and calciomoti do not reply to messages much at all.
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:50  Zorg: The idea seemed good at the time but it never really got used as it was intended.
 +
2010-05-21 17:40:53  Tibos: idk about Calcio, but FT is pretty active as a mod
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:00  Angel: I propose more active/responsive members who are rustworthy to give as non-biased pov as possible.
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:03  bcfcespley: we have a staff team, some biased players opinion matters not much to me
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:06  Zorg: He is active as a mod but he takes 2-3 days to reply to me via PM :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:07  Angel: trust*
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:10  Scott: alot of peopel go to faelust
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:12  Ross: thats the only reason FT is active anymore
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:20  Scott: I have to say she is one player that gets things done
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:21  Ross: hes power drunk lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:25  Scott: and is fair on both sides
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:26  darp: Legacy Affairs has been both timely and effective for me thus far. Would like a few more members from each gang... maybe some public presence, but not sure.
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:40  Zorg: We could just shutdown Legacy Affairs... and hand that job to the Elders...
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:41  Risque: Public presence is a good idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:47  Food: I don't think we need LA to be honest, why go through all the trouble of finding trust worthy players when we can just make sure we have trust worthy staff to begin with?

2010-05-21 17:41:50  Bernard721: Oh boy... Circular discussion
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:51  KevinMp: i guess that could work
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:58  Pie: wouldn't that include giving Elders access to RC..?
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:59  Pie: &gt;.&gt;
 +
2010-05-21 17:41:59  Tibos: sounds like a resonable idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:00  bcfcespley: I went to LA before, load of rubbish got no replies at all
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:02  Ross: yeah thats a good idea zorg
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:03  KevinMp: elders could do both :)
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:07  Zorg: No, just access to admin_log's
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:10  Scott: hmm
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:10  zerocomman: i agree. it makes sense to consolidate
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:11  Bernard721: That could work
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:11  Zorg: and forum_logs and such
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:17  Scott: Ross with access to RC logs
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:19  jonkers: That leads us to who should be elders.
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:21  bcfcespley: hahaha
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:22  Scott: i see a car crash
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:24  Ross: whats RC?
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:31  Pie: move them out of RC? or just copy them? o.0
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:34  Tibos: but in that case, i would reduce the number of people in the CoE
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:36  Scott: Staff System
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:41  Scott: right
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:42  Zorg: Then Elders could discuss staff decisions when there are no updates to talk about.
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:49  Ross: sounds good
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:53  KevinMp: ::yes::
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:54  Zorg: This is the point in the discussion where I wanted Lucas' feedback as well -_-
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:55  Pie: i don't like that idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:55  Food: Sounds like a plan.
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:56  darp: Mmm... worth trying.
 +
2010-05-21 17:42:56  Bernard721: I approve
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:07  Ross: Lucas is too busy swiping off
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:15  Risque: Can Elders veto a staff decision, by majority vote and with good reason?
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:25  Scott: Not really ..
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:27  Zorg: Erm, no...
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:30  Ross: Lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:32  Tibos: {xd}
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:33  bcfcespley: {XD}{XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:40  Scott: if someone does an offense
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:40  Zorg: Again... NOT a democracy, lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:45  Scott: then theyre going to get punished
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:46  Pie: Staff should enforce the rules, and be reviewed by the Staff Manager..
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:46  Bernard721: 1000c to vote against my Ban
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:47  Bernard721: Gogogogogo!
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:47  Pie: Lucas
 +
2010-05-21 17:43:57  Ross: Lucas should be fired
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:00  Ross: Lucas...
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:04  bcfcespley: promote scott lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:09  bcfcespley: only one who bothers around here
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:09  Scott: you cant exactly say "he fell asleep whislt on the enter button" if i -4 someome that has 3 spam offences this year
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:09  Food: ^^ Agree with Pie.
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:18  Scott: ive heard that excuse 5 times now
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:24  Zorg: yes and Lucas should be active in the Elders forum in their review of logs
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:26  Scott: i fell asleep .. my ass
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:47  Zorg: We're not talking about giving Elders any power over staff decisions... and we dont really have anything to hide. :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:44:57  Zorg: Most staff decisions are based on a pre-determined ruleset written by the staff manager anyway.
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:06  Ross: except Deegs corpse?
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:26  Bernard721: The Staff Manager seems really active....
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:30  Scott: Deegs threads have pretty much been reviewed by Lucas and are upto date
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:30  Tibos: so we get to check up on staff and tell Lucas when he needs to spank someone?
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:35  Scott: and Lucas is active
 +
2010-05-21 17:45:39  Zorg: Account Admins collect evidence, review account history and determine a punishment based on rules defined by Deeg and Lucas... that should be easily defendable if questioned. :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:03  Pie: I think that a group as large as the Elders wouldn't be capable of making decisions on Staff issues
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:14  Pie: if there is a group, i think expanding LA slightly is the best option
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:18  Risque: That was part of my point, Zorg. Staff isn't all knowing O.o
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:19  Scott: Elders will be reduced once inactive have been kicked by myself :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:21  Zorg: They wouldn't be making decisions though.
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:27  darp: Then expand LA a bit. It has worked very well for me.
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:27  Pie: i meant
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:33  Pie: reviewing staff decisions when needed
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:53  Pie: Lucas does the same job as LA
 +
2010-05-21 17:46:55  Angel: so if LA turns into Elders job aswell, what will decide Elders, wold you use the method i suggested? Oh applications then reviewing within the Elders forum?
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:04  Scott: Bit of both Angel
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:05  Ross: or, incoprorate less biased views and let the elders do it?
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:20  Scott: Elders has alot of bias people in it :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:21  Ross: and give them more purpose in the process
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:21  Angel: to me that sounds like the best approach
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:22  Pie: the expanded LA wouldn't be biased
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:28  Ross: its universal to gangs though
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:32  Angel: but they are just giving input
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:32  Pie: I think getting respected community members would be good
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:35  Scott: Ross you cant exactly say you're unbiased :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:35  Angel: like always
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:39  KevinMp: Pie yes :O
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:39  Zorg: Yes the problem is players dont trust a single individual to be unbiased and watch over staff... they didn't trust Deeg and I doubt they trust Lucas any more.
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:41  Angel: it is ultimately a staff decision
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:47  Bernard721: PLayers should have access to their own personal crime history
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:51  Bernard721: That was really random
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:52  Scott: Nope
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:52  Bernard721: But yea.
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:56  Scott: Not happening
 +
2010-05-21 17:47:57  Zorg: Making the staff process more transparent would solve that.
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:05  darp: Agreed with Zorg on both points.
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:10  Pie: But who do they think chooses who's in LA, Zorg?
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:21  Pie: the same person that chooses who the staff manager is..
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:28  Zorg: When you assign overseeing power to a single person, most players will assume they're friends with all the staff and in it for the power, etc, etc
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:42  Zorg: I picked the LA :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:48  Pie: you also picked Lucas
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:49  Zorg: Originally the staff manager couldnt even view their forum
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:52  darp: You don't have to pull the curtain all the way back for every one to see, but there is benefit to people thinking they have some insight or influence on things.
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:53  Ross: to be fair though, Lucas is more likely to just accept the staffs decision than turn around and say it was wrong
 +
2010-05-21 17:48:59  bcfcespley: yeah me sucking zorg of had me nothing to do with being able to do graphics
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:00  Pie: so why shouldn't they doubt your decisons on one and not the other?
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:05  Scott: Actually
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:10  KevinMp: bcfcespley -_- lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:17  Scott: Lucas reverted 2 of my decisions when I was rank 2
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:26  Scott: He does his job.
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:31  darp: And Staff managers have *never* done due dilligence that I've seen in investigating or communicationg staff/player issues.
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:34  Bernard721: Checks and balances are a mighty thing
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:35  bcfcespley: BUT
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:39  Tibos: groups are more trustworthy than a single person
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:41  bcfcespley: i think scott would do a better job
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:48  Zorg: Of course Lucas is, thats how chains of command work. I'd always side with staff even if they were wrong, i'd then yell at them in private after...
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:50  Scott: I'm fine as development manager
 +
2010-05-21 17:49:57  Ross: Lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:04  Pie: It's true.. xD
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:10  darp: Oh dear.
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:11  Zorg: You have to present a unified front as a staff team.
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:11  bcfcespley: lol ive been yelled at {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:16  Zorg: And keep the arguements in private.
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:37  Scott: Right so to recap
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:38  Bernard721: Not to be that guy, and bring in politics... but I mean a congress of elected representives, like the LA would be a great thing to have to review staff decisions
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:42  Scott: Bigger LA team or Edlers ?
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:48  Ross: Elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:49  Bernard721: Elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:50  Scott: Elders*
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:51  bcfcespley: Elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:53  Pascal: elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:54  Tibos: i sai 16 elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:54  Pie: Larger selection of LA
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:55  Angel: Elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:55  007Ben: elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:50:59  Scott: Or
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:00  Food: LA
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:07  Scott: one sec
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:09  Scott: i have an idea
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:15  Zorg: I just think making staff decisions public to the Elders... and the rules that govern staff decisions public to the Elders... would lead to very little discussion on their part as they would understand our position.
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:16  Pie: a group as large as the elders would be inefficient.. -.-
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:18  Scott: La can only be picked from elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:19  darp: Hmm... outvoted. :P Was going to say bigger LA team, but try with the Elders. See if it solves the inactivity problem.
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:26  Zorg: Unless our position is in some way flawed, in which case they have every right to argue with it.
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:32  Scott: so youd have to progress to elder before you could have a shot at LA ?
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:43  Pie: Pick LA from elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:45  Pie: problem solved
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:46  darp: Or LA grabbed from Elders could work,.
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:46  Bernard721: That could work too
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:49  KevinMp: that sounds fair i guess
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:52  Pie: darp : win
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:53  Bernard721: A higher chain
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:54  Pie: 8)
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:54  Scott: thats what i said darp
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:55  Food: That works Scott.
 +
2010-05-21 17:51:55  Scott: XD
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:05  Zorg: Did darp just out-vote everybody with one vote? wtf
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:14  Ross: how would that change anything?
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:17  Pie: i beat him to saying it dammit
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:20  Ross: it would still be faelust, FT and calcio...
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:21  Tibos: no, he has a good point
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:23  jonkers: Have we decided on who should be elders?
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:24  Scott: Nope
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:29  Scott: once we de-weed elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:31  Bernard721: A meeting in ONline Chat of elders can solve so many things.. I mean just look at this.. 4 representives from 4 gangs having a discussion
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:37  Zorg: Inactive Elders will be removed, the remaining Elders....
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:41  Scott: im sure La will start to collect members from my teah
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:41  Zorg: will decide who the new Elders will be
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:43  darp: lol... I'm lagging a bit. :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:47  Ross: right
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:48  Scott: team*
 +
2010-05-21 17:52:49  Zorg: and then all those people combined... will decide who the LA people will be
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:01  KevinMp: sounds like a plan ::yes::
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:07  Scott: ok
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:08  darp: Go with that and review next LegCon.
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:15  Risque: I concur
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:15  jonkers: What about a max number of elders?
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:18  Zorg: And how do we suggest we make the secret group within the secret Elders public knowledge to those confused as to why they were banned? :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:26  Rotten: like 50 elders max
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:38  bcfcespley: ok zorg just confused me {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:40  Ross: have an LA rep?
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:41  Tibos: 50 is a big number :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:42  jonkers: I think 50 is too many
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:47  Pie: a rep sounds good
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:47  Ross: who is responsible for explaining
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:52  Zorg: It will stay around 20 or so people
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:53  Pie: With a thread somehere
 +
2010-05-21 17:53:59  KevinMp: 50 = too many. try... 20? ish?
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:00  Pie: or a page displaying information
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:09  jonkers: What about a max number per gang?
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:14  Ross: no
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:14  bcfcespley: no jonkers
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:16  Scott: Hopefully elder control can be added to RC in the day :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:18  bcfcespley: because people do move gangs :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:19  darp: Community Menu link to a page?
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:20  Zorg: Elders and LA are independant of gangs. :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:22  Tibos: CoE has nothing to do with gangs
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:26  Bernard721: Ok.. so we're having an applation process into the LA? How are Elders elected... did we resolve that yet?
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:27  Zorg: I dont want it to have any attachment to gangs at all
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:33  Angel: Zorg Elders picking who becomes Elder would like to biased choosing... If there was a staff member to take it interest, then brought to the attention of the Elders, it would feel less like a lolly bag, picking the best ones you like...
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:36  Pie: create an open forum where the new LA can review Staff and the discussion be viewed by everyone
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:41  Pie: but only the LA can post..
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:44  Scott: Right now angel
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:45  Zorg: As far as I'm concerned one of the rules of the Elder forum will be that gangs dont exist there.
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:53  Scott: i like the idea of elders suggesting and applications
 +
2010-05-21 17:54:53  Ross: fair enough
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:03  Zorg: ooo like a security forum only instead of staff using it...
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:04  Zorg: LA members?
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:08  bcfcespley: lets face it how is heggs not in coe? {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:08  jonkers: sounds good
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:13  Pie: yep
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:16  Scott: heggs is in coe ...
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:17  Food: Elders reommand people, scott reviews them and makes a dicision?
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:20  bcfcespley: oh {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:20  Ross: she is...
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:25  Ross: BCFCEEJIT
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:29  Zorg: could try that I guess... like a public forum run by legacy affairs
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:33  Scott: see i know my own members 8~)
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:36  Scott: 8) * :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:40  Pie: but in security, everyone can post.. in the LA one, remove the option to post for anybody else
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:43  darp: Good.
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:46  KevinMp: so... players nominate people. staff then chooses from those
 +
2010-05-21 17:55:55  KevinMp: and they become elders, who choose LA?
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:01  Zorg: erm no
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:02  zerocomman: elders choose la
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:04  Ross: elders choose the elders...
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:08  KevinMp: o other way around. oops
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:13  KevinMp: but same thing?
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:15  Zorg: Elders choose Elders... Elders choose LA.
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:15  Scott: We're going in circles here
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:23  Zorg: If you're not an Elder... you have no say in either
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:23  KevinMp: :O intriguing :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:29  Pie: xD
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:34  Ross: Lol
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:38  Zorg: I asked if people wanted to keep it an elitist invite only group, you guys said yes :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:39  Bernard721: So we're weeding out the inactives, and they will eventually pick new ones
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:40  Tibos: power hungry old people
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:47  Scott: I'm guessing myself and Zorg will run Elders and Lucas and Zorg will run LA still
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:55  KevinMp: but on what grounds do they pick these people?
 +
2010-05-21 17:56:59  Pie: Elders i thought were running LA
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:00  Angel: staff gathers those that are interested, filters out the 'not going to happen', then brings rhe list to the attention of the Elders, they decide who amongst the list who would best fit the role, the staff then either agrees with them, suggests an alternat
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:01  KevinMp: what prereqs should they have?
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:10  Angel: ive, or decides against it, and says why
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:11  Zorg: Erm, I doubt I'll be involved in Legacy Affairs... staff decisions have never been something I'm interested in :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:17  Zorg: that's why I have staff and a staff manager :(
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:23  Bernard721: {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:30  Scott: So you're going to butcher my elders
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:32  Zorg: I just want to make cool stuff
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:42  Food: Lol Zorg. {xd}
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:45  Scott: Saying cool, my flag people :d
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:54  KevinMp: scott... shush {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 17:57:59  KevinMp: we discuss your flag latah! :O
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:01  Bernard721: Already been an hour... lets get to the fun stuff...
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:06  Zorg: Ok, hmm there was one last thing I wanted to talk about.
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:23  Zorg: ...lemme remember what it was
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:29  Risque: ::roll::
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:31  KevinMp: something about wl perhaps?
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:32  jonkers: :/
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:32  Scott: Dev, wiki?
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:34  Food: Zorg getting old. :O
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:39  Tibos: so....recap Elders pick Elders, Elders pick LA people, Security Forum comes back for others to submit wrong staff decisions?
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:39  Scott: Destorying apart of the game?
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:53  Bernard721: WL/Duel System/Abilities time {ebil}
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:57  Ross: combat achievements :D
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:57  Pie: that's not what i was aiming at, Tibos
 +
2010-05-21 17:58:58  KevinMp: YAY!
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:10  Scott: Ross getting his account removed :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:11  Pie: Security Forum returns for LA to discuss, with everybody else onlooking
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:21  Scott: Pie
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:24  Scott: gtfo off my color
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:27  Tibos: isn't that a bit public?
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:30  Pie: Zorg told me to use Purple
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:36  bcfcespley: zorg could you tell us the systems your working on, in what order and the rough time scale?
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:37  Pie: Why shouldn't it be public?
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:50  Pie: how can people have confidence in something they know nothing about?
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:51  KevinMp: ok we all wanna no when the BIG update is comin :P
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:56  Zorg: Yeah the new stuff I'm working on I guess.
 +
2010-05-21 17:59:57  Scott: bcfc right now, Main Page and bug fixes :P and duel
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:01  Tibos: that's how LA was and darp was pleased with it
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:07  bcfcespley: no what i mean is
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:12  Pie: And he was about the only person
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:15  bcfcespley: when will he get around to say achievements
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:22  Zorg: Ok first, the current player count.
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:31  Zorg: It hasn't actually dropped, as such.
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:32  Scott: Next few months bcfc
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:41  KevinMp: oo before we go to far...
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:46  Zorg: What has happened is we've stopped advertising and I've stopped paying attention to our voting sites.
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:50  KevinMp: have you considered in game ads yet?
 +
2010-05-21 18:00:52  Zorg: Gold listing Legacy and stuff.
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:12  Scott: ...
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:13  KevinMp: Hmm... im trying to think about how i found this game
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:16  Zorg: Basically this is the result of playing the game myself at various level brackets and being deeply unsatisified with the experience.
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:17  Scott: we're not having ingame ads
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:25  Zorg: It makes me not want to spend money advertising right now.
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:29  KevinMp: i dont even remember how i found it
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:29  Pascal: get more ways to get subtime, so we have more advertisements means more new players?
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:31  bcfcespley: advertisment vid on youtube, its free!
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:36  Scott: bcfc
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:43  Bernard721: Advertising what though Bcf?
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:46  Bernard721: Text?
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:47  Bernard721: :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:47  Scott: how is watching a screen on a browser based game interestic
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:49  Scott: OMG
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:54  Zorg: The old player count was the result of the current player count + the constant new players coming and going.
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:55  Scott: the square changed coor *signs up*
 +
2010-05-21 18:01:55  KevinMp: that comes down to selling it :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:02  Scott: color*
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:03  bcfcespley: not like that you idiot
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:16  bcfcespley: get someone to make a good video
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:16  Angel: work on the achievements
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:18  Food: Stay on topic please.
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:24  Scott: Cant exactly make Legacy look like anything other than what it is
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:24  Zorg: So the drop is purely the result in the stopping of advertising, I could get the player count back to 3000-4000 by starting again.
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:25  Angel: so people will want to refer people they like
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:31  Angel: and people will get along easier
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:33  Zorg: But I'd rather wait until the new combat and things are done.
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:38  bcfcespley: you can scott lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:39  Zorg: And relaunch the game with new advertisements and such.
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:40  Tibos: bcf, i'm sure that if you or someone else makes a good video, Zorg would use it
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:42  bcfcespley: its called false advertising
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:43  KevinMp: can we offer monetary vaule to those who refer people?
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:47  bcfcespley: movie makers do it all the time {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:49  KevinMp: other than achievements, like...
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:49  Pascal: well get more ways to get subtime...
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:52  Zorg: bcfc stop
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:54  Scott: Thats illegal by UK law and legacy will be sued
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:55  KevinMp: 1k per person that gets to level 10?
 +
2010-05-21 18:02:58  Zorg: Like I said I have no interest in advertising at the moment
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:01  HappyDays: have we discussed revenue ideas for the game yet to ensure zorg can spend more time on the game ???
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:10  Zorg: My revenue is fine.
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:15  Bernard721: Referal system needs an overhaul...
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:21  Zorg: For now anyway.
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:25  HappyDays: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:37  HappyDays: So it would be of benefit to ensure a steady stream
 +
2010-05-21 18:03:41  HappyDays: For a rainy day
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:08  Zorg: I'm not concerned about money, I want to make the game far more fun especially at early levels before relaunching it with new advertisements.
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:18  KevinMp: Hmmm
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:21  Ross: get the achievements done zorg
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:22  Zorg: That is what all the planned changes are about.
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:29  Ross: always adds a fun dimension
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:31  KevinMp: maybe make the first few levels easier to get?
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:33  Zorg: Again achievements are low priority
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:34  Food: I agree wi9th ross, we need achievements.
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:38  Bernard721: I desire much more in depth role play..
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:42  zerocomman: kevinmp this game is already easy enough
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:45  Zorg: I'm talking about rebuilding the core stuff that makes the game, not working on small side things
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:47  KevinMp: cuz when i logged onto dev, i kind of gave up on leveling.
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:48  Pie: Bernard : Join DF
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:54  Bernard721: I'll pass.
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:55  Pie: they kill you if you don't partake in it
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:56  KevinMp: oo the core. ok
 +
2010-05-21 18:04:59  zerocomman: it's just boring. if eveyone is honest, they are here 90% for the community
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:04  Tibos: {ebil}
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:20  Pascal: kind of quests for them? like attack your enemy, congrats you get 100 credits
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:26  Scott: yeah but the community cant exactly help everything
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:28  Pascal: just basics would do
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:29  KevinMp: what were u planning for the new game overhaul?
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:35  Scott: 20% of the community cry about legacy daily
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:37  KevinMp: we need to knwo about that to incorporate more stuff :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:41  Zorg: Yes the new combat alone will make warfare and leveling more fun... the other changes... removal of stats, shops and some others are designed to decrease needless complexity in systems.
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:44  Pie: All details were posted in blogs? o.0
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:53  KevinMp: honestly... we should see how that goes first
 +
2010-05-21 18:05:58  Food: Achievements to me : Being able to work towards something and goals, also brings back some competetiveness(Real word?) to the game, which would bring back alot of activity from old and new players.
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:09  Bernard721: Make a new tutorial system, where you earn credits/ability points/and stat points for new signups
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:13  zerocomman: food nailed it
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:18  HappyDays: is the level 80 to 85 thing in the pipeline
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:18  Food: I think achievements have alot of potential.
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:24  Scott: people have yet to earn the current achievements
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:25  Zorg: Yes I agree, achievements worked really well in games like World of Warcraft.
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:31  HappyDays: I liked the idea of fighting my way to the top
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:43  HappyDays: but dropping if I went inACTIVE
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:46  Zorg: But I can't add achievements for systems that are going to be vastly changed by the rebuild.
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:52  HappyDays: Gives you something to do when you return again
 +
2010-05-21 18:06:58  KevinMp: so we need the new system in first
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:02  Zorg: HappyDays that idea would suck with the current combat system though.
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:03  Scott: ontop of that theyre not working correctly atm
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:08  Tibos: HD that's the spectral item idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:15  Zorg: The new one I'm designing takes a genuine degree of skill to be good at though, so could work.
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:27  Angel: how will it be more fun? are you going to change the look? the same applies with FT's point in the forums, this game is text based, it goes page by page, how can that change? what is this system you seem to be working on? and why wasn't the great tertis
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:31  Angel: idea used? :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:40  Food: No offence to the idea HD suggested, but that will get old quick..just like spectral.
 +
2010-05-21 18:07:52  KevinMp: april fools joke ftw {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:03  Tibos: text game != non-interactive
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:09  HappyDays: thats not my idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:16  HappyDays: and i did not suggest it :p
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:24  Angel: it is as interactive as it gets
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:25  Food: I know, can't recall who did. :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:31  Zorg: But yeah I've been adding new stuff on top of the game for years and our player count hasn't increased. This is what caused me to take a step back and look at what was wrong with the stuff we have in place already.
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:37  Angel: so thoughts for 'more' is limited
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:42  Zorg: No amount of new stuff is going to fix the problems, it's time to rebuild the old stuff.
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:49  Scott: like clans :(
 +
2010-05-21 18:08:58  Zorg: no not like clans
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:01  Zorg: clans again are a side system
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:06  Ross: go Zorg Thatcher!
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:09  HappyDays: zorg can we have a buddy system game wide
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:13  Scott: but theyre still old :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:20  HappyDays: for example noob 1 signs up and gets sent a mail
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:25  Zorg: It's the core of the game I'm addressing with these changes, stats, items, fighting, warfare, turns, jobs... the stuff people spend most of their time using.
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:30  Scott: We have guides for that HappyDays
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:37  HappyDays: saying happysays would be delighted to get to know you
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:43  Ross: zorg, is the combat system highest priority then?
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:43  Angel: no amount of new stuff is going to fix the problems, you said it yourself, why spend all this time changing it, if the problem remains?
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:48  HappyDays: drop him a mail if you wish
 +
2010-05-21 18:09:53  HappyDays: to beuild friendships
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:00  HappyDays: build
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:09  HappyDays: and so creating bonds
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:09  Pie: nothing is being added on..
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:12  Pie: it's being rebuilt..
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:12  Zorg: Anyway I've explained all this in my blog already.
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:17  Tibos: indeed
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:34  Scott: ok
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:48  Scott: I'm now goign to ask gangs to raise any points
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:50  Scott: so DF
 +
2010-05-21 18:10:56  Scott: do you have any issues you want to raise
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:01  jonkers: we do
 +

 +
2010-05-21 18:11:11  jonkers: Tibos wil out line the main points
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:11  Scott: Go ahead
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:19  KevinMp: Nows ur chance BoD. send me ur stuff. i already marked whats in the forums
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:38  jonkers: Kevin DF are talking.
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:44  Tibos: to blunt it out, we think there needs to be a more drastic cost to switching gangs
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:49  KevinMp: :*( lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:52  Tibos: or perhaps a change alltogether
 +
2010-05-21 18:11:57  Scott: 500c is alot to a level 20
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:00  bcfcespley: you werent complaining last year
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:01  Zorg: that was the point of gang reps
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:05  jonkers: or a total ban on changing gang during a WL round.
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:07  bcfcespley: when everyone was joining you
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:07  Zorg: to make it harder to switch
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:13  Tibos: bcf, i actually was ;)
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:15  Zorg: hush bcfc
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:26  Tibos: anyway, 2 ideas crossed our minds
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:35  Tibos: 1) increase cost for multiple joins in a period of time
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:48  SlickVic: I would suggest a time limit on joining another after leaving one.
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:53  Tibos: ex: join DF cost 500c. Join OC a week later cost 1000c
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:57  Scott: So for example 500c the first time.. 750 the second and so on ?
 +
2010-05-21 18:12:59  SlickVic: 2 weeks or something
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:11  Scott: Is gang hopping a big problem ?
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:19  Tibos: and the cost gets reset after a small while
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:23  Scott: i mean. Its a cost to one gang but a gain to another?
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:26  Pie: it's a game.. if yuo're not having fun in a gang you joined, why should you have to stay there? -.-
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:27  Food: It's a game, people should be free to come and go as they wish on here, the system we have now is fine.
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:34  zerocomman: however, it drives who dominates the wl each round
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:40  zerocomman: i've been both on winning and losing sides of that
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:40  Tibos: another idea is from football
 +
2010-05-21 18:13:41  SlickVic: I don't consider it a problem
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:00  Tibos: to minimize the interference in WL strategy, have a transfer window of 2 weeks at the start of each round
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:01  Scott: ah but WF isnt just the members
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:03  Ross: competitive balance is worse than MLB in this game {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:06  Tibos: and 2 weeks after joining the game
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:07  Scott: tatics come into play
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:23  zerocomman: tactics are useless if you lack sheer numbers scott
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:29  Ross: you need to make the repurcussions for leaving gangs much higher
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:31  Angel: you don't penalise people staying and you shouldn't penalise them leaving, last time i checked, there is nothing against the rules about leaving a gang, just getting kicked by it...
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:34  Zorg: I dont think forcing players to stay in gangs they do not wish to be in by cost or time limits solves anything.
 +
2010-05-21 18:14:38  Scott: I've seen a team of 3 take down a building
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:00  Scott: when i was a player myself and base would camp hq's with cloak so lower members could square grab
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:04  Ross: or more incentives to stay in gangs longer
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:09  Ross: gang loyalty honors banners please :D
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:14  Tibos: that's a fair idea Ross
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:19  Scott: Like banners?
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:25  Ross: indeed
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:34  Scott: hmm
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:35  Zorg: I think if all the gangs find it a problem they could come with ideas between themselves to stop it.
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:36  Rotten: Ross just wants more banners
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:36  HappyDays: who cares about banners
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:41  Ross: i do
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:43  Angel: that doesn't help
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:48  Pascal: I do
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:49  Angel: as soon as they get the banner
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:51  Tibos: @Zorg in the Senate Forum :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:15:59  Angel: they will want to leave to get the othr gang related banners
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:01  Ross: i've been in TC over 4 years
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:06  Ross: noone has na excuse to leave gangs
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:10  Ross: an*
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:12  HappyDays: sure they do
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:21  Zorg: The problem is when someone leaves your gang you're annoyed, when someone joins your gang you're happy... you give little consideration to who they gang hopped through to get to you.
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:21  Bernard721: Yikes.
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:24  Food: Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Time in gang, etc..going to be under the new achievements Bcfc?
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:44  Ross: just have it as an honours banner
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:46  Zorg: If I was running a gang I'd black list those who left after a short period of time, and then deny them entry if they tried to come back...
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:48  bcfcespley: yeah food i have made it
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:49  Zorg: But that's just me
 +
2010-05-21 18:16:50  Rotten: I have a idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:03  bcfcespley: i did make loyalty achievements
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:05  Tibos: you banned that Zorg :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:11  Food: There you go. :O
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:14  Rotten: Could we have some sort of drafting for gangs? Like all the hoppers could be held in a draft
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:25  Ross: wouldnt work
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:30  HappyDays: how would that work rotten ??
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:30  Ross: too much backlash
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:33  KevinMp: they would leave for the gang they wanna b in :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:38  Zorg: Make a rule... if you leave this gang and then come back you must spend 2 months at rank 1 before progressing...
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:41  Angel: there you go again penalising peoples chooses to be different...
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:47  Rotten: not my idea hd just passing on the word
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:49  Scott: The problem with gang hopping is
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:50  bcfcespley: ranks are useless lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:53  Scott: its their choice to
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:54  bcfcespley: its just a number to me
 +
2010-05-21 18:17:57  Ross: noone cares enough for ranks anymore
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:04  zerocomman: yea rank 1 as punishment does nothing
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:07  Scott: if they dont liek one gang they will continue playing if they switch
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:08  Pie: not your idea?
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:09  Pie: %u05D3
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:15  Pie: 23:17:37 &#91;Rotten&#93; I have a idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:16  Bernard721: Going to cut my time here short... The discussions seem to be going really swimmingly.. I'll enjoy skimming the log tomorrow
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:39  Zorg: I just dont see any suggestions that fix anything, if it is a problem.
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:43  Food: I don't think there should be any penalty for leaving gangs, as I said..it's a game, people should be free to come and go, each gang has there own merits and appeals, I see no harm in people leaving one to check out another.
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:53  Bernard721: Adios everyone ::yes::
 +
2010-05-21 18:18:54  Zorg: You think someone is going to come help you in the wasteland if they're forced to stay due to a time limit or lack of credits?
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:01  zerocomman: someone in df suggested that if someone switches gangs mid-map, they are not allowed access to wl until reset
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:02  Angel: it's not a problem...
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:05  HappyDays: oooooooooo did we discuss gang banks
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:14  Angel: If it annoys you big deal, it happens everywhere
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:26  Angel: people leave jobs for reasons that are none of your business
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:28  Scott: one gang at a time happydays
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:30  Zorg: ...again zero, people are not going to be forced in to helping a gang they do not wish to be part of
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:35  Pie: denying access to wl is a horrible idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:36  Tibos: fair enough
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:45  Zorg: Forcing them to stay until the WL reset would only make them if anything... try to sabotage your efforts
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:47  zerocomman: just speaking up for my peeps
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:53  Pie: we know
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:53  Tibos: should we move on to our second point?
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:54  Pie: xD
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:58  bcfcespley: oh thats what i wanted to discuss, the stand storage system {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:19:59  Zorg: yes
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:01  Scott: Yeah
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:06  Scott: before we go in circles again
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:17  Tibos: this is a rather touchy subject as it involves a lot of coding
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:26  Scott: heh
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:35  Tibos: i recently started a thread in Main Forum regarding the creation of a 5th gang
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:37  Pie: i can hear the answer already
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:52  Zorg: The player count is lower than when gangs were implemented and you want a new gang?
 +
2010-05-21 18:20:52  Tibos: this has received quite a lot of support from players and very little critiques
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:26  Tibos: yes and the main argument is that it would enchance the joy of warfare :D
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:36  Scott: WF would need a total rework
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:36  Angel: you try to abolish gang hopping, and yet add another gang to hop too?
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:41  darp: lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:42  Zorg: I can give you plenty of critique if you wish.
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:45  bcfcespley: {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:45  Scott: as most maps are catered for 4 hq's
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:45  Tibos: and it would increase the usefullness of the gang ranks
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:47  Rotten: make it 20x20 for 5 gangs
 +
2010-05-21 18:21:59  Tibos: sure,
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:01  KevinMp: would a square make sense anymore at that point?
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:09  Zorg: For a start... blue, red, yellow, green and purple for avatars
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:13  KevinMp: new maps would have to be created
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:15  Zorg: The only color left for a new gang is Orange
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:20  Zorg: bcfc is turning in his grave at that idea
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:23  Pie: purple for staff*?
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:25  Tibos: Brown
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:25  bcfcespley: lmao
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:30  Angel: i don't want to see a 5th gang
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:32  bcfcespley: shut up {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:32  darp: Even were it a good idea (and it's not) before all the updates isn't really the time to be thinking about this.
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:34  Zorg: Brown is just dark orange -_-
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:39  zerocomman: so we don't have a 5th gang just because bcfc doesn't like orange :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:57  bcfcespley: he was joking...
 +
2010-05-21 18:22:59  Zorg: No we dont have a 5th gang because Orange is very close to yellow and red. -_-
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:04  darp: Zorg, put the hammer down.
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:04  Scott: You dont have a 5th gang because we need to see a real reason for you to need one
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:07  Zorg: But no thats not the only problem
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:33  Zorg: For a start what do you think a 5th gang would address? what long term problems are going to be fixed by the number 5 instead of 4?... soon it would be populated by people I'm sure you'd dislike just as much
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:49  Tibos: gang alliances
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:49  Zorg: Soon it will have a council just like the other gangs and be no different... it wont be new it will just be ANOTHER gang
 +
2010-05-21 18:23:54  Tibos: boredom in WL
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:03  Angel: we don't want gang alliances
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:05  bcfcespley: it would be like engl;and and immigrants...
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:05  Scott: WL is catered for 4 HQ's
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:07  darp: Only you can prevent forest fires... and gang alliances.
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:08  bcfcespley: over crowded!!
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:09  Zorg: Again not even close to long term solutions, in 6 months you'll just want a 6th gang
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:16  Angel: If everyone played 1v1v1v1 problem is fixed
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:18  KevinMp: it would only be a temporary fix, and thats not something we can take away as easily as put it in the system
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:22  darp: And actually 6 gangs makes more sense than 5. :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:29  Zorg: exactly you're talking about a temporary fix
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:41  Zorg: one that will create more long term problems than anything
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:48  KevinMp: once we put it in the system, you cant take it out
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:50  bcfcespley: maps would have to be re made, new systems, new clothing, new weapons, new everything
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:53  bcfcespley: i just dont see it {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:53  Angel: then they'd go for lucky number 7
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:55  Scott: the imbalence of gangs for the first few months :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:24:58  Angel: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:02  Scott: inbalance*
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:03  KevinMp: people would want to remain in their 5th gang, and would get pissy if it was taken away
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:05  Angel: 4 is enough
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:16  Scott: people get pissy at anything
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:17  Zorg: yes you're talking a ton of work for lots of people to make it happen all for a fix that will amuse people for a couple of months
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:19  Zorg: and then be forgotten
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:28  Scott: right
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:34  Scott: ill say thats that idea wrapped up
 +
2010-05-21 18:25:40  jonkers: Next idea?

 +
2010-05-21 18:26:26  Zorg: ...apart from Spectral Items, that was just something shinny to distract people.

2010-05-21 18:27:54  Zorg: I was sitting here for 2 minutes waiting for you to type it dude
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:10  zerocomman: ability to counteract radiance
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:20  zerocomman: and lastly, staff favor should not benefit combat
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:29  Angel: not your turn zero
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:34  Zorg: this kind of stuff can go in the suggestions forum.
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:35  Scott: +3 and more is really rare
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:37  Zorg: :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:43  007Ben: i really dont see the point of needing to ask permission to attack people with the new attack system. and with free hunting everyone would get to Av in no-time
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:51  Scott: ask.. permission ?
 +
2010-05-21 18:28:56  Zorg: ^- thats more like the stuff i wanted to hear
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:00  Zorg: Not just suggestion forum stuff
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:08  007Ben: like they need to acceot in the duel
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:12  Scott: oh yeah
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:19  Scott: sorry my mind is in the old system XD
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:22  Zorg: The new combat system requires both sides of the fight to be active as it requires the selection of abilities....
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:28  007Ben: like this is an assassin game, i dont need to ask to attack someone :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:31  Food: Thanks ben, stealing my one thing I had in mind. *cries*
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:39  SlickVic: for all levels?
 +
2010-05-21 18:29:41  007Ben: lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:14  Zorg: So the alternative would be you attack people who are ultimately defenceless...offline even... which is pointless.
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:24  Scott: same system we have now..
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:43  Scott: so really wed just be putting new GFx and coding but keeping the old system
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:53  Food: Wondering, can't we have a duel system and a PVP system like we have now?
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:54  Tibos: i think we really need to see it in action before we can criticize it
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:56  Pascal: isn't that the same hunting will going to be then?
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:56  SlickVic: so then hunting would be the main leveling system then?
 +
2010-05-21 18:30:58  Zorg: Basically the alternative for someone online would be a pop up that interupted whatever you're doing saying... you're being attacked now you must go to the attack screen and defend yourself.
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:25  Pie: can me and Scott have a duel on Dev?
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:26  007Ben: or the dueling system could be a way to fight for c's?
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:34  007Ben: like a bet
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:36  zerocomman: the sooner you roll this out on dev, the sooner we can actually give you valid feedback
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:42  Zorg: The duel page is a page that says "Insert duel page here." Pie -_-
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:50  Ross: Lol
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:53  Pie: i'm not gonna try, Zorg... xD
 +
2010-05-21 18:31:56  Pie: last time i got stuck -.-
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:02  jonkers: Do we have a time frame for this on dev?
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:13  Zorg: The point is Hive fighting is pointless, the only time it is remotely even useful in the current system is sniping people as they run to heal.
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:35  Zorg: Which will be totally irralevent in the new system anyway, because you'll have players heavily specialized as Medics out in warfare with you anyway.
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:44  KevinMp: 8)
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:52  Scott: ok
 +
2010-05-21 18:32:59  Scott: done?
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:07  KevinMp: nooo BoD's turn :x
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:07  bcfcespley: will we be able to switch between them or once we pick we have to stay as that speciality?
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:08  Zorg: The new system is still being designed.
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:10  Food: I need high pvp, I will be lost without it. :(
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:10  Pie: hive fighting also gains you exp
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:11  Pie: xD
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:14  Food: Hive*
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:20  Zorg: But it will come together in a way that makes sense, and you'll understand why fighting in the hive would be pointless.
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:24  KevinMp: bcfcespley i think so
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:29  Food: Take my brother instead of PVP!
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:38  Scott: We dont want him
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:41  Food: Gah
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:44  007Ben: {XD}
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:48  Scott: Right
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:50  darp: We didn't address DF's last two points.
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:53  Zorg: I understand the desire to kill players who do not wish to fight you....
 +
2010-05-21 18:33:59  KevinMp: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:02  Angel: It wasn't DF's turn
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:05  Angel: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:05  Scott: the suggestion forum points ?
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:05  Zorg: Thats why I play on PvP servers in every MMO I ever played.
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:17  Zorg: But in Legacy death is meaningless anyway for the most part.
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:21  zerocomman: our suggestions weren't worthy darp
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:32  Scott: right
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:38  zerocomman: mostly cuz i'm the one doing the suggesting :p
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:41  Zorg: ability to counteract radiance... no
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:56  Zorg: as radiance is not a combat advantage it just gives someone time to sit and do nothing
 +
2010-05-21 18:34:58  bcfcespley: radiance removing items, yes :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:00  Zorg: i see no need to counteract it
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:02  jonkers: expo removing items ?
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:09  Zorg: plus it kind of ruins the point of it
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:17  jonkers: even though you were working on them a year ago?
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:21  Scott: expo items are in the tunnel atm
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:27  Scott: havnt started planning for them
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:29  Zorg: staff favor effecting combat... kind of agree, but it will have very little effect in the new combat system anyway
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:41  Food: We were suppose to get exposure removing items as per last LegCon, Someone dropped the ball. *Blames Scott*
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:42  Zorg: I'm waiting for bcfc to draw them for me.
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:44  zerocomman: so no harm getting rid of these benefits in the meantime
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:45  Risque: Expo removing items were discussed at the last LegCon :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:49  bcfcespley: you what
 +
2010-05-21 18:35:54  bcfcespley: i drew you one ages ago lol

 +
2010-05-21 18:36:13  Ross: the count attack to radiance is waiting 1 minute

 +
2010-05-21 18:36:43  Tibos: and get Legacy Affairs to see who's fault it is
 +
2010-05-21 18:36:43  Pascal: wasteland rewards for gang members instead of just a trophy, based on their total wasteland points?
 +
2010-05-21 18:36:43  Scott: doofus
 +
2010-05-21 18:36:45  Zorg: redraw it

 +

 +
2010-05-21 18:38:49  Zorg: cool story, tell it again
 +

2010-05-21 18:39:32  jonkers: woop
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:33  KevinMp: so hunting will cost money in the new system then?
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:34  Zorg: There are people who leveled before hunting existed
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:39  Zorg: there are people who leveled after it was added
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:47  Scott: ok
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:47  Zorg: There are people who leveled before gangs existed so could attack anyone
 +
2010-05-21 18:39:55  Zorg: during midnight revives... the game changes... leveling changes
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:01  Zorg: It is not my intention to make anything easier or cheaper
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:09  Zorg: and I will make the changes needed to balance it to the best of my ability
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:24  KevinMp: so hunting, if its still in the game, will continue to cost money?
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:28  Scott: this is going to be a long blog
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:29  Zorg: I like the current amount of time it takes to get to Avatar and have no intention of decreasing it

 +
2010-05-21 18:40:48  Ross: you mae things easier when you allowed the transfers of credits and items legally....
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:53  Ross: made*
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:54  KevinMp: allright im all good then
 +
2010-05-21 18:40:58  darp: The ones I am aware of, LA and COE, were addressed.
 +
2010-05-21 18:41:10  Zorg: Hunting is just taking the place of player search &gt; attack player
 +
2010-05-21 18:41:43  Zorg: as that system sucks
 +
2010-05-21 18:41:48  Scott: ok
 +
2010-05-21 18:41:54  Scott: anymore points BoD?
 +
2010-05-21 18:41:59  Angel: since this is dragging on can i make my point as it is relevant to this particular topic?
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:01  Angel: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:05  Scott: go for it
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:08  Food: How dare you insult PVP *Votes to kill Zorg in his sleep*
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:13  Angel: So with the new dual system, how will it work within the wl, do you enter a square and wait for someone to 'accept' Killing somebody offline isn't stupid when they are taking your squares now is it? so why should they get rewarded being offline, it should
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:25  Angel: be like an off guard type thing, a premptive strike of sorts
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:27  Ross: ...
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:34  Tibos: duels are hive only
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:37  Ross: why on earth would it apply to the WL?
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:39  Pie: ...
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:41  Ross: think before you type -_-
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:42  Zorg: Ok other people are answering this one for me :D
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:46  jonkers: isnt zorg playing with roaming guards?
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:50  Scott: yeah
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:53  Angel: the game is changing, but what about wl?
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:54  Pie: you don't have to accept to fight in the wl
 +
2010-05-21 18:42:57  Scott: we're calling them evil little buggers
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:01  Pie: you just.. fight..
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:04  Pie: and if they're not there
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:07  Pie: you get no resistance
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:08  Angel: is it remaining the same?
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:09  Pascal: you die
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:14  jonkers: Care to explain more about these guards?
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:16  Zorg: WF is being turned in to one giant AJAX / Javascript display that will incorporate both combat and the current warfare stuff.... you'll never changes pages to fight multiple people in your location / use abilities / etc
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:17  KevinMp: so afk = death :O
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:19  Scott: WF is being redone next year i would imagine
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:22  SlickVic: afk will be suicide
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:29  SlickVic: I like it
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:34  KevinMp: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:39  Zorg: Yeah the idea of guards
 +
2010-05-21 18:43:59  Zorg: Is to make them like players only with special unique abilities that wander around
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:14  Zorg: So your HQ may be patrolled by a big boss style NPC with cool abilities that takes a few people to kill
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:24  Zorg: Your outer borders may be patrolled by simpler NPCs that patrol in packs
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:24  KevinMp: so will non avs b able to kill afk avatars then? :O
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:27  Scott: Goes well with a radar ability
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:28  Scott: :P
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:33  jonkers: are you planning changes to the maps?
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:35  Scott: anyone afk
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:38  Zorg: And enemy territory may even be entered by Scout NPCs that infilitrate and attack unsuspecting players.
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:41  Scott: will be pretty much jumped by guards
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:44  Scott: if players dont get them
 +
2010-05-21 18:44:46  Zorg: Thats the grand scope, how it will actually turn out is unknown right now

 +
2010-05-21 18:45:08  Angel: but what if the person was not afk, just a slower speed internet?
 +
2010-05-21 18:45:18  Zorg: Depends how slow :/
 +
2010-05-21 18:45:20  Scott: then we ban dialup XD
 +
2010-05-21 18:45:42  Angel: it would give an unfair advantage if self defense is gone
 +
2010-05-21 18:45:48  Tibos: once the page is loaded (one page!!!), the other transfers should be extra small
 +
2010-05-21 18:45:54  Zorg: The combat system will be automated... kind of, you'll attack every 5 seconds or so and pick abilities in advance. So it's not like click as fast as you can.
 +

 +
2010-05-21 18:47:04  Food: Seond, we should consider drops from roaming guards in WL!
 +
2010-05-21 18:47:23  Zorg: So you click the head shot ability and it is executed at the end of that bar instead of your auto-attack
 +
2010-05-21 18:47:39  Angel: that works :)
 +
2010-05-21 18:47:42  Zorg: Yes they would have drops, especially each gangs "boss npc" that patrols their HQ

 +
2010-05-21 18:56:19  KevinMp: back to the boss npcs. who gets the drop if multiple people attack it?
 +
2010-05-21 18:56:30  Tibos: it would only support mass favoring so the gang can benefit from them
 +
2010-05-21 18:56:30  Zorg: no idea

2010-05-21 18:56:36  Angel: so that people of leadership look like leadership if they choose to be
