Nympha Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thoughts, ideas on this. [info]: See HELP VOTING. We need 5 votes to reach rank 5! I was visiting Eldrigal and I noticed the place he plays has this as a world echo that every so often comes up. Like every six or so hours. Ideas on if anyone would think that would be a good thing on any game. Edit:Dont hurt me for visiting another game. Was just visiting a friend!

MeleeCrazy Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 hmmm, that actually sounds like a good idea to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMike Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 big long thread on tms about it, it's fine as long as you have the option to turn it off or something along those lines. The imps will know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 It is allowable to have global echo scripts running reminding people to vote per TMS rules. The key element is that no one can benefit from voting or suffer for not voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 But of course, voting increases morale in the workforce, thus, increased productivity ontop of the good work already. And, the more votes we have, the higher our 'ranking', which means that we are percieved as a better, more popular MUD package than many others out there. Which means an increase to the consumer base size. This will result in less expenditure and an increase in sales proportional to the... It stands to reason then, that voting does give benefit to us. Dey EDIT: Forgot to comment on the idea. On another MUD I have seen, rather than have an echo, they have a mob (it was a goblin I think) that yells to the entire lands about votes. Now instead of having a global echo, how about a mob in a common location (the town crier in Rheydin, perhaps?) that every so many hours, yells "Hey dudes! Like, totally 4 votes until we're first! Rock out!". It could be yelling it so only people in the town hear it, but still be on it's own channel, so that it can be deactivated if people get annoyed (if that's possible). You could possibly even fit it in with RP, like "Woah, rock out! Aabahran voted the 3rd best place to live man, with like, totally rockin' votes needed to be chosen 2nd!"

grannym4n Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Heck, prog the little guy to run throughout the closest 20 areas yelling in each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3zd1sp3nx0r Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The only problem I can see with this is that SOME people may assume the IMMS are "harassing" the player base. by some people i mean people who come for 2 seconds and leave then write a review.

Malchaeius Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Also, I think it kind of suspends the roleplay. It's a little hard to get into character with something OOC like that flashing across your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nympha Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Which is why there would be some kind of prompt to be able to turn this on or off. But I like the discussion so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister E Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I voted 6 times today Home, school on as many ips as I could find between classes, and then once from my friends office nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 300 votes with 164 outs. Hell yeah. BTW gang...average players online has been between 25-30 at all but the most off-peak hours. Great job! Also, remember to vote at www.mudlists.com. It takes about 4 clicks but we can really shoot up that list as it's not as heavily voted. Except by CF...they top the list. Let's take them down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Twendrist Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 haha, I love the, 'BTW gang!".. That is the only reason i'm taking time to vote, Chayesh, you funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
