monkeypoacher 6993 Share Posted July 14, 2020 yo... kaedrin? curious how/when this activity data was taken. is it just from one week, is it an average over multiple weeks, etc. (it’s an average over 5 months sorry I can’t read. idk what it is but these decisions make me mad, they seem mechanical and arbitrary) guarantee you in the time it takes for the next map to come out one of these groups will go inactive.

Also, should the elves all be put under Aegrothond, it’s going to be a ******* civil war man. I’m telling you there will be chaos and people are going to hate the staff team for it. Trying to OOCly force a new Malinor isn’t going to work. You’re driving a player base into a less then optimal situation here. they had less than 3%, below nation requirements. if they had more activity, sure. plus it’s haelun’or and aegrothond, so youve got the high elves with a place and the other elves with a place. right at the start of the map, other nations/charters will be able to get land, as grool said. so it’s not like they wont get land at the start of the map. take a look at his reply here: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or y’know, we could stop competing for readings of this nonsense activity plugin, and resolve the matter of who gets land next map in roleplay) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or y’know, we could stop competing for readings of this nonsense activity plugin, and resolve the matter of who gets land next map in roleplay) Activity checks are stupid, will always be stupid, and have always been stupid. They treat all activity as if it is the same, thus forcing groups to focus on quantity over quality. When used to consolidate RP in a select few locations, it forces nonsensical vassalizations and cohabitations that would not happen in roleplay normally. Honestly, instead of making lists of groups able to start with land on a new map, we should just have it be a free for all (perhaps in freebuild or something) where combat, diplomacy, economic arrangements, and managerial skills determines who gets what and how. After things have settled down a bit, then regions/tiles or whatever can be given to large settlements that’d suffer from griefing without a region. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been steadily increasing due the environment being provided. Squash beef, provide good rp, chill in the vibes. Kaedrin’s going to be fine regardless but it would be nice to have the progress we’ve made acknowledged formally y know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaedrin’s going to be fine regardless but it would be nice to have the progress we’ve made acknowledged formally y know? you guys are active and should get land that’s what I was tryna say activity naturally fluctuates and it’s mad unfair to take a random snapshot in time (whether it’s 5 months or 1 week, sorry I can’t read) to say “these 5 groups are active & deserve prebuilds, every other group doesn’t make the cut” the activity plugin is not capable of predicting who will be active in an entirely new location in a new map. remember fenn and gladewynn lol? or llyria being #1 settlement on the map? it’s basically a rule that nations die randomly during transition, so it’d be much better to make the land grab an actual event that encourages people to take an active role in settling the new map Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblefina 2244 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Same **** different year, but I appreciate the effort to be transparent. There’s always going to be outliers who are upset with the decisions made because they didn’t make the cut. That’s life. No avoiding it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
