[OOC] Suggestions / Problems / and more

[Lym 849]

Hello,

I would like to talk about some of the problems we Undeads currently have.

That said, I'm going to start:

1.: Permissions in Drauchriem? Sooo I would like to have a room in Drauchriem. I've been told that the permissions are messed up and that it's possible to steal from each other. It kinda frustrates me that we cannot trust each other.

2.: Striqaephoth and it's purpose? Striqaephoth was destroyed by a worldhole. It was recently rebuilt by Dalek and me. The church now looks good again but.. for what do we have Striqaephoth? For turning people Undead and getting them to jump into the pit filled with Lava? Striqaephoth should be used as an Outpost where we actually do stuff. When Undeads were released people frequently traveled north to find this amazing floating city. It has one of the best atmospheres In-game! Why no use it then?

There are enough buildings which could be small homes, storage rooms, meeting rooms (For Council) and more!

Also, we could need a GM to place some Netherrack under the new Church so it looks like a floating netherrack island again.

3.: Minions? If we agree with having minions should we make rules for minions and most important giving them a leader, who leads them (for example an Adept from the military side) or a person who is Advanced Villian. If we do not agree with having minions someone with a high ranking position (best Tyrion or Cassandra) should tell them to... you know what I mean. Some minions just think they're a big deal and need to get attention. We need to taught those minions *cough Da_Emperors cough* a lesson.

4.: Time Zones to plan events and more stuff. I would like to ask you to post your MC Name and your timezone here. [e.g. Lymdil - GMT+1] If you wish you can also post your RP Names.

5.: Events. We are doing a lot of events at the moment and I really love that! Though it would be pretty cool if we could organize some events for GMT Players (We usually have to stay up until 1am and in week days it's kinda impossible..). Those GMT events could be planned for the Weekends so you guys get on at 2pm while we get on at 8pm and can do loooots of fun stuff ^^

That's everything for now. If I have more ideas I will edit them in here.

Post comments, thoughts, suggestions and more below. Please keep in mind that this is OOC.

Thanks for reading,

Pho

(Lym)

[Please do not post here if your posts do not develop this further. I'm open for every suggestion but a 'WTF Undead, lolol Minions are important, take me, make me Undead' etc. will be deleted. Once again, thanks for your attention]

[Juvens 199]

I totally agree with that. Especially on the part with the Minions. Our repitation now already is messed up as hell, because of a special person. ((Not telling names, but you know who I mean))

On the 4th point I have to disagree. Since the events ARE planned already at specific times, then, when the most people are online. Sadly your not that much online, Lymdil, and when you are online, there are mostly only about 100 Player online.

But okay, I hope the minions get into new shape!

Greetings

^ Sorry that I'm not able to play at 1 am when I've school next day ;-) But all in all I agree that there are lots of events and I really appreciate that but all in all I think everyone on the server should be able to take part in events.

[Dalek348 1962]

I don't know what is up with the permissions in Drauchriem. I can't open any chests other than my own, nor can I interact with anything outside my home. I cannot make a comment on the permissions, although houses should be made easier to get.

Striqaephoth, when I spoke with Tyrion about it a while ago, he said he had plans for it, but I cannot speak for him. All I know that with school and such for us, our activity has been hampered. Usually occupied with events or RP, there is little time left for building and developing our cities.

My idea; no minions whatsoever. They just cause trouble. It's a tried and tested idea, the first time, it did not work, and it will continue not to work when tried after that. People that are non-Undead and have the option to 'worship' us or do almost Undead-like actions often cannot be trusted to go about in our name, thus tarnishing the name of the Undead and causing problems for everyone.

People do their best to accommodate other time zones with events. I've had this problem for almost 3 months of being Undead, but I do my best to stay up and take part in the events. I also attempt to organise or propose events of my own. But usually, I spend my time either going around RPing, or I could otherwise occupy my time developing Drauchriem or Striqaephoth to help everyone.

Events are almost always planned to be at the weekends, so the maximum amount of people can be online both to experience it and enhance the atmosphere of the event. Like I said earlier, people do their best to plan events to accommodate everyone, but that is not always able to happen, and we have to live with that.

I agree with some of your points, but I think you need to be Undead for a longer period of time before you can make better judgements on situations you have listed.

[susitsu 871]

Alright, my turn.

1. Why would the undead even rob each other? Where's the gain!? So yeah, you guys should be able to all have perms there.

2. People STILL travel North ALL THE TIME. Seriously, after like every undead battle when I finish looting bodies, some giant group of soldiers literally rushes North to find the amazing floating city of the undead so they can SOMEHOW take it down. Do something with it, make these people have an actual reason to fear going.

3. Alright, minions. They would honestly only work if you had people WORTHY of being undead, but don't want to be undead. That would be the ONLY way for it to not get screwed up. so yeah, that would be difficult.

4. Good luck.

5. Just try and stop Cassie from destroying everything in Aegis. Just. Try.

[Lym 849]

I also agree with you Dalek, I'm just trying to develop our glorious Kingdom further ^^ Of course our main focus is not on the cities but we should care more, especially after Striqaephoth had been eaten by a worldhole and no one except us cared...

I'm going to stick with the Undead to the end and hope for changes and gaining more experience about us.

To be fair, I'm the least active minion there is.

Still waiting for castellano to be online.

Edit:

" Player castellano is offline for 1 month 3 days 8 hours 40 minutes 43 seconds. "

Can I please get a new master? Its not that I don't like castellano, its just that he's probably dead.

[Dalek348 1962]

No. We do not take kindly to minions. I suggest you look for some other walk of life.

[Ghazni 49]

There's a reason why a minion army, up to this point, ha snot worked for the Undead, while the FoA (Ascended Minions/Army) has worked. Its the villian app and the rep people get by being in it. Requiring the villian app allows people to do evil acts on their own accord, meaning while they're out and about town, they can be evil without any word from us. Their evil acts may be random, rped poorly, they become meta targets, and generally bring everyone a bad name and bad attention that comes with their actions. The villian apps also SEVERLY limit the amount of people that we can pick, as not everyone can just be with us, technically. Meaning we have to choose from (example) group of 50 people. Sort through the people that we know cause problems, people that bicker and fight with each other, people that have bickered and fought with us, and people that aren't insane IRL. That's only part of what would need to be looked for, outside of RP skills, timezones, what they have to offer, they're background, etc. Any random bum on the street can walk up to an Ascended and express their interest in joining the FoA, they don't require a "GoodyTwoShoes App" to be able to help them.

If we wanted an Undead army to work a few things would need to be implemented. The villian app process severly needs to be reworked, which I have been told it will be for 2.0 but does not help us here. Similar to the tutonic(sp?) order, they have 1 or 2 leaders that have Adv Villian apps that order/control a group of people that do not have apps. This method has been approved by GMs and we could and should utilize this for ourselves. However, that entails the most important part of this, no evil acts unless ordered to. Undead do not randomly kill people, if they're decent undead. Planning, RPing and making storyline is part of our job, and having an army that recklessly undoes the work we do is pointless.

I am for a Minion Army, but not until I have a chance to sit down and figure out placement, leadership, how it'll be run and controlled. And I won't have time for that until this Meta'd Invasion this weekend. Running into a city and screaming "Hey come join the undead, everyone who wants to be a minion, this way!" Was simply retarded and i hope the people that did it now see this.

(bell rung I have more to say on other stuff but yea, bbl!)

Harsh words to hear after what I've done to aid you, even while others left.

[Dalek348 1962]

Of course it's harsh. But the minions cause far too much trouble for what little they do for us, apart from taking the brunt of the attacks people perform on us. You can't continue on clinging to the idea of being a minion. If you really want to, I suggest waiting until good ideas for the minions are found.

If we can get 5 or so Advanced Villains that are exemplary to the rest, then maybe we can have the minions up and running. Until then, I am against minions.

[Lym 849]

I recommend Juvens as the minion leader + an adept from the military to lead the minions. On that way we have influence from both, undead and minion side.

+1 for truth

[Lym 849]

Oh, I have some great plans for Striqa, more about it later when I am back from Holiday.
