  4. Positive brainstorming

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    I've been recruiting friends to join my alliance, and I've received two separate complaints that the intro (nation set-up etc) is too much of an infodump, it's off-putting to them. Why set tax rates when you have no conception of what a good one is yet? There needs to be prior education or a delay of implementation of things.

    Wait..... you were in Pyramid?

    Yeah, Jan Liqua of The Andel Provinces. I wasn't around for long.

    I'm not saying my four years are memorable or anything. My only long stay in government was in MCXA.

    I just realized, if I count my three months away from CN on e-breaks, it's about my four year anniversary right now. My first nation, The Andel Provinces, was founded on May 15, 2006, take away three months about...yeah!

    I'd like to take this time to thank the people that kept me hear for (most) of this stretch of time- Dr. Fresh, my mentor in CXA and MCXA, NeuralLink, Gavik, Ray_Matveyev, Indecline/Che, and my new family at Gondor. Also the alliances I've served under during my various adventures- NPO, ICP (I), VE, CXA, MCXA, The Legion, Pyramid, Vox Populi, SWF, and the Mushroom Kingdom.

    Now would also be the time to hand out some choice advice. Don't value your pixels too much, as it gets in the way of pure, unadulterated fun. Avoid generic fights and responses to crises. Don't start a boring alliance, there are plenty of those to go around, make one of those exciting if you really want to help the community. Get on IRC if you don't do it already, it makes the game a lot more fun. And finally, don't mash refresh every millisecond during a Great War, you aren't helping a bit.

    Thanks to everyone, I hope you all have had a wonderful summer (winter, to our Southern Hemisphere friends), and that Bob has been kind to you.
