Suggestions, crit, w/e, have at.

Re: Luceti / Luceti Mods lucetimods February 23 2011, 03:22:42 UTC

I actually agree with what this anon is saying. Yes we understand that these drafts are great for your character, but when you're drafted every time, it's really not fair on the other players. With your timeline, you're not taking into account muns who may be on hiatus when it's announced. If they play a fighter character and tag onto that late, they have a long wait ahead of them.

The anon isn't trying to offend you or anyone, please don't take it that way. They're just pointing out that it is a good idea for a limit to be placed on how many times in a row you can be drafted. I've noticed v-13 commenting to other characters on the recruitment list to jump up, so you can't say it comes as a surprise for you to be drafted again.

It's nice to give the newer muns a chance to join in and take part, as well as those who've been here for a while. Sorry if it looks as though we may be ganging up on you, but I think this anon's suggestion is a valid and fair one.

And I can see that, but... honestly, it's hard to find a different system people are fine with. At the moment, the draft system is comparable to waiting in a line at an amusement park: it can take quite some time until it's your turn, but once it is, you're free to line up again immediately. It's a disadvantage to people on hiatus as well as players - or even simply characters - that join at a later date, but that's how it is with queues. And I know what it's like to have to wait for the next draft (Nu here missed out on the first draft, and I'm actually among the ones waiting for a newly-apped character to be chosen as well), but... well, sometimes, you have to be a little patient, I guess. And that patience does pay off, doesn't it?

I'm not taking it that way, don't worry! I'm certain that's not what anon intended. But I'm not sure a limit is the way to go, simply because... well, that can cause issues too. Let's say there's another more plot-heavy draft like the one in December, and someone can't have their character go simply ( ... )

Sorry, I apologize if I've gotten your comments mixed up! I was sure I'd seen you tag onto other characters multiple times, if I'm wrong then that's a fault on my behalf.

If someone has been considering bringing this up for a while, then I'm sure it's not just the two of us with this issue. If you can think of another suggestion to make things fair, so that more characters get the chance to take part in drafts instead of the same players over and over, then it would be a big help to hear. Idealy, it would be great if we could find something that all players can agree with.

Just a suggestion... cryptgirl February 23 2011, 12:34:04 UTC

After reading everything, I would agree that it's not a good idea to thrust newer characters into a battle before they even get to settle into the village.

However, if they have castmates that have been in here for a while, they can reply directly to said castmates' comment in the recruitment post, to ensure that they get drafted together.

Again, it's just a suggestion, although I'm inclined to agree that this is one of those lose-lose situations...

Re: Luceti / Luceti Mods awakenedchaos February 24 2011, 20:01:18 UTC

Don't worry about it! Mix-ups like that happen. Like I said, I did do that once - before the second draft, for the reason mentioned in my previous comment - so you weren't completely off. It's just not something I've done multiple times. ♪

As I said in my reply to the above anon, it looks like the mods already found a way to deal with the issue themselves to some extent - with the current draft being bigger, and now the additional list of draftees (although these do come with a handicap on the first day, but since we get to choose what it is, I'd say this is pretty fair - in fact, I'd even go so far as to say it might just make things more fun for some characters!), the queue's getting cleared a lot faster; at the moment, the only characters who responded to the recruitment post and haven't listed are the ones on page 5, and quite a few characters on that page signed up after the current draft went up. This will probably go a long way toward making things more fair ( ... )
