Suggestions

Lottery tickets for developments

Timestamp: JoshCz (talk) 15:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Type: Game Upgrades

Scope: Donaters

Description: I have some ideas for things that could be worked into the game, things that would make the game more interesting. Rather than giving over-powered items or skills to everyone, perhaps we could use a lottery system for characters. Each character can get a single special skill tree and/or item to use in the game (this includes zombies), and you pay to enter into a lottery. This way you can still have interesting items without a player running around with everything all at once. Say you want to use power weapons, well you enter a character into the PW lottery and every so often we pick new players to try out new features. Not only would this add to the diversity of how the game is played, but it could be used to attract new players.

So, a system whereby characters are randomly selected to be overpowered? I'm okay with the idea of randomized benefits, but the key point is that they can't provide people with an unfair advantage over others, which is what it seems like this idea would be doing right now. —Aichon— 22:46, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

not necessarily OP, given the ability first to test a feature that is more powerful than previous features. The thing is, each character could only get one power-up, making the features balanced between each other. In my opinion, unfair is being able to do all the cool things, the lottery would be a way to test things first before letting loose on larger amounts of players.JoshCz (talk)

Official Mayor Idea (lottery)

Timestamp: JoshCz (talk) 15:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Type: In-game Election

Scope: Experienced Donaters

Description: experienced players enter for a lottery to choose who can run for mayor. However many we take, we work down until we get 2 candidates and have a real 2 party election. Mayor gets a top-hat with a mayor pin, which allows them to broadcast on all frequencies at once, and to talk to large groups of people.
