Suggestion type
Unique Mall Addition/Flavour

Suggestion scope
1 Mall

Suggestion description
The Arcade Machine is a unique addition to ONE MALL only and can only be found in one corner....

Building Description Change

Unpowered:

"There is an an amusement arcade here, the machines are switched off."

Powered:

"There is an an amusement arcade here, only one machine is working."

If no one has played the game "There is no high score." is added

If someone has played the game "'Player' has the highest score with xxxx points" is added

Function

When powered Survivors can click the button 'Play the arcade game', this costs 1AP. When clicked a number is generated ((Rnd 1:100)*10)

IF this number is higher than the current high score the player receives the message

"CONGRATULATIONS!!! you have set a new high score of 'xxxx' points!" and the building description is updated.

ELSE

"you scored 'xxxx' points."

Notes

If power is lost the high score is lost/reset.

When ruined it cannot be used and is automatically repaired with the rest of the building.

When a zombie ruins this corner they gain +1XP

In order to make the malls more unique this feature will be placed in one mall (at Kevin's discretion) that is currently non-unique so the following malls are excluded;

• Ackland Mall (The Goth Store)
• Lumber Mall (Only 2 block mall)
• Nichols Mall (The Kilt Store)
• Pole Mall (Only 3 block mall)
• Thompson Mall (The Hat Store)

Voting Section

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped. # justification ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - Author Vote. --Kamikazie-Bunny 01:22, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
2. Keep - I see no solid reason not to. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 01:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
3. Keep - Sure why not? Could bring significance to a forgotten mall.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 13:47, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
4. Keep - Maybe a very small XP reward for high score? Pesatyel and others have valid points, but I don't think they make this a suggestion totally without merit. There are plenty of items that are unrelated to a zombie apocalypse that have been implemented. I saw nobody crying over the introduction of museum pieces. --Anotherpongo 18:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Needless and distracting. 01:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
2. Kill/Change - For reasons I mentioned previously. —Aichon— 02:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
3. The Zombie Survival Guide says that the living should maintain their sanity by staying active, but they specifically say NOT to use electronics as it would be noisy and draw zombies. Urban Dead isn't your 'standard zombie genre". It is more simplistic by nature of the game mechanics. If survivors have this to do, 1 square or not, it just shows that the zombies aren't, apparently, big enough of a threat that people can goof off like this. Those two having been said, MAYBE if zombies could hear people playing it, I might like it better.--Pesatyel 03:35, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
4. Kill - Encourages GKing, trenchie in-fighting & offensive profiles (which would be linked from the machine description.) --Explodey 14:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
5. Kill As Pesatyel. --Rahrah^{Come join the #party!}16:35, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - Survivors can already max out their characters without ever meeting a zombie, the undead can't do this, please no more pointless survivor AP wasting pointlessness. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

   I don't understand, what does survivors levelling up have to do with this? If survivors are wasting AP on 'pointless' things surely that's benefical to zombies. --Kamikazie-Bunny 01:29, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

   It's the apocalypse, they should be doing stuff involving zombies, otherwise it's not a zombie apocalypse, it's some chav hoodies in your neighbourhood. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

   Continued Here --Kamikazie-Bunny 01:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

2. Spam pointless flavor is pointless, yes?--Lolwat64 02:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
3. Spam as lolwat -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 06:40 11 November 2009 (BST)
4. Spam I still don't get it. --DT^PK 17:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20091111 Arcade Machine). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
