20130404 Experience Gain for Defiling Graffiti

Lpha 23:14, 4 April 2013 (BST)

Suggestion type
New method for gaining experience for zombies.

Suggestion scope
Every zombie in the city of Malton.

Suggestion description
Currently, it is next to useless for zombies to spend one of their precious action points to defile graffiti. No experience is gained and anyways, metagaming is a better method of communication that graffiti. Unless the graffiti was actually important, which is rare, little or no damage is done to the survivors. I propose that defiling graffiti should now grant the zombie who spent an action point to hamper survivor communications a single experience point for defiling graffiti on buildings where the skill tagging does not grant a survivor experience, and two experience points for defiling graffiti on buildings where the skill tagging does grant experience to a survivor who spray-paints a message on it.

This would not overly imbalance the game, as a one or two experience points are not much and although many buildings are graffitied, action points would be required to find the buildings that have been spray-painted as well as to defile the graffiti on them. Defiling graffiti is not "out-of-character" for zombies as zombies are destructive creatures and when brains are not available, they will destroy other things. Anyways, if the destruction of a vase or painting grants an experience point, defiling graffiti should, too. This change would make it slightly easier for zombies to level up and encourage more players to play as zombies but will not overly imbalance the game.

Keep Votes

  1. Keep Author vote. Lpha 03:09, 5 April 2013 (BST)
  2. Keep. Helps ferals and new players. Doubleplusgood. Nothing to be done! 18:45, 5 April 2013 (BST)
  3. Keep Yes this. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 18:48, 5 April 2013 (BST)
  4. Keep As above, helps new zombies, should get new players into action quicker. --Zarak Goldleaf 18:52, 5 April 2013 (BST)
  5. Sure, makes sense. Seems like it has got to be a dupe since it's so obvious, but I'm too lazy to check. Aichon 19:12, 5 April 2013 (BST)
    Re: Believe it or not, this is not a dupe. I looked through the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page, Peer Rejected Suggestions page, the Undecided Suggestions page, and the Previous Days Suggestions pages and did not find a suggestion containing both "graffiti" and "experience" in its title. Lpha 22:15, 5 April 2013 (BST)
    I think Spider discussed it on DS but never took it to voting, though I could be wrong on that. Nothing to be done! 23:06, 5 April 2013 (BST)
    Re: If someone proposed a suggestion on the Developing Suggestions page but did not actually suggest it, I can use it. Lpha 03:08, 6 April 2013 (BST)
  6. It may be nonsense, but at least it is consistent nonsense. -- Spiderzed 20:03, 5 April 2013 (BST)

  7. Keep - Yeah sounds good. Can't believe this isn't already in-game. A ZOMBIE ANT 05:03, 6 April 2013 (BST)
    Keep Because, kittens. --Rosslessness 23:55, 7 April 2013 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. As harrison. Defiling is only really useful when you're wiping out useful survivor information (links to metagaming information usually). And only getting XP for things that promote the zombie cause has always been a zombie strong point (as opposed to all the counter-productive things that survivors can and do waste AP on). One thing I'd want changed (if this was to be implemented) is that you only get the XP if you're the first to defile, not for re-defiling the same graffiti multiple times -- boxy 04:12, 6 April 2013 (BST)
    Re: First of all, zombies really need a boost. Secondly, if destroying a vase grants and experience point, why should defiling graffiti not? I do agree with what you said about how only the first zombie who defiles graffiti should get an experience point. Lpha 15:30, 6 April 2013 (BST)
    That's a case for removing XP for destroying decorations. Giving zombies an easy and mostly pointless source of XP is not a boost. You've got to make it more fun to play as a zombie. The statistical imbalance has always been because newbies would rather play the hero, fighting for survival, rather than the mindless, diseased zombie character. The only way that zombies stay competitive with this inherent disadvantage is because they stay focused on what wins it for them, and that is bashing barricades in unison, and killing survivors. Not destroying decorations and smearing gore on meaningless survivor graffiti -- boxy 03:47, 7 April 2013 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes




Voting Rules
Current Suggestions

Advice to Suggesters

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. "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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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:20130404 Experience Gain for Defiling Graffiti). 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.
