| *'''Name''' - Give the suggestion a short but descriptive name.
| |
| *'''Type''' is the nature of the suggestion, such as a ''new class'', ''skill change'', ''balance change'', etc. Basically: '''What is it?''' and '''Is it new, or a change?'''
| |
| *'''Scope''' is who or what the suggestion affects. Typically ''survivors'' or ''zombies'' (or both), but occasionally ''Malton'', the game ''interface'' or something else.
| |
| *'''Description''' should be a full explanation of your suggestion. Include information like flavor text, search odds, hit percentages, etc, as appropriate. Unless you are as yet unsure of the exact details behind the suggestion, try not to leave out anything important. Check your spelling and grammar.
| |
| | |
| ===Cycling Suggestions===
| |
| *Suggestions with no new discussion in the past two days should be given a warning notice. This can be done by adding {{CodeInline|1='''<nowiki>{{SDW|</nowiki><font color="darkred">date</font><nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''}} at the top of the discussion section, where <font color="darkred">date</font> is the day the suggestion will be removed.
| |
| *Suggestions with no new discussion in the past week may be removed.
| |
| *If you are adding a comment to a suggestion that has the warning template please remove the {{CodeInline|1='''<nowiki>{{SDW|</nowiki><font color="darkred">date</font><nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''}} at the top of the discussion section to show that there is still ongoing discussion.
| |
| | |
| This page is prone to breaking when the page gets too long, so sometimes suggestions still under discussion will be moved to the [[Developing Suggestions/Overflow1|Overflow page]], so the discussion can continue.

| |'''Description:''' First of all, I know that AP suggestions might be dropped quickly, but nevertheless I post It. | | |'''Description:''' Allow 'ignore' from radio broadcasts; users are hiding behind their anonymity to allow them to broadcast things that would broadly trigger them to be ignored, if their user ID was visible. Adding their name, or an auto-generated call-sign (it is for a radio, after all) or something so that they could be blocked based on their broadcasts would help user experience. In addition, and broadcasts that get more than a threshold number could get tagged for review, and the user potentially having their (in-game) ham-license revoked. |
| | |
| When you log in, you loose one AP. Try to log-in, log-out and ten log-in again. From time to time I would like to know if my character is still standing or if someone had replied to me without loosing 1AP. In case I would like to check it 4x daily, I loose 4AP.
| |
| | |
| Technically, it would be achieved just by adding AP = AP + 1 when logging (am I right?). Other thing is that the traffic would increase. If the server would be able to handle current refresh rate x 2 I think that it should not be any problem, in case that we assure somehow (suggestions?) that most of the people won't click refresh every 3 seconds.

| ====Discussion (No AP log-in cost)==== | | ====Discussion (Ignore based on Radio Broadcast)==== |
| No you don't lose an AP from logging in - if you are, something may be wrong with your browser, though I find even that suspect. The [[Hit Limit|IP hits]] limit already exists to control how much server bandwidth a player eats, and you can refresh by hitting the "graffiti" or "speak" button with no text entered into them. Failing that, there are some UI mods that add a refresh button, and failing that, just go to your profile and hit "back to the city." --'''[[User:BobBoberton|<span style="color: #FF4500">Bob Boberton</span>]] <sup>[[The_Fortress|<span style="color: #6B8E23">TF</span>]] / [[The_Fortress/Dark_Watch|<span style="color: #778899 ">DW</span>]]</sup>''' [[Image:Littlemudkipsig.gif]] 20:11, 9 September 2009 (BST)

| |- | | |- |
| |'''Description:''' For anyone who actually knows, I took the name from a great PS1 game. Anyway. This makes 2 new skills. Trap Runner, which is a sub-skill of Free Running, and Trapper, which can possibly be a Zombie Hunter skill or just a Military skill. | | |'''Description:''' There are just over 3000 active characters in the game currently likely counting a significant percentage of alts and zergs. Shrinking the map by eliminating the outer first two rings of suburbs would increase the amount of interactions between the remaining characters. This shrink could be increased or decreased depending on future changes to the playerbase. |
| Trapper allows Humans to create different traps by using a combination of both Items in their Inventory and items found in the building, with different flavor depending on where you set your Trap e.g. ''You set up an elaborate Fire Axe trap on the door. The next person to enter from the street will set it off''. Or ''Taking your pistol, you set up a Trap to fire it at the next person who enters from the outside''. Whenever a Zombie enters through the door, their message would be something like A Human Trap is set off as you enter. You take X amount of damage. There is a 75% chance that the player entering the building will be affected by the trap. Not being affected would give you a message along the lines of As you enter the building, a Trap is set off. Fortunately, it is misaimed, and you aren’t hurt. This would use up the Trap, and there is only one Trap per building. Traps can only be set in certain buildings. I haven’t thought of which ones, so please suggest some. It would cost 10AP to set up a Trap.
| |
| Possible Traps include: A Fire Axe Trap – Does 3 Damage, Needs a Fire Axe. A Pistol Trap – Does 5 Damage, Needs a Pistol. Shotgun Trap – does 6 Damage, Needs a Shotgun. Mêlée Trap – does between 1 and 4 damage, Requires a Mêlée Weapon.
| |
| In Short:
| |
| • 10 AP to create Trap.
| |
| • Useable only once, then destroyed.
| |
| • Only in Certain buildings.
| |
| • 75% Chance of working.
| |
| | |
| Trap Runner increases the chance of avoiding the Trap by 50% when entering by Free Running, and 25% when entering from the street. Avoiding the Trap when you have Trap Runner provides a message of ''Thanks to your battle hardened reflexes, you avoid the Trap set in the building''.

| |'''Description:''' Just a few slight changes to the UD flailing gesture taunts and such... | | |'''Description:''' Due to the passage of time with mobile games and other real time action games without restriction, I think that we should address the action points system of the game. This game can only realistically be played for 5 minutes a day. So it's not really a seller for new blood. If we want to see this game survive it needs to evolve into something more exciting than 5 minutes. My suggestion is double the regeneration rate to improve activity. I love this game. I want to play it more. And the die hard fans I'm sure feel the same. More will go on in a day, sure. But that's for both sides. We're ready for it. Let's get this game moving again. We need this. |

| |
| *Tactics - allows you to spraypaint 3x3 charts, with a 5 character per square limit.
| |
| **Deep Reconnaissance - if you have binoculars, you can use a "Deep Recon" button, giving you an estimate (random margin of error up to 10%) of the number of players (zombies and humans, no difference given) outside.
| |
| ***Seige Warfare - you can now throw melee weapons outside of the building, attacking a random player (zombie or survivor). Hit rate is (2*number of players outside)%. However, any future area-of-effect weapons cannot be thrown.
| |
| ****Battle Engineering - now [[PR_Weapon#Molotov_Cocktails|this]] or any other "explosives" can also be thrown outside of buildings, if they're implemented.
| |
| | |
| *Espionage - knowledge of secret tactics allows you to use the following skills:
| |
| **Cryptography - allows you to broadcast and listen on frequency 25.90 MHz (currently unused).
| |
| ***Caches - knowledge of secret weapons caches increases search rates in PDs and Armouries by >1%.

| It will totally unbalance the game. And the "Infiltration" makes the game almost impossible for newbies. With it, high-level characters will barricade buildings to HB, letting zombies and newbies outside.--{{User:OrangeGaf/Sig}} 15:58, 6 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| :Ok, get rid of Infiltration. --{{User:Brainguard/Sig}} 20:09, 7 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| No idea why these all have to have Zombie Hunter as a prerequisite. You need to spell out the attack percentages and damage rates for thrown weapons. I suspect that Molotov Cocktails haven't been implemented for a reason... no area of effect weapons. Caches is simply a search percentage buff <small>-- [[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 16:12 6 September 2009 (BST)</small>

| :Ok, how about attack rate is (2*number of players outside)%? --{{User:Brainguard/Sig}} 20:09, 7 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| Some of these have some potential for use. Tactics sounds difficult to code, but could be an interesting idea. Cryptography might be nice for some high-end broadcasting, making it more free of spam and propaganda. Cache would be nice in moving the game away from malls, but I really recommend that you drop the NT search boost, Necrotechs are vital enough as is, and syringes are just as common as they need be, especially with the behind the screen fiddling that Kevan does.

| What is it with you and multi-suggestions? You DO know what that means right? Apparently not since you CONTINUE to do it. If you suggest 3 skills at the same time and I like only 1 of the three....how do I vote?
| |
| *Tactics: Please clarify.
| |
| *Siege Warfare: No attacking through barricades.
| |
| *Battle Enginnering: Don't connect suggestions.
| |
| *Espionage: Basically a "do nothing" skill?
| |
| *Cryptography: Probably the only "real" skill.
| |
| *Caches: 1%? For weapons only or for "any" items found in said locations?
| |
| So, as said, the only viable skill is Espionage, thus I'd probably have to vote kill (or spam) as all the others are crap.--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 06:52, 8 September 2009 (BST)

| I thought it would be interesting to see boxing gloves in the game. I know that there are a lot of other melee and household weapons but I thought that this would add an interesting flavour. It also has a slightly more base hit chance than your regular fist. This '''does not''' affect the punch, character description, clothes description or anything else and is simply a new weapon in the inventory. I need some help regarding locations and search rates. Oh, and on the offhand side I took [http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/3748/grammar.jpg this screenshot]. --{{User:Dr Frank/Signature}} 12:00, 4 September 2009 (BST)

This suggestion would have been perfect for that! Just make it so that it takes 1 AP to equip or unequip boxing gloves, and when you're equipped with them you can't use any other items or attack with any other weapons. That would pretty much take this puppy out of dupe status in my opinion, and survivors could even start arranging boxing matches in-game.

| |'''Description:''' I have some ideas about redesigning the class system for a future UD city. My rationale is that classes as currently implemented become meaningless as you advance in levels. Every high-level character has all, or almost all, skills. Instead, classes should be specialized and interdependent. One character shouldn't be able to do everything. Below are some more details.
| |
| | |
| # All survivors would start as civilians.
| |
| # Most of what we now consider must-have skills would be classified as civilian (free running, basic hand-to-hand combat, basic firearms combat, diagnosis, construction).
| |
| # After the civilian has acquired some prerequisite number of civilian skills, he/she can choose to become either military or scientist and have access to the chosen class's skills.
| |
| # All zombie skills would be off limits, though there might be a Dual Nature class. A Dual Nature class would have a limit on total number of skills and have some distribution limit (e.g., maximum of 20 skills, with no more than 13 in either survivor or zombie skills).
| |
| # If you change your mind, you should be able to change classes, forget all skills of the old class, and get back some (not all) of your spent experience points.

| I can see what you're getting at here, and other games have implemented a similar system. However, the nature of the game rather dictates the current structure and the change really wouldn't work now that it's been around so long. In conclusion, it's not actually a bad idea but it would only really work if it was implemented at the start of the game. At this stage of the game, survivors would all be up in arms over losing their skills and it would never pass voting.--{{User:The General/sig}} 19:30, 2 September 2009 (BST)

| I did say a future city, not Malton or the others. There are three cities, so there might be others in the future, right?

| |'''Description:''' Please don't hit me if this is a bad idea. But I think it would be a decent and balanced solution to a very frustrating game mechanic. At the moment, standing up costs quite a bit of AP. Many players use their dead time to regenerate AP and prepare for a new day. However, it is very frustrating when I have waited a day for my 50 AP and I end up with only 40 AP or so. I understand that Ankle Grab nerfs this mechanic, however I feel it would be better to have 1 (Ankle Grab)/6 (Ankle Grab + Headshot) /10 (Default) /15 (Headshot) AP subtracted from a player when they are killed, as opposed to when they stand up. It would still cost 1 AP to stand up, but no more than that.

| I don't really see a problem with it at the moment, although one may be revealed later; the same AP cost still applies. Not that I'm against nerfing ?risers, but how exactly does this do so? I don't see anything that stops them from continuing to spam get-up commands until they IP.{{User:Lelouch/sig}} 22:31, 1 September 2009 (BST)
| |
| :Once you run out of AP, you can no longer stand. This shifts the AP cost to beforehand.
| |
| For example: Zombie A is in a seige. He has 5AP left. He is knocked to zero hp, falls down. Currently, using ?rise, he'll isntantly stand up, going down to -15AP (assuming he's headshot without Ankle Grab). Even though his AP is now below 0, he's still standing, and needs to be killed again. With this addition, he's killed, and drops to the floor. He loses the AP at this point, reducing him to -10. He can now perform no actions until he reaches 1AP. This includes standing with ?rise. So, he cannot stand up, and only needs to die once.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 22:37, 1 September 2009 (BST)

| With the first read, I wasn't sure what exactly was being suggested. I didn't see the difference paying at death was to paying at standup. Yonnua's example helps, so you might consider adding it when it goes to vote. So we have to look at the 2 affected events. One is the ?rise. I have no problem with that being adversally affected. The other is standig up without any AP (to spend performing actions after standing up). THAT tactics forces survivors to deal with "fresh" zombies before they can barricade, for example. Is losing that zombie tactic worth it?--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 02:00, 2 September 2009 (BST) Oh, and, by the way, I don't have a problem with it.

As it stands now, I can choose to stand immediately and take the penalty, or stay down to avoid further headshots. I often stand up early when already dumped, so that I get loose the headshot penalty early, and can work up to near 50AP.

| :To [[?rise]] you need to be on positive AP. As it currently stands the AP penalty for standing is paid '''when''' you stand... this would make the penalty for headshots apply immediately making it very likely that the zombie will be taken to negative AP and thus unable to stand untill long after the building has fallen to others or (more likely) he has been chucked into the street. --[[User:Honestmistake|Honestmistake]] 20:28, 2 September 2009 (BST)

| |
| |'''Description:''' ''Using whatever is handy, you can now stabilize your infections for 5 AP, ending damage after 25-30 turns.''
| |
|
| |
| Basically, this would allow infections only half of their normal lifespan, depending on whether or not you have Bodybuilding. You stabilize an infection so that, while it still does normal damage (1 hp per turn) after 25-30 turns it will end completely instead of hounding you till death. So no: If you're already low on HP this won't help you very much, but if a zombie infects you and doesn't hurt you any further, this is an quick fix, but at a cost:
| |
|
| |
| First of all, it costs 5 AP to use: Definitely not as easy to use as a FAK, and plus you're still damaged for 25-30 turns.
| |
|
| |
| Second ,(and third), you need the full doctor tree of First Aid, Surgery, and Diagnosis: And, you have to be at least level 10. I was considering putting this under Zombie Hunter skills, but it seemed to fit better here. You also CANNOT use this skill on others, only yourself.
| |
|
| |
| Flavor: (after stabilizing) {{udspan|You halt the spread of your infection, but it still hurts badly.}}
| |
|
| |
| After 12-15 turns: {{udspan|Your infection is starting to ache a little less now.}}
| |
|
| |
| After 25-30 turns: {{udspan|Your infection has been completely stabilized.}}
| |
|
| |
| How does it sound? Worth a real suggestion?
| |
| |}
| |
| ====Discussion (Stabilization)====
| |
| No. Because for half, even a third of the AP you spend before the infection cures, you could find the nearest Hospital, search, and heal yourself. If you added a 10 hour cap for the infection to cure as well as the 30ap, it could work, but personally I think 25-30ap is way too much. That's 30HP before it even fixes itself. Most people get ''revived'' with 30HP and an infection, what then? --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sigcode|BlueViolet}}-- 02:43, 29 August 2009 (BST)
| |
|
| |
| No. You can use 4 AP searching for a FAK and 1 AP to use it. You gain 5 HP and you cure your infection, 15 HP if you are in a powered hospital. Your suggestion is WAY underpowered. No one would use 5 AP just for getting their infection "Stabilized", and losing 30HP.
| |
| '''Searching for a FAK'''

| *10 turns for searching -10AP -10HP
| |
| *1 turn to use it -1AP +10HP

| Actually, the "normal lifespan" of infection is UNTIL CURED. So if you get infected and then die (via the infection or not) then get revived, your STILL infected. In fact, your infected while as a zombie, you just don't take damage. Your also forgetting that most players will heal each other for the XP. You don't get XP for curing an infection, but if your infected that probably means your down 4 HP so someone WOULD get the 5 XP for healing you (and curing your infection at the same time).--[[User:Pesatyel|Pesatyel]] 04:43, 29 August 2009 (BST)
| |
|
| |
| Sorry, but it's a no from me. I think this is a pretty useless idea - if you are infected, you are going to have taken a fair bit of damage anyway (from the zombie that infected you). Even with this, 30 HP is most probably still going to be enough damage to kill you, and even if not, doesn't this go against the point of an infection, a typical zombie one especially? It just wears off over time? Yeah, it's a no from me, but thanks for taking the time to suggest. - [[User:FoxtrotJazzy|Foxtrot]] 18:57, 30 August 2009 (BST)

| |
| Infection is so feeble as it stands. Stop trying to nerf something that that is cured with a few AP's worth of searching and one to apply the FAK. --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 21:16, 30 August 2009 (BST)
| |
|
| |
| Im most likely to be infected after Ive just been revived. At this point my health is at 30hp anyway. As such stablilisation will do nothing to save me. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 11:51, 31 August 2009 (BST)
| |
|
| |
| Mm. As noted, it's a lot more efficient to use a FAK. For this to be a viable tactic, infection'd have to be only surgery-removable or something. Which is a suggestion that'll get shot down pretty quickly anyway, so. Thanks for putting some thought into it, though. [[User:RinKou|RinKou]] 07:14, 1 September 2009 (BST)

| |
|
| |
| '''All players'''
| |
|
| |
| For every 100AP a player spends they gain a level of hunger, each level of hunger removes 5HP from their '''maximum HP'''. There are 4 levels of hunger:
| |
| :*1 - Slightly hungry (Max HP = 45/55)
| |
| :*2 - Hungry (Max HP = 40/50)
| |
| :*3 - Very Hungry (Max HP = 35/45)
| |
| :*4 - Starving (Max HP = 30/40)
| |
| Hunger level appears beneath your name/HP/XP/AP in the form "You are {Hunger level}." only if you have a hunger level. Your hunger level is reduced back to 0 if you are killed/die/revived in either zombie or survivor form, the exception being if you are killed as a zombie by a zombie.
| |
|
| |
| '''Survivors'''
| |
|
| |
| Survivors can reduce their hunger level to 0 by eating 'Canned Food'. 'Canned Food' (*enc 2%) can be found in the following buildings:
| |
| :*Malls - Malls will also have a new area to search called 'food court' if the survivor has the shopping skill.
| |
| :*Mansions - Kitchens
| |
| :*Stadiums - Snack Stalls
| |
| :*Fort storehouses
| |
| :*Cinema - Snack stalls
| |
| :*Hotels - Restaurant
| |
| :*Pubs - Pub Lunch
| |
| :*Schools - Canteens
| |
|
| |
| '''Zombies'''
| |
|
| |
| Zombies can reduce their hunger by 1 level by biting a survivor. If the zombie has digestion their hunger level is reduced to 0.

| |
| Better than my old idea. Though there should also be a Thirst rating that affects maximum AP (zombies would not be affected) Here's my idea for thirst-related items:
| |
|
| |
| There would be a new Mall store called a "Food Court".
| |
| *Water Heater - ''Factories, Power Stations, Mall Hardware Stores, and Fort Storehouses.'' Can be installed in buildings, only works in powered buildings. In a watered building, survivors have the options to "Drink Water" (cures Thrist), "Fill Canteen" (fills 1 of the user's Canteens) and "Wash Clothes" (removes blood and fuel form clothes). Can be attacked, and has these damage levels: 'dented', 'battered', 'damaged', 'leaking', and destroyed.
| |
| *Canteen - ''Fire Departments, Warehouses, Mall Sports Stores, Fort Storehouses.'' Appears as either "Canteen (Full)" or "Canteen (Empty)". If you use a full Canteen, it cures thirst but empties the Canteen (can be filled fo 1AP in powered buildings with Water Heater).
| |
| *Fast Food - ''Cinema, Bar (Pub), Mall Food Court, Hotel, Fort Barracks.'' Cures Hunger, but, due to the diuretic nature of soda and grease of fast food, has a 50% chance of causing Thirst.

| No. Adding a hunger meter hasn't worked for any game, ever, (The Sims and its various ripoffs being exempt) and this is no exception. Too many new items would be implemented for something that will not be fun, innovative, or more than anything but an annoyance. The realism argument makes no sense either: If this were a realistic game, every police department would have long since ran out of guns and ammo, every FAK would have been consumed, and zombies wouldn't exist in the first place! --[[User:Johnny Yossarian|Johnny Yossarian]] 01:24, 29 August 2009 (BST)

| |
|
| |
| Now most of the time you can make an informed hypothesis about the ''probable'' effect of a particular change, and on little things you will be correct almost all of the time. For instance The "Just a Knife" suggestion, it only changed the name of a thing, this means that the effect will be near nil. Now let's say we are to consider the Augmented fear that's under discussion now, that one can pan out in a great number of ways some good, some bad, some that really don't make much difference and only addd complication. Now instead of being forced to either ditch it completely or implement it, why not create a city where large scale suggestion could be tested without breaking any of the other burbs?
| |
|
| |
| In this new testing city (Reffered to as NTC from here on) Kevan -or a particularly motivated team sanctioned by kevan- could implement new suggestions in full scale tests without hurting malton. This allows for suggestions to be refined further than they could be before by putting them under live-fire conditions, the residents of the NTC should probably mostly be suggesters themselves (if you know how to make something then you'll probably be better at ripping it to shreds as well) to help stress testing and so that they can provide experienced, intelligent *Eyes several people* feedback.
| |
|
| |
| I know every experienced Suggester here has/had something they would love to get testing for, but if we decided to test everything then the coding alone would be more demanding than mass genocide. So there would have to be a set of fairly rigorous conditions first, it would have to be of sufficient scope that beta-testing in the NTC would be worthwhile, and it would have to be passed by a sufficient majority of people willing to test it -willing to test, way different from voting keep. I would vote kill on most of the SMG suggestions i've seen, but there are a few i'd like to test out the intricacies of- so that if it is implemented there will be people to use it and provide sufficient feedback.

| It'd probably suffer from the same problems as Boringwood and Moronville - lack of participants. Sure, we might get a few hundred, but that's hardly representative of the ~25,000 in Malton. Also, I'd bet that certain players would stop using this NTC if something undesirable (to them) were to be implemented there.

| There's plenty of precedent for changing the rules mid-game in Monroeville, so this is effectively a dupe of in-game. All that's required is for Kevan to reopen the city and start tweaking the rules to try various options. It would, of course, be slow going, as you'd want to test each change individually and give each of them a while to show their effect before implementing another, but it'd be worth it, I think.--[[User:Necrofeelinya|Necrofeelinya]] 15:51, 27 August 2009 (BST)

| Okay the idea of special buildings for the items, I don't like at all. The items should be found ''''as they would be naturally found if implemented in malton.'''' That gives you a bit more accurate idea of how this will work, the point is not for this to be flooded with trenchies who want to test automatic shotguns, but for suggestions to beta tested on a small scale world that replicates malton. If the NTC is going to be 4-by-4 then there should be two forts and two malls (bit unbalanced, but we would need at least one that survivors can access at all times for testing) so if your SMG is found in an armory you go grab it ''from an armory'' not from a silo. If your Black powder rifle is found in a museum THEN IT IS FOUND IN A MUSEUM, and not in strange facilities, Etc. Zombies who beta should have the opportunity to start with one of the new zombie skills, survivors should have the opportunity to start with a new item. All big changes (hunger/fear/motorcycles/mutant space goats) would be implemented on '''''one particular quadrant'''''. This prevents weird feedbacks between different ideas, allowing you to test multiple ideas at the same time, just in different areas allowing you to preserve the purity of your tests. -[[User:Devorac|Devorac]] 20:37, 28 August 2009 (BST)

| brainguard, NO. Down, Stay would you kindly?. There would not be a public opening, the public might not want to play in a burb with ever changing rules and items, where you can't be sure that anything will be at all the same as the second before. The opening would be on a wiki page, open to all willing beta testers '''''who know full well what they are getting themselves into.''''' And there would be a cap on the number of people able to join total. -[[User:Devorac|Devorac]] 05:25, 31 August 2009 (BST)

| Alright then, man. This is a good idea. If Kevan doesn't take this up, I could always have a look at programming a city for us (I can't make any promises though). - [[User:FoxtrotJazzy|Foxtrot]] 12:16, 31 August 2009 (BST)

| : -both eyebrows raise- I'm impressed, if you could do that then most of us suggesters would be in your debt. -[[User:Devorac|Devorac]] 02:51, 1 September 2009 (BST)

| :: Yeah, I could definetely program one. Only problem is finding an online web server with a functional MySql database. I won't lie, I don't know much about web servers. - [[User:FoxtrotJazzy|Foxtrot]] 22:49, 2 September 2009 (BST)

| |'''Type:''' New city.

| |
| |'''Scope:''' Cool people.
| |

| |
| |'''Description:''' So we all know that Malton sucks balls. It's boring and everything is destroyed. Therefore, I say we open a new city - Climaxville. The city would be administrated by DanceDanceRevolution, Boxy and Devorac and that Kevan guy or whatever he's called would pay for the servers and shit. This way, when a good suggestion comes along, the guys can like, put it in their city right away and make the city awesome and whatso. The city would hold home to many cool and unique places including: the Wikipedia Building, Burger King and Bill Cosby's House. So, what do you think?

| While I appreciate being made administrator of a new city, I don't think that you should give that to someone who joined the wikipedia group less than a month ago. Also I would like to say, '''''WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING??!'''''
| |
| | |
| *Creation of a new area as a testing grounds for new ideas= awesome idea one that I will have to champion of your just going to be sarcastic.
| |
| | |
| *You being bitter because the majority of your ideas have died in flames= understandable.
| |
| | |
| *You doing something stupid to get back at people= Not the best maneuver, it not only makes you look like a dick but it also makes people equate "new testing city" with that sarcastic idea that a bitter suggester made.
