Improving the server is something I'm constantly trying to do.

Follow this format, and I'll reply as often as possible.

Suggestion:

I guess we need more Long-Term events. I heard something like dat dragon only lasted for some short ass time. Well, if we already had some long-term events, I would be good if we keep them up.

How it will help RP in the long term:

It will make players constantly rping. It can bear good time to think of more good long term events while one's already occurring.

Any possible negative to this idea:

Well, if the event is some havoc causing bastard or something, some people will powergame to beat dat guy's ass.

Time-Frame of when you'd like to see it implemented:

Everytime, it'll last for long days I guess.

Lol for the short post.

I'm not currently aware of how the story line is being driven currently, but as for long term events/RP and storyline movement, I'd suggest static characters that can play a dynamic role in the storyline of a wipe....

Wait, we already have dynamic characters that can play this role, they are the ranked characters. However, from what i've seen so far this wipe, and has been a noteable feature of other wipes i played back in the day, events have little to nothing to do with the rank RP/storyline. Event characters show up out of the blue and become a large threat immediately and are either dealt with, or prelude a large battle to come.

This i think could be worked in a different manner, where ranked players are, in an OOC fashion, let in on the major storyline development of the wipe and RP a part in this throughout.

Another method of making ranked characters more storyline included would be to make all events based on the characters that have been developing through the wipe. For example, bad character on Earth gains a significant but not entirely awesome boost that would be temporary. Say added 500 base at a given point, and at the conclusion have 500 base removed when they have lost their power. (say they scientifically modified there body with a syrum, the conclusion of the 'event' ends with them dead or loosing the effectiveness of the syrum, or access to it ). In this way the ranks can play an important and ongoing event role provided they dont get the boost and then run around trying to kill everyone and everything and thus destroy the planets RP or themselves on the first day.

The basic idea of that would be to have a rank character develope or be included in an event type role, guided or helped by admins to produce a dynamic event character.

---"Suggestion"---

My suggestion is this. Human, but NOT Humain. Humans have all the brains, but none of the wisdom. They are VERY greedy. A group of Human scientists create an army of Androids of incredible power. These androids obey every command of a full blooded Human. Now, all races are banding togeather to defeat the Human Supremests. But is it possible?

---"How it will help RP in the long term"---

Starting a war to defend the Galaxy would make a very dramatic and in depth RP!

---"Any possible negative to this idea"---

It is possible for the good guys to lose. You never know.

---"Time-Frame of when you'd like to see it implemented"---

30-70 Years. This IS a war, after all.


Whatcha think? ^w^

No idea will improve the storyline. Especially if it has some central villain.

Why?

Faggots will make a beeline for the "event" because narrators don't know how to frickin' narrate.

Then the event will die a bullshit death and the event will be over.

Fayte's EMs REALLY need to learn how to remain consistent. Their events, although they're pretty repetitive, are narrated so terribly.

They should stick with a more efficient point of view that they can just copy and paste into the story tab.

I know for a fact that Lockem back when we were friends on Finale had a limited objective point of view way of narrating <these days not so much since the faggot mains as a rewarder>

The guy would never show the thoughts. He would never show voices unless the voices could be heard everywhere somehow.

He would only show what would be seen from afar or sensed. That's what Fayte's admins have to do.

The current narrator has either poor grammar, bad flow of POV, or filler that you would not even take into consideration.

Hold on, who are you, Rodent?

You seem to know a lot about me. It's really scary.

I know about your fanclubs, your 1.6 history, and your terrible understanding of Marxism.

I know about your wealth, your education, and your age.

You probably don't remember the package incident. I do, though, you little faggot.
