Re: Community Tipjar
There'd be people getting about 7+ tips in a day and rotating this round until everyone has one of each. Sure, it's only once a year, for an hour but still.
If you want to bring people together, try to run events that aren't lame/smallscale or such. Song had some great teamwork for a while with our group hunts and Cosmpiercer stuff. People bonded over that.
Run monthly stuff, weekly stuff and etc. There are a lot of ways to encourage a community to come together and feel a part of something.

Re: Community Tipjar
People would abuse the system. Not everyone cares as much about the RP implications/community sense or acts as unjaded as you do.
Also, what kind of RP are you getting up to in Malice...?

I understand the sentiment, but admin anonymity is important here, to avoid any sense of bias or unfair judgement in handling issues.Kestrel said:I know this is probably reeeeeeally low priority and mind of a vanity request, but I wish there was a way to see who's handled your issue so you could say thank you to them personally.

Re: Current Cosmpiercer Issues
Fuck yeah, all the guards get jettisoned out of the piercer and there's a window where the cosmpiercer becomes an empty arena for the two factions.Mavis said:To add onto this, why not make it so that when a cosmpiercer was liberated the controlling faction is alerted and then they get a chance to defend? So the attacking faction needs to sit on the CP control points for a few minutes to allow time to defend? Or even make it alert all three factions and winner of any pvp claims control? Just thoughts to encourage cosmpiercer play. As it is now only the Ishvani guards don’t do the multiplying attacks. Granted some Ishvani CPs have scatterhome and song guards still.BeepBoop said:I agree this needs to be fixed, but before that happens I kind of want to see it to be much easier to even start to defend cosmpiercers. The only reason we've seen any pvp is because people have been dying to cosmpiercers and defenders got lucky in guessing which one they were hitting, and managed to fly out before the attacking group found the control point.
I WANT THIS.

Re: Scatterhome Administrators
It doesn't matter anyway. Once referendums start counting influence we might have to reverse all these decisions. If that does happen the best course of action is to discuss the jurisdiction and expectations of a position should be. This way they are allowed to do their job that they were voted into.
Meaning a full reset. Getting rid of ambassadors position completely if it gets voted out. Which I support if the role is to be neutered.
For those of you who keep supporting total chaos, there are people in Scatterhome who aren't there for total chaos. The link I provided in my earlier post even says there are other types of people residing in Scatterhome such as revolutionist, criminals, and etc. To base the entire system anarchy alone is wrong because there are clearly other people here to maintain a semblance of self governing stated in my previous post.
Second paragraph, first sentence from the provided link: It's a rallying point within the Starmourn sector for anarchists, revolutionaries-in-hiding, criminals on the run, and other rule-breaking, lawless misfits, but also contains a healthy population of wealthy mining magnates, heads of interstellar corps, and others who appreciate the finer things in life in an environment light on regulation.
That's right! There are more than just anarchist who lives in Scatterhome. We also see that it says light on regulation which implies that there are regulations, it's just light regulations though.
It's canon. Get over it.

Solus said:Do me a favor folks and look at https://www.starmourn.com/scatterhome/ and scroll down to "How is Scatterhome "Governered"
First sentence in this is : "While there's no government, the citizens of Starmourn have worked out a system of governing themselves, for regardless of their antipathy for formal government, someone has to be able to command their armada, someone has to be able to spend Marks on the city's behalf, and so on.".
Someone HAS to do it, folks, so can we put people in these positions and let our faction progress, please?
Second important sentence: "Essentially, this system means that those who work to help Scatterhome (in the ways that can be measured at least) will have vastly greater influence over the goings-on in the city than those who don’t, and anyone can submit Calls to do a variety of things.".
Stop getting mad when votes don't go your way, please. If you don't like the results then raise your influence higher and gather people who agree with you so that the next time you put up a call you can influence our faction the way you'd like.

Re: Scatterhome Administrators
Historically speaking, IRE factions that prize infighting as an identifier (or just have infighting as an identifier) have not fared well. See: Hashan in Achaea.
Stability is necessary for a faction to thrive. Then again, maybe Scatterhome will be different.

Re: Upcoming PVP changes
This is not a roleplay enforced game. It is a roleplay encouraged game. Any IC punishment should come from the players, not the admin. You should have a reason to pvp with someone. If you do not, you are liable to be attacked and kill in return. Simple as that.

Re: Scatterhome Administrators
I like this, especially the part about expectations.Minion said:
Scatterhome straight up bucks the idea that you need a government to survive. The problem is people coming in and expecting it to be stable. It obviously isnt intended to be.
The expectation that bothers me most is that everyone will be consulted on every detail of every decision.
No one's calling a referendum on how many ships and guards to hire or where to station them. We chose our marshals, we expect them to be competent and make it work. But people aren't letting the rest of the government do the same.
We should have had at most one referendum about ambassadors: yes or no? If yes, the paperpushers should have requested the position to be added with the powers they felt appropriate.
Instead, FT and news are wasting bandwidth and disk space because, "Oh no I wasn't properly represented, now ambassadors might be able to edit FHELP even though most people don't want them to and that is absolutely a hill I must die on."
People will say, "Even if FHELP powers aren't that important, it's the principle of the thing. We should let the people decide!"
I say the Scatterhome attitude should be, "Principle be damned!" If the government's constantly pestering us with questions about trivial details, we should view that as an unwelcome intrusion and a sign of incompetence on the part of the administrators.
