Clan Change Idea (in General)


Stephen Young July 27 2005 5:08 AM EDT

First, I know that the Clan-Change-Idea-Naysayers saw this thread's title, began foaming at the mouth and cracking their knuckles, clicked on the thread to read whatever nonsense that I must have come up with, and reached for their handy, dandy, ever-so-popular bag of custom fitting "This Idea Sucks" responses. To these people I say: "At least give it a little thought." To these people I also say: "No, Clan-Change-Idea-Naysayer, this is not the best idea ever." And, with as much candor as I can muster, to these people I say: "Ni!"

Secondly, I refer you to this post: "I think a cool change would be if clans had salaries," A. K. A., "I have a Bad Idea."

Now... It's not that the highly enthusiastic Starkadhr Gudbrande doesn't have good intent in mind for all. It's just that this little nubie nuub hasn't been awound fowr wong enuff... so his ideas are a bit off the mark.

/me rubs the little nubie nuub's noggin.

However... It was something that Vestax mentioned near the bottom of that thread that led me to breaking out the ole thinkin' cap.

W A R N I N G
The following idea may cause severe burns to the eyes and/or ego due to the massive heat produced by subsequent flaming.

So, without further prorogation*:

The Idea
It is understood that all cash will only be introduced into the game via fights.
"Income," for the purpose of this idea, is referring to money, not XP.
A tiny little bit of income could be shaved off of the top of every clan member's rewards and then added to the "Clan Reserve"
The "Clan Reserve" would then be divided up similarly to the way that noobie nubb nub suggested in the previously reffered thread.
This change would increase the number of participating clans, as well as bolster teamwork while simultaneously urging more people to burn more BA.
More burned BA = More popular game for Jon.

Flame away

*This word is not a typo.

So Ranger loses some of his already-execrable rewards to pay the NUB king for his 7k CPs? I'm fine with that, but poor Dawg is getting by on nothing but cash. He has to pay Mikel too?

Hehehe. That almost makes my idea sound better, in-my-stupid opinionated-opinion.

I don't know if I should thank you or kick you! lol No, this is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. Except for your new name for my post and all the nubb nub business. You idea could be a nice solution to problem of where to get the "salary".
Also, please refer back to my origional post for more ideas on "clan battles" using a "clan character" or "mascot" (a character that only participates in "clan battles" which is made by copying one minion from each clan member).

I referred. Not likin' it so much. It's just not that great of an Idea. But... it does raise the eyebrow to the thought of some other kind of mini-game for CB2. All great games have Mini-games in them. Maybe something clan related?

Fun Fact that I just taught myself after doubting my ability to spell and checking Dictionary.com for the word bolster:

bol-ster (n.) A long narrow pillow or cushion.

Weird.

But the top clan member would earn the most rewards, therefore get the most shaved off, and then the most returned back as "salary". What's the incentive?

Stephen Young July 27 2005 8:53 AM EDT

I suppose that the ratios would need to be revised to a point that the top 1 or two clan members get more than they normally would.

Just say no to socialism. Equality of opportunity, not of outcome / reward. Rewards come from the battle itself - everyone has the same BA opportunities. A tax / progressive income redistribution system does not sound like it fits in with the game as it is designed around a capitalistic society.

Stephen Young July 27 2005 10:08 AM EDT

Kind of a good point.

Congratulations to Vampire King for using a word I don't know (that wasn't a typo :) ), but what does this all have to do with ending sessions of parlament?

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

^ Best movie of all time.

Princess Bride right?

Just to add on to the main idea here---if clans did have some way of earning clan "recources" then would it not be a good idea for clan "wars"? Compete for the recources the other clan has :P

Lol@Jon

Grant: Prorogue also means "to postpone."
