Black Market Voting Guide (BMVG) - August (in General)

Quoting Admin Dudemus:

"the black market is a way for the community to come together in order to spawn items. usually one player will volunteer his time, and patience, for the black market vote guide. there is nothing official about the guide and it is just that, a guide. you may follow it or not as you please."

With that in mind, a vote for Halidon Familiar is a vote for democracy! A vote for Heavy Crossbow is a vote for anarchy!

Halidon Familiar 20 48 58.3%

w00t!

Heavy Crossbow 6 10 40.0%
Woot!

"if you do not think the black market serves a purpose any longer, the bmvg (black market vote guide) is not the place to pursue that stance. the devs would love to hear from you and you can take that matter up with them. lodging protest votes for any reason is also perfectly acceptable. advertising those in the bmvg is not, due to the fact that it is meant to be a community building experience. the bmvg is not here to tell you how to vote. it is here simply for those wanting to contribute to the community in one of the few ways we have to do so. please do not bump the bmvg too often! i feel that once a day is sufficient. to be clear that is once a day by anyone, so if someone else has posted that today they voted for the item, that is the bump for the day. if you have any questions please cm Dudemus. also, i really don't like the idea of of sending messages to people to get them to vote a certain way. the bmvg should be enough of a reminder and if people aren't voting they may have a reason. "

Thought you quit.

The honest truth, as I see it, is that the BM is blah.

The last few items we have spawned are tattoos. Right now I think anyone needing a base tattoo can get one fairly easy via the forums.

If we are to really make the BM worthwhile again, it would have to include supporter items. Any other item right now is readily available.

Yes, I know if we include supporter items, that is less USD that people will spend on supporter items when they need them.

But it is a trade-off. Do we basily stick with a BM that is fairly obviously useless in its current state, or do we change things up?

Can we even spawn other items beyond tattoos? I don't think we can.

Ranger, we tried. Gun made a bmvg to spawn an item with 96 votes.

we suceed to reach more than 70, but than votes expires and we get on a loop.

Thas why we now spawn what is possible, tatoos. Each time he most wanted or less spawned.

Don't put anything off on me and read what he was saying.

if u dont know how to read, here it is again:

"if you do not think the black market serves a purpose any longer, the bmvg (black market vote guide) is not the place to pursue that stance. the devs would love to hear from you and you can take that matter up with them. "

I've started another thread where we can argue about discuss the Black Market in a more vitriolic thorough fashion.

Meanwhile, Halidon Familiar continues to gain votes.

FF!

I would hope people realize that with the new tattoo artist and weapon smith changes, base level tattoo and weapon are needed more than before.

Whether or not people vote as a community or cast "protest" votes to be cool and different is everyones personal decision.
