You can't please everyone. This is true. If you stay the same you stagnate. Without support of players and zone this can be true. If you try to change core players leave. This is not true it only moves the players that can't deal with change core players keep playing.
You can't measure the effects of change this is FALSE. You can watch zone population, which players had fun etc.
The loudest person only gets there way if you listen to them.
The next loudest person is the same.
Its up to those that run the zone to make the changes. They don't have to listen to anyone.
You need a leader to make the choices and the game will play.
The Game is the Game.
Each person has the choice of playing the zone or not. If you want the zone to grow play ships and invite people to play. if you want the zone to grow don't be a maroon.
If you want to be a maroon grow the zone and there will be lots of people for you to try and dominate or chase away.
I don't like losing bonus or rank. But i played anyway to support hallu. Each person that doesn't play kills the game they want to play.
I have many ideas of what i would do to increase players but its not my zone. I would have each reset winner be able to cast a vote for zone settings <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> if you want to see people play for a goal give a reward. Make a list of zone settings that are expectable Then if you win a category you get a vote. Or if you make it dependent on top 3 finishers you could stack the vote with 5votes winning a catagory 3votes for 2nd and 1 vote for 3rd. You could even give a squad a vote. Then winning a reset could allow you to do any of the chosen settings.
Then you get player involvement combined with player power. You earn you vote and in turn your vote effects the zone. Think how happy i would be with a 0 bounty start. How much Sue enjoys no bonus. See how happy ZIGGY is with a new map. Some players love DZA. Nude hates flags. You could add a vote for most deaths or most kills. Even biggest bounty. The key is to make people care. Add a vote for nopublic chat for demento and see lots of maroons play just to be able to shut me up. The great thing about this system is you would also find plenty of people who would fight to allow me to speak <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Think about how to get people to care. From that comes a good game. It is the apathy of people that kills a game. There need to force people out or the need to try and make people not have fun.
I enjoy helping anyone have fun that is willing to do the same for others.
If you like playing SS. Play ships. Cause one ship leads to 2 ships. 2 to 4 and so on
Chatting in spec doesn't lead to Playing unless you are talking about SS.
NO Flyie No Talkie!
otherwise its just a chat room and without an update SS is not facebook or twitter.
Now back to the gym <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Soon i will be gone but i will return.
I wish everyone success in their lives and hope that you find time to play 20 ships a day <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
and when i say play a ship its killing or dying that counts.
...Axe.
