1) Do you feel there is enough incentive for players to try to acquire and keep territories through non-violent means (e.g. plotting, scheming, intrigue, making alliances, etc.)?
There isn't a whole lot of incentive i feel like, BUT, it would be really hard to encourage something else? Until there are more territories, currently the only real way to procure a territory is through a battle... so maybe a bit less competition will lead to other more diplomatic routes?
2) What are your feelings toward the government system? Do you think it works, should be nixed, or could be improved in some way?
I still really like the idea of the government systems. Maybe this is something that more or less needs "enforced?" Once an in game year everyone votes or battles or bargains for their government type. Perhaps instead of just allowing anarchy, the isles should be forced to come to some sort of agreement on the other options.
3) Do you feel that we should continue marking RP battles on grammar and spelling?
While I think spelling and grammar are important and should continue to be considered, I do think there should be some differences with the RP battle rubric. I've also seen a lot of times where judges have said the battle was so close and hard to judge. I think having a more defined rubric would alleviate this. X amount of grammar and spelling mistakes equals X points off. I think having a wider range such as 1-10 for categories would make it easier to assign values and their penalties. The more defined the rubric, the less subjective the judgement is and the less harsh feelings come from the battle system.
Personally, I would like to see more emphasis on the actual attacks and defenses. Just because it is realistic or not, doesn't necessarily mean it is a good move strategically. If this makes any sense... please talk to me more if you want clarification and i'll try to force my brain to put it into better words.
I am GLAD that spelling and grammar are important. Well written posts are easier to read and more fun and challenging. I think a lot of us really value that this game improves us in some way. I know personally I've learned a lot and have had to improve my writing.
4) Do you think TLI is ready for the new territories to be opened? Would you claim one if they were?
Short answer, yes? Maybe a few? I'm not sure WHO but I would eventually like to claim a territory with one of my pons.
5) In our previous discussion, several players expressed their support for the idea of utilizing random events for experience (i.e. characters who got involved would gain exp). What do you think of this idea? How would you go about implementing it?
This is a great idea! I'm will think about this question some more and update. I think it is important with such a battle heavy atmosphere to have other ways to gain experience points. it may be beneficial to START with a simple system and then if it is heavily utilized, we could discuss ways to make it better.
6) Do you think that battle limits for the Peak/Lagoon should be lifted or loosened? Specifically, that they should be allowed to issue more than 1 challenge per season?
EH I think as long as not EVERYONE was able to go hot wild and challenge, the compromise idea would be best. 2 challenges per seems fair.
7) Do you think the minimum and/or maximum height limits should be lifted or loosened? And if so, how should we handle any technical issues that arise?
I kind of like the limits honestly. I think maybe they could be widened a bit, say 12.2-18.2 to take into account SOME smaller/larger breeds BUT i think there needs to be limits. I also think that maybe considering body type in battles should maybe a thing though. for breeding purposes, eh. maybe you could impose some sort of range of acceptable breeding? like 3-4 hands max difference of heights or something? IDK on that one...
8) Do you have any other suggestions to improve the game? Or any concerns you would like to express?
you guys are the best and we love and appreciate you very much. <3 Replies:
