12 member gang limit?

Top players becoming captains is a major part of the incentives of actively participating, and allows anyone their chance to lead -- without requiring GBA friendship or 300k. "Hey let's just ****ing vote on it hurdur"

You never listen to players, literally every single player that has posted on the other thread has asked to not have to use a cheap chat command to remove your 'little bigger colorful' inventory every single time they log-in.

And you're not listening to me now, you're just doing whatever you want as usual.. which will lead to asking Fiber what he thinks about something beyond his range (since he can't PK/Lead either). Resulting in a system with a billion knobs that have nothing to do with gangs.

Your words, not mine.

I was merely offering suggestions/help, I'm not doing a thing until these ideas start becoming a plan. I also mentioned leaders being chosen based on their rank within the first day. And I was asking Fiber for graphics advice, nothing more.

As much as I'm not trying to start anything, I kind of agree with Rogue XD
With something as important as a new, possibly permanent, gang system, you're going to want to not "pull a Tim".

Listen to the ideas, understand the intent behind them (what problem(s) they're trying to solve), and implement them as they were originally envisioned, or if you are absolutely sure that you have a better solution to the problem, THEN do whatever you want. But if you do whatever you want, at least make sure it's solving the same problem, as effectively (or more effectively), as the original idea would have. And above all, don't over-complicate it to the point where people don't want to use it or dumb it down to the point that it doesn't do everything that it's supposed to.

That's why there needs to be a plan put in place. This isn't a project I was just going to wing, nor do I have to be the one that does it. Last time a gang system was made, it was released incomplete. We can't let that happen again.

This is kinda what I was getting at, as rude as I came off not understanding what he was saying... being that he didn't use direct quotes I thought ideas meant ideas. Silly me.

Sorry, I just kind of wanted this to be made perfectly, not Timized with a million customizations as other projects. The goal is to be simple and precise.

Amsel helped with the original concept and offered to help create it, and since then I got my Melon to 'help' should he have the time to offer. Just because I'm not on the team doesn't mean I can't get a lot of stuff done, I always have.. even when I was blacklisted.

If you really insist on mocking something up, me and Blue did some drawings:

We're pretty unanimous that a player-card layout would be better. It would prevent accidentally drafting a player with a double-click and would keep the list much more simple, preventing lag from loading a ton of information. Also a search bar would be nice. Not 100% on the timer, I think it would keep the draft from going forever.. but Blue says it could cause problems if there is lag or something.

Yawn. Ideas after ideas and none of them will ever be implemented and some of them i disagree with and so will others. Everyone has different opinions and views. Doesn't matter what happens from here on out. Era is dead.. It can't and wont be revived.

It's gameover guys. It would be sick if we had a good gang system with people raiding all the time etc but sadly it doesn't matter if you have the best system in place. The game is dead. Without the players how can you get the activity.


This game lacks advertisement and even if we had 100+ players daily the server wouldn't be able to cope.

I think it's time for most of you guys to start playing games that you pay for.. You get professional support/updates/gameplay.

Nothing to complain about.

(Lol at Wil. Nga thinks he's Floyd Mayweather of Era with that attitude.. Do what wil says and era will die much quicker)

The only reason it's dead is because the past, present and future Staff teams have killed it, not only with pointless and shitty updates or new things that drove players away but by simplying not allowing people to play once they did/do wrong.

I've been talking a lot with the current top staff of the current leading server "Delteria" all I've really talked about is how to not lose playercount and how to keep people interested. The main answer I got back was; "We don't ban people for more than 3 days, ever. other servers, Era being a big one, have banned players for years and years and that playercount of banned players who want to play builds up" Now don't get me wrong, I'm banned and I'm not making this post in hopes to be unbanned, I actually have a happy and fulfilled life without this piece of **** in it but I couldn't help but think; "holy ****, it's true." Do yourself a favor and start working with those doing the wrong, instead of eliminating them all together.

BlueMelon gave me the incentive to try to become a PR, I did, became PRA and helped remove 30mil of spawned, duped and otherwise illegal money from the economy.

It's quite simple really; You catch someone duping, you tell them they can keep half of it if they just tell you how it's done or how it's working... you fix it.

I know the management team did a few shoddy deals with players during that time and we eliminated MOST of the duping techniques, I even caught my own manager USDing.

Pointless rant and almost off-topic but we all know these threads always lead to; Era is ****, no player count, no idea will work bla bla bla

I can't fully wrap my head around Rogues idea but I usually agree 90% of the time with how he has handled gangs/guns in the past.

TLDR; little rant, unban everyone and watch the influx after advertisement.

Just the other day I was talking about this, it needs to be done, we're only hurting ourselves in the end.

btw, we managed to get over 100 players on average this weekend. So that's something, I suppose.

[Fiberwyre_P2P]

How's this?



P.S. Forgot the search bar. Whoops XD

Pretty much.

[shrimps]

A few years ago, everybody on Era was unbanned anyway. I think Calani did it? I don't remember, but yeah it's been done in the past.

[Fiberwyre_P2P]

To clarify something about the Good Friday Agreement, as far as I can tell, it only applied to prisoners who were serving sentences related to paramilitary activity. They weren't releasing your run-of-the-mill rapists and murderers.

And to clarify about the image I posted above (and below), that's just something I drew in Photoshop. It's not a working GUI or system (yet).

Also, just to add an idea of my own to it, what about being able to see details of the draft in progress?
kinda like this:


And one more thing. What would happen if the time ran out on someone's pick? The system chooses for them randomly?

I like that, I wanted to be able to see the draft results somewhere public so players can track it or view it after and see when they got chosen.

The timer wasn't 100% I kinda liked it so the draft wouldn't take too long, but Blue says with delay or server lag it could cause issues. If you didn't choose in the timer it would just go to the next persons selection, or just lock in the player you have currently 'selected'

By me saying all i never actually meant every single criminal. I meant exactly what you said but we don't have rapists and murderers on era so what are you talking about? We don't need any sarcastic replies to that sentence btw.

However, REAL criminals were released regardless. Why can't we release people from their bans on a 2D game? Just do it.

Oh and we know it's not a real system on era because we all know the chances of that is 100/1 or greater.

I read your idea.. I don't like it, random gangs wont work. You do realize era is a battleground full of trolls? They all hate each other.. Why would they raid together?

First off, please trim your quotes.. at least remove the huge images if not clip precisely to what you're responding to. Be presentable.

A lot of players have been unbanned recently from what I've seen running around the server. Godzilla is a different case because he had his chance to come back with an agreement that he would be permed if there was a 'next time'. This is all he ever posts about, and it's best to just ignore him.

You talk about sarcasm not being warranted then say this? Really?
The system was conceptualized not more than a week ago, and we already have mock-ups and graphics being made; as well as a handful of coders willing to create it because it's a fairly simple concept.

At this point we're not discussing the 'random gang' idea, and as Tim said there's plenty of individual ratings to chase after that should overcome petty quarrels.

I don't need to be presentable because in some of the things i said i wasn't writing for the world to see. I was talking directly to Fiber and he would understand what i was saying. Don't be nosy.

So you think because of some people that you know off was unbanned so that is everyone unbanned? Let me tell you, there is a hell of a lot of people banned on this game. More than you think.

Why keep Godzilla permanently banned? What's he a threat to? You permanently ban a guy for being constantly annoying then may i ask Rogue.. Why aren't you banned then?

At this point it doesn't matter what you discuss. Nothing in this thread will be done. Holy ****, when do you realize that?

At the last comment.. If you read back far enough i actually said that.

I also had to laugh at the presentable comment. You put more effort into presenting your comments than you ever did with your work on era but that's another story.
