Will so called "GOLD" count as cb money as well. Or will it only account to the contest that we partake in

Hmm.. Personally, I don't really like the "invade another division" thing.. I was kind of against that in the past suggestions, but I don't really think thats to big of a deal, but to lock a division out of their own sub forum, even for 2 days, seems a bit much to me.

Also, since everything will be kept track of... via paper and pencil I guess.. lol... Does that mean we won't be getting a new currency system similar to vbux?

Precisely.

Name changes are free anyway, and everything else that was offered by vbux isn't viable now.

So then what does that do for GFX teams? Since there is no point system or currency system, a lot of gfx teams will be less inclined to do sigs or avatars for people.

They can trade apples and oranges :P

Even if a currency was implemented, there's pretty much nothing that we can offer. Money is useless if it can't get exchanged for anything.

I dont like some of the things you can do with the Gold tbh. Stuff like invading the divisions, negative repping. I like the rewards, but the "attacking another division" thing I am not too fond of.

So I guess this turns it into fullbore competition mode? Sounds kinda fun, I hope my division can keep up.

And how about CB Idol? Does that count as our division project for this new term?

I also agree with Barbaroi, the gfx teams kind of need some form of incentive or reason to make sigs/avis in the shop. Like the Killa Crew for example is closed because they dont get benefits from making other people things.

edit: Silv, thats the word I was looking for, INCENTIVE, lol :)

I also agree with the GFX problem. People are lazy enough when it comes to gfx as it is. Now we definitely have no incentive to continue GFxing. I mean only a few shops are up and running and only god knows when they will stop

Neg repping is just out of the line. People get reputation because they have done something worth of it or they have deserved it. Just giving anyone have the power to neg rep that person because of a Divisional Prize is unacceptable. Negative repping should be only done when you think that person deserves it. Heck, none of the members does it really. Why do it now?

I didn't join the Gotei Project to be punished by this so called "prizes". How about you put the stick away and hand out carrots instead?

I asked the same question. It applies to everyone. Donators included.

Cassie
05-30-2008, 02:23 AM
The only prizes offered are the ladder prizes, and the only punishment is upon failing contests. Everything else are only options. Use them if you like, don't use them if you don't like. If you're going to complain about failing contests, you should be doing something else.

Barbaroi
05-30-2008, 02:32 AM
Well, tbh, I don't think its complaining about losing. It's more or less complaining about some prizes, like the -rep or invasion of other divisions/locking them out, shit like that. No one intends to lose, nor do I think anyone wishes to lose. No one likes to lose, its human nature. It's just the fact that some of the prizes, IMO go to far.

The changing of avatars, userbars, sig space, etc etc, is fun, because then you could do something FUNNY to someone else, however, -rep someone or a whole division, by 50 points, is kind of stupid, because people, at least some, work hard for their rep. And for the invading another division, as much as I wouldn't mind helping another division out with ideas, I don't want someone to be stealing our ideas either.

I don't know. Some of the ideas to me, don't really seem like "fun" ideas, just more like "haha, lets try to piss you off for a week" type ideas.. which is only fun for a portion and not the group as a whole.

Just my opinion though...

Like I said, they're there as an option. In most cases, I except them to not be used, considering the heavy price to be paid, both monetarily and morally. However, everything has a cause and effect. There is always a reason behind attacks. Guns don't kill people, people do. Anywho, If it really becomes a problem, they will be removed, but nothing has happened yet, nor has anything happened in the past to cause reasonable doubts.

Kamina
05-30-2008, 03:52 AM
Im again agreeing with Barbaroi. Its only fun when taken so far, and some of these things seem a little out of hand. And giving somebody the option of neg repping someone like that is pretty mean. The consequences of losing are just too heavy, kinda makes it not so fun anymore.

And if you know that most wont use them, why cant you just get rid of them? Dont see this as a problem, I dont think anyone would complain. Ridicule is only fun for 10 year olds, its not what I would call good fun.

Mr. Killa
05-30-2008, 04:01 AM
i really have to agree with the others that a few of these "options" shouldnt even exist as "options"

50 gold - Rep -5 to a divisions members
100 gold - Lock a Division out of their forums - for 2 days (cannot be purchased during last 2 days of a contest)
150 gold - Invade another Division - for a week (cannot be purchased during a contest)
150 gold - Rep -25 to a Division's members
250 gold - Rep -50 to a divisions members
300 gold - Invade all Divisions - for a week (cannot be purchased during a although it says a week, it will only last until the beginning of the next contest)
300 gold - Lock all other Divisions out of their forums - for 2 days (cannot be purchased during a contest)

So with this contest that was just created who ever wins gets 100gold, they could do any number of things already. heck just passing twice and not even placing and i could neg rep a whole division by 5. Doesnt seem right to me

you say guns dont kill people, people kill people.
well people made guns, and people use guns to kill people

you cant say that the "option" was only created, but not expected to be used.
thats making the gun and giving it to people, thats creating a bad option that shouldnt exist IMO


idk, i just no personally that i would be less inclined to be active in the gotei if i got locked out of my division for 2 days, especially if every division was locked out, 2 whole days of no gotei activity what so ever =o

or if i got repped -50 cause a division saved up some "gold" =/

Asuka
05-30-2008, 04:55 AM
Seriously. All but, three or four of those options in the shop are to attack other divisions. How is that for an award incentive?

'C'mon! Let's make gold so we can neg rep 12th Division' (Sorry, Killa was the last to post, first division) doesn't really sound like something I can see many people of gotei saying, especially since so many of us are friends.

I understand you keep saying don't use them if you don't want to, but can you include more options so we can reward ourselves rather than attack someone else?

Ai
05-30-2008, 05:09 AM
Some things will need to be modified for sure but overall your on the right track.

Cassie
05-30-2008, 05:18 AM
The consequences of losing are just too heavy, kinda makes it not so fun anymore.

There aren't any consequences for losing. None whatsoever.

The -rep is rep points, not rep power. -50 is quite insignificant.

Anywho, I personally refuse to remove any of the current prizes until a problem results from it. I feel that you deserve the right to do things of this magnitude when you win contests, while facing the possible consequences. You guys talk as if you all have loads and loads of Gold to play with, and that everyone is out to get you, but that's just not the case.

I understand you keep saying don't use them if you don't want to, but can you include more options so we can reward ourselves rather than attack someone else?

We had a hard time thinking of any meaningful positive options as rewards for gold. There are already rewards from the Ladder, and what used to be available through vbux isn't available anymore. If you have any specific requests, feel free to PM me or any other C46 member. We'll try to accommodate you and add new rewards as good ideas pass through.

I admit, most of the gold rewards are there to "attack" other divisions, but only in a friendly way. None of them are capable of causing any serious damage, with maybe the exception of the -rep. But if you're going to make a fuss out of a little bit of rep, you're taking things too seriously, same with being locked out for 2 days.

Kamina
05-30-2008, 05:26 AM
Well, rep points are way different than rep power. You didnt specify which, si I guess we all just figured rep power (or only I did, who knows).

I like the controlling sigs and avis though, sounds like a lot of fun. That will be what most divisions will probably use.

Mr. Killa
05-30-2008, 05:34 AM

instead of getting rid of it now, were just gonna wait till someone gets neg repped and then obviously complains?

You guys talk as if you all have loads and loads of Gold to play with, and that everyone is out to get you, but that's just not the case.
it seems fairly easy to get, i mean first place gets 100gold, not even placing and you get 25g.. it is possible to buy the biggest item in the store after only 4 contests

but if you only visit your division in cb ?
dont make such a fuss if you get locked out for 2 days ? =/

and like i said, if the whole gotei was locked out... 2 days of no gotei activity at all?






we have no choice in the matter i think is what really erks us. it just a matter of saving up gold..

perhaps add "invisible immunity" as rewards, like 9th div can buy immunity from -repping, or being locked out, or any of the others. Then if a division tries to use one of those things on 9th they have immunity from it, then it dissapears, and the division that attacked loses their gold for a failed attack

Asuka
05-30-2008, 05:39 AM
Yeah, you didn't specify on the Rep issue. It does just say -5 to division, etc.

And since rep is, like, the only way people can express their thanks or appreciation (besides saying thanks) for members who make sigs or give them gifts or something. That to take it away is making their hard work for nothing. Though points aren't as bad as power.

And I don't think everyone's freaking out like others are out to get them, just seems like with those only being the options, the 'attacking' that's what you want us to do.

Maybe it'll create the competitive spirit the gotei needs, who knows.

If you have 'attacks', then you there should be a 'defense' to it.

Cassie

Complaints comes with the territory of doing things. A little bit of complaining is fine.

it seems fairly easy to get, i mean first place gets 100gold, not even placing and you get 25g.. it is possible to buy the biggest item in the store after only 4 contests

4 contests is 2 months. Basically, if you win every contest, you get to do something every 2 weeks. I'd say that it's a fair reward for the amount of work that it takes to win contests.

but if you only visit your division in cb ?
dont make such a fuss if you get locked out for 2 days ? =/

and like i said, if the whole gotei was locked out... 2 days of no gotei activity at all?

There are a lot of people who don't show up in their divisions for 2 days or more. There are also a lot of people who never contributes to contests. While, it's only the case for some, 2 days pass by pretty quickly.

we have no choice in the matter i think is what really erks us. it just a matter of saving up gold..

I'd love to give out choices in everything, but it's hard to get it perfect on the first try. If there are serious problems, there will be instant changes, you have my word on that, but until then, nothing is fool proof.

perhaps add "invisible immunity" as rewards, like 9th div can buy immunity from -repping, or being locked out, or any of the others. Then if a division tries to use one of those things on 9th they have immunity from it, then it dissapears, and the division that attacked loses their gold for a failed attack

I had thought about immunity, but I think in most cases that'll be what every division ends up buying. I included some of these rewards because I felt that they're good to loosen things up and to have some fun. If divisions just sit and buy immunity, these rewards lose their purpose. I also understand that they're a double edged sword, and can be used for evil just as easily as for good, but I'm an optimist.

Once again, things are open for changes, but at least give them a shot first.

Asuka
05-30-2008, 05:54 AM
Perhaps a limit on them.

Ex: A division can only purchase a given immunity once a month. And an 'attacking' division cannot attack the same division twice in one month.

Or every couple of weeks.

Though I know rewards are kept secret, you know someone is going to say something to boost and if 9th is boosting about locking 12th out all the time, then 12th might feel like 9th is out to get them and retaliate in a more negative fashion, such as flames and such.

Edit: On a more positive note: I like the new contest system. Hope it works out.

Mount Gay
05-30-2008, 05:57 AM
I don't know why you are all so mad. Who cares seriously. I mean this is for fun, if you get shut out or are invaded it sounds like fun to me. This makes it more fun, spices up the competition and makes it worth trying, and we need that since in the past there has been a lack of activity. Plus don't get mad about penalties, they are here to keep you active. I really think there should be more prizes like the ones you are complaining about cause I think they make it fun. Plus if you are locked out I am sure you have other ways of communicating with members. No use complaining, this is for fun, not for everyone to flip out and ***** over something that is there to make it more interesting.

Cassie

For purposes like this, I can add a prize that gives immunity against a specific division.

Kamina
05-30-2008, 06:01 AM
I dont like the immunity idea that much. Kinda takes the fun out of attacking other divisions. But I dont like the taking over the other division or the rep. Everything else seems game for me.

Ai
05-30-2008, 06:01 AM
Or you simply make it that once you've bought immunity if an attack is made and the immunity saves you it then disappears.

Mr. Killa
05-30-2008, 06:03 AM
i think the immunity is needed. tho that might be what the divisions buy that is their option as you've stated before, there are consequences to everything just like you said. If a division buy immunity and noone attacks them than thats that. put an expiration on them of a month or something.

Once you get attacked that immunity dissolves anyways like i said before...
this also digresses divisions from attacking each other as their gold might be wasted by an pre purchased immunity by that division.


I also understand that they're a double edged sword, and can be used for evil just as easily as for good, but I'm an optimist.

optimistic that ppl wont use these attacking options, or optimistic that these attacking options will have a good effect?

Mount Gay
05-30-2008, 06:03 AM
No immunity in my opinion. It will make it fun and create rivalries. I think it will all be in good fun. :)

If you have to have immunity make it last a week or something, then it is gone+what Ai said.

Asuka
05-30-2008, 06:08 AM

^ I like this option about the immunity, but for the sake of keeping things fun, we could do add Ai's option as well. V

That way people don't just buy immunity right away.

Or you simply make it that once you've bought immunity if an attack is made and the immunity saves you it then disappears.

@Killa: I think he's got optimist for the attacks having a good effect and creating a competitive environment that'll encourage the divisions to participate in the contests

05-30-2008, 06:13 AM
New option:

100gold - Immunity against the next attack from a specific division (cannot have more than one active at a time)

BTW, for those who may have misunderstood, Invading a division = being able to visit that division's forums and interact with them without their permission. Nothing about taking over.

05-30-2008, 07:16 AM
just a slight thought, since we have these small little division contests (we'll have more in time), it can be problematic when we get locked out of a div for 2 days, throws off schedules and that

just a small concern :)

Mount Gay
05-30-2008, 08:27 AM
Well sucks for you then kensei. Just submit via PM or something.

I still don't like being immune from anyone. I think the only reason we should have immunity in the first place is if one division is angry and just retaliating against another thats all. Otherwise as long as its all good natured we don't need immunity from everyone. At least put a time table on it, like a week so that if you get it and no one attacks you feel like you wasted it, so there is risk involved. Or maybe make attacks that cost a lot more that can't be blocked by immunity?

Mr. Killa
05-30-2008, 02:04 PM
well if theres only 1 contest every two weeks, putting a week timeline on the immunity is completely pointless.

its fine how it is now with expiring once someone tries to attack you


if there is an attack, there should always be a way to defend.



the risk involved is simple, do we waste our money on immunity when we might not get attacked, or do we spend it wisely and buy immunity and have another group waste their money on a failed attack.

quite honestly, just like the attacking options, this is just another option

Well JB I think everyone will just get immunity and there will be very little attacks, and they will just keep getting immunity making attacks pointless thats why they should expire after a week or two. Also you compare the two options of buying or not and it's pretty obvious, which just shows what everyone will do.

I really like the ability to attack and bypass any immunity I mean the attack could be really powerful and you can't stop it :P.

You shouldnt really get locked out of your division, not everyone prefers this and has no funnybone or sportsmanship on this. This will only just cause INACTIVITY imo.

Yeah, Being kicked out of the division forums will seriously kill our activity. I seriously post alot in the 10th division, and I wouldn't like to get suspended from doing that, even for 1 day.

Tbh i am not liking it...
I mean i figured the point of the gotei 13 was to have fun competitions and stuff, and like i think it was barb said, messing wit someones sig or avatar for a couple of days is a laugh and a bit of fun... but to lock someone out of their div for a few days, well that's just going to promote inactivity, that and if one div picks on another and keeps winning, then eventually the picked on div is going to give up and then you've created a whole inactive div...
More emphasise on the carrot methinks, forum invasion sounds like it could be interesting as well, as long as they don't get too carried away and spam up the whole place or delete loads of things...

Askand
06-01-2008, 11:42 AM
My two cents
No to the lock on the divisions. As the others said is not fun. How would you feel if you loose a contest and someone comes and kick you out of your own house for a few days? I mean the divisions are the heart of the project and giving someone the price of locking others divisions is like saying I can take you out for loosing and you dont deserve to be here. The divisions are the place where most people seek companionship and to discuss things that maybe outside them they cant. IF you take that out most of the people will eventually leave. So sorry but I'm against this prize the others seems ok as long as they dont cause friction on the people.

Edgey
06-01-2008, 03:10 PM
Locking the Divisions will give people an opportunity to see the members who spam out the Div forums and don't post anywhere else on CB, plus if a certain Division is locked for two days then it may well increase activity around the rest of the forum.

For one I agree with all the prizes, I mean come on, it's only a bit of fun for God's sake, changing avatars/Userbars/Usertitles for a week would be a blast even if it's me on the recieving end! As for locking Divisions, it;s for two days, I'm sure you can live without a Div forum for two days -_-

Cassie
06-01-2008, 03:20 PM
The two immunity options can protect any division from any type of direct attacks from any division. If being locked out is your only concern, then simply purchase the 150g immunity option. If your concern is being picked on by another division, then purchase the 100g immunity option.

Dradam
06-01-2008, 03:23 PM
I reckon the avas and userbars could be a laugh, hell even forum invasion sounds like it could be a bit of a laugh...
But getting locked out like that, no i have to disagree...
I think that it could easily lead to people going inactive...

silverwolf801
06-01-2008, 04:29 PM
I think that the locking of the division will definitely not boring inactivity. because then you are saying that divisions will discontinue contest if they do not win, what is that. I think that this will make people work harder. If your division will go like aww man I can't believe this happened to us, well then you all should have worked harder.

If the same thing kept on happening like aww man someone changed my avatar, then that would really start to get boring and tedious. Every time you get a new avatar up someone takes it away.

Dradam
06-01-2008, 05:31 PM
I'll admit it now, i didn't understand the first bit of that post...

I think the main problem will lie in if one div keeps winning it over and over and over again, if they choose a single over div to bully so to speak, then that div's members may very well choose to leave the project. Which i think will lead to a fair number of inactive members and maybe even divs.

My only concern with this prize is that although the divisions work harder what will happen if there is moment that no matter how hard you work you still do not win?
Maybe most people wont choose this option but how you think people will feel when they found out they cant go to hang out with their div member cause someone from another division locked them out? That could make some animosity between the divisions instead of competition. This is a double edge prize. It could work out but it could also kill the project. I will like to suggest a poll for this prize and see if people wanted or not.

Yea i agree with Asky, non of the negative prizes should be allowed its just gonna cause hostility. Or atleast change it so it doesn't look Hostile, I mean the "invade another division" should be something like "merge with another division" 'cause ive known members in the past who said when there divisions were merged it was alot of fun.

Alternative Applicant Procedures

Due to the fact that some divisions are just damn popular while other divisions are not, I'm suggesting alternate methods for applying to Gotei/VEQ

Method 1: Black Out Period for Division

Divisions that have over a certain number of members regardless of if they are full or not, should be put on a black out period from accepting applicants to allow for interest in the less popular divisions to grow.

This may not work, however, because people may wait for the divisions to open up.

Method 2: Division Placement

Rather than having new applicants apply to a single division, they apply in one thread, and C46 discusses with the captains and sees which captain is willing to accept said member. This works just like the old academy method of picking up members (without the whole needing to graduate and such)

Method 3: Division Shuffle

Ask members if they're willing to change divisions to even out the divisions. Allow for them to 'try' out the new division for a couple of weeks, and if they don't like it, they can return to their old division.

I'm only suggesting this because I'm noticing that the same divisions (Not they're fault of course) are getting tons of applicants while other divisions sit waiting for just one.

Edit:

:facepalm: Silly Sky is silly. I posted this in the wrong thread. Should have gone in suggestions.

Or Method 4: Competent Captains That Recruit.

Popularity is nothing more than publicity.

On the other hand, the academy might be coming back, depending on when our admins decide to show up again.

Or that. *shrug* Though some divisions are just popular because of their status on the show.

I like this idea, but i have to say that not all divisions are equal and if a captain is more active then another it automatically gives them the advantage i think. :confused:

Question: When will the top three divisions in the ladder get the tall avvies??

It was totally supposed to be in effect after contest 64....

It's supposed to have been implemented already.

We are in second, and none of the members except for the donators, ((And Panther King)) can use tall avas.

Cassie

Well, the information was relayed to admins a while back. Whether they actually get implemented is up to them.

Probably will be done sometime soon I would assume. With all the maintenance going on.. I'd just be patient and give it a few days.

Its ok, just a question. It doesnt really effect me either way.

Question: For the teams leading in the ladder, it says that they get 150x250 avas among other perks....
What would those other perks be?

Dunno but we'll think something up...Maybe something like "One free Shop item" :D....

*Ai Shrugs..*

They're mentioned in the Ladder System 3.0 thread.

During a run, the current top 3 divisions on the ladder also get userbars/groups that show their current standing. While they hold this standing, [U]they are awarded with perks such as 150x250 avatars.The bottom 3 divisions are punished by decreasing to 120x120 avatars and minimal sig space (aka turned into leechers).


We get vert avvys and a usergroup for current place on ladder, right? Well none have been received as far as I'm aware.

yea.. waiting on the admins to get the usergrps in. on the other hand, the bottom 3 punishment is not being put into effect period.

Greggle, The Academy is likely being phased out--no graduation will be necessary.

Note: This still may be subject to change, we haven't really got all the kinks worked out yet.

I have a question about the ladder standings.

For example some of the teams in top 3 were wiped out, and along that went with special incentives and privileges.

How do they earn it back?

Sexual favours. :)

Seriously, though, I don't know. Rest assured, though, you'll have your answers when I do. :)

Let me ask one thing Jesse (excuse me if it has already been mentioned and answered before). Now that some teams have been completely dissolved and are starting from scratch, will their divisional projects remain the same?

I mean, for eg, 9th's lil project was a webcomic, will new members of the 9th continue with that project or is it just up to them to do whatever they want?
>_>;

EDIT: Old div threads have been archived, right?

Neko Sarteck
08-28-2008, 03:35 PM
Well, not really, no. For any of the teams that have been completely restarted, it'd be wrong for the new division to just take over. The new Captains, I'm sure, feel that they have to make their own Projects, or their projects won't be their own, heh.

Old threads are in the process of being archived. We'll probably keep them in C46, though, and not available for casual browsing.
