Ideas for KVK and PVP Domination

If Klan-Vs-Klan Domination were implemented, I’d want it to mesh perfectly with another idea that I had, Klan-specific forumbuildr competitions and forums.

Maybe scoops could be earned for the Klan board by completing objectives (random or nonrandom, weekly or just general) against other Klan’s forums, or defending your own forums.

Suggestions Compilation

Most suggestions are placed in the forum they’re relevant to.

There’s a lot of suggestions in the forumbuildr forum, and little discussion actually related to forumbuildr aside from that.

In domination there’s a couple suggestions on domination, too.

I agree that having a suggestions forum would be nice, but it would get cluttered unless it were subdivided by aspects of the game.

No deliveries or visits here, either.

Forum Sorting?

There should be a way to Sort forums, and there needs to be sub-Tabs in the bookmarks under the Forums tab to show:

1) All Forums

2) Forums With Active Missions

3) Favorite Forums (would be nice to mark certain forums as favorites for grinding)

4) Episode 1 Forums (and tabs for each new episode)

5) forumbuildr Forums

6) Recently Visited Forums

7) Currently Pwned Forums

I understand there’s a tab for Recently Visited Forums, but does anyone else find it odd that there’s an “All Forums | Visit History” subtab under Forums, Mission Related, Stores, and Services?

I also think Mission Related should be renamed to something else, since Trapped in the Cupboard is no longer related to any of my missions. If a secondary “Forums with Active Missions” tab were added under the Forums primary tab, it could get confusing if this primary Mission Related tab were still there.

Ideas for KVK and PVP Domination

I’ve compiled a list of the posts that I could find that people have made on this topic. I’ve listed them in chronological order. Please let me know via Tubmail if you find a post on another thread that should be quoted here. (Please don’t post about it in the thread, it would just add clutter.)

I’m personally very excited about the proposed idea of multi-klan domination brackets. It’s especially cool now since it would eliminate the “broken” effect of Klans that can organize vanilla scoop raids crushing single players trying to make it in Domination. Personally, despite the fact that I run one of these said klans, it’s disheartening to see people complain that they don’t have a chance anymore.

...it would be a shame to see our organization go to waste if the klanwide vanilla system is nixed entirely. Likewise, playing on an individual level is going to suck when you have two or three klans warring over Max Scoops and Fave Flava.

Ideally, I’d rather see Klan level Domination Warz that were separate from the Individual level Domination Rounds.

Domination needs to be split up as Klan-Vs-Klan and player-vs-player. You shouldn’t be able to get scoops for something someone else did in PVP.

I support splitting Domination into Klan and Single-Player sections.

I agree with that part, too!

I’ll repeat a popular suggestion here:

Separate Domination brackets for Klans and individual players. Either not count the Klan-acquired Vanilla scoops in the individual bracket and keep things otherwise how they are, or alternatively, change it so that there are one or two Klan brackets which contains all of the clans in the game. Klans would have to work together to get an entirely new set of flavored scoops.

– My favorite option would simply be to allow players to choose whether they wanted to play Domination solo or in klan. Click a bumon on your profile and poof it is done. Changing your mind could cost a Brownie point and any change would take place at the start of the next round of Domination. Solo players could still be in a klan, but would not need to play Domination with the klan. (I would personally love this, since I’m really not hugely interested in working out how to manage five way ties.)

I don’t really care how it gets fixed, but I’m against the idea that there’s “klan” and “no klan” Domination brackets, insofar as I’m part of a clan, but it’s not a competitive one, more of just “here are some jerks who post on a particular site.” Of course, that adds another wrinkle of “competitive” and “noncompetitive” clans, but I figure the admin are smart enough to figure something out.

The idea I submitted for separating Domination into Klan & Personal didn’t meant that a Klan had to choose whether they were Competing or Non-Competing, but simply that each flavor of scoop could be acquire either through Personal Efforts or Klan Efforts, and that the Personal Scoops counted for the Domination rounds that we are currently familiar with, and the Klan Scoops (Or Klan Skoops) would count for the Klan-Level Domination. In Klan Domination, entire Klans compete against each other. FoL versus SotQR versus FF versus Facepunch. In this situation, for example, the Vanilla Rush only adds to the Klan Dom round, not the individual player. The Klan Admin is in charge of how to use the Skoops and decides which type of trophy to go after, or when to buy Dom Cards, etc. Individual players could still earn Personal Scoops if they contribute to their Klan, but there would be a cap on that so it wouldn’t unbalance regular Dom Rounds.

Each of the other flavors that currently only generates personal scoops could be modified so that there would be a way to add scoops to the Klan total. For example, if a player gets at least 1 Lemon Scoop for 4 consecutive forum visits, then his Klan gets 3 Lemon Skoops. If he does 8 in a row, his Klan gets another 3 Lemon Skoops, and so on. Or something to that effect. Perhaps if Klan members speedrun forums in a row, say, the last 15 forum visits by a single Klan all earned Lemon Scoops, then the Klan earns a certain number of Lemon Skoops.

The basis of the idea is there, and I think by separating Personal Scoops & Klan Skoops, this would solve a lot of issues. It also allows for more dynamics on both levels. If an individual player is losing badly on their Personal Domination, they can shift focus and try to help the Klan. Perhaps the Admins of winning Klans can grant certain awards to top performers, sort of a loyalty bonus.

I think this opens a better way to structure the Domination part of the game.

Klan abbreviations would be nice. Each klan could select upwards of 5 letters that would appear next to their players’ names in things like:

the feed when you get screwed or when you get a tubmail

birthed you with

Klan forumbuildr

What if each Klan could create their own forum week-to-week? Only people within the Klan could make submissions, and the forums would be posted as part of the Klan’s private domain or publicly-playable Klan grounds.

The Klan would have to be a certain size (ACTIVE user ACCOUNTS, not characters, and not inactive players) each week to be able to create a forum. Smaller Klans might be able to create only 1 forum, but larger Klans would be able to create upwards of 10 forums. Once a Klan hits the max, 1 forum could be deleted every 2 weeks in case the Klan wants to change one out for a new idea.

Flezz rewards for Klans should be slightly lower than the Public Pots (which should actually probably be increased at this point, judging by how difficult it is becoming to submit a winner). The buildr score for each player should increase by the average of all forumbuildr competition buildr scores they received that week.

Perhaps Klans could get scoops for defending all of their own forums, or pwning other Klan’s forums. There should be some advantage to having more forums, but also some other disadvantage – more forums to defend. There should be a bonus large enough for Klans to want have the maximum number of forums they could have. (I.e. a large Klan shouldn’t want to have only 1 because it’s less to defend). Perhaps the Klan could have 1 private forum with increased cred to help members grind for every 4 public ones they have? Increased cred in all Klan forums?

How about cross-clan XSS code to leech cred/flezz/scoops from another clan every few hours? XSS scrubbers to cleanse diseased forums?

This would allow Klans to take out their aggression on each other and compete more directly with one another.

This should probably wait until E.T. has the forumbuildr stuff entirely automated so he doesn’t have to make 10+ forums every week based on user submissions.

Also, if these Klan forums were implemented, I would suggest restricting Klanmates from voting on each other’s entries in the public forumbuildr since this would be the only place unklanned players and players in smaller klans would be able to submit data. Chocolate scoops should also only be generated from this public forum area, not from the Klan forums.

I picked BAN ME! as the icon for this thread, because after reading all of these ideas, Evil Trout will probably want to. Log in to see images!

This would be a LOT of work to set up.
