A Few Random Ideas of Mine - TraphouseCorndog - Jul 19th, 2018 1. Is your idea logical?: I guess we'll see 2. Could it be done easily?: I mean... Maybe? 3. Has something like it been done before?: No 4. Has this idea been suggested before?: No Going to bullet these to keep them short and sweet: 1.) Make a room that all players are randomly teleported into once a day for a sort of "role call" (put it on a random timer or something). If the players are good during role call, they are rewarded with something random (A crate, cash, etc). If they misbehave (contra, pvp, etc), then they are all collectively punished via jail time or something. Only problem I can see with this idea is some random asshat would join every day for role call just to jail the whole server. 2.) Add a crate to the ./buy and ./pointshop menus that contains items that people might actually gamble with crates for (not shards!). Make it slightly more expensive money/points wise, and narrow down the pool of drops a bit. Maybe a more PvP oriented crate, or even a drug crate. Weapons, armor, drugs, and other things that would make it worth it. Calling it a "care package" may even be a smart idea, because if it's mostly contra, it's mostly stuff that's going to help you out in a prison. 3.) Add a donator item called a "pipe bomb" or something similar. It would require certain items to use (most likely gunpowder, paper, and a flint and steel) and would send an explosive projectile out of it when used. It's kind of like a grenade, but it's a mattmabs-ish item that can be used more than once. Call it "Trap's Pipe Bomb". 4.) Add some stuff to the Black Market that's not just a villager that sells drugs. Maybe add other custom NPCs that sell other contra (swords, armor, etc). I feel like the Black Market is extremely plain and needs some life. Adding Black Market Events might even be a good idea- stuff involving PvP, drugs, and maybe a maze 5.) Make some better drops for guards... Painkillers, Steroids, Guard Armor, and Guard Ingots aren't all that great. The drugs go for money, and so do the ores, but Guard Armor is more of an armor stand dust collector, because it's a KOS item anywhere in the prison... Maybe have them drop their player heads and other items like that. One thing that I thought of that I really like is having them drop a "guard key" every once and a while. A guard key could be an item that's used to get into other player's cells and other places that you're not normally allowed to be in. Maybe if a player (or a group of players) collected enough keys, they could organize an escape of some sort (this would probably just consist of them being able to go to other rank regions or roaming the free world for like two minutes before they're teleported back to the ./info room with a message that says "You were tracked down and apprehended by Silas and his guards"). 6.) Add other items to the shops... The block shop and rank shops are nice and all, but I think having a shop where you can buy/sell a larger selection of items may be a good idea- or, maybe it will break the economy and boost lea up to 100mil. 7.) I think we should push the factions aspect of the game a little harder... Once they're free, most people still hang out in the prison a lot, and I don't think ranking up to free+ isn't all that worth it if you're not going to play in the free world. Most players rank up, buy plots/megas, and put all of their stuff there where nobody can get to it. I think that if we're going to be advertised as a "factions" server, we should probably peel back a bit on the plots, and push factions a bit harder. I mean, you can have up to 20 double chests on a single regular plot... That's a lot of stuff that could be raided. Not to mention the fact that you can have 20+ chests in the ./bank 8.) Make the giant city outside of the prison purposeful... It's a bunch of empty wool skyscrapers. Add shops, or events, or something... 9.) Add a rank after Baron called "Official" or "Council". Baron implies that you're loaded with money and land. After that, all you have left to go for is power. Make it the most expensive rank (obviously) and allow a special set of perms that allow them to kind of "govern" the prisoners and those below them. Maybe have them vote on things that aren't really all that important, but still need to be addressed at some point (small rules, shops, events, etc). The only problem I can see with this is corruption- people paying for votes. Also, there are a ton of people who could rank up right away considering they have 10mil+, so maybe add little quests/objectives they'd have to do. 10.) Quests, hunts, bounties, and rewards! Add daily, weekly, and monthly quests people can complete for cash and other prizes. Make them range from turning in certain items, killing guards/players, visiting certain spots in the prison (with clues as to where they are) and other things like that. Add a bounty system that players can cash in on/make hits with against players/guards (guards could be targeted, but could not make hits). Add scavenger hunts, and quests that pit players up against each other, or make them work together. Add some stuff that breaks up the normal cycle of grinding and mindless mining! Side Note: It's 5am and I'm typing this all up as I go. I hope you've enjoyed reading my early morning thoughts, and leave any additional ideas/questions/comments. Peace -TraphouseCorndog pedobear Re: A Few Random Ideas of Mine - cougarboy - Jul 19th, 2018 Ahh, the old list of suggestions, I remember those days when I spammed forums with them :^) Re: A Few Random Ideas of Mine - zs471 - Jul 19th, 2018 1. Sounds interesting, but wouldn't work and is a bad idea for people just trying to play 2. Bad idea, crates are a gamble, you just want better drops. 3. You have to reach the donation threshold to get your own item, it isn't free dickass 4. There used to be stuff down there, but the person who built it doesn't play the server anymore, also it wouldn't be used no matter how much you say it will. 5. Better guard drops already suggested. The rest sounds bad. 6. Items like what? Also already suggested and denied. 7. Already suggested and had a few changes, not much you can do, won't work. 8. Doubt it, wouldn't be used, too much effort for little add to the server, unless it was made into a massive project which won't happen. 9. Sounds like a shitty staff member, players shouldn't be able to buy their way to power/staff. 10. Quests already suggested and still might happen. The rest had either already been suggested and denied or is a bad idea in general.

Sounds familiar -TraphouseCorndog pedobear Re: A Few Random Ideas of Mine - LaughNgamez - Jul 19th, 2018 Let me preface my response to this by saying I don't really have the time/motivation to do a lot of additions on MCP. On top of that the server is pretty saturated with content as far as prisons go. #1 - Randomly teleporting people tends to piss them off. I've used the /tpall command maybe three times in 6 years of running the server. Not a bad idea for more RP elements to the server though. #2 - Crates are designed this way for a reason. Balancing "better" and "worse" crates for cost is a lot of work and feels deceptive to players. Players would always feel driven to go for the better ones. On top of that we design the crates without themes so they're all more or less equal. #3 - Not a bad idea for an ascetic item. If it was needed for PvP diversity there's always splash potions. #4 - Not a bad idea of maybe adding other shops/items to the black market. A role play element of some sort could be cool but black markets are historically neglected on MCP and tend to be removed every other map due to this. #5 - Pretty ambitious idea. Guard drops are pretty generalized due to the fact that sometimes guards are tough to kill and other times they get farmed nonstop. This means we can't go overboard. #6 - We don't like to sell absolutely everything. In fact I may argue the block shops have too much. #7 - We've tried to push factions a bit in the past but it doesn't work well. You're right though with plots & chestkeeper raiding will never be for anything other than pleasure so it won't be a big part of the server. This probably won't change. #8 - Very true, it's hard to do though and takes a lot of time. Ideas to make it meaningful are welcome. New ideas that aren't just repeats would be needed or little things which take motivation that we don't have for Citizen. #9 - Get Baron first then talk to me about it. In seriousness unless we restructure the ranks there won't be another. It's not a bad idea to have top players vote on things and it would be really cool! Probably won't happen though due to time to upkeep (someone would have to be responsible for regular votes etc) and the fact we're not that big of a server so the voting pool wouldn't be large enough. #10 - Not a bad idea and Zeedin even had a demo as a project at some point. Something like this would need to be done right though as we like to do good content. As a result it's not likely to happen. MCP has plenty of content but this wouldn't be a bad one to add if done properly though. Thanks for the suggestions |
