If you had wanted commissions, then you would've accepted cash for them.Vintrionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-48732502825870153272012-06-01T21:08:01.775-04:002012-06-01T21:08:01.775-04:00Mmmm... you guys bring up good points.

Yeah, the list and system are nice and well done.. but, the thing is, it's pretty complicated and I imagine it'd take alot of work to maintain it. More work on it = less time for creating new enjoyable goodies for the game, right? So, how about we just keep it simple? Maybe take down notes of ppls names that are activly adding to the community and give them a little more say into what happens to the game? <br /><br />About donations. How about if ppl really want to donate.. Let them donate prizes for event contests? Maybe something similar to ones held on CoC?Crosaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674486790740936068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-87291838133946462132012-06-01T16:43:17.933-04:002012-06-01T16:43:17.933-04:00I'm personally starting to lean this way mysel...I'm personally starting to lean this way myself the more I think of it, but I've stated from the start that I won't be keeping track of any such points myself. I don't really have the time. If people really like it though, I'm fine with the system though I may revise it myself some.Tacokinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716699783038490368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-73985742715580034932012-06-01T16:39:53.763-04:002012-06-01T16:39:53.763-04:00This is a very real concern of mine actually, and ...This is a very real concern of mine actually, and the way I'm planning to deal with it is basically if it's something that will fit I will allow it to be added, if it isn't then I simply won't add it. A lot of these ideas are nice, but those that require my action will fall under my scrutiny (not meaning to sound selfish there :P). I cannot nor will I allow stuff that simply doesn't fit in the game (or my vision for it). <br /><br />I kinda view these as a way of saying, "Hey, I helped out a bunch...could you maybe add this if possible?" <br /><br />Also, I am a bit concerned about the advertisements as well...personally I think I'm going to remove them if people decide they like this. Sure one person may post on X site, but what stops the next 10 people from duplicate posting? This would give us a dubious reputation at best.Tacokinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716699783038490368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-9147737095942821232012-06-01T07:27:05.773-04:002012-06-01T07:27:05.773-04:00I'm just worried that the point system might c...I'm just worried that the point system might create an incentive for the devs to add "purchased" content that doesn't fit with the rest of the game, story and/or qualitywise simply because they don't want to seem ungrateful to somebody who's spent a lot of time helping them with the game.<br /><br />Also a bit wary of the "post about the game" point rewards.

This fund will recieve donations from people willing to donate, and then that money can be spent on different things for the project.Grateful_Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024770560464107499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-75902473407784451972012-06-01T02:43:02.382-04:002012-06-01T02:43:02.382-04:00Just to make my position clear, I'm not a cont...Just to make my position clear, I'm not a contributor and don't intend to be anytime soon (because I'm too busy to even *play* most of the builds, not because I don't appreciate them,) but I think quite the opposite of Nazca.<br /><br />I do agree that people contributing out of pure desire to contribute is a nice and noble thing, but it's not the most realistic idea. Rewarding people for contributing could (and hopefully will) bring forth a great deal of ideas and content the project would have otherwise missed out on.<br /><br />In addition, I'm fond of the idea that people who contribute a lot to the project can ask for things they like to be added in, which others will work to add, earning them points to ask for additional content, and so on. With the right attitude, people requesting and supplying content could become an extremely productive cycle.<br /><br />I like to think that this system can promote a sense of community, rather than cause people to act purely out of selfish desire... but who knows what will actually happen. Again, you should also keep in mind that I don't plan to *use* the system anytime in the near future, however that colors your impression of my opinion.futuredarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880229292297910898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-56948783852782820472012-05-31T23:55:30.727-04:002012-05-31T23:55:30.727-04:00For what it's worth, here's where I stand ...For what it's worth, here's where I stand on the issue:<br /><br />If people want to contribute they're going to contribute. If they don't, they're not. I think putting in some kind of point system gives people the wrong motive for assisting on the project, where the real reward should be knowing that you're helping to further development and see that the entire community can enjoy it. For writers and artists, that means knowing that multiple people are reading/viewing (and fapping) to your work, and for the editors it means knowing that the final product is clean and error free.<br /><br />And for Taco it's making sure the game doesn't crash when you open it. :P<br /><br />When I applied for the editor position I did it because I genuinely wanted to help the project and see it succeed, and because I wanted to have a personal stake in development, not because of some points reward system.<br /><br />TL;DR version: working on the project should be its own reward. <br /><br />My two cents.
