Hello, my name is Bob, and if you're not aware already, I am running for King Regent with Kace, who is running for King Helper.
Before I start off this post, I'd like to give a big thanks to all of my supporters, and especially to those who gave their feedback to help make these proposals as best as possible: Kace, Donovan, Vance, Zeternal, and Tahir.
Now without wasting any more time, let's get straight into the proposals.
Economy
We think we could use the bank in order to trade gold, silver, and iron in for coins. For example, 5 iron = 1 coin, 5 silver = 2 coins, 5 gold = 5 coins. We also thought about having a system which pays users for their jobs weekly; detectives and knights could get 250 coins per week, while moderators could get 500 coins per week. As for quests, they will come out often, possibly every few days, with a small reward in coins. Not only that, but we would like to implement a command which allows users to transfer coins to each other. And finally, we could add some new ores, such as diamonds, which would be very rare, and/or some more common ores, like copper.
Moderators
If my party wins the election, we plan on alternating between redemptions and Game of Mods on a three month cycle; for example, redemptions will occur in the spring and fall, while Game of Mods occurs in the summer and winter. We think this will be a good way to make sure we have the best possible staff, and it will help motivate the moderators to stay active and work hard. Not only that, but it will give other users a chance to earn ranks. Both redemptions and Game of Mods will operate as they currently do. These are not the only methods we will be using to make changes to the staff team, however. We will very occasionally promote and demote staff members based on whether or not they can handle the responsibilities of moderator. When deciding on new staff members, we will take into consideration factors such as timezone, activity, responsibility, helpfulness, and many more.
Crimezone
Crimezone will be a part of Snaildom, and we can provide dedicated writers and actors to begin a new, creative storyline. Anyone will be able to participate in crimezone, but the detective rank will be seen as someone who is consistently involved with solving investigations. The inspector will be tasked with managing and leading the Crime Office, with the sergeant as second in charge. The inspector and the sergeant will decide the Crime Office roster, keep track of clues, and schedule meetings with other detectives. Users who solve a case can receive up to 10,000 gold, depending on the difficulty of the case; these users will also have a higher chance of becoming a detective, if not one already. The Crime Office will simply be seen as a more organized unit of crime solvers that will work together in order to solve cases; they can also cooperate with anyone else that would like to participate in crimezone.
Items
We would like to have a variety of clothing and furniture in the game, and preferably with monthly new releases, like Club Penguin has done. We also would like to incorporate new blacksmith items into Snaildom sometime down the road, which can be done by adding more ores, as suggested above. Not only would we like to add more blacksmith items, but we think it would be easier for users if these items were organized into categories, plus giving users the ability to upgrade these items. See Kace’s post for further information, including a concept of this system, linked at the bottom.
Other Ranks
As for knights, we propose adding a prison, much like OldCP, and giving knights commands to arrest and release rule breakers and criminals. If violence ends up being removed from Snaildom, this will help the rank keep its purpose; it could also be useful if there are no moderators online. Wise Ones will keep their role, and if violence is removed, Wise Healers will become Wise Ones. There will always be a Wise One, as well as some witnesses, to input their thoughts and ideas during a trial. Snail Watch will be added, but with a small number of users, perhaps 3-5. We had a concept of a “Helper” rank in mind, which would be like an apprentice to a moderator, however we decided it would be best to merge this with Snail Watch. These users will be undercover and may be promoted to moderator over time, with new Snail Watch members to take their place. And last but not least, there will also be a Lord/Lady of the Bank; this will have to be a very trustworthy user, of course.
Promotion
Our final proposal is promotion. Since Snaildom is not as popular as OldCP, we plan on hosting more events weekly, which could include game nights. We will help to make Snaildom more interactive, with the use of crimezone, new quests, and possibly more NPCs to go along with them. We would also like to have more user-created stories to be made into books and sold in the library. Another way of promoting the game we thought of is to have partnerships with other communities, for example, a Discord server which is completely unrelated to the DSGHQ. This would be a great way to bring in more users, not just for Snaildom, but the DSGHQ in general. However, we would first like to have the administration approve these partnerships before making a move, just to make sure Snaildom and the rest of the DSGHQ will be as safe and secure as possible.
I appreciate those who read through the whole thing. I tried to keep it short, but I apologize if it was too long; my team and I have some big ideas. Also, don’t forget to check out our Discord server if you’re supporting us, so you don’t miss out on rallies, information, and more! You can also suggest some more ideas there, which would be much appreciated.
