A Suite Proposal

[cherrywood]

see what I did there with the pun

Hello Chelonauts! As part of our game changes, one thing that I'm looking at is a suite realignment: that is, condensing the Foreigners who are spread out across the housing blocks into smaller groupings to help encourage new CR to be built.

There's a couple of options that I'm testing the waters with and they are: keeping everyone in separate suites but filling the housing blocks (so basically the same setup as now, just with more neighbours) or condensing everyone into roommate/flatmate housing, and with OOC versus IC logistics for both options. Either way there will be IC justification (Evandau orders them, etc) for the change, so this post is for discussion and ideas of what players would like to see.

The primary goal for this change up is to open new CR for characters (which translates to more plotting, more character development, and easier ways to make AC!) so while you're welcome to use your characters as examples for or against various options, this is mostly focused on what you as players feel would benefit you the most.

Based on the outcomes of this discussion, there will be a poll put up later for people to actually make their votes on the matter. This is just for people toss out their ideas and the poll choices will be built from these.

Well... I'm not sure how I'd phrase a poll that said "are you interested in doing ANYTHING in the game Y/N?" but I agree, I don't want to do the work for no benefit. I know that mody people I've talked to said that they're struggling in the game because of all the drops and lost CR so that's what I was focusing on.

I definitely get what you're saying about that and I don't think the sentiment behind this post was misplaced. I personally love the idea and would jump into it no problem because it's a new way to build CR that at least pushes people closer together. As the current housing is set up, no one has to even talk to their neighbors or acknowledge them. They can come and go without even seeing them, so I think just pushing people more into each other's paths is a good start as long as people as willing to work with you and try it out, see how it works.

I was just pointing out it seems that as a playerbase, we want CR and we want to things to do to build it, but with minimal change to the way the game has been going. This just won't work considering that the way the game has been going is exactly why this post even needed to happen. I wouldn't want you to get stuck doing the work only for it to be an option majority of us wouldn't use or would want built-in work arounds for. Having too many opt-out options in the end would really be the most detrimental because it creates the atmosphere that no one has to do anything with the new CR options and thus few will do anything. And it makes it hard to enforce when new players come into the game.
