Durden Pool/Share Option Started by: Sioux on Sep 13, '17 22:49

Hello! We all love pewing the Durdens and we all love when someone takes the initiative to gather credits and throw them for a mega spawn. I think, so much, that it'd be effective for the community as a whole to have a page where we can pool our credits much like the Jail Share option. Here are some thoughts on how the mechanics would work:

  • Durden Share runs to max amount for spawn (500)
  • If a large number of credits are contributed (25+?), durden mapping is awarded.
  • Either one of two things happen; spawn is launched when pool is maxed or after a period of time, the pool is launched if pool isn't maxed. (Two weeks? A week?)
  • This cuts out the live player middle man. (Trust issues, knowing who has X amount of credits, fear of person lagging the spawn or causing a political mess which never gets the spawn to kick off.)

Would love to hear thoughts on this or adjustments to make it all the more balanced. 

 

Thanks!

An official durden pot would be cool.

I like this idea, although I think there definitely needs to be a good balance so we aren't having Durden spawns every single day. Guns are big enough as it is lol

I like this idea Sioux, though would say that just having it as a live counter and always must reach the Max would be my preference, as opposed to it launching after x days or anything.

This way a crew/district/city can all push funds into it to launch whenever.

It could also become a tool in wars. You could be planning a take down and see its only x amount until the spawn kicks off, and then go ahead and make a spawn so that your enemies guns are already used up for when things kick off.

Thanks for your thoughts Olivia . I really like your idea of cutting out the time frame/force launching and just leave it to the community to launch at max.

It'd also be very interesting to use in war, too. Seeing how many people already have taken advantage of shooting after mass spawns, it'd definitely make it another tool.

+1 On the cutting out the time frame and leaving it to launch whenever it's maxed.

I like the idea. This basically reminds me of the olden days when we had to call people to launch jails. Then boom we could do it ourselves with credits. This to me feels like its on a similar parallel. 

A pool to collect towards a Durd spawn would be spectacular. Every credit would matter. And maybe you could even 'subscribe' to notifications that send the players a reminder "We are at 25%, 50%, 75%, 90% of the pool to launch the next Durden spawn". Similar to how we get a notification when the Credits fall below a certain price range.  

My only concern is with the number we need to arrange this. So for example you said every 500 Durds we could do this. What if the community wants it to be bigger? What if we want it as a max spawn. How do we do that? Just setting it at 500 would basically lower the standard we conform to today. I wouldn't want the standards coming down.

Minus that minor concern. You have a +1 from me.

Taco I think 500 credits is the max as anymore than 150 = 6 durdens per credit ergo 500 = 3000 credits.
Report Post Tip
Sorry, 3000 durdens, not credits.
Report Post Tip

Im sorry for the confusion. I thought he meant 500 Durdens not Credits. I stand corrected. 

Im for a pool for 500 credits. +1 for that. 

Report Post Tip
This is a fantastic idea.

Not opposed to this, but it's already easy enough to gather a collection through an OOC thread in my opinion... Either way, this could be a decent tool to use in situations like Olivia mentioned. 

 

Quick question though, who would get to name them? 

Report Post Tip

Why not avoid the "Who gets to name them" debate and just go with autogenerated generic names?

Report Post Tip

+1 Make it a weekly event if the max amount of creds haven't been reached.

Report Post Tip

This is a great idea. Both with what Sioux had said and Olivia. +1

Report Post Tip

+1 to this! Love the idea. 

Ras mentioned who would get to name them. Not that it's super important, but it would probably make most sense with either auto-generated names (like suggested) or maybe the one who donates the most creds or something? Just a thought. 

Report Post Tip

I like this idea. I'd be much more willing to pitch in if this was the case.

Report Post Tip

I like the idea, and for the naming. Perhaps those who contribute most can suggest names the rest can vote on? Or else just auto-generate.
