Warp Highlight!

[SallyPirate]

How often can a town be a warp point? For example sake, could Thiil be a warp point again in the future, if we do well in the rankings? Or is it more like, once you become a warp point, you're taken out of the running for a while?

I didn't list in above, but I have every intention of allowing a town to win multiple times in a row, because if a town keeps trying that hard then I see no reason not to reward that~

I'll add that to the main post

Grrr, I'm so annoyed Thiil got the warp point. They're super close to spawn - you can just walk ;_;

Plus grafjell's summoning event wasn't intended

 

[SallyPirate]

Hey if you wanna nit-pick, I shouldn't have counted Grafjell's broken screenshots.

 

[Tomato150]

Oh- and I'll list all the towns (That hosted events-) and how many points they got, so hopefully they'll be more competition to fix things up and host more player events

Just curious, why was Golden Bay not put into the draw?

What event(s?) did Golden Bay host?

Feast to Sallana

And then The Mass of Masques, but that was this month . . . So that doesn't count I thinks

Please read the requirements for the warp..

1. The warp is changed monthly, the first of every month, the mass was done this month so it can't count for last months.
2. The feast was intended for a summoning ( I remember very well being nagged to go nag Mich about it ) so I didn't count it despite there being no God showing.
3. The Mass of Masquerades was made a Private event, which doesn't count, as stated in the first post..

Ahh, I didn't realize the feast was a summoning, don't mind me then~

Screenshots are still broken, no points. (If screenshots are copy pasted from a convo, they don't work for anyone not in the convo)

Town thread
Organization +1

Events +1
The Learning Hall (I'm adding this one because I saw how much work went into it, regardless that it's not listed as events I think it still counts as one considering it works the same as an event, it's just in a diff section)
Wedding of Athryl and Aracena

Total: 4


{Moderate} WinterGuard

Town thread
Organization +1 (The first post seems heavily cluttered, I'd recommend removing the underline and distributing the spaces in a more reader-friendly manner. Have 2 spaces under paragraphs and only 1 between the text and title, it makes a huge difference.)

Town Thread
Organization +1 (Though honestly, I think that first post/image isn't very appealing, I think it would be better spaced out and properly written. Those symbols/emblem would be a lot more appealing as separate images)

Thill
The Grey Isle
WinterGuard
Etheras

I guessed the second I saw the 52489 that The Grey Isle won, since that's usually the highest score I get with that roll xD



Warp Highlight has been set in Grafjell/The Grey Isle!

 

[SallyPirate]

I'm so great at this job yes I am.

I had set this tab aside to put on my Newsletter for this week because I misread the events set time, then accidentally loaded up the unread msg's and noticed that the event was already complete. THEN of course realized this means that Thiil hosted 2 events and have actually won the warp by points alone (and therefore the previous rolling shouldn't count.).

So now I'm a bit conflicted- if it's alright, I'd like to let Grafjell keep the warp point for about 2 days, then I'll set it back to Thiil

Edit: This also means that if Grafjell fixes it's screenshots and both towns host 2 events every month, it'll be an epic battle for the warp point.

I WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN-

The Battle of the Towns.

Hue.

I'd like to suggest a modifier that subtracts points if a town is a previous winner. It doesn't have to work like this, but this is my suggestion:

-2 if immediate previous host.
-1 all other hosts.

Given how low modified scores are, I suggest no accumulation.

 

[Baron]

Why should prior winners be punished? The goal isn't to have some "No child left behind everyone gets to win" thing, it's so that the best town as decided by our criteria gets to be the highlight. If others want to be the highlight they can make a push and try to be better still.

The point being that it should give players much more of a variety of places to visit and RP in. Though I do understand that whoever puts the most effort into getting the position should get it.

The applicability of my suggestion is dependent upon the intended goals of the highlight program. I could be wrong, but I'm interpreting Baron's view of the goal to be to provide an incentive for towns to get better. If that's the case, then I see no reason to apply a negative modifier for previous winners.

However, if the goal at least includes a component of spreading RP to different locations or encouraging people to explore, a negative modifier will result in increasing the number of cities that could potentially win and thereby providing for variety, i.e. spreading RP to different locations. It was my assumption that the goal of the program at least included the latter component. I apologize for jumping to that conclusion, for it is entirely possible that the "best-city" idea is the only component and would make my suggestion moot.
