Voh Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Gives a reason for factions to progress and continue their roleplay instead of closing and making a new faction with a different idea two weeks later. Fully behind this, just hope it isn't abused. 2 Link to comment
i dont wanna od in LA Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 no. there's no room for some artificial systems that determine the power of a faction. it should be organic and not limited by some ooc barriers 3 Link to comment

It should be case by case not based on time. I don't think there should be an increase at all though, especially for drugs. We don't wanna render suppliers useless, keep the amounts as they are but remove the month system, maybe even lower the amount of drugs. Edited December 15, 2021 by getmoney Link to comment

The quality of the faction and its roleplay should determine moving up exclusively, how long the faction has been around is irrelevant. The month requirements are rough guidelines, they can be subject to change if someone has better ideas for how they should be functioned, in theory, here is my mindset behind it as a player and IFM: Everyone is held to at least 1 same standard. No one can be fast tracked, it doesn't matter who you know, who you roleplay with. Your quality is what is being judged, this is a small guideline that everyone has to meet, no more boost ups because you have a favorable roster. Equality across the board. Time is not the only determent factor but we need at least 1 thing that is UNIFORM across all reviews. 1 minute ago, Drew McCallum said: Why on earth is a Bottle a supplier weapon? Who carries around a broken bottle in their right pocket? If you don't want it, you don't have to ask for it. However, it can create dynamic roleplay in some scenarios when someone actually wants the bottle to start bar brawls. We've looked into adding this just as a general item but development is heavily overworked right now so we need to be patient and form other ways for people to create roleplay and break down those barriers. 2 minutes ago, Murat said: I think this is a good start and it’s said that the amounts are subject to increase, which is cool. I’d like to see an increase slightly but this is great. I lowered them slightly before posting this, however, the original idea had 2+ more guns on each. The reason this was lowered is because we do not want to make factions too reliant on this boost up, however as you said, it's still all subject to change. 3 minutes ago, kaneki1king said: Does that mean the turf system will be back again? Since I've just read "territory claim" It just means if you have that area, groups cannot just spawn themselves on top of you and IFM will help moderate this. There will be no strict territory map but rather more respect for roleplayers who have established themselves within an area. 2 Link to comment

I understand what youre saying here, but all that will still be taken into account when they come up for discussion to be elevated to that tier. Ultimately, it's a system thats built around promoting longjevity and longer-lasting roleplaying opportunities, promoting those that provide continued growth rather than just factions that pop in and are instantly expectant. The quality of a faction and its roleplay is something that will be continually assessed over this period. Determining the quality of a faction takes time, surely? It's not going to be an instant process. Link to comment
Tifa Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think continuity of a faction shouldn't be a reason to climb up the tiers, it must depend on the quality of members, roleplay, administrative record, development and a lot of other stuff but this is a cool idea from IFM Link to comment

The monthly requirement is there to support longevity in factions - currently you have factions that last only two to three months and hit the archive bin. Adding this monthly requirement will put a stop to that and support people to continue on with their concepts. With that being said, the quality of a factions roleplay is also a decision maker in whether a faction can move up in tiers. Edited December 15, 2021 by TyJ Link to comment

This was actually a discussion held in the IFM discord, and whilst it would optimally be purely based on standard, the sad reality of it is that a system as such would most likely fall victim to nepotism and general bias, where some factions are seen as less favorable for whatever reason, not neccisarrily a valid one, would be constantly halted or rejected.

4deep.lurkin Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 the time a faction's been up is not used as an indicator of quality, that's obvious. it's used as a rough guideline to gauge whether or not a faction can remain open for an extended period of time. if a faction gets official/gets some bonuses and closes a week later, effort and time is wasted. it's not that deep, people. quality takes precedence.

Tony White Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Longevity is definitely something everyone should take into consideration before looking at a faction, but to base what a faction should and shouldn't get on longevity is a mistake. 1 Link to comment
