Topic: Revamp Pinwheel

Okay so I've just come back from retirement (again) after a few years out.. I am very dissapointed to see the state of pw now.. Its mostly used as somewhere to idle or be ss for mw players.. This isn't what pinwheel should be about..

I believe pinwheel should be completely overhauled.. Make it act round after round as an almost icpg.. Leaders are chosen, they choose their families one player at a time. Till all families have their chosen families. This will increase activity, as families will be consist of players wanting to play and not just idle..
It should also consist of the following:

Morale is doubled, the maximum is now 220%.. Morale recovery is also doubled, 10% per tick over 5%...
Starting rez is pw current, and all players start with 6 expos.
Maximum of 2 naps and no allies.
25 families, 8 players per family.. 200 players..

It can be played as well as your stand alone galaxy in milkyway...

Thoughts/Ideas welcome...

[Re-suggested as having 108 players, 18 families, 6 per family.]
[Re-suggested as having 8 naps, 1 ally.]

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

Penis idea. big_smile

Really I like it though tongue
except for these 2 points:

"Maximum of 2 naps and no allies."
No allies, boo. and 2 naps max? that won't work :\ wars would drag out to long, making fams that are losing too hard go inactive completely or obstruct growth too much which will make fams less eager to war.

"25 families, 8 players per family.. 250 players.."
250 players? like that's ever gonna happen tongue

En die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat.

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

After heated debate.. It has been decided the player count should be halved and then some..

108 players in total, 18 families, six members per fam!

Also, eight naps, one ally!

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

it shouldnt be allowed to play both PW and MW, that way only pinwheelers play pinwheel and we keep our ancient spirit

about the rest pfffft, I dont really care, tho the player pool would be superb

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

icpg is a ridiculous amount of work for the mods. its not likely that we'll do this every round.
not to mention there wasnt much interest in it last time.

NEE NAW NEE NAW

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

same same smile

That would be sooo freaking awesome big_smile

Im 100% for this


-----


also if its too much work for the mods, why not make it once every 2 rounds? or hire a new mod specifically for setting this up each round?

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

I think it could be streamlined.. give an option on join a galaxy to 'opt to play pw' and you can select wether you'd like to be a player or a leader... This gives the mod; the player and leader list. And he can then sort numbers.... If there is more leaders than needed, make some players.... It's only hard work because each step hasn't been streamlined yet... With the developers now here this could be implemented quite easily....
Hell, if it's going to be too much work for you gays I could do it...

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

Maybe if theirs too many leaders, their could be an annonymous poll for peeps to vote on who they want to be leaders?

Insane/hoity...it comes down to simple numbers... The majority would prefer something done with the current pw...

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

I'm not saying a revamp is a bad idea, but stopping people playing in both galaxies is harsh, there are alot of peeps who enjoy playing in both!

And lol ally, I know you want me =p

Re: Revamp Pinwheel

Haha.. okay so general consensus being that everyone who has viewed and commented so far has agreed to something like this... I will go pitch my idea to a few mods and let you know how things go...
