Re: On tag points

I've been noticing I've been getting tag points for my some of my good ideas.  Not all of them, though.  I can understand that.  It's not as if I put all of my good ideas in here anyway.  If I did, I would be Universal Emperor by now.

I suppose the reason I don't is because I'm not really motivated by these tag points, anyway.  I mean, really.  So what if I were to get Universal Emperor tag on IC.  Should I put it on my resume or something?

There really should be some point of to these tag points besides the tag-title by your name.  So besides a tag-title by your name, what other additional incentives could there be?  List them in this thread:

List of incentives for positive tag points:
1.  A round of VIP (xeno)
2.  Free beer (xeno)
3.  Unlock VIP features as player goes up through the different tag point levels to the point where it is possible to get full, lifetime VIP by getting to a certain tag point level (AnarchyAngel)
4. Tag points towards getting VIP features unlocked as above for certain number of player referrals (inspired by Carrera's idea)

List of Disincentives for negative tag points:
1. FBI is allowed to go to your house and make you Pay for a round of VIP. (Forever)
2. you have to pay to play a round. (Forever)

Yes I like it, and if you get enough Negative Tag Points the FBI is allowed to go to your house and make you Pay for a round of VIP. And if you get too many Negative ones you have to pay to play a round. smile

I'm updating the list as people put forth their ideas.  I'd put more of my ideas, but I probably wouldn't get any tag points for them tongue.  See, if you notice, I got no tag point for this idea.   And the point is, even if I did get a tag point, it wouldn't get me anything.

Re: On tag points

Common, guys.  Give more ideas for incentives for getting tag points, please? 

If your idea is good enough, mods might give you a tag point!

Re: On tag points

I agree, the good ideas given by the players are equally as important as the implementation of those ideas...

How about if tags on an empire also grant a privilege to that empire, like a single VIP feature but not a full VIP status. Scale the system to where you get a full feature VIP for life if you reach a certain tag, but features stack along the way.

When it comes down to it, Imperial Conflict will profit more from a valuable idea than a single VIP purchase.

Give a little bit to gain a lot.

Re: On tag points

This idea is awesome!   It would help the game by contributing more ideas to its development, for the incentive would be there to contribute ideas to developers to develop more VIP features, which would attract more money to pay developers!  Brilliant!

Re: On tag points

You see, there really needs to be some sort of additional incentive to gaining positive tag points and punitive effects of getting negative tag points or else no one will care about getting tag points deducted for abusive behavior like multi-ing, farming, illegal market-aiding and illegal alliances, flaming, trolling, spamming, etc...

Especially, most pressing I think is bullying.  We underestimate the negative effects of this. How many players have left the game because they've come to realise that the negative feelings associated with getting flamed, ridiculed, spammed, trolled, etc., by our resident bullies, is simply not worth it?

If there is a big incentive to tag points like unlocking vip features as you go up through the ranks of tag points and, ultimately, a free lifetime VIP membership, and, conversely, if after getting a certain amount of negative tag points you receive a lifetime ban from the game, the punitive and reward measures in the tag points system would be more effective in preventing bullying, abuse, etc., and help to cultivate a culture of honorable game-play in game and friendliness in the community, both of which would attract and keep more players.

i think the developers atm are volunteer's? maybe if they got paid money to begin with they would be able to make more time to spend on the bringing the game newer features faster??

as it is i think the developers are doing a great job with what little time they have to spend on the game smile

Re: On tag points

But on the same hand lamb, if the game were more successful then it could produce the revenue necessary to pay for development.
