Server Tags
 

Well since the guild wars map is coming out soon, maybe we could have our own little groups, making this a more team oriented server. Just kind of a Zone Group type thing, to allow trials to get a little bit more involved to get the feel of the game. The leaders of these would probably be the leaders on some of the scoreboards, or just well-liked.
Election Policy
Best two out of three
It all starts with a vote, each trial is allowed to vote once and is counted for 0.1 votes. Gold members are allowed to vote once for 1 total vote, VIP for 2 and Admins/Staff for 3 ballots. Which ever person wins this gets 1 point added to their score.
Next is a spar to see who is a better fighter, the two contestants enter DM alone, from then on it's an all out firefight, the winner is the one that survives. Winner gets 1 added to their score.
Last is the Trivia, We can't have a leader that isn't very educated zone-wise. They are asked a series of random questions, first to respond correctly wins. Worth 1 point added to their score.
The leader is the person with the most points at the end.

Comment, discuss, complain, etc.

What the hell are you talking about?

Have you ever been to maloria or GK? You have noticed that there kingdom/class type things? Well that's what I was talking about, and each of those kingdom/class things have a leader.

Ah, so people yet again people taking ideas from other servers.

Sharing ideas, and maloria and GK can't patent the entire idea of classes and class leaders...

Yet you fail to understand that Maloria came before GK, that GK is Gold, so it "sort of" makes money, and has a higher priority than Maloria. Other than that, you aren't supposed to use something from another server without permission.

Well regardless I support this idea but maybe sparing to see who is a leader isn't the best way. Thinking of who will win to be the leaders I can only see one of them actually fit to lead. Meening it takes more then being able to *pwn* everyone twentie times in a row to lead a team. Normally the leader isn't even the best person in the guild or team.

Stop trying to give so much access to trial accounts. Make them pay if they want to play. Damn. How hard of a concept is it?

That's why I said have a quiz and a vote, sparring would be just 1/3 of it...
I feel with 80 hp, 250 ammo, no cash to start, and resetting every time a trial logs off is enough of a reason to upgrade, I upgraded just to save on zone... And most of the trials would upgrade anyway, People that have been playing 2-3 months on zone as a trial aren't going to upgrade seeing as they haven't for so long.

How hard a concept is this? Here I'll spell it out for you in terms you might understand.

Guildwars-Trials=No One Ever Plays GuildWars Thus Making It Useless
Guildwars+Trials= Better

Thinking about it theres only really 3 or 4 guilds I see on Zone. 2 I don't know the name. Then Hayashi and of course Lost Souls. Thinking about it on Zone when I'm on I only see about 3 Lost Souls including myself. And Hayashi I rarly see aswell and same with the other 2. So lets have a battle, 3 Lost Souls VS the 3 Hayashi members. Completely STUPID!!!

*Sighs*
The fact that someone who has at least some respect posts in the Zone forums is odd enough, even odder than more than half a person agrees with him.

Anyway, looking at this with a purely economic viewpoint, you can't give free stuff to people that others already pay for without losing customers. Look at XM Radio. I only know this because I have to listen to NPR whenever I'm in the car, but they lost $230 million through promotions, giveaways, etc., and not selling actual subscriptions.

Meh.

Looking at it through the unappeasable American appetite for objects which require no work to obtain and abuse,
I WANT MORE!
...
Anyway, screw trials, it's their fault, not ours. And, by the way, Jesse, I know you're not American ;)

Yes it is there fault. But with their flaws we are effected... Stefan spends time making an amazing Guild Wars map, and it doesn't get used unless there are people on it to play it.
Example: Iricia, it sucks when theres only 3 or 4 people per team... And thats what guild wars will be like. Unless you want me to start adding random noobs to Lost Souls JUST so they can play it...

Who the hell is being ellected for this if so then O_O No one ever mentions me :P I have most kills for crying out loud thats gotta be some sort of reward

You have 11-13k more kills than me but are 40-45k lower in exp., you lame.
This is aside fomr the point, kills and experience aren't relative to skill and leader quality.

Leader quality? It's a game... :whatever:

But that's a fact that's eluded most Zone players...

Why dont we stop using Graal entirely, because GK uses it and their 'higher priority' than us. Biggest bull**** in history. Why dont we shut down Maloria because they have bows that mimic our icecannons, simply because WE have priority? Please.

"Who the hell is being ellected for this if so then O_O No one ever mentions me :P I have most kills for crying out loud thats gotta be some sort of reward" Possibly the most idiotic excuse for leadership i've ever heard. "Alright folks, I have 11 toes and three *****es, I demand presidency!"

And can I ask, what the hell is the point of these 'server tags' with 'elections'? It sounds like parties to me, and does Zone need groupwork of any kind? No. I could lame you all with a chaingun by myself without anybody's help.

"You have 11-13k more kills than me but are 40-45k lower in exp., you lame.
This is aside fomr the point, kills and experience aren't relative to skill and leader quality." You lame, dont tell me you dont, strafing counts as laming. I have probably a 16th of all of your kills, but i've beaten you a even spar two or three times.

"kills and experience aren't relative to skill and leader quality." Jesus, somebody hit you hard with the stupid tree today didnt they? BLAR BLAR BLAR I KEEL YOU I NO SKILL. Kills relate to skill, experience relates to..skill.. leader quality relates to personality, which was about the only thing you said right.

"I feel with 80 hp, 250 ammo, no cash to start, and resetting every time a trial logs off is enough of a reason to upgrade, I upgraded just to save on zone... And most of the trials would upgrade anyway, People that have been playing 2-3 months on zone as a trial aren't going to upgrade seeing as they haven't for so long." I feel when I touch things, is there a difference? Who cares if they dont, if they dont, hell, they dont. Dont make things easier for people who dont pay, Stefan'd end up working for free. Who works for free unless their learning or helping?

Agreed.Agreed.You wish >_< take 5 noobs, equip them with shotguns/jetpacks/rocket launchers and we have you getting pwnt.I lame yes, but not much compared to many other people.Anybody could proximine somebody for exp. and Anybody could mortar lame a base for kills, does this make them good? No. Does this make them an experienced leader? No.I'm just saying that it would be nice to allow trials tags, 1 per trial and active for 1 week only?

*Looks up on internet "Most Words said in a post on the forums by the average Zone player"*
Ahah! Look here! "pwnt, lamed, n00b, trial, skills, ROFL, u suck, !!!!!111one".
I wrote this spam because I've lost all due respect to the majority of the people who post here.

I Agree..Maybe we should use Rank Tags!!!

I agree with Chris, I never went p2p because of Zone, I did it because of UN. 80 hp doesnt bother me, I beat plenty of people with 80hp, its very easy to do that. We need more things on Zone because Zone is going down and all the other servers are getting better. Add more to Zone and we would'nt have these disscusion.

A well placed r51 shot'll kill you all, I tried it on ixi last night.

I love that gun.

It still doesnt matter though, if trials want it, it's another reason why they need to subscribe.

Hmmm... very interesting Typhoon. I agree with you.

As long as the tags only work for Guild Wars, I think it'd be good.

i think trials should be allowed in one guild. and tags only work in guild wars.

It'd be neat to have three factions, each getting their own planet to start. Different factions can raid eachother's home planets and take them over.

Of course, there'd be some benefit toward the players if they conquered a planet.

The only problem with that is that it would take Stefan even more time, which we don't want...

But otherwise, it's a good idea :[

Anyway, trials should be allowed in one guild, and can wear their tag under special conditions... I guess that's ok :\

i think blonkts idea is neat-o

Absolutly agreed... This would also work out amazing for guilds. I remember back in the day when Hayashi*t* ( :) Touya) and Lost Souls were neutral. Then Firebox made a rule that Hayashi members can't be in other guilds. Then guilds became extremly fun because Raven also made that rule about Lost Souls and it was actually more fun to try to recruit people into guilds. Not to mention if trails are only in one guild then they can only wear one tag so that guild gets activity.

i think 1 guild per trial is a fine idea :)

I log on one day and then Dozer pms me, saying that I can't be in Hayashi and Lost Souls...
I never left either until I stopped playing for a while xD

I was also looking through my pms folder, and found conversations I had with other people about this trial rule...
As much as it pains me to even give up some of my opinion, this only hurts people who pay for the game.

that...is also retarded

ive been big on this tag thing WAY before...when i was a trial

cause it only effects payers (as Cor agreed with)

1 trial per guild...hmm.....lets see now....theres about how many trials? and about HOW many guilds that ARE active?

very slim...zone is 1 thing...i think all trials should wear tags everywhere...in any server

if you sit down and think about this situation CALMLY

youll realize....the rule.....trials cant wear tags...is plain out STUPID

-_____-

and 1 per guild would only cause riots anway, i know a lot of *****es

Ever the more reason for them to upgrade. I would like trials to have tags aswell, yet it won't be noted, no matter how many times you scream/type in block capitals.

I agree with zackary whole heartedly. 1 guild per trial and trial tags only work on guild wars. Oh, trials can't raise guild's points, just lower them or be neutral points.

he pointed out i misunderstood him lol, so my bad

still though =/

it really only effects vips

like me!>:O

Mine ran out a week ago :P
