EMC Final Election Debate 2019

In fact, I am in such support of this policy that would probably hurt SMP2 and the players will move to SMP1, 3, 7, 8. That's how passionate I am in helping EMC that I am willing to watch the people of my hometown SMP2 move to other SMPs that are more populated and vibrant. I am willing to make sacrifices for the benefit of the community.

hmmm, I took breaks probably because i played to Much EMC, and well everyone needs to mix things up sometimes
on average i would say my breaks were 4-8 weeks

Well a lot of whats normally in it is what we need, we just need it to be more more consistently released in the first day or two of the month,
but things it would say is, Upcoming events and contests for that Specific Month (preferably with the exact date of it)
as well as results of contests,
Another thing that it would have is recently added Wiki Pages and New Blogs posts

and for 5, i think the reason we need this, or a sort of goal with it is, Players like a goal to work towards, or a sense of accomplishment, if you don't know what your working towards it can be hard to motivate yourself to do something

That should be determined by player choice, let players have the freedom to choose.

I doubt the people on those SMPS will object to new player?! We all want new players.

Second, the derelict system will remain, if necessary the automatic derelict system could be increased. Though I doubt this will be a problem. A lot of wasted reses are those from a new player that gets on and than logs off and never comes back. I do not think honestly much changes need to be made. We have a terrible retention rate atm.

I see your point, im willing to admit i could be wrong this time

as for this Res move thing
Perhaps a Compremise? what comes to mind is an item Like the dirt destroying ticking tock except for a res move,

this way it can be gifted to your friends aswell as a prize for contests or a high voting streak

I believe growth was the purpose of the debate. But anyways, there is no solution. If you want more players the consequence is more players. If you do not want more players than I guess don't vote for new players. I feel like we will be hard pressed to find these people that "oppose" new players. So I disagree with your statement and I will confidently stand by my point.

for voting, Every 500 votes, which would allow players to get them if they put the effort to vote in, but not such a low number that people are getting them everyday

as for contests, Referral contests, not for clicking since that can be abused but for actual players referred
i have seen many people wonder what happened to those contests and this would be great thing to bring back, especially with a new prize

I say send them to SMP2 we will love to have them. If you are going to play a multiplayer online game you're going to have to interact and deal with other people. I do not know what you want me to tell these people. I would also mention talking in community chat is actually a good way to get players to stay and get them engaged with the community. EMC has 63/1000 people this is kinda a necessity at this point. You can still retain the rotating player distribution system by limiting it to the populated smps. If you want to continue to deposit new players onto practically dead smps than don't be surprised when they leave.

If you want to make a redeemable item I do not think it matters. What matters is the price and accessibility to the player. So if you want to do this I'm all for it. If it make more palatable that I support it. I still believe is should cost no more than 25,000r.

If we really want to we could make it cost tokens instead of Rupees if that makes it more balanced.

I do not think we need rewards for community gathering events such as miner-mania, harvest day, etc. Resource gathering events are rewarded by the resources you gather. Events like mob-arena and firefloor should have more rewards because they do not provide any resources. Like a special sword for mob-arena and maybe a rotating piece of armor for Firefloor so like one week a helmet, next a chest plate, and it rotates so it encourages people to return to complete the set. Just an idea of course but I disagree with rewarding miner mania's and resource gathering events.
