New vote rewards thread! [So vote rewards break the eula]

This thread had some good suggestions, so now it is a thread about suggestions! (Instead of me being a sourpuss)

Vote goals wanted!
We need rewards that work with our brand new system (read more here!)
Each reward needs to benefit the whole server (or all those online at a period of time)

There is no required format for a suggestion, but we need these points:

Description: A quick (or detailed) summary of your idea
Vote count: A suggestion amount of votes for this goal to activate
Cool-down: (Optional) A period of time that this goal would not be able to activate again


Current list:

• Mining reset: 1,000 votes; once per month
• ...

I guess we'll finish up this month with rewards, then kill them off.

 

Well I just noticed this happening to other servers, and I was apparently a month late to the game. We didn't actually get a message from Mojang, the picture is from another person :x

 

I could, but:

The unofficial stance from CyberVic is "No! NO! Fuck that, we're not complying, that's fucking stupid"

Really though, making unique donation perks that work with the server is difficult and takes time, and making new "donator" perks for voting is just way too much work. Because apparently "the time spent voting" is analogous to "giving money".

 

Problems: That is a pain to automate, it is not clear to players, and time zones.
Events haven't been run for quite a while. I've been away from home for about a week and a half (still away), and this weekend is the only time I have before college starts back up.

We don't do things under the assumption that the server will stay small. Damn near everything we've been doing has had the goal of growing the server. In addition, that would actually be more work than Mega's suggestion because of the way our plugin works.


The best thing I can think of (right now) is 1000 votes causes a mining reset

• Each vote would run a command that adds 1 to the vote count
• When significant progress is made (increments of 5% - 10%?), it announces a progress message
• When 1000 is reached, resource worlds reset and the counter resets
• [edit] Limited to once per time period (2-4 weeks). Additional votes should do something else

Still work, but less of a pain and it [mining reset] already needs to be automated in some fashion.
Thoughts?

 

I've got the mechanics for tallying votes, cool-downs, and running commands on goal completion working.

All that's left is making resource worlds fully reset via a command.

 

You are exactly right, I just haven't added anything else yet.
We already have a mechanic for applying potion effects, changing weather, and changing daylight for the server for a period of time. The vip shop does all of these through /donate.

How about health boost for 4 hours at 100 votes? Maybe increase the level each 100 votes after that?
