Invadedlands Player Council - A proposal to Management

Invadedlands Player Council - A proposal to Management

take my vote, i’m just hoping that the council is based on people who actually care about the server and not themselves. (again dont take this the weong eay there are just some people out there… yk)
Which makes a lot of sense, and is a completely valid concern! I do think there are a lot more people who want the benefit of the server rather then themselves, which will make sure that suggestions that are actually accepted are majority voted by the community.

I'm sure there will be complications to this system, which can be addressed when it occurs. Just like anything in life, nothing is perfect. Tuning the system and making it more effective will 100% happen, so the future is bright!
 
Could you elaborate a bit more.

Last time we were essentially run by an IL staff member, how would the new one be differen?
Sure! I'll add this to the document as well as it isn't something I initially thought of.

While the council was run by Apex (@ApexWasabi tysm for everything < 3), there was an overwhelming amount of suggestions that even if management saw, there was no way they could read them all and implement them realistically. This is easily solvable! One of the main things that was causing this issue was the fact that too many suggestions were being able to pass on. A lot of these suggestions were completely game changing, huge suggestions that could not easily be implemented and benefit the server. They were accepted because they seemed like a cool addition, as councilors at the time voted more on how nice the suggestion is than how reasonable it is to add to the server. With this in mind, creating a new step where moderators finalize suggestions before sending them to managers increases official invaded involvement, and also makes sure that every suggestion that is sent is something that can actually be achieved.

I hope that answered your question!
 
I don't believe I joined when the original player council was around, but as far as I can tell management just ignored or denied all of the suggestions. It does seem that management is more open to new ideas now, so I think this should be implemented.
 
Hey everyone! Welcome to a project me and some friends have been working on for some time. We hope to get some support around the idea, come check out our proposal to management here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y1W6_acI6RHKOaGQ8nDIVEHtvdlXG9p7-JE-GlRAGvw/edit#
discord - link in document!

Brief introduction: The IPC was a place to submit suggestions and feedback in the past. It was founded by @ApexWasabi around 2 years ago, and shut down due to many suggestions not being considered by management. However, after much consideration and thought I think that an improved, more effective IPC is something the community can benefit off of now. The document above dives into finer details about the idea, and I appreciate all the support! < 3

Links to our discord server and website (in progress) are on page 7 in the document. We ask that people in the community who want to see change on the server in a positive way that involves everyone to read through the document the best they can. You can support this idea by bumping the thread and spreading the word! The more of the community we have backing the idea the better, thanks guys!

if you have any questions be sure to let me know : )

take care

seems good, though I do remember the IPC barely being able to pass suggestions to management in its late stage. maybe with these new adjustments and a far different management setting it will work this time ?

I think that'd work way better, both for the councillors, IL staff and the community. From my experience as councillor, I can definitely see how we let past some game changing suggestions, without consulting staff, which then led to them not being added to the game when they were forwarded to managers. Which ultimately left the communtiy feeling they weren't being heard.
 
I think this is a fantastic idea :^)
I believe this would be the perfect time to do this, and could really help pick up the server
you have my full support, and if you ever need anything feel free to reach out to me on disc <3

Thank you I appreciate it! < 3
 
oh @vunsh one last thing: are there activity requirements for councillors to actually play on the server? seems like some people are saying they're councillors or stuff like that but don't play

No one who has the councillor role on discord or claims to be councillor will remain councillor - its just something we have and we aren't taking suggestions or anything right now. If this becomes official, everyone's role would be removed and applications would open
