COMMUNITY FEEDBACK PART I
(ff_classchange & ff_land)

Here's how this is going to work:

- There's going to be two phases to this whole community feedback process. During the first phase, I'll have you fill out general polls asking you to rate various aspects of the comm and make suggestions. During the second phase, I will collect all reasonable/feasible ideas that were suggested and put them to a vote.

- This series of posts are part of the first phase. The polls here are to help give me a general idea of how the comm is going, but mostly they're here to to jog your memory on various aspects of the comm that might need improvement. You're encouraged to make suggestions in the comments as you think of them and to respond to other people's suggestions.

- Comments are unscreened. However, anonymous commenting is allowed in case you're uncomfortable voicing your opinions with your name attached.

- Not all suggestions will go on to be voted on in the second phase. Some suggestions will be rejected without vote and some suggestions will be accepted without vote, at mod discretion.

- The mods have already put some thought into community improvement. Here's a list of things we've come up with so far:

Suggestions that will be voted on in Phase 2:

[GENERAL] Add Vagrant Story to the list of accepted FF games
[GENERAL] Add original Kingdom Hearts characters (e.g. Sora, Terra, Organization XIII, etc.) to the list of accepted FF games
[GENERAL] Use (different) alliances again in Game 2, or switch to individual teams

Suggestions that will be implemented without vote:

[GENERAL] Track & reward member participation with a fanworks incentive system
[FANWORKS] Allow people to set up "shops" as part of the above
[FANWORKS] Rework the moogle_workshop fanart scale
[SORTING] Remove the leader/supporter dichotomy from the app as it's made redundant by question 4

If you have concerns that would be fixed by any of the above, you do not have to mention them here.

- All suggestions (here and in the comments) are open to debate, so if you want to make an argument for or against an idea, you are encouraged to do so.

Onto the polls!

[Poll #1737741]

Polls/suggestion box will be open until Saturday May 21
If you need to change your vote, click on the "Poll #______" link at the top of the poll, then [ Fill out Poll ], then change your answers and resubmit.

Awww, thank you!

I'm rereading the RP. I was incredibly scared of falling into the emo-angst trap, so I'm glad it seems like I didn't. XD And Lightning was epic too! She got hit with angst too, after all :(

I don't feel like you did at all. Celes' reactions were totally proportional/appropriate to the scope of the RP.

Yeah, but Light is a total extrovert - she emulsifies any emotion she doesn't know how to deal with into rage and frenetic activity.

This is the point where I confess I've never played FFXIII, isn't it?

Despite all that, though, I mean - character consistency was there throughout, so when she got hit with disaster I was like, hey, this character really does seem the sort to act like that!

*laugh* Thank you - I'll gladly take that as a compliment. Mm...I'm not so sure I can pull off villainy, though. /is slightly nervous

Who do you think you might want to be?

If I might interject, I think the best mix would be that of villains and heroes, so you might not have to play a villain if you're uncomfortable with it. And as for characters, I know that Liv specifically requested Cissnei.

*nod* I think that's a fantastic idea. But how would we justify that in the RP? What motivation would villains have to cooperate with heroes?

...who says they would? That could be a massive source of tension and drama right there.

I would love to see that. I think the first round got a bit static because people weren't really willing to accuse each other... after all, no matter who it is or how shady a reputation they've managed to achieve, most of the heroes don't exactly have the shiniest history ever.

But throw in some villains into the mix and I think we'd see a lot more tension, yes.

Like, can you imagine a good Emperor Mateus in that RP? He would be an absolute horror.

I think most of the villains, well-played, would be an absolute horror...

Or absolutely ridiculous. Like Ultros. (I wouldn't mind playing Ultros. The villains would be disgusted and the heroes would have far too much fun guilting Uncle Ulty.)

I'm not sure about villainy as well...

I was eyeing Seymour, actually. I really like his character concept and the entire 'twisted compassion' thing. I've played a couple of compassionate characters for other RPs and I've frequently wondered what would happen if the compassion got skewed somehow... I'd love to try RPing it!

You?

Mmm...turnabout is fair play, after all. I think I'd go for complex, dark, and cynical. I'll have to put some more thought into it.

Or I'd pick Red XIII, if we had Z's suggested combination of heroes and villains.

Both sound great!

...for a different hero, maybe I'd try Vivi. Poor lost Vivi.

I think you'd do great with either. :-)

*squint* Sephiroth, then? You might get a few challengers for that one. Or maybe Golbez, if you're familiar with IV.

Go with Yu Yevon *brick'd*

Eh, not so much into Sephiroth. His conflicts have already been resolved, and were long before FFVII. His response to someone (even his own teammate) getting knocked off: "Eh, whatevs. More Lifestream fodder." Pre-Crisis Core? Yeah, I would most definitely be interested there. Maybe we can split Sephy into three: knight in shining armor!Sephy (who isn't actually a villain, lol), identity crisis!Sephy, and wanna-be god!Sephy.

I'm not presently, but will be going back through the rest of the series shortly. We shall see. /is thoughtful

LOL
