Feedback Megacorpopolis is kinda broken

[Judah Lesan]

The issue is not the UC’s themselves, or even how they‘re being used. If anything as it has already been pointed out here a couple of times, the community can create an IC advantage to using them.

As for the OG suggestion, the mandate is broken. When several struggling factions can hide behind this mandate without producing activity, that’s a problem.

This mandate does not encourage RP amongst other factions via junctions, it does not encourage the use of populates, and makes writing dominions pointless.

Also this:

Perhaps the simplest way to balance the mandate is with a slight alteration. Right now, PvE threads are capped at 4 (per this announcement) so why not just say that the hexes purchased via this mandate take up a PvE slot? That way you have to make a choice, you can buy 4 hexes, but loose out on the faction activity. Not a problem if you're telling stories in other threads, or you choose to submit PvE threads and cap them with the brought threads.

Any faction that's using this to supplant RP in an effort to stay alive, well we tend to see through that and call them out on it. Buying hexes won't help you come activity check time.

I do agree, it's not that people are lazy, but just using the tools available, but if a tool isn't working as we intended or wanted, we can change it.

In regards to UC, I think we definitely need more money sinks to absorb the glut of UC on the board. Well either that, or we let me tax UCs, it'd be fun to be on the other side of the table for once.

Well we’ll see if any genius ideas fall outta the sky

Then i gotta talk to staff for more genius ideas

Then i gotta forget about it for two weeks while i play fallout

Then i gotta decide nah the community is bad and wrong and only i can fix it

Then i post a new mandate with more problems than the one i was supposed to fix

Then i drop a new hot album

Repeat

Ah yes, UCs. I don't like 'em, I don't use 'em, but I'm sure someone does. The cycle of life continues.

Has anyone checked to see if people are embezzling their UC’s? Asking for a friend.
