Tier 7 - Expanding The Horizon

[Danger Arceneau]

I'd like a nice series of threads provides a complete story and forces the writer(s) to really get to planning. Also gives the spy characters something to do!

Sounds good. Now we just gotta work it for the rest of the tiers.

Give me a sec while using Janus's template.

Tier IV to Tier V

• Sign a contract with two more major factions OR Tier V+ companies.
• Make an additional three mass-produced products.
• Complete five miscellaneous threads.
• Complete a project of sizable proportions.
• Obtain the sponsorship of a major faction.
• Complete corporate espionage operations against competitors.
  Destroy a rival corporation's facilities or locations.
• Steal the blueprints or schematics of a rival corporation's products.
• Assassinate the CEO of a rival corporation.

Tier V to Tier VI

• Sign a contract with two more major factions OR Tier V+ companies.
• Make an additional four mass-produced products.
• Complete six miscellaneous threads.
• Successfully complete a project of immense proportions.
• Obtain the permanent sponsorship of another major faction.
• Complete corporate espionage operations against competitors.
  Destroy a rival corporation's facilities or locations.
• Steal the blueprints or schematics of a rival corporation's products.
• Assassinate the CEO of a rival corporation.

Tier VI to Tier VII

• Sign a contract with two more major factions OR Tier V+ companies.
• Make an additional five mass-produced products.
• Complete seven miscellaneous threads.
• Successfully complete a project of impressive proportions.
• Obtain the permanent sponsorship of another major faction.
• Obtain a contract from a Major Faction to aide in the construction a Flagship.
• Complete corporate espionage operations against competitors.
  ​Reduce a rival corporation's tier.
• Destroy a rival corporation's facilities or locations.
• Steal the blueprints or schematics of a rival corporation's products.
• Assassinate the CEO of a rival corporation.

It is of my opinion that making the reduction of a rival corporation tier for 5 and 6 seems a bit too bloodthirsty for those who want to move up. Also, there aren't many similar types of 'rival' corporation's PC wise to really be able to do that.

I think making that a requirement for tier 7 would be reasonable, instead of all through 5 and 6.

Or is that just me?

We shouldn't so narrowly define what actions of corporate espionage they can take, nor force them to take specific actions. It should be more broad.

Oh were you just setting examples?


LOL

I thought you were suggesting those being the only ones for people to pick


OKAY re post of it

• Complete a project of sizable proportions.
• Obtain the sponsorship of a major faction.
• Complete corporate espionage operations against competitors.

How is this? With any corporate espionage operations able to be done against a PC or NPC company.

For Tier VII, I think it should have to be done to PC companies in the same industry of at least Tier IV.

I don't agree, as that seems a bit too specific. If we lock down objects too tight, they'll never get done.

Yeah, not everyone is in the same industry at all. Plus, that is kinda messed up if the only other person in the same industry is tier 2 compared to a tier 6.

The companies need to be in some form of competition or strife, then. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for them to benefit from their misfortune.

Well, yes but that can come around naturally through storyline.


So, do we want to go through with this? Are we missing anything?

Something else to add?

Does anyone need elaboration? Clarification?

 

[Danger Arceneau]

I was also thinking that if we are going to do this we should wait perhaps another month just to let folk get used to the recent factory changes.

Also, confirming that we are no longer having company check in's right? If so, we should toss that in a factory announcement.


Thoughts?

 

[Caulder Dune]

Let's announce that

• Canon company check-ins will no longer be a thing.
• Canon companies will no longer be permitted to start above Tier II.

And then bring in all those other changes a month from now, aye.

I am so blonde

It was already announced.

But yeah, we can wait a month if this looks good.

Any corporate espionage operations can be done against a PC or NPC company.

[member=Tefka] [member="Spencer Jacobs"]. Thoughts?

 

[Allyson Locke]

I would like to wait a month to allow the community to settle into what's going on. Easing them into the changes for companies would be beneficial, so that we can change small things instead of everything if we find hiccups.

 

[Tefka]

This I can agree with. There has been a oversaturated amount of changes thus far, I agree we should resume the tradition of minor tweaks - unless this new generation of Factory Judges devolves into the same bad habit of trying to be another rule-heavy overly specific organization.

 

[Danger Arceneau]

@Tefka. [member="Spenser Jacobs"] [member="Darth Janus"]

Then the time table can look like this.

One month from now -- reveal the added requirement of corporate espionage for tier five and six.

Two months from now --- reveal the tier 7 requirements.


This way, people get a month to get used to the corporate espianoge requirement, and we then have a month to see how the members conduct themselves for that first month with corporate espianoge.


Thoughts?

 

[Danger Arceneau]

[member="Spencer Jacobs"] and [member="Tefka"]


In light of the upcoming changes and the requirement for flagships at tier seven, I was curious if it would be possible to use a thread where Major Factions allow business to bid on offers to help them produce their flagships would count as a part of the dev thread requirement for flagships?


In this manner, we are promoting a competitive means for various businesses to try and bid their services for these productions: whether it be in supplying ore, transport services, shipyard manufacture, salvage material, rare energy powers, mining services for any restricted materials like stigium or metals that can be utilized for a Major Faction's flagship construction.


Currently, the rules state that it has to be a single thread for creating a flagship --- but in the method i'm proposing, it allows more roleplay interaction between the companies and the Major faction in it self, plus that competitive streak. Only that it wouldn't be strictly in one thread.

Thoughts?

 

[Danger Arceneau]

bumping this up for ^

As well as asking if a firm date of November 15th is good for this to roll out?

Alright! It has been a month since we discussed this.

Any other questions or concerns before we roll it out? If not, should we roll it out today?
