Our forum community has grown up incredibly well. In times past, we would struggle to build out unit suggestions to implement. Now, however our forumers complete so many suggestions that it is only a question of which to implement
Our process has become more democratic as a result. We hold a monthly vote in this forum on a separate topic thread with a poll.Rules:
1. I will create a vote poll with the 10 oldest (were on the list longest) units
2. I will create a second poll with a unit nominated from each VAC
3. VOTE
4. Daniel and I will evaluate the results
5. Implementation!
More about VAC
Some forumers have created Voting Activist Commitees (VAC) to aid in the vote process - a group designed to inform its adherents about which options to vote in order to have a greater number of votes for that option. A VAC is for organizational purposes. Voting with a VAC is encouraged as it will bring greater clarity to the votes (having clear winners instead of all options being nearly equal)
Current VAC:
DCPRN
Nature Defenders
Remember, to check with your VAC (Voting Action Committee) to organize your votes - you have a better chance of implementing ideas with a VAC!
A list of ready and almost ready units can be found here: http://www.ageofstrategy.net/viewtopic. ... bd99#p9599
Tips:
Suggestions that do not require a lot of extra coding will be implemented faster! Suggestions that are not in the voting list will not be in the vote an the only way to get a suggestion on the list is to let me know! Just because a suggestion wins does not mean that it will be implemented!
COOLguide notes:
Oldest units in the main vote ensures that suggestions will be put in the game and not forgotten
VAC vote gives us a chance to see what the most active forumers would like to see in the game
Daniel and I use the votes as a guide - we can still veto the results
VACs are the best way for us to get a feel of what units are most generally desired (VAC organizations have members compromising on how to support) I have found that forumers who are VAC involved tend to be helpful in creating suggestions and other forum duties.
