Team event suggestion
 
You know what would be cool...if Mene is going to continue these team games for the different events, it would be awesome if you would make items specific to the team a person joins.

Each team member would get that item for their avvie. Something like, well take the current event...Black Skull team could have a black skull sash that only members of that team would get. Pink Roses would get a pink rose hairpin, Red Roses would get a red rose waist sash, and Purple Iris would get a purple iris mask (these items are just examples of course).

I realize it's too late for them to implement something like that for the Valentine event coming up, but it would be neat if they could do something like that for future events.

As for knowing what item a person is going to receive, that would remain secret until after the event has started, and a person would need to join a team before then. This would prevent a rash number of people joining a specific team because they all particularly liked the item that team was offering.

People can still join in the fun after the event has started, and they could even join a specific team after the event has started, but if they were not a member of the team before the event started, they would not receive the item specific to that team. There could, perhaps, be another event item that is given out to those who don't join a team or join in the game late. It just won't be team specific.

The problem with something like that at this stage in the site's development is that we just don't have enough active users to make something like that a viable option.

I very much want seperate team items, but common sense has to take the upper hand. Whilst it would be very cool, it would also mean those four items being extremely rare as each team only gets a few hundred people join it. They'd inflate hideously in the exchange and become pretty much unattainable over a very short space of time. I'm talking V Day '07 type prices as the amounts available would be pretty similar.

This is something that we want to avoid if at all possible because it isn't fair on current or future users. So until we have a larger active userbase, any team activities will have to go without team specific prizes for now.

That does make sense, though maybe it's something to think about for the future when the member base has grown.

That is one of the reasons I suggested that they must choose their team before the items are ever revealed, to try and prevent teams from becoming unbalanced and items from one team being so rare that they become impossible to get where items from another team would be so common they would be practically worthless.

From what I've been reading from other people's posts as they try to join the Vday teams, though, it seems you already have some kind of built in system to prevent teams from becoming unbalanced anyways, which is a good thing. :)

Well also, something along what they did for the winter event could be done. I noticed that there were the four dresses sold in the different teams colors. It's not the same as a rare meant for the team, but having it as an easily available common, geared for the teams but can be used by all.

I thought, and still think, that was a smart fair idea, those dresses.

What about a Event Team common item? Kind of like how gaia did with its team water fight event. Maybe a set of clothes designed to each team next time teams are used. They wouldnt be rare but something 'special' for the occassion.

I think an event common (not worth a crazy amount or people might just sell them back and then GOLD INFLUX xD) would be a great compromise, because that way they have something to work for, a goal for the team. But let it be a surprise so people don't buy the common and then win it if their team wins. xD
Thinking back to the last team event, I feel bad for all the people that donated their yarn and still lost.
If we would do anything like that again, I was thinking it would be better if we counted the donations only and didn't count the yarn taken against the total.
So that way, the team that donated the most would win period, and then the people taking would not hurt their team if they chose not to donate. I realize that, that was part of the storyline but I would hate to see people on the same team be able to thwart the efforts of the others and then the team is against itself. o.O
