In order to improve the upcoming Christmas event, an application system will be implemented so that the non-staff part of the community may partake in the planning of the event. The purpose of the application is to get outside voices and minds engaged in the designing and building of the following event, rather than reserving the project for staff members only. The chosen player(s) represent(s) ideas of the community.
@CluelessKlutz proposed that players should make suggestions on the forum. I pointed out that this would create a communication barrier between the staff and contributing players. Messaging on the forums is not nearly as fast as something like voice or chat on Discord. When a player is chosen to be a part of the project, they feel like a legitimate part of the team. If this system were not implemented, the event would not amount to its full potential.
The application format might look something like this:
In-game Name:
Past experience with similar projects:
What can you contribute to this project?:
What makes you the best candidate?:
This format will be changed to meet requirements of the staff and community. I am not aware if anyone is in support of this idea. How can this idea be morphed so that the community can take part in the next special event?
