VIP Plugin Suggestions

[StealthGus]

Hello everyone,

So for the past couple weeks, leadership has been discussing an idea of a VIP plugin. This is not to be confused with DS as it is going to be a little different. What we need from you guys is to keep an orderly discussion on some ideas you guys might have to add to the plugin. Ideas can include things such as bounties, allowing players to color themselves, etc.

The way this plugin is going to work is you will basically add the server to your favorites, disconnect from the server and reconnect to the server to get a [VIP] tag. This tag will not override your current [DS] tag should you have one. Don't worry dedicated supporters you'll get the benefits as well

We eventually will go after different tiers of "VIP" but for now we just need some base ideas so we can further discuss the movement of this plugin.

HOWEVER

Ideas can NOT include adding any sort of items to the server itself, such as Hats, custom weapons, etc.

If you do not like this idea, instead of complaining about what you don't like about the idea please suggest other ideas we as a division can pursue to help drive a population to the server.

Suggest away!

Would my name say ds vip?

And I like colour ideas. Bonus gameme points?(idk if thats possible) Like each day get 100 points free for joining

When the player joins it checks if they have DS if they do have DS then it doesn't show the VIP tag only the DS tag

So, basically rewards for favoriting?

 

[Rawburt]

option to change color of name, option to hide chat box ads, auto balance immunity, maybe? just some of my ideas

kind of a strange little idea though :/

All I can think about is auto-balance immunity and reserved spots.

Good idea, but we will never have reserved slots. We've been against them since 2006.

Well thing is.. What could possibly be different between DS and VIP ?
I think VIP could only be do-able on the freak fortress server to come:
Unusual effects like we did with DS menu 2 years ago? (Idk if it could affect the quickplay system I know spidey removed it because of that...)
Sounds you can play on the server ?
Being able to be the DJ on ego radio?
VIP tag on TS3 ?
Being able to count a VIPs kill streak when it goes over 5 ? ( this goes for noblenote)
Having some rudimentary admin commands like !showrules someone?
Having a set of sprays you can pick from in a menu?
...
Just a brainstorm you can be inspired from !

Thank you for the ideas. Keep them coming. What has everyone see on other servers?

These two things are your best bet. You shouldn't do this at first, but you could probably establish a point system based on time played to obtain unusual effects or a sound board.

Autobalance immunity, teamswap command, highlighted messages and ad removal. But then again, that was in a server with a credit system, which means less permanent rewards.

 

[StealthGus]

Because of Quick Play regulations we will be able to have the unusual effects and custom hats on the Freak Fortress server, however all other servers (excluding the event server) will not be able to have this, but will have some other cool things.

Don't worry, I'm working on getting the FF2 server running within 1-2 weeks and the VIP plugin up and running by the end of the month

auto-balance immunity

This.

 

[JoeyHyung]

I really like this idea. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this.

I know some server have godmode enabled during humiliation round. That and generally an emblem of sorts above their head as well during it. If not for VIP this could be for DS.

Option to initiate map change / scramble votes.
