Dojo: Building & Tech Roles

[Jukettaja]

Building Roles

 

Separate decorating and room building privileges into two different roles. This way you can control who's putting down decorations and who can construct or destroy rooms. In most cases decorating could be done by anyone since you cannot do as much damage compared to having someone destroy a whole room such as one of the Labs.

 

Alternatively, or preferably on top of this change, you could have a separate previlidge for destroying rooms and decorations altogether. This way the clan owner has more control over who's doing the creating and who's doing the deconstruction and a lot of grief can be avoided.

 

In fact, you could simply give the Deconstructor Role the option to tag rooms for deletion which in turn allows the builders ie. the Architect Role to queue said room(s) for deconstruction.

 

Tech Roles

 

The current Tech Role is the least interesting of the lot. All it allows you to do is press a button to start research, after which you let the rest of the clan participate by contributing to the research that is available. I'd like to see Research become more interactive within the clan itself and force members to work together.

 

So my proposal is this:

 

Instead of allowing everyone to contribute resources to a specific research, make it so that no one other than the Tech Role can queue new Dojo Research AND contribute to existing Dojo Research. However, on top of all this have a way for regular members to donate resources to the clan Vault. This could be done though a new room from which the Treasurer could access all the funds and resources the Clan currently has. All members can still donate resources to the clan through the Vault but they cannot affect the research directly.

 

What's the point?

 

All this makes it possible to have several ranks with different perks as opposed to gradually gaining every perk as you are promoted. It offers more diversity and allows a lower ranked member to be content with the role he's been given because he feels he is making a difference and being useful to the clan. It takes pressure off of promoting members who finds themselves bored of being a rank with little to do.

 

Don't like the suggestion?

 

Even if this were implemented you could still give the Tech, Decorator and Architect roles to everyone rather than limiting them to specific Ranks. The point of this proposal is to offer clans the option to customize their roles. I like to diversify my Ranks so that each one feels important and offer different paths of progression rather than one.
