Obelisk Construction Guild

We oppose the build Queue as implemented as its selection method was unfair (2-3 months because you're weren't online when the test was unlocked? Who picks?) and it discriminates against people unable to access the wiki due to filters or inability to master the technology. - 12:15, 21 December 2008 (EST)

PROPOSED VALUES:

  1. Provide an open forum to discuss the coordination of Shabbat Ab Obelisk Building.
  2. Open to all Shabbat Ab residents
  3. No citizen of Egypt is more worthy to build than any other.
  4. Citizens who have been part of the organized guild should receive consideration for having waited (over holdouts and new players).

We plan to implement a weighted lottery system to select builders INSTEAD of the de facto queue that favors some people for no valid reason. We plan, as a guild, to help rebuild obelisks for the selected builder that are defeated. If you share these views (or have changes to suggest), please join.


After some discussion, some of the issues:

  1. How do we select a build order?
    1. Weighted Lottery - Prospective builders are selected by some random system.
    2. Auction - Prospective builders bid for the right to build.
  2. What do we do if someone builds over the the selected builder?
    1. The designated builder is entitled to rebuild.
    2. The guild, in cooperation, is best equipped to help a member rebuild; particularly in competition.
  3. How does the guild assemble materials for guildhouse expansions, obelisk builds, and obelisk rebuilds?
    1. Guildhouse Expansions - New members pay a nominal membership fee
    2. Obelisk Builds - Prospective builder provides
    3. Obelisk Rebuilds - ???

I apologize for the wordiness of the proposal. There is some clumsy language in it but I think I conveyed most of the necessary details. --Aperio 13:03, 2 January 2009 (EST)
