- [23:30] <04@Bunneh> There appears to be a lack of sponsors contacting new players. We really don’t want to get involved and have to start coding in punishments but we will if this is needed. So we are going to give you all two weeks to turn this around. The numbers need to drastically change for us to not get involved. I want feedback from you about what the problem is so we can try and work together on this
- [23:30] <04@ChrisVaughn> pfft I only found out i was playing when Toby messaged me, weird
- [23:30] <07%Bombastic> Oh. I see how it is!
- [23:31] <04@ChrisVaughn> Its lazyness
- [23:31] <07%Bombastic> Oh shit just got real

- 01[23:32] <04@Borya> So, I'm being forced to pick up people or there'll be punishments?
- [23:33] <04@Arizona> I think just contacted
- [23:33] <07%Bombastic> Interesting times...
- [23:33] <04@Bunneh> You are not contacting the people who are doing jobs for you
- [23:33] <04@ChrisVaughn> when the change in the tax system happened, peoples earnings from being a sponsor dried up. Squishy says that its up to the Cl to give you that earning, but I know very few who do. So why would someone spend all that time and effort, and recieve the abuse, for nothing in return
- [23:34] <04@Bunneh> its not about always sending an invite, not everyone works well together
- [23:34] <04@Bunneh> its about the lack of contact

- [23:34] <07%Bombastic> Ok, to keep this diplomatic
- [23:35] <04@ChrisVaughn> however, originally (.org, shhhush) people didn't get paid for being a sponsor but back then, it was your first step to power, running a subcrew
- [23:35] <04@ChrisVaughn> I've tried to reintroduce that into my family, but the majority don't give a flying fuck
- 01[23:35] <04@Borya> If it's the case that every single Crew is doing it (considering all CLs were called here). Perhaps it's a problem with the system and not the people?
- [23:35] <07%Bombastic> You are conducting this to ensure we use your thang?
- [23:36] <04@Simplicity> No, its a money thing
- [23:36] <04@Simplicity> Izzy is trying to bring new people in
- [23:36] <04@Simplicity> Dishing out money
- [23:36] <04@Simplicity> And we are ignoring those people
- [23:36] <07%AmeliaGato> Problem is, is that sometimes you're on just to shoot and someone does the job, and you fuck off, so you never notice.
- [23:36] <07%AmeliaGato> 90% of the time thats what happens with me.
- [23:36] <04@toby> You can turn off the sponsor thing
- [23:37] <07%AmeliaGato> No I know
- [23:37] <07%AmeliaGato> But if say I play today and turn it on, I might not turn it off when I go to bed.
- [23:37] <07%AmeliaGato> And then when I log in to steal all of Toby's money at 6am
- [23:37] <07%AmeliaGato> its still on
- 01[23:37] <04@Borya> Maybe add the codes so the sponsorship turns off if you log out? The same as it toggles off if you don't contact someone?
- [23:37] <07%AmeliaGato> I mean I have been guilty of turning it off and getting the "You still need to contact" and Im like "lol no I dont have time."
- 01[23:38] <04@Borya> So you have to physically turn it back on every time.
- [23:38] <07%AmeliaGato> That would be good.
- [23:38] <05Stefania> Yes, I like that idea
- [23:38] <07%AmeliaGato> or make the ON and OFF
- [23:38] <07%AmeliaGato> Green and Red or something
- [23:38] <07%AmeliaGato> So you NOTICE it
- 01[23:38] <04@Borya> Yeah, a clearer button would be better too, IMO. It's barely visible as it is.
- [23:39] <07%AmeliaGato> because with the SDI thing, I ignore the sponsor thing 99% of the time unless its orange. Which means I went a week with it off wondering why I couln't get someone to do the jobs for us.
- 01[23:39] <04@Borya> When I was a newb, I was made a Sponsor and it took me a few days to even realise I had the option to toggle it on and off.
- [23:39] <07%AmeliaGato> Aren't you still a newb Borya? :P

- [23:40] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> -
- [23:41] <04@Arizona> I personally don't have he room to bring in new people anymore.
- [23:41] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya, thats the etnire purpose of the toggle though
- [23:41] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so you can pick and choose when you want to be a sponsor
- [23:41] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and you arent leaving a member and the advertising budget high and dry
- [23:41] <05Stefania> yeah but if it turns off automatically when you log off
- [23:41] <05Stefania> it prevents those times when we forget to turn it off
- 01[23:41] <04@Borya> I know. I didn't say otherwise?
- [23:41] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ah it felt that the "Quit your job and realise you need to be here 24/7." was feeling a little passive aggressive :)
- [23:42] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> if that wasnt its intention, then my bad

- 01[23:42] <04@Borya> Nah, I was poking at Crystalize for working. Not related to this. My bad :P
- 01[23:42] <04@Borya> Anyway. I'll tell my Sponsors to be more on the ball. But having it toggle off rather than remaining on as a safeguard might help a little for some who just walk away from the PC (I'm defo guilty of this)
- [23:42] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> because every crew is different, we dont do a tutorial on how to be a sponsor, we leave that up to the CL
- [23:43] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> is that a responisibility you would like us to take off your plates?
- [23:43] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> (im not being sarcastic)
- [23:43] <07%AmeliaGato> I can't weigh in on this, as I'm the only sponsor for the crew.
- [23:43] <07%AmeliaGato> BUT
- [23:43] <07%AmeliaGato> Maybe having bowie throw a how to on the wiki
- [23:43] <07%AmeliaGato> that we can direct to
- [23:43] <07%AmeliaGato> wouldnt hurt
- [23:43] <07%Bombastic> Stfu Borya. Borya's me to tears often :(
- [23:43] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the thing is, most cls would do it differently
- [23:44] <07%AmeliaGato> Not so much a "THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT" (hands are in the aaaaair)
- [23:44] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so it may be a disservice to the new sponsor if the cl doenst take the time to explain it how they want it done
- [23:44] <07%AmeliaGato> but more of a "This is what this button means, toggle it off, THis is where the jobs are. This is why it flashes orange. Heres some examples of mails you can send"? Idk.
- [23:44] <04@Crystalize> tell my customer's that Borya D: they love me!
- [23:44] <04@Simplicity> I feel it is a site wide problem, not just a CL problem. You can say we give incentives, money, prizes, but honestly half the crew doesn't even do competitions to get that for free. So it is up to us to solve this, but people are too stuck in their ways and lazy to care, how do we change that?
- [23:45] <04@Crystalize> Just to catch myself up, the topic is the issue with the sponsors correct???
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> Yeah
- [23:45] <04@Arizona> Well it's either people like doing it or they don't
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> and how newbies arent being contacted.
- 01[23:45] <04@Borya> Perhaps tax the individual sponsor if they don't respond? Like a game mechanic to do so?
- [23:45] <04@Crystalize> Thank you Amelia
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> No worries.
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> Please dont

- [23:45] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> we already charge the CL to incentivize them to streamline the process and make it efficient
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> And people will just get pixxed
- [23:45] <07%AmeliaGato> and or pissed.
- [23:46] <05Stefania> and then they won't even wanna be sponsors
- [23:46] <07%AmeliaGato> yup
- [23:46] <05Stefania> The more you "punish" the more people will just not want to sponsor or keep their sponsor turned off
- [23:46] <04@Crystalize> I know I've had an issue personally where I forgot to turn my sponsor off when I was just a CL and I'd be online at work and it would yell at me for missing people X.x
- [23:46] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the next logical step was that like if sponsor gets like two no-contacts within 10 contacts or something, it disables the crews invite ability for a week
- 01[23:46] <04@Borya> It's only gonna be left to us as CLs to do anyway. But besides revoking Sponsorship (which'd mean 0 sponsors, which'd mean 0 newbs joining anyway), we can't do much else.
- [23:46] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> with the step after that being something along the lines of we randomly assign to the crews that meet certain criteria
- [23:47] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> just trying to avoid that
- [23:47] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but theres simply no money to keep throwing 20 bucks for a new user
- [23:47] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> to have them be ignored by 3 sponsors in a row
- [23:47] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> :/
- [23:47] <04@Penny> If you do that there may be no crews open to invite
- [23:47] <05Skadi> a cl can advert only i cant be punish because one of my sponsor didnt follow what should had done
- [23:48] <04@Simplicity> Instead of hindering a crew, why don't we reward a crew for it?
- [23:48] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> you do
- [23:48] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> that member may kick up a million
- [23:48] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> or 100 million
- [23:48] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> or take a bullet for you
- [23:48] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> or spend the next 5 years at your side

- [23:48] <04@Simplicity> talking*
- [23:48] <04@Simplicity> That person who sponsors them

- [23:50] <04@Simplicity> Punishing us for not doing it makes people angry, makes people annoyed, makes them hate the system more..
- [23:50] <07%AmeliaGato> Someone should probably mail Zeus and tell him.
- [23:50] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> there are ones that get contacted and end up in crews that last hours, days, or years

- [23:52] <04@Penny> Well doesn't it auto turn off sponsorship of not contacted
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> yes, and they turn ti back on
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> rinse, repeaet
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the cl gives the position to a sponsor to do
- [23:53] <07%AmeliaGato> maybe do a 3 strikes thing
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the cl has all the tools to keep up and follow the effectiveness of the sponsors
- [23:53] <07%AmeliaGato> 3 alerts and sponsorship is automatically removed
- [23:53] <07%AmeliaGato> and the CL gets a notice, and then has to have a talk with them and re-do it
- [23:53] <04@Simplicity> Yes, but the people I see being turned off are also the people who are inviting people
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so when you discussed it with them, what did they say?
- [23:53] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> i dont hear these stories
- [23:54] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so if you can share your talking points that were brought up in the conversations with them
- [23:54] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> that would really help me understand
- 01[23:54] <04@Borya> From all I've ever heard, it's literally because they've gone to feed their cat, or wash their car and haven't considered that their Sponsorship has been left on.
- [23:54] <04@Penny> I'm not going to lie I have done it, went idle and during going idle with the sponsorship on and have missed people. Not on purpose of course.

- [23:55] <04@Simplicity> I haven't discussed it with them. I go off of experiences in the past, as it is only one person I've noticed, and I know she mails them and talks to people when she see's it
- [23:55] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> then it happened again with another guyh
- [23:55] <05Stefania> Logged in from my phone to shoot a Durden

- [23:55] <05Stefania> Right
- [23:55] <07%ralph> What if jobs were district-level and blasted them to any given sponsors on in the last x minutes?
- [23:55] <05Stefania> That would literally solve almost every time mine has gotten turned off
- [23:56] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ralph because not every district will be cooperative
- 01[23:56] <04@Borya> Maybe a popup every 20 minutes "Are you still sponsoring?" ... If you don't click yes, it toggles off?
- [23:56] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> like if you do jobs for bob, i dont know if tom should be contacting you
- [23:56] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya the jobs only are on for you if you are active
- [23:56] <07%ralph> families in a given district should, in theory, be cooperating with each other
- [23:56] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so like, if you turn the job on, only when you are active are the jobs listed

- [23:57] <07%AmeliaGato> Oh 3 minutes isnt bad - I thought it was the 10 minutes it takes to get you off the 60 sec list.
- [23:57] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> let me double check the time
- [23:57] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> its small
- 01[23:57] <04@Borya> Yeah, I thought it was like 7-10 mins to come off the 60s List
- [23:57] <07%ralph> should be 5
- [23:57] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> if they do your first job while you are still active, the time is increased for 2+ jobs after that
- [23:57] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> let me get that number
- [23:58] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so has anyone had conversations identifying why sponors are getting toggled off with their sponsors ?
- [23:58] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> id love to get some feedback that you guys got
- [23:58] <05Stefania> I have never had someone tell me "oh, I just didn't want to talk to them"
- [23:58] <04@Crystalize> I can't say I have at the moment because I shut mine off with being in a GF crew :X
- [23:58] <05Stefania> I had one tell me he wanted some exmpales on what to say, so I sent him some examples
- 01[23:58] <04@Borya> Point is.. If you start hindering the entire crew for one sponsor not using the feature correctly, people will just stop assigning sponsors. That won't fix the problem, cus it just means there won't be sponsors, thus there won't be jobs, and then the newbs won't stick around anyway...
- [23:59] <04@Penny> I know most of the time it is people being like on their phones and going idle after shooting
- [23:59] <05Stefania> other than that, it's they started doing something else and forgot to turn it off
- [23:59] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya but you guys need to decide if its your job to enforce your sponors, or mine
- [23:59] <04@Crystalize> And unfortunately I'm being dragged back to work D: I hope we find a resolution <3 take care all!!!
- [23:59] <04@Simplicity> Punishment
- [23:59] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> thanks Crystalize
- [23:59] <07%ralph> Yeah, starting the conversation off with the threat of punishment isn’t really a productive start
- [23:59] <07%AmeliaGato> What might help
- [23:59] <07%AmeliaGato> is on the members info page in the HQ - put a number of times its been toggled off?
- [23:59] <07%AmeliaGato> Like automatically
- [23:59] <04@Crystalize> No problem and truth me told it SHOULD be the CLs job to enforce sponsors
- [23:59] <04@Simplicity> I don't like the word enforce, I suppose we can offer them rewards for contacting people
- Session Time: Sun Aug 28 00:00:00 2016
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> Because like its all well and good getting the notice about it
- [00:00] <04@Crystalize> We have said person the job of sponsoring, we should make sure they are for for said job and doing it correctly
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> but you dont keep that in your mind
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> so mine probably gets toggled off like 15 times a week if not more
- [00:00] <04@Crystalize> Now I'm going back to work <3 bye!!!
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> gato doesnt notice because he has enough alerts going on.
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> So having a total there
- 01[00:00] <04@Borya> See ya Crystalize.
- 02[00:00] * @Crystalize (Mibbit@MR-FCFCA914.sub-70-208-151.myvzw.com) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [00:00] <04@Penny> You can't punish cause then no one will do it, at least in my opinion
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> would help identify the problem sponsors
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> So then CLs can step in and talk about it
- [00:00] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> AmeliaGato you get a personal
- [00:00] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> it goes into crew chat
- [00:00] <07%AmeliaGato> I know
- 01[00:00] <04@Borya> As it is, Sponsoring is a thankless job. Punishments won't work, at all.
- [00:01] <07%AmeliaGato> but if I get toggled off 2-3 times a day
- [00:01] <07%AmeliaGato> and hes offline
- [00:01] <07%AmeliaGato> 1. he aint gonna notice cuz hes drowing in personals
- [00:01] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya sponsoring is thankless, under a thankless crewleader :/
- [00:01] <07%AmeliaGato> and 2. He aint gonna see crew chat.
- [00:02] <04@ChrisVaughn> I offer rewards for sponsorship.
- [00:02] <04@ChrisVaughn> like the old system
- [00:02] <04@ChrisVaughn> half of what your associate donates, i give to the sponsor
- [00:02] <04@ChrisVaughn> problem is, some don't donate
- [00:02] <04@ChrisVaughn> and some people don't care about the money
- [00:02] <07%AmeliaGato> And thats Gato just having ME to pay attention to. So if you have 5-10 sponsors, you're never gonna remember the actual numbers of when they suck.
- [00:03] <04@ChrisVaughn> they can earn more in game, than they can baby sitting
- [00:03] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ok
- [00:03] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so a counter of successful contacts/no contacts kinda thing
- [00:03] <04@ChrisVaughn> so they let it toggle off
- 03[00:03] * JoeyO (Mibbit@MR-EC17B32D.sc.res.rr.com) has joined #crewleader

- 03[00:03] * JoeyO was kicked by MafiaReturns (Your nickname is not recognized.)
- [00:03] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> since 8 sounds like a lot, but not if they had 200 success contacts
- [00:03] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> where as 8 out of 12 is...
- [00:03] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> heh
- [00:03] <07%ralph> Serious question, but has the sponsor system ever worked like it was intended to when it was introduced?
- [00:03] <07%ralph> when cls were no longer able to invite after x members
- [00:04] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> yeah our numbers went up
- [00:04] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> retention went up quite a bit
- [00:04] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the most effective actually was sprozzas admin crew
- [00:04] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but the CLs werent having any of that :/
- [00:04] <07%AmeliaGato> So IzzyCreamcheese put in a "Sponsor" thing in the HQ with a breakdown of numbers.
- [00:04] <07%AmeliaGato> Total number of people contacted, Number of times they've been auto toggled, Number of people who have joined, average mail sent per user
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ralph when a new user (an actual real life new user, not a returning user) comes to the game, there is a "magic window"
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> that we find that if they get social interaction during that time
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> their retention rates go waaaaaaaay up
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> hence the job board
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> prior to the job board we had two scenarios
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> uncontrolled chaos of 20 mails in 1 minute
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> or... 0 mails in 1 hour
- [00:05] <07%ralph> ok, so you probably have to expand the window of how many users now that a new player has joined
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the job board was a way to pace it properly
- [00:05] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> get them interaction quickly
- [00:06] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but not overwhelmingly
- [00:06] <07%ralph> if your $20 ppc user signs up and you’re relying on the whims of 3am jen or like 2-3 people, maybe that’s a problem
- 01[00:06] <04@Borya> I agree with AmeliaGato (I know, Jen, I don't believe it either..) ... Give me more numbers and %s to work on, on how good or bad my sponsors are. I'll then reward or slap the good and bad.
- [00:06] <04@Penny> Sorry guys but I got to run
- [00:06] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> cya Penny
- [00:06] <07%AmeliaGato> Bye Penny
- 01[00:06] <04@Borya> See ya Penny
- [00:06] <07%AmeliaGato> Borya im going to write about this in my diary.
- 02[00:06] * @Penny (Mibbit@MR-8EA2D43B.broadband.vi) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [00:06] <04@ChrisVaughn> another issue, that I've noticed, that is kind of related, is that the dynamic off how people play has changed significantly. used to be that people played hard, and wanted to do work to get on. There is still a core of those players, but there also seems to be a huge number of people who just want to play. Don't want to get involved, don't want to be a hand or as CL, and keep most of what
- [00:06] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ralph aye, the solution is make them unkillable for much much longer, or assign them to crews or something
- [00:06] <04@ChrisVaughn> they earn. People seem to be a lot more selfish than they were 5 or 10 years ago
- 01[00:06] <04@Borya> No, AmeliaGato. Do not document it!
- [00:07] <07%AmeliaGato> To late.
- [00:07] <07%AmeliaGato> Selfie'd it
- [00:07] <07%AmeliaGato> Going on facebook.
- [00:07] <07%ralph> making them unkillable won’t do anything if your average user has maybe 15 minutes to try the game out
- [00:08] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the -4h/48h rule drastically increased the number of people who stayued after a 2nd login since they were alive
- [00:08] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ChrisVaughn thats moslty due to the culture of the current crop of people not being socially interactive
- [00:08] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> like, joeyO and zeus for example
- [00:09] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> they cant get in here because they dont use irc
- [00:09] <04@Simplicity> Many use the in game chat instead
- [00:09] <04@ChrisVaughn> I'll agree with you on that Izzy. its something again i've been trying to fight, but my own real world issues are curtailing my own time here
- [00:09] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> when you only use crew chat/dsistrict chat, you severely limit the sphere of social itneraction
- [00:09] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> you can see this in #divinelunacy
- [00:09] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> when people are talking
- [00:09] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> others chime in and talk
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> when its dead
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> it stays dead
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> you have 20 people staring at the screen
- [00:10] <04@Simplicity> There is also g1 and g2
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> one person talks
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and it kicks off
- [00:10] <04@ChrisVaughn> again, some folks just aren't interested in the chat, let alone IRC
- [00:10] <05Stefania> But Izzy, if you listen to the people who mainly use game chat, they don't see the point of iRC
- [00:10] <05Stefania> Zeus is a prime example

- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Stefania tahts exactly my point
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> my grandmother didnt see the point of traveling the world
- 01[00:10] <04@Borya> I much prefer IRC over the game chat.
- [00:10] <07%AmeliaGato> ^
- [00:10] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> everything she thinks she needs can be obtained in her little town
- [00:11] <05Stefania> Right Izzy, I meant to expand on that. Food is distracting me.
- [00:11] <07%ralph> chat is a different aspect (although i think irc is important for new members/retention)
- [00:11] <05Stefania> People feel DL is repetitive to what they can get on G1. We all use IRC, so obviously we disagree
- 01[00:12] <04@Borya> AmeliaGato. Please don't start agreeing with me too.
- [00:12] <05Stefania> but the game chat is there for a reason too lol
- 01[00:12] <04@Borya> We're not playing tug of war.
- [00:12] <07%AmeliaGato> But we could be.
- [00:12] <07%AmeliaGato> Trixie in the middle.
- [00:12] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> anyway, so that we arnt going down the rabit hole too deep
- [00:12] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> if you guys dont mind
- [00:12] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> can you talk to your sponsors
- [00:12] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and find out what we can do to lower the no-contacts?
- 01[00:13] <04@Borya> Ah, something that'll help with that. IzzyCreamcheese..
- [00:13] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> because even a mail 3 hours later... even a copy-paste mail
- [00:13] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> is better than a no contact
- 01[00:13] <04@Borya> I sent a mail to my sponsors the other day. A mass mail. However, it only sent it to the onliners.
- [00:13] <04@Simplicity> Sure, so whens the meeting for what we get reported back
- 01[00:13] <04@Borya> Is this how it's supposed to work?
- 01[00:13] <04@Borya> I couldn't massmail all my sponsors (both online and offline)?
- [00:14] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> hmm i dont have sponsors so i cant test easily
- [00:14] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> can someone with multiple sponsors try it?
- [00:14] <05Stefania> It only mails to those that have sponsor turned on
- [00:14] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> (it be a lot easier than me making mulitple accounts to test)
- [00:15] <05Stefania> I've notiecd it too
- 01[00:15] <04@Borya> ^
- 01[00:15] <04@Borya> Which I like the idea of.. Keep that. But can we also have the option to massmail ALL of our sponsors?
- [00:15] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> suyre
- [00:15] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> which we will have to do
- [00:15] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> since most pepel will be toggled off now
- 01[00:15] <04@Borya> Like this for example, I need to contact them all.
- [00:15] <05Stefania> yeah
- 01[00:15] <04@Borya> Aye, thank you.
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> on another side note
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> i was thinking abuot upping the minimum job numbers to 4 rather than 3
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but that has a downside if i do
- 01[00:16] <04@Borya> Suits me. I have 4 anyway.
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> that they are stuck doing jobs for just one guy too long if they dont ever mail
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and pass the magic window time
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but most have only 3 jobs
- [00:16] <05Skadi> i have 6 :x
- [00:16] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> which means by the time your sponsor mails them
- [00:16] <05Stefania> I have 4
- [00:17] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the member is already on the 3rd job for a 2nd crew
- [00:17] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> which is self defeating to the effectiveness of the jobs
- [00:17] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> (the first 3 cost the most, after that they are uber cheap)_
- 01[00:17] <04@Borya> Like I said before.. When I was new, I didn't even realise I was doing like.. actual jobs for a crew.
- 01[00:17] <04@Borya> Am I in the minority with that? Do these new players realise they are doing actual jobs and not just generic petty-style button clicking?
- [00:17] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> it says it right on the page
- [00:18] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and then also the person writing the RP should be using what they think is the best strategy to keep them on the hook until they get contacted
- [00:18] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> This text was provided by the Curiosity crew.
- [00:18] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> eh mayube that could have better wording?
- [00:19] <04@Simplicity> ?
- [00:19] <05Skadi> he is using as example
- [00:20] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya was saying he didnt know the jobs were done by people
- [00:20] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> i pasted the text the game tells the person
- [00:20] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and asking if maybe the wording could be better ?
- [00:20] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> like at the bottom of the job it says "This text was provided by the XXX crew."
- [00:20] <07%AmeliaGato> Hmmm.
- 01[00:21] <04@Borya> I dunno how it could be more obvious, TBH. I just mean... You don't expect to be doing jobs which trigger a reaction from someone. You expect to just be clicking buttons to get you started on the game.
- 01[00:21] <04@Borya> At least, I did.
- [00:21] <07%AmeliaGato> Maybe just a pop up when you first get to the jobs that says "Attention: These jobs are provided by individual crews. A member from that crew should be in touch with you regarding your efforts" or something?
- 01[00:21] <04@Borya> Yeah, maybe after the third job, stating to the newb "Someone from that crew will be in touch.. Keep doing their jobs or maybe check out another crews jobs?"
- 01[00:22] <04@Borya> So they're aware they WILL be getting contacted. Might even keep 'em around a little longer.
- [00:22] <07%AmeliaGato> Yeah
- 01[00:22] <04@Borya> If I saw that, I'd have done 3 jobs for every crew and then listened to them all to try and secure myself the best place.
- 01[00:23] <04@Borya> Fucking hell, AmeliaGato. Agreeing twice in such a short time.
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> Sorry.
- [00:23] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> Borya is that somethign that maybe the job RP text should push more?
- 01[00:23] <04@Borya> Don't be apologetic too. I can't handle this shit.
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> I just feel like I've really given my life to being a sponsor.
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> Ya know?
- [00:23] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> that they will be reaching out to you and contacting you?
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> All 12 days of it.
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> etc etc.
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> :D
- [00:23] <07%AmeliaGato> I think it would be good for it to say someone should be contacting you.
- [00:24] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> im trying to create a blank canvas to give the people the ability to sculpt it how they see best
- [00:24] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> the downside is, often it will be horrible
- 01[00:24] <04@Borya> IzzyCreamcheese: When I saw the RP, I saw it as a generic RP, not one written by a player. I saw it as like.. a game mechanic. So if my dude in my RP says "We'll be in touch." ... I'd just be like well.. I'lll see him later, when I level up, yknow?
- [00:24] <07%AmeliaGato> I mean also have a note about maybe them contacting hands or something?
- [00:24] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> or counter productive towards the health of the game
- [00:24] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so i dont know how to ride the balance of "save tens of thousands of advertising so we can put it into even more adverttising" and dealign with the backlash of cls saying im stepping on their rights
- 01[00:24] <04@Borya> Like, I finished off my last job with:
- 01[00:25] <04@Borya> "For the first time since meeting him, you're glad the man is as big as he is. The bodies aren't light but you struggle and grunt as you heave them into the car.
- 01[00:25] <04@Borya> "Guess them holes aren't for you today, kid. Help me get rid of these two and then see Praefect%sponsor% - they'll sort you out.""
- 01[00:25] <04@Borya> .. So they already know Praefect will be contacting them. They can even contact him.
- 01[00:25] <04@Borya> It actually tells them to contact Praefect. However, he's obviously (or should be) already going to be writing them a mail.
- 01[00:28] <04@Borya> So I guess it doesn't really need the extra "They'll be in touch" from the site. It's possible to do in the jobs, yeah, you're right.
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ok i gotta run
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> ill get the toggle on logon thing soon
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and the contact/non contact stats
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> if you guys can talk to your sponsors
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and figure out whats up
- 01[00:28] <04@Borya> Okay.
- 01[00:28] <04@Borya> Thank you.
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so that this way if we still see no contacts after the auto toggle
- [00:28] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> then we know the answers
- 01[00:28] <04@Borya> Rgr
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> id rather have a few extra grand every few months to put into advertising because we have a positive ROI on our existing advertising
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> makgin the game bigger
- [00:29] <07%AmeliaGato> Will do
- [00:29] <05Skadi> ok izzy
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and id love to do this with the CLs having the blank cavnas on how they want to do it
- [00:29] <07%AmeliaGato> Although Im 99% sure Gato and I just get called away
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> but how it is now, its just not working
- [00:29] <07%AmeliaGato> So once the auto toggle is in place
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so ill go through and make these changes on my part
- [00:29] <07%AmeliaGato> We wont have that issue I suppose.
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> if you guys can do the same on your part
- 01[00:29] <04@Borya> Sure thing.
- [00:29] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> so we can avoid having to change the way we handle new members
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> Maybe I will chuck a few new people on sponsor
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> just to see if we can get some feedback from them.
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> We have some newbies.
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> So that might help.
- [00:30] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and explain the position to them
- [00:30] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> and teach them :)
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> Yeah
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> And then see what they have to say about it.
- [00:30] <07%AmeliaGato> I'll talk to Chris tomorrow and if I get the go ahead I'll do that.
- [00:31] <07%AmeliaGato> You want the comments in a bullet point list with MLA citation right? Color coded? :P
- [00:31] <04&IzzyCreamcheese> you sassin me?
