Vanilla Mods to Community Mods-The *CML*

[HoneyBadger]

How about "Community Mods"?

And-if we can hopefully climb over all the red tape and legaleze of this (non)issue-does anyone have any mods they'd like to submit?

I've got quite a few, but I don't want to be the first to submit any, as it would be impolite and needlessly preferential.

If you do follow through with this idea, I would suggest limiting it to mods other than Nation mods. I would call the initiative something related to multiplayer, maybe something like "The Community Multiplayer Ruleset".

I think the initiative would benefit the community in that aspect, if the changes are general mods that are normally accepted in MP games like the ones I listed. Then the game host could choose to use the rules or not.

Foodstamp, I'm not proposing that mods be distinguished between what is a "good" mod and what is a "bad" mod. It's not about that, except maybe in cases where something is obviously a shoddy effort and should be excluded until it's been improved.

This is about getting people to admit that yes, certain mod nations are just as good as the nations the Devs came up with.

It shouldn't hurt any relationships, unless people are being overly sensitive and unrealistic. It doesn't force anyone to change anything they currently do or don't do. It just says that a particular mod has been approved by the community for use in "vanilla-style" games. It gives our creative efforts more weight than they currently have.

There, maybe that will end the argument.

I protest against not being able to vote, I don't post alot, only where I want to add my opinion or think someone might need help, or am promoting my own mods, anyway I think you should change it to 50 posts needed to vote, no one on this forum would bother to make 5 different accounts, go around on this forum or other forums on the shrapnel community forums posting 50 times each!

I most people have more of a life than that, anyway back to my point, I want, no demand! that it be changed to 50 or 100 votes! 50 preferably!

[HoneyBadger]

Well, I demand that you vote too, so-providing you vote atleast once on something-request approved!

I'm mainly concerned that this would turn, for lack of a better term, incestuous. How many people actually post here on this forum?

We're kinda vocal, but also rather small.

I think this is a GREAT initiative that has no visibility.
I have no time to experiment mods but it would be great to include balanced mods in our mp group.
I think is easier wait for Dom V than to wait for 50 votes.
Move it to the other forum and lower the number of votes.

[HoneyBadger]

There you go, I've made some changes.

In order to be more reasonable, I've relaxed the voting requirements to 30 votes, Corporal status or above. If people can't be bothered to post atleast 50 times, then they have no business voting on something like this.

I hope that helps.

Yeah now the small ones can vote! well... we need somthing to vote on.
