I am sure it has been brought up before, but if not, here we go:
To have Master Politician's be more useful after a city is completely set up, I think it would be great if Politician's could have an active role in Player-held events in game. It would perhaps give Politicians a reason to keep the profession after they reach master thus allowing politicians to be more functional as part of a player city and giving them a rich content cool gameplay feature too.
Examples of a PlayerEvent:
Festivals, Weddings, Trade Shows, Dueling Contests, Dances, Big Faction Meetingsetc.
Premise:
We all know the Politicians in real life love to take credit for large events and be on hand for the ceremonies (they are always mugging for the cameras). So why not have it be the same in game where having Master Politician allows you to more easily run player held events at your city? Player events at cities could be a great way to get exposure for a city, gain revenue frompeople buying stuff while there,getting people to come and have fun in game, etc.
Politician Commands and Abilities Granted:
- /declarefestival allows for registry of event time, global registry, type of event, etc.You can type /declarefestival and modify times and dates up until the event actually begins. Afterwards /declare event is enabled unless you cancel the event.
- Declaring an Event would be independant of your city's specialization. When some enters the city it could read as follows: You have entered [city's name]. The [village/city/metropolis] of [city's name] welcomes you to the following event: [master politician has the ablility to enter in the name of the event here when declaring the event].
- You can set festival prices for entry into a cityto raise revenues (much like an enterance fee on houses, it ejects you if you dont pay).
- Events could have a limit timer to space outevents to keep them rare, fun, and of quality. Each would also have an increasing monetary cost for the bigger the size = more costs to pull it off.
- Personal Events: such as weddings. Canhost every 7 days
- City Events: for residents only. Can host twice a month
- Planetary/Global Events: for all who wish to participate: every 30 days to keep them rare.
- A special architect crafted deed that can be placed in a city anytime during a event but will disappear after the event is over. Perhaps several different types depending on whether the event is a wedding, a dueling event etc. This deed would contain terminals where you can buy some of the features below.
Special Event Only Bonuses:
- Buffs, heals, and wound treatment could be given a 10% bonus during the festival.
- Musicians would be able to purchase a limited song that can be auniquetuneonly playedwhilethe festival lasts.
- Dancers would be able purchase a unique dance to be used only during the event.
- Image Designers would be able to get a few more colors perhaps "face painting" and a few extra hair styles.
- Allow for an option to list the event on the global map and an option to list it in the festival directory.
- Players who type /festival on any planet should be able to get a pop up window showing the day's events server wide.
- Allow for a raffle terminal where people cansubmit their name and try to win "door prizes".
If anyone else has ideas they'd like to add please do! The better refined an idea like this can be the more fun and potential it can have if implemented into the game!
