YoungBlood predators.

Post by DeadLantern » 27 Aug 2016, 19:41

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Instead of excepting someone fully as predator, an admin can instead choose to enter a 'youngblood' phase. This is like when you are a trial admin, you don't get some of the gear, and you will be closely moderated to be promoted into a blooded predator.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allow iffy predator people to have a trial run.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): It would be better to test someone instead of giving him the real deal and him failing.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding and some more coding. Maybe a new Sprite for a younger predator.

I'm pretty sure this was a thing before at some point, but now it is no longer a thing. I wouldn't know why but considering that it was done before and stopped being done, probably won't happen. Admins have a lot on their plate already without also having to potentially watch other trial predators. -1 for these reasons.

This is kinda in the works already from what I've heard.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

Once you are accepted, you have full access to everything any other predator player has access to. This often leads to problems with predator players not knowing what they are supposed to do, how they are supposed to act, or other not having someone to guide them. Generally speaking someone from staff will usually take on the role of elder and guide new predators, but that's not always the case. It would be interesting to trial new players with a selection of three random players and an elder, who would give their opinion on the performance of the youngblood after the hunt is over, since it's only through trial by fire, so to speak, that you can really get a feel for how someone does.

Will this have to go through those who have been recently accepted or once they have been accepted after this maybe implemented? For now ima stand nuetrel, either lead to +1 or -1.

I like this idea a lot, if I ever decide that making a predator app is a good idea, having everything explained to me before I actually become a full on predator or decide "Hmm this is way too friggin complicated" would make life so much easier, and I imagine it would make RP'ing as a pred a heck-ton easier once you become a full predator.

There used to be a system where you'd be taken on a trial hunt by Staff, and taught how everything works, but right now you're thrown in at the deep end. This way, we have a Predator that can be clearly differentiated to more experienced ones, so Staff, and other Predators, know that they might need help and guidance.

Denied.

Weve already discussed this and its not going to happen.
We wont base trials upon a single one round predatoe experience.

Its too much work and you cant accurately gauge the needed information.
