Potential Episodes Replacement

[ManateeDude]

im not sure how long the queues are right now but we could have a queue skip. Obviously the game would still need to be balance checked but a fast forward could be nice

[chitownmvp01]

a wall of fame pinned in the announcements and hand out flairs as signatures could be nice.

flairs as signatures wouldn't work because people could just copy them

I mean it's just dumb to copy it and as ryan said, some people have signatures turned off. I like the idea of voting on MVPs and other similar categories. I don't like the idea of an MVP winner or whatever being moved up the hosting queue, it isn't fair to people who have waited patiently.

So far, it seems like the pinned wall of fame idea is most feasible. Another idea I have is to have a correlation with the best players in episodes and Mafia Championship eligibility. Not sure how you'd go about this, but in theory it could be a way recognize strong play in a higher stakes game. Maybe give the MVP a leg up on their chances of being our representative?

Whoever gets MVP gets to host a game of their choice

[ejjinami]

I agree with chito here, hosting and playing should be separate matters.
While a promise to check game submissions faster would still be ok, completely skipping balance checks or queue would not imo.

[ElusiveBelle]

This is probably over convoluted and would include all the mods, or former mods, depending on who's willing.

Idea is pretty simple, all winners/mvps get to play in an "Allstars" game after the two games are concluded and mvps decided.

Depending on number of winners/mvps it'll be a smalltown, GiM, Upick, standard, etc game where the mods fill in however many slots are needed for the game to go, and the MVPs of that game get to be put on a wall of fame.

i'm fine with overlooking balance if it's limited to SFMs

90% of games that get rejected are for reasons that are not balance

[ryanyb]

Balance is a malleable term.
If your idea is provably trash, that walks the line between being a balance issue and being, well, trash.

MVP and Runner-up get to revive the FM Podcast

[SparkingJay]

Will this summer episode event actually take place

[ryanyb]

Probably.
My life got wack and it pulled me away from FM (again...)

I’m bringing it up with var like, in the next 30 seconds.

Biggest issue with this is there is almost nothing to give since it won't be monetary(Because why would anyone, let alone mods waste money for an FM game)
A signature pic won't work since they can get stolen once someone finds the link to it
Best thing that comes into my mind is an achievement/badge system where we make seasons of episodes and people get badges/achievements for their plays in episode games each season and the person with most badges every season is considered "the best player" (or something cool fancy I am not good at naming stuff) gets nominated for the MU championship (or an another reward mods decide)

In this way we can get people to play episodes competitvely while giving rewards less frequently
