Deleting systems poll UPDATE

[Lemon]

The story team is weak and lazy though, doubt this happens - apparently even taking minutes and writing CNS News is too much of an effort,

All the new news, pun intended, goes directly into the game. We stopped posting news on the forums a long time ago and that much was my decision. Since the start one thing I wanted to do was stop declaring every new story development in either the patch notes or the forums. This way, you're incentivized to look around in-game and piece things together that way, from a combination of news articles and infocards. It lets people who roleplay as information brokers actually broker information for people who aren't inclined, or simply can't just fly around and look for themselves.

You don't get the mechanics of the game. CNS News have had around 1000 views each, they drove people into the game by providing forum canon and gave incentive to play it out in-game. The info cards are in such shambles you are pretty much writing the changes in-game for yourself and two other people, 99% of the server doesn't even know stuff is happening, or if it just isn't an ancient info card. You tried to incentivize people to care more about in-game stories and you have done the exact opposite. This experiment of yours has failed, story already knows the story, and it takes you 5 minutes to write CNS News. I could make another poll but the result would be obvious - just make CNS News again, come on man this is so obvious lol


And what the hell do you mean send me a draft - CNS News are CANON that should accompany changes to solars, systems and infocards. Tell me what solars you are changing ahead of time and what is the backstory and reasoning and I can draft CNS News - but that is what you can do in five minutes. Just because you write CNS News doesn't mean you have to spoil everything. Trust me I might be the only one who ever even noticed stuff like Fortaleza Base etc. you are doing completely pointless work people never even find out about when you don't write forum Canon.

Different isn't always better, I think this is the story of the current team. CNS News is a shining example - you make a decision on your own to cut something hugely popular and heavily used (I remember countless rp discussions revolving around CNS News, referring to them. We still refer to the old ones shucks...then find the finer details in-game in info cards). Just...why. It's the same bizarre logic of Markam Err and Systems who decide to delete the most popular systems in the game to make new ones later? In a game that runs on nostalgia? That had all new recent systems flop? What?
