Happy Happy Holidays! ♥♥♥

Stop wasting your time on this game

Sooooo…6 days left until the next election. Any hints on whether there will be any changes?

B-)

Hey guys can you help me here I am just new here in godville

I agree with the other comment about allowing more people to run and even vote. I am running only because there was no one else that even reads the guild page that ranks high enough. Now that I am running there are not enough people that rank high enough to get the needed votes. Fun idea but guild 207 is leaderless at this time

Hope everyone had a good holiday

Voting needs to be open to all members of the guild for the simple fact that there are not enough active higher ups in most guilds to vote a leader. This is my guild’s second week of the process because we don’t have enough active members. If everyone could vote, then there would also be more campaigning, (which would probably be extremely entertaining), and members would be more active in talking with their guildmates.

I agree that there needs to be a tweak. My small guild has yet to get enough votes to actually get a leader, partly due to the ZPG nature of the game. Some members never participate in guild council chat, but are active prophets.

.

We are a new guild with 28 members but nobody ranked is higher than Follower. I don’t think we should be seeing this:

Registration is open This week is a nomination week. Any guild member with a rank of hierarch or higher can nominate themselves to be a guild leader. Healthy debates in the Guild Council are welcomed.

This is a bug. Since we have no Hierarchs, nobody can nominate. Since we have no Cardinals (let alone 5 Cardinals), nobody can vote. Why confuse us with stuff that we can’t do anything about?

Thank you, devs, for adding a countdown clock so leaders know when to change the guild council topic! I love it!

I echo Syrocko and Brinjal on having that be the minimum votes cast, but then the majority of those wins. A group of us are doing a huge “Get Out the Vote” campaign in Blue Feather, but we also have a couple viable candidates in the running. Even if we get 200 people to vote, and they’re split between even just the top two candidates - we won’t hit our 111 votes needed. I know that’s how this first election is happening, and I know it can be done, and I’m hoping we can do it too. This is just for future elections.

I would much prefer allowing individual votes to matter, rather than some subgroup getting to decide “This is who you will back.” Even with the idea of having everyone shift their votes on the last day to the top candidate - that’s a lot more communication (“Thanks for voting, now go do it again”) that needs to be done with players who may or may not be that invested in the process.

the good/ best thing about these new ‘guild enhancements, is that overall, whoever is ’in power’, will truly have little power at all. Like the Queen Mum, just a figurehead adored by everyone but welding little true power. (As it stands now) The worst thing about these new ‘guild enhancements’ is that it has broken the peace of GV, as a whole, and has also brought out the worst in a lot of us. For some guilds, it is applicable and beneficial. For some guilds, it is detrimental. A monumental move by the developers. Over time, it will evolve and ‘guild enhancements’ will continue to be added

I love it how the guild totem monster rewards the hero when s/he meets it.

Also, the more I think about it, the more I agree with Brinjal’s idea of making it so 35% of eligible members need to vote in total (I.e. The votes could be split in any way and they needn’t vote for one specific candidate) before a winner can be chosen. Maybe it could even be a little higher, like 40%. But changing the requirement this way would not have the advantage of not limiting competition and rival campaigns in large guilds the way the present system does, while ensuring that a winner could only be chosen if a lot of interest is shown in actually having one, and members can be persuaded to make the effort.

Our guild held a vote on our Totem Monster but the monster chosen by popular vote was rejected by the game. There was no way for us to check in advance that the nominated monsters were acceptable.

The error message for setting for totem monster is actively user-hostile. In trying to set a monster, whether there is a typographical error or the monster is a “strong” monster or another guild has already chosen it, the same message is displayed. Good luck guessing what the actual problem is!

The fact that the error message is only displayed once you confirm that you want to use this monster is an additional issue.

Since the field is free text and “fat fingers” and “auto-carrot” are common problems, adding some context to the error would help, for example “Monster not found (check spelling)”, “Monster is not a regular monster”, or “Another guild has already chosen this monster”.

I can confirm that five prophets are indeed required to set a High-level Title, even though the game made the option available to Order of the Monster Gods (presumably because we were top 20 in Popularity). It was not until I clicked “Set” that the game told me we needed 5 prophets. OK, I sort of expected that but it’s poor design.

The game should not offer this option if for any reason a guild does not currently qualify to set High-level Title. The message “A guild can set its own high-level guild rank if it has at least five prophets and it reaches Top-20 in the Popularity pantheon” should be displayed instead.

The Dinner for One guild has decided not to elect a leader for two reasons:

1. Not enough active members to meet the threshold.

2. Our guild has been doing fine without one.

Thank you

I am really impressed by all the creativity that is bursting forth! I know this hasn’t been an easy change for everybody but the results have been astounding. I just hope the devs can work out the kinks so that everyone can enjoy it!
