I have an idea that snail has brought up:
I recommend we include designers that have had low in game sets that have been hard to acquire to be either shop updates (unlimited or permanent) or DM. That way it won’t strictly be limited to teams only getting the set with so few winners and EVERYBODY will have a chance to get these sets. It doesn’t matter to a designer if their sets are DM/Shop, because it seems to be better if everyone is able to get them versus a few and having such a horrible inflation and destruction of the economy.

Whoever said flood more credits into the system, fight me, as you’ve obviously never taken an economics class.

wedding planning omg, good luck with that

i've only been here for like 3 weeks, so i'm not really the right person to ask looking back at the long run. however, i can totally agree with what have been said in previous posts, i didn't even know there was a modteam before sweet hypoxic made a competition forum, which was really fun. so the modteam definitely needs some more attention and visibility imo.

what i think would be cool - as suggested by people before - a party team. @Vuitton held an amazing party which really gathered people together. it was not about winning, it was just about having fun. everything has been a lot about rares, trades, selling and buying bla bla, so seeing that there was something you as a newbie could participate in, have fun, connect with people and still have a chance to win was amazing.

apart from that, i really enjoy being here and you - together with the other teams - are doing a wonderful job. thank you for taking your time to make this forum and listen to us!

That's kinda why we have the event team. It's not supposed to just be about comps, that's why the name is event team rather than competition theme like the other servers.
Personally I just think some new and fresh faces to the team would be a nice improvement, maybe someone who is willing to host these "parties"

i'd also suggest regular timed shopupdates with a dedicated designer (can change?) ? like a high quality designer set every week that gets removed once the week is up and the new set is put in

if every week is too much every second week would work as well

maybe even have monthly themes for the regulated shopupdate and cooperate with the blog or news team to write an article on the theme/topic? i just feel like almost every team is kinda doing their own thing atm so the site as a whole doesnt feel too coherent

i also think that designers should get more for their work than just their own set; i know its voluntary work but its debatably the most time consuming; it is at the moment more lucrative to send in your designs as a nondesigner (that doesnt mean i have a problem with the designer motivation)
i dont know what kind of reward would make sense tho bcs cr rewards could potentially further the inflation (and kaj probably wouldnt allow it lol)

There is a system already set up in team for a 'reward' system

not that many people really take it up though.

Also sorry for my third post. I wish you luck Jess and the mod team, seems like a lot is going on yalls plate along with your daily lives outside of VP.
I feel like if some things can be changed and everyone pitch together and not just leave things at a stalemate, things can run smoothly.
Its hard to satisfy everyone on VP, but thanks for trying yalls best.

My only worry about that would be regarding design availability unless we had some designers do one off special sets - Pearl being an example since her sets are sad damn hard to get right now.

I would like to continue the month themed sets that @ad0xa started running. They are great fun and the sets are available too all users to grab. It's also been suggested to put some sets in for high amounts. The NT teams to team up with that so it would be nice to get more teams available if they are up to it. A load of NonD's also join in - so it's a chance for them to show off their skills also.

yea, its difficult enough to get sufficient sets for the normal stuff each month (especially male sets) so i get that
yea, ad0xa has a lot of great ideas for shop events etc. so i think shed aditionally also be a good person to talk about regarding this topic and how to realize it

maybe u could combine the shop event with the design comps ? the "top 4" sets are the shop sets of the next month? and it still would be kind of a surprise since everyone wins in the design comps and the "top 4" would be secret
could be combined with designer bonus sets if a badged designer likes the topic and also wants to design a set for it

i'm not even going to waste my energy on this, but just know that, that was really disappointing to hear from a "mod".

What was disappointing about the statement?

I'm sorry, I think you might have misunderstood what I'm saying. I mean instead of creating a separate team to host parties (I think they're great and I love that you bring the community together), add people to ET that want to host the parties, like you or whoever.

ALSO this is unrelated to most things but i think we would all benefit from a change of the hall of fame games
not in the way that they should be reworked since that would require a lot of work but maybe they could be substituted by event team games
-> such as first to quote, scattergories, short dress up/drawing comps, etc. that amount to a similar amount of PD as the mm popstar """"""games"""" as a participation prize + the top 10 of every game get the weekly hof

that would require quite some work tho i just really hate the hall of fame game system we have rn
