Club on Earth

[Tsurabisu]

Phoenix has asked me to post: If there was a club on earth.. Would you guys attend it?

Do you wanna see a DANCE CLUB on earth? YES or NO.

[Jefferson Constantineau]

I had suggested this idea to Phoenix wen the new SS was being done... We had thought of the advantages and disadvantages and postponed the decision to a later stage...

Advantages---

More traffic
Less Boredom
Good venue for parties
Infuses a bit of fun into the sim
Decreases the omniball and thriller and other gesture spams decreasing ooc in main bases...
Sploders , tip jars, performers, djs can be fun

Disadvantages---

May lead to more OOC behavior
Shift of ppl from main bases to earth
Decreased respectability of the sim if the idea is not well planned and executed
Interference with RP events like classes
Reluctance of some ppl to RP and simply increase camping in the dance club
Carry forward of the ooc behavior even after coming back to the main bases. (like discussions and all)
Lag due to increased prims and animations ? (dont know clear details abt that aspect still)

Possible Tweaks---

Open and close time for the dance club
Slower exp gain if in club area.
Test dance club for a month or so to see the effects of it and determining long term benefits and losses
In-world voting for the dance club.

Feel free to add thoughts... Consider all options before taking the step.

I think if the club was closed most of the time and opened for pre-planned events it could be a refreshing venture. However, the club should be considered for OUR amusement, NOT to increase sim traffic.

The sim is an RP sim, to have perpetual DJ's, sploders et al running all of the time would be detrimental to RP.

If you want to increase traffic, encourage members to spread the word about the sim.

I'd also endorse setting up some kind of events calender to pre-advertise such dance events, regularly scheduled RP hours and so on just so no one can turn around and moan when either is happening.

i like the idea of preplanned OOC events as an aside from the RP stuff...it woudl be nice to meet many of the new members in an OOC way just to get to know them and each other a bit...

i have met a lot of interested people joining but many of them have said that they are quite intimidated by the vet's skills at RP and maybe meeting everyone on a level playing field (OOC club event) might ease that a little bit... i dunno

OOC events are going to start soon hopefully. Almost like fillers episodes. But the RP and IC events are still main focus. I've got a few request from different people asking for OOC events.

[HirokatsuGoto]

cool... maybe we could do a secret santa event

[Stress]

Ive always thought if the community gets to know each other better out of combat it will make things go alot smoother during roleplay so hopefully those ooc events happen, might be in the Sims best interest.
