An added phase for Street Building

I was thinking about this the other day.  What if there were a bonus phase for street building that was similar to a shrine where you could drop in certain things and receive a larger than usual bonus for it and whatever was dropped in the most would add some kind special attribute to the street itself.  So, if you dropped in a bunch of meat to this bonus phase, the street would more regularly offer meat bonuses for nibbling.  Or, if you dropped in a bunch of poison, the average lifespan of trees in the area would be diminished.  Certainly, there would still be some kind of list to choose from, and it would work more off a time limitation than a quota system, but it would allow for users to have more implementation into how the world develops.  I don't think this should be available to all street builders, maybe a special bonus for the Top 5.  It might not be something doable, but I think it would add an interesting layer onto the process and it would encourage people to be more involved in street creating to get a larger bonus.

  • Interesting idea...seems more possible to implement than players really creating the world 100%. I think the top 5 idea might be a neat incentive...perhaps instead of a trophy piece, that could be the reward on certain projects (but not all). Might make them even MORE competitive though. Hmmm. I'll be curious to see what others think, but I like the originality of this one. Cool!

  • I... really like this idea. It makes the streets more unique, and building them more fun.

  • Yeah, the main thing about it that I like is that it can encourage players to work together and open further communication if you wanted to collaborate and steer a street in a specific direction.  You could be kind of evil and try to counteract what others are doing, but you would have to work to achieve that capability by being a Top 5 contributor.
