Although I like the idea, I would like to see two different MFNs if this is in the pipeline, a MFN that doesn't require you to gameplan for hours and one where you log on for hours and gameplan to your hearts content.
One of the things that attracted me to MFN in the first place was the 'level' playing field. In recent months this seems to have exploited in various ways and IMHO there are now 2 tiers of players, the elite who go into great detail and seem to spend endless hours on here, and people like me who log into a team, watch the game, spend 5 mins setting tactics and carry on with RL.

Sorry , not trying to pour cold water on this idea.


I think you might be missing the point of the idea. This isn't a 'play editor' where each GM would be making their own plays to use on their own team, (I'm against this,) this would be a community effort to help JDB make more plays that would be available to all the GM's. We would be designing plays to be thrown into the pot of plays already available.

I agree with you about the level playing field, it's important that everyone has a chance to win.

the game needs more plays and diversity so it doesn't become stale (which many will argue has already happened). It could be a process where we have a poll system and the community votes to introduce 10 plays a month or something, i'm not sure. We definitely need to add plays on both sides of the ball so there isn't just the same plays being run by all owners. To me this is a critical addition to mfn's future.

This is a good idea but I think JDB should first fix the 50% of useless plays first, they should not be useless. Theres no point in creating plays if the ones you already have are broken anyways.

On the radio show jdb already stated he doesn't have time to build plays since most of his time is being spent on the engine. This idea would allow all the innovative owners on the game the chance to add to the game. If we get a new plays in we can get rid of the plays that don't work or wait til the engine gets to the point that those plays will work. There's a whole aspect of the game (screens) that's not even represented in the playbook.

I still would rather a play editor or creator. If some wants /has the time to gameplan scout make rules . .......I feel it is only fair to allow them to make their own plays. My whole book would be customized . Much like owners rules . The same argument could be made to make a community rule customizer as most of those rules should be in the AI anyway. Upgrade that first IMO. I mean a team never going for it ever on 4the and less thann one? Alot of the AI acts in a limited way and could be improved. I hate votes or lobbying way too political . It's a beta game , but one could argue that what breaks the code now will always so I am up for any change that makes the game more real.
