What's your suggestion?:
As you read the title, you will already get a basis of what this suggestion is. There is most likely not much of a need for me to suggest this as my understanding is that regions is an annoying plugin to work with, and KimiNoUso (as far as I’m concerned) is the only one able to do anything with regions. While this may be an annoyance to suggest for that very reason, I still think it would be best to be suggested.
My suggestion is simple and provided with screenshots, also the opinions of other club-leaders like myself. With the size of current clubrooms, while for some clubs it’s a perfect size, other clubs it is truly not a good size and a very limiting space. There is simply nowhere to put much of anything, of whatever they need the space for. Book club size is perfect for them since their focus is centered around a library, which could be argued if they needed more space they could go to the library in order to conduct their meetings or get more books for their certain criteria, which is a fair argument for them. But that size of a clubroom does not account for every club there is.
To reiterate my original point, I simply suggest that we give clubs more space for their builds to be housed in, even 6 blocks more of space would fix a lot of dilemmas for club-leaders and their specific club needs. For some, it’s not beneficial, but for others it would be able to have more opportunities for them.
With the screenshot below, the orangish-yellow line is to indicate where the current door is, while the red and green is to show where it could be moved to. This would give club-leaders just 6 more blocks for building plots. It’s not much but it could be substantial for some clubs such as Performing Arts or Music Club, which revolve around having some form of stage and bigger practice area.
Realistically the average player might not see the benefits of this as this catered towards a certain type of the community, since it’s a suggestion for a certain faction on the server. But that faction, like others, makes up this community and makes up this server, with the change of faction leads over to lumaflies, he has been working as hard as he can behind the scenes and upfront to get this faction more active with not only active clubs but active members in each club. While the first round of changes to the clubrooms months back had such a huge impact, from the much smaller clubrooms to the current size, and a much needed change. I still feel as though it needs to be bigger, times change all the time and demands get higher, club demands especially.
Through talking with my peers in these factions, I have compiled a few small screenshots of my conversations with them. I asked them all one simple question.
“How do you feel about the current size of clubrooms?”
Out of my other 11 peers, I concluded that most of them are compliant with the way things are currently but if given the opportunity to get bigger rooms, they would jump to it. It never hurts anyone to get more space, and it wouldn’t hurt the community or the server to let clubrooms take up more of the hallway space. From how I see and from the standpoint of many others beside me, there is a lot of dead space in those hallways, even if there are planters or tables to fill in that space, there is no real purpose to them. If people are going to hang out in those hallways for roleplay, then they are most likely going into a clubroom because they know someone in that club or are checking it out.
There are a few conversations that I had with some which were enlightening to even me to see how they saw it. How they saw the size of the clubrooms and how they felt about it, first we’re going to look at the lead of Fashion Club; ImSharktism. I’m going to include their answers over my own.
(Disclaimer; All of these screenshots are posted with permission.)
While the school is our playground in order to host flash events anywhere, the entire map is also our playground for that. It would be nice to be able to host our own events in the spaces intended for our clubs to thrive, to grow and create more of an open community space. It would show players where the clubroom is, while also inviting players back to come out in the clubroom, it would let them become accustomed to the members and the club-leader, offer more opportunities for roleplay and introduce newer players to another part of the server known as clubs. It would invite them back to feel comfortable enough to come roleplay in those spaces, to meet others and make friends.
While yes, it could be argued they could have went somewhere else to host the meeting if more people had showed up. That's not the point, they should still be able to comfortably house upwards of 40 people or 20 people which is the club's member limit per club.
Another person that I talked to and had a wider conversation with was the lead of Cooking Club; Erik Finster, he also felt the same way as the others had. While the current sizes are a big improvement from how small they were before, it still would not hurt to ask for more space.
I fully agree, it would be nice to be able to have a members only area inside the clubroom that could comfortably fit. While keeping that open spacing at the front for non-members to inhabit and hang around. There really is no harm in giving us more space, it certainly would not take away from the community or the server, it would only add more benefits to club-leaders and members alike.
We would have a space big enough to host flash events inside of without it feeling cramped. Invite people into the clubroom to see what all there is to do, how it’s decorated and how dedicated it is to the club in question. They would be able to see how things are operated more in game without needing to look at discord to see all the rules.
Another part that would contribute to giving us more space would be removing those side pockets where the lounging zones are. While I do enjoy those spaces since they are cuter looking, I do not see a particular purpose for them aside from allowing clubs to host flash events in those spaces. That issue could be easily resolved if we gave those spaces to expand the clubrooms as well. Most flash events are typically hosted either on the roof or the front of the school. Is what I have observed at the very least.
I really do enjoy these spaces and how they are utilized for clubs to host their flash events, but at the same time, we could just as easily host events within our own spaces if we were given the room to do so. Most of the time flash events are done during the chilled out hours of the day, when not many players are on. Or they are hosted on the roof or front of school for the most engagement. If you asked the average player where a clubroom was, 7 times out of 10, they won’t know where that exact club is. And that’s an issue that could be resolved if we had more space to host events in our own rooms.
How will this benefit the server and community?:
Furthermore, if you look at performing arts clubs or music clubs, they are such a demanding club since what they require is the most space to host rehearsals, to host practices, and most of the time they need some form of a stage. While they can fit stages in their spaces, it’s not enough space for them to really move around to host those practices. An argument could be given that they could use the stage in the gym to practice if needed, but not every mod or above will be around to give them access onto that stage, nor will they be around to be able to place equipment needed for those practices. Such as drums, or a microphone. It’s just not a lasting solution to this problem, it will only become an annoyance to not only staff, but to club-leaders needing to constantly ask when the next availability is.
In conclusion to everything stated above, while my other peers and I have come to terms with the spaces we were given at the get-go, it would not hurt to give us more. The benefits would mean little to the majority of the community that don’t involve themselves in clubs, but it would be a huge stepping stone to those in that part of the community to be able to dedicate more to their club, such as bigger stages, maybe a runway, etc. We could flash events in our own spaces, so players will learn and know where exactly that clubroom is, it would also invite them to come back and hang out.
Thank you for taking the time to read this suggestion, and I really hope you take it into consideration. I’m not just speaking for myself, I’m speaking for the entirety of the club's faction.
