Committee

Information

You can see who the members of the player committee are by going to the city, and selecting Player Committee under the City Center header.

The player committee often serves as a bridge between the developers, staff, and players of the community. It is made up of a variety of players with different perspectives, experiences and game knowledge.

The Player Committee is not involved in every development release, their role includes providing input and feedback when requested by admins. This includes the potential implications of an update could be and how it could affect the balance of the game, advice on how an update is likely to be received by the wider player base, how user friendly the interface of an update is, assessing for accessibility, and beta testing for bugs and issues.

In order to provide the best feedback the Committee Members are occasionally granted limited access to the development server for testing.

In addition to providing feedback on topics raised by developers and admins, the Player Committee are also able to raise topics for discussion that the community have strong views on or that provide valuable insight to areas of gameplay that may be overlooked.

Applying for the Committee

Applications are rarely opened, but are located in the announcement forums when available. Players are occasionally invited by admins if they represent a certain style of gameplay, have a specific talent, or experience in an area that would benefit ongoing discussions

Committee Votes

Occasionally, the committee are requested to vote on issues that are particularly controversial.

This is to give admins an indication for how the committee feels and is in no way a binding referendum.

Member Standards

As members of the committee have access to privileged information they should never use their position within the committee for personal gain. Any potential avenues of abuse are checked, furthermore all claims made by the public will be followed up with investigations.

Members are also forbidden to share secretive information with anyone outside of the committee, staff or developers. They are advised to maintain this confidentiality even from close friends and family in real life.

Committee members are in positions of trust and are not permitted to scam (same as staff), abuse of this is determined at the discretion of a community manager.

This is to protect the integrity of the Player Committee and the trust of the wider community

The Community Manager will remove members of the committee that do not meet these standards and depending on the circumstances this could include a federal jail sentence.
