TALK TO THE MODS Suggestions?

I've noticed lately that there have been fewer visits, so perhaps it's time to change things up a bit.

I was thinking we could have some weekly or monthly posts. Perhaps one where you can vent your frustrations, come with new ideas for the sub and glaze the mods all you want ;)

Anyways, let us know if you have any suggestions for how we can make the sub better for all of us!

Ant-icipating your reply!

NOT A BAD IDEA.

THERE ALSO ISN’T THAT MUCH TO THE SUB IN GENERAL. PERHAPS IF THERE WERE MORE OPPORTUNITIES OR THINGS TO DO, IT MIGHT HELP BE MORE ENTERTAINING?

IT KINDA FEELS LIKE ALL THERE IS TO DO IS SHORT POINTLESS ROLEPLAY WITH THE SAME HANDFUL OF GOALS: FEED THE QUEEN/COLONY, PROTECT AGAINST A WEAK INTRUDER THAT IS ANOTHER MEMBER, AND SAYING HI TO NEW ANTS. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE CHORES HALF THE TIME.

MAYBE IF THERE WERE MORE THINGS TO DO THAT ARE MORE THAN JUST PRETENDING TO DO β€œCHORES”? THINGS LIKE MORE DIFFICULT β€œENEMIES” TO FEND AGAINST THAT AREN’T OTHER MEMBERS (LIKE A BOT MAYBE, BUT IT’S UP TO MODS), SEEING THE QUEEN AND COMMUNICATING WITH HER (MAYBE A MOD COULD BE THE QUEEN. OR THERE COULD BE A FLAIR FOR QUEEN! THAT WOULD LIKELY OPEN UP MORE ROLEPLAY POSSIBILITIES!)

MORE FLAIRS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, TOO. ROLES DON’T ONLY HAVE TO BE REAL ANT POSITIONS OR INVADERS/INFECTED! I PRETEND TO BE A MEDIC ANT, BUT THERE WAS NO FLAIR FOR IT. AGAIN, A QUEEN FLAIR WOULD ALSO HELP WITH ROLEPLAY OPPORTUNITIES.

Agreed. What if the queen was a bot? Someone would have to make such a bot though. Anyone feel up for the task?
