Title: Allow users to change background color
Post by: Crlaozwyn on August 12, 2008, 06:49:31 PM
Suggestion: I think players should have the option of changing the background color ingame
Description: Colors are pretty, and people like different colors. We should let them choose!


Players most positively affected by this update (Virii Infectors, Newbies, Etc):
People who don't like black backgrounds.

List THREE reasons why these types of players would be positively affected by this update:
1: They would no longer have to look at a black background
2: They could look at other colors of backgrounds
3: Being able to CHOOSE black instead of being forced to look at it might help them overcome their hatred

Players most negatively affected by this update (Virii Infectors, Newbies, Etc):
People who have difficulty making decisions, colorblind people

List THREE reasons why these types of players would be negatively affected by this update:
1: Colorblind people could be offended that others get to see more colors than they do
2: Indecisive people might stop playing the game in favor of spending hours each day trying to find the perfect color
3: Indecisive people might spend real money hiring a consultant to help them find the right color, and therefore have less money to spend on the game

List as many reasons you can as to why this suggestion should be implemented (Minimum of 2):
1: Because I support people's right to choose (colors)
2: Black isn't really a color anyways... It's the lack of color. Is that what you want for this game? A lack of color?

List as many reasons you can as to why this suggestion should NOT be implemented:
1: The color of the background doesn't really matter
2. It won't attract any new players
3. It won't impress any old players
4. Your time could be better spent actually fixing problems with the game and implementing new features :)

There HJ, are you happy? Someone used your template.

I had to laugh after every sentence... and I like the background being black, it does not hurt my eyes as much.

I like to style things but this game is unstyleable. Which can cause problems for some people who play in school (I dont. Therefor am I the best student in class.) because its not flashing like a regular site like wikipedia or google.

As a graphic designer myself, 2-3 themes more with warm colors will be a great improvement. There are people that can look to the blacky screen and others that cannot.

... you guys do realize that this whole thread was a joke, right? I mean, implement the idea if you want but

Ah, My post was more of a joke than anything, I can't force people to use it. Like you said, it's simply a suggestion. The formula was more for bigger suggestions anyways.

That being said, I can't wait for someone to use the formula with the smallest suggestion possible :P
