✔✅ THE EMERALD SHOP 3.0 ✔✅ Quality orders done by friendly, reliable, and professional staff! ✔✅
Although I probably can't vote, I like things the way they are and vote 5.
Why? First of all, all the options are like ‘demoting’ new workers/trainees. They sorta get ‘neglected’ during votes, and their privilege is very low, which makes them ‘not want to join the shop’ since they consider TES mistreating them. I understand that you are trying to make new workers try hard but that may backfire as them not joining at all the masses of them just getting fired although they just forgot to respond to ONE activity check. I like that the president can remove strikes from good workers, but I don't like the other suggestions which mostly include a imbalance of power and making everything the opposite of democracy. Not that there should be too much, but you still need some of it.
one vote for trainee, two votes for workers, three for BoD and four for president? No. Why? The trainee votes basically wouldn't count at all, and if there were about 4 options/people in the vote, the one that the president votes would most likely be the winner. In TIPS, I only vote if there is a tie, such as not to let my vote influence other votes. And if the voting method is like this, the bulk of the voting would be the BoD, which (unless super-lot of the workers want to vote something), the BoD and president will win, which is really unbalanced and makes the upper ranks deaf to the voices of the lower ones.
That's all I have to say. I don't actually have a say…
Thank you.

Result of Shop Suggestion Vote
I asked all shop members to vote on KittenDude172's suggestion for the shop. There were 5 options in the vote and the results are as follows:
This means that the winning option is Option 2! Just a recap of what option 2 is:
What this new rule means
Any questions, just ask!
All the best
FloatingMuffins
I asked all shop members to vote on KittenDude172's suggestion for the shop. There were 5 options in the vote and the results are as follows:
- Option 1 - 16 votes
- Option 2 - 30 votes
- Option 3 - 20 votes
- Option 4 - 27 votes
- Option 5 - 17 votes
This means that the winning option is Option 2! Just a recap of what option 2 is:
Option 2
- Trainees need just ONE strike to get kicked out.
- All new members have to be trainees. After they respond to 3 activity checks they become “full” members.
.
- Trainees get 0 vote. Members get 1. BoD get 2.
- The President can remove strikes from very valuable/hardworking trainees.
What this new rule means
- For current trainees: They will now not get a vote and will only need one strike to get kicked out. They need to respond to three activity checks before they become full members. You are no longer able to become a full member by simply meeting the requirements.
NOTE: I will promote Big_Brick_Studios and KittenDude172 to full members now just before this system is introduced as under the old system they would be full members.
- For current members: They will continue to get one vote.
- For BoD members: They will now get two votes.
- For new shop applicants: All new members start off as trainees and must respond to three checks before they become full members. You need to meet all the requirements in order to join the shop as a trainee.
Any questions, just ask!
All the best

Will any existing trainees get fired because they don't fit the requirements?

Not yet, but I should have results out today or tomorrow. Have you decided the occupants of the vacant BoD positions yet?
Also, I'm currently updating the terms in accordance with the results of the new suggestion. I'd recommend checking and/or reviewing the extra info section of the front page soon, as it's been updated a lot recently.

Result of Shop Suggestion Vote@congyingzhou said this is unfair, and I agree. Trainees need one strike to get fired and can't vote. This is like the Middle Ages! It's as if the trainees are the peasants and pages, the members are noblemen, noblewomen, artisans, merchants and normal people and the BoD are kings, queens, knights, jesters, lords and ladies. That's excluding the trainees and people wouldn't want to apply to be staff! @congyingzhou has made me see a whole new world to this idea. I know that they'll be out of it once they have replied to three activity checks, but this is CRAZY! I am seriously thinking of leaving this shop. If I leave this shop soon after I make this post, you'll know WHY.

Also, in the application section you may want to get rid of the sentence: “If you don’t fulfill these conditions, you can still apply as a trainee”, as it's not really relevant anymore. Sorry to bother you again!Oh, thanks for the reminder! Just a reminder, FollowCherryBlossom wasn't removed from the staff list.

Hey, -ShadowsHiding- When I put out my initial post, I sent I asking for two artist. Because this game have a TON of art in it. I will just name some of the big stuff. 1. The big first cut scene. 2. Extra rooms in the the ship. 3. Menus 4. Visual FX (The pull in at the end of the game or high damage) 5. Load up art (Art between levels for loading screens) 6. Promotional art. (Art for forum posts) 7. 3D visual design enhancer (The earlier levels in the game are pretty dull and I have run out of ideas for making it look better with out textures)Sorry the dialogue box is taking a while…I'm working on it. Sorry, again.Are you an artist? Any new orders?
All I am trying to say with this is that the project is a 2 person effort. And while I believe you definitionally could do the job on your own, I don't want any compromises for quality like having to be rushed. Sorry if that post worried you.

Result of Shop Suggestion VoteUh Id rather be a trainee lol… don't worry ill be a member in 3 months or so
~snip~~snip~
- For current trainees: They will now not get a vote and will only need one strike to get kicked out. They need to respond to three activity checks before they become full members. You are no longer able to become a full member by simply meeting the requirements.
NOTE: I will promote Big_Brick_Studios and KittenDude172 to full members now just before this system is introduced as under the old system they would be full members.
also, I think we should have people who applied within the last month to become trainees I feel like this would make the resentment towards me higher…
Think of it as having to actually work to get into the shop… this would remove most of the new members who join and immediately become inactive, and actually give the trainee role a purpose. This is a step forward, not back to the Middle Ages. Also, I don't think they had many votes, it's a feudal system where the kings basically decide everything. @congyingzhou said this is unfair, and I agree. Trainees need one strike to get fired and can't vote. This is like the Middle Ages! It's as if the trainees are the peasants and pages, the members are noblemen, noblewomen, artisans, merchants and normal people and the BoD are kings, queens, knights, jesters, lords and ladies.

Also, I will leave this shop soon on this account. maybe I will sign up to be chairman
