Sponsoring Ideas

[Toe]

Hey guys! I was thinking today when I was in a game of Ancient Japan, “Sponsoring should refill halfway through the game!” This got me thinking, and here are some of the ideas I came up with.
I think that at 15:00 through a game, a message should appear that states, “The sponsors have restocked their inventory.” This would mean that the entire sponsor bar has been refilled. Now, I know some might be thinking that this is a bad idea, because some of the more popular people on the server, (such as VIPs or highly subscribed Youtubers) would be sponsored the items again. For example someone in the first 5 minutes of the game dies, and types /sponsor ThatOneTomahawk, and they sponsor him an enderpearl, Tomahawk can not be sponsored that item again that game, even if the game goes past 15:00 minutes. It would be cool if the person one person could only sponsor 3 items, that way one player wouldn’t have so many sponsored items. Also, I think one player should only be able to have be sponsored 5 things for the entire game. This would cause the less known players to have a better chance. Also, it would result in a different variety of PVP. Someone could be getting chased, this time for example it being Tomahawk, and they have already been sponsored 5 times, so they wouldn’t be able to get a new item to help them run away. The chaser, for example it being me, might be given some more arrows, and that would help him win a fight against the more popular player.
I am happy to hear your opinions on this, and please answer the poll so we can see which item should be in the new sponsoring bar! Thanks!

Anyways, I agree that there should be more items. I like all the things you suggested at the top, which is why I would like to point out that you can allow people to pick multiple choices in a poll when you're about to post the thread.

I don't think you should only be able to sponsor a maximum of items though, or be able to receive a maximum of items. If someone wants to sponsor the whole sponsor bar, let them. None of the sponsor bar items are all that great except the enderpearl, which is generally the first thing sponsored anyways, some arrows, maybe a bow, or a cake. Sponsoring really isn't that big of a deal, which is why I think the system we have right now is fine. So add a couple items, but don't limit the amount of items that can be sponsored.

Thanks for this! Although I see what your saying, maybe they should add a few items to the sponsoring list, instead of just the same ones we have had this whole time. But maybe, considering your are one of the more well known players/forumers in the MCG community, it doesn’t seem like a big deal for you. But I am sure their are some people out there that aren’t really that good at the game that could sure use some help from a sponsorship!

I said in my post several times I want more items, but I don't want any limits on how much you can sponsor/get sponsored.

But if there is no limit, then the more famous people will continue to be sponsored, and that completely ruins the idea of having it refill half way through the game, since they would just be sponsored again

I have to agree with this. You can only be sponsored each item once; however, later in the game the sponsor items will refill and be able to be give. T someone else. Otherwise one person can get everything again and the point of this idea is to make sponsor items available to more people.

A. Games rarely ever make it to 15:00.
B. If they do, in most cases whoever got sponsored the first time probably already has really good stuff because he's probably pretty good, so he's probably going to win with or without the sponsorships.
C. Sponsored items really don't do much to help you win a game. 5 arrows aren't THAT big of a deal against a guy in full iron, at the point of the sponsor items refill, the person probably has at least an iron sword if not a diamond one, full iron and a bow which makes sponsoring iron and bow useless, and any of the food will also be useless. That essentially leaves the cake, which can be used for other purposes, and the enderpearl, which has one use. It isn't that big of a deal. I said all this in my original post, if you bothered to read it, which it seems like you didn't at this point.
