Some donor perks and suggestions

So I realized that MCG donor ranks really don't have that many perks to offer compared to other servers. So here I am trying to think if some donor perks... (Even though I'm not donor so unselfish jaja)

Also some regular suggestions will be included near the bottom

Donor perks:

-/shout command, once per game you can send a message that everyone in the map hears, not just the people near you. Example: /shout meet at the boat to fight me!

-/tp command in the lobby to teleport to players. Lobby only!

-have pets in the lobby, I believe they are currently only available in the hub.

-have a larger variety of items to sponsor

-able to buy more than 1 ticket. Read below.

REGULAR SUGGESTIONS (WIP)

-point lottery during lobby. Basically you can buy one ticket for 500 points. Once lobby finishes, all the points spent on tickets will be summed up. One ticket will be selected randomly and that person gets all the points.

My comments are in bold and red.

If this was to be a thing, I think it should be something along the lines of once per game for iron, once every 10 minutes for gold, per 5 for diamond, and maybe 3 for plat. Something similar to that, doesn't have to be exact.

-/tp command in the lobby to teleport to players. Lobby only!
I don't really see this being a thing. If anything, it would be abused in the parkour.

-have pets in the lobby, I believe they are currently only available in the hub.
This is gud. Me gusta. However, make sure that future lobbies are large enough to accommodate pets, and that parkour cannot be abused with pets such as horses.

-have a larger variety of items to sponsor
Any suggestions? I do feel like some variation would be nice, but I don't have any idea of what.

-able to buy more than 1 ticket. Read below.

This is a REALLY cool idea. I do like this idea, although it's basically an easy way to get points free. But at the same time, you're spending points to enter, so it's kind of fair-ish somewhat sort of....ish. xD +1 support.

Not a fan of the "wider variety of items to sponsor".

Like mentioned, what else is there to sponsor? Maybe have the ability to sponsor items multiple times?

Also, you could always do something simple like gaining 10% more points for killing someone.

Simply more items, maybe a wooden sword, and other things but I'm tired right now and can't think >.<

I don't think chad would ever add anything that would give donors an advantage. He has already stated that he doesn't want Mcsg to be a "pay to win" server (every factions server to ever exist should take example from this) and being able to sponsor different things than regular players would be an advantage. This isn't from the perspective of someone who isn't a donor either (I have had iron donor 3 times in the past).

I see what you mean, but the only one that would give a donor an advantage in game would be the /shout command, and even with that, I don't see how it could give a donor a much bigger advantage. I guess that more sponsor items could be a small advantage too, but not by much. I think that these perks should definitely be added. The other perks would just be for fun in the lobby, so I don't think these suggestions would make it a pay to win server.

Some of these seem like decent ideas. The larger variety of sponsors seems very useful, and would actually be a real reason for players to buy donator. However, the /shout feature seems sort of impractical, as this is meant to be hunger games style and designed in a way that you have to search for the players. The ticket idea seems sort of pointless in my opinion...

I would like to see fishing rods added to the sponsor items list myself but not as a donor perk, considering how much of a difference it can make to some people. I really can't think of anything that would be worth even adding that wouldn't upset the balance too much.

The points you earn are based on how much the player has, it would sort of be unfair to loose a lot more points simply because a Donor killed you :/

What if they still lost the regular amount of points, but a little message came up saying something like "plus 10% points boost".

Dunno possibly it would be a good idea but I can see the flaw in it where people will complain its way to unfair xD
