The Heir
An issue I think that is prevalent in Dominations, Populates, and maybe Junctions, is that factions are incentivised to stop posting once 30 posts are reached.
Now, people should not, but with a limited amount of time to expand within a month, it is in my opinion, undeniable that factions that engage in these kinds of threads, will want to give enough time for each thread to get off the ground, which incentivises the quick conclusion of each thread.
My proposal would be, that for every instance of a multiple of 30 being passed, the faction would be allowed to expand into another hex.
For example, in a domination in which 30 posts are reached, obviously a faction could claim a hex, however if it reaches 60, it could claim another, if it reaches 90, another.
Now this way, I believe that factions would be incentivised to finish the stories within a thread, without the pressure that it might be someway “wasteful”. While another incentive to be posting long stories, is always a bonus.
And since it’s not a reduced amount, it’s not as if a faction has any benefit in forcefully pushing a thread along, as if the story within a thread is finished, they could simply just begin another thread and still aim for 30, rather than trying to force it to another multiple of 30.
