What would you guys like to see on this tribe?

I'd like to get this tribe more active, but what would you like to see? Something similar to r/asoiaf?

I'd like to set up spoiler rules, etc at first, but what else would you guys like to see that makes this a cool place to hang out and have discussion?

Edit: I'm also thinking we should get some images up - like the banner and badge, etc. If anyone has some good ideas for the banner, I could try and work on something...

    Honestly, as close to r/asoiaf as you can get. It would make the transition easier and would boost member numbers.

      That's what I was thinking. I want people migrating over from r/asoiaf to feel just as comfortable.

        Well if you need any help, let me know. I dont really have any suggestions, but your welcome to bounce ideas off of me!

      I think the discussion on r/asoiaf is pretty great. However, it has lately become filled with memes and comments with the sole goal of gaining karma. If we could focus on discussion and analysis, I think this sub could be great. I haven't put much thought into this idea, but maybe a weekly thread with a topic for discussion could draw some attention.

        Thank you for the suggestion!

        Would you care to expand on the idea for a weekly thread? Do you mean that it follows a similar theme every week?

          My idea would be a full spoilers thread with one point of discussion for the week. An example topic would be "What do you think Littlefinger's plan is next?", with the users commenting their theories, ideas, and evidence from the books.

      I disagree; I think r/asoiaf has deteriorated severely. It's impossible to have an actual discussion over there nowadays; it's all memes (catchphrases, whatever) or people trying to out-do each other with ridiculous "theories".

      I'd rather moderation took a heavier hand in that aspect; cut down on the same old tired posts in the vein of:

      * "CLEGANE BOWL GET HYPE"

      * "And moonboy for all I know!!"

      * "Benjen=Daario=Euron!"

      * "Get your tinfoils ready everyone, I just read Homer and I know where ASOIAF is going!"

    For the banners, how about something like this? http://i.imgur.com/EDeT6cn.jpg

      Yeah, that looks amazing. But I think the banner has to be slimmer than that. Perhaps just the top part?

        I like that banner, c'mon level 6!

        • nik

          So I was looking at /t/news, and they've got 689 members and they're only level 5. Somehow they have a custom banner, so this level 6 rule must be brand new.

            Hold on a second. It means Chief (user) level 6, not tribe level 6. It really does sound confusing and I'll message the admins and get them to fix the wording. The whole point of it is so that users have SOME experience on here before making more advanced settings changes to their tribes. BTW You are already level 3 and it doesn't take much to reach level 6. (Maybe like 10-20 posts).

              Ah, okay, thank you for that clarification! I'll try my hardest to level up as fast as I possibly can. I personally have been stuck at level 3 for the past few days now. I'll just be more active.

      So it looks like this tribe needs to be "Level 6" for a custom banner. Not quite sure how long that'll take? But I really like that - all the castles would be great.

        Getting to level 6 should take a day or so if you're active. FYI, the tribe banner has to be 1680x153, so you won't get all that detail in there. May have to have someone with photoshop skills bring the logos up and overlay them on the landscapes.

        Some things you can do to level up is share your invite codes r/SnapzuInvites and complete some achievements. Quick ones are posting 10 comments, follow 20 users, and make 5 comments within 30 minutes of snap publication.

    Exactly like /r/asoiaf, with a little less DAE GET HYPE maymays.

    Otherwise, tinfoil and all that jazz is fine. I gotta get my tinfoil fix.

    I agree with what the others are saying. What was on The reddit community worked. However if you have ideas that weren't implemented on r/asoiaf I would be open to them.
