I would like to propose a new feature for Season 2 of the Card Game. On the first of each month, all Nations would receive a supplement of 10 Bank deposited into their account. This benefit would occur independent of answering issues with-in the card game itself. The goal of the proposal is to make the game more fun for new NS players that are just starting out. It would balance the need for something that would be easy to implement, while not discriminating against how any active NS user plays the card game.
Currently, those who begin playing NS for the first time and attempt to use the card game find themselves with limited options. Starting with zero bank, they lack the capital to upgrade their deck size and face severe limitations on the extent to which they can
engage in the auction process. Depending upon how active such players are with logging in and answering issues, they may find themselves on the outside looking in for quite some time.
I suggest we remove this barrier for entry by supplementing each nation's account with a recurring bank deposit of 10 every month. This would give new players near immediate ability to participate in all aspects of the card game. They could use the bank supplement to engage in the auction process, increase their deck size, store the deposit for future purchases or gift cards across accounts to themselves or other players. In other words, they could play the card game using features that are currently bank prohibitive.
The monthly supplement would also encourage NS account retention, as those who may not be very active throughout the year would have something to 'look forward to' as they continue to accumulate their bank supplement on the first of each month, potentially reigniting their card game play interest should they return from absence.
The monthly bank supplement would be universally applied to all active players, and would not interfere with how any existing player chooses to participate in the game. Small niche collectors could apply the bank of ignore it. Large card farmers could do the same. One monthly bank supplement per nation account, all players equally eligible.
