What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Remove the current MC&D and replace it with its own donator only regiment

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I know of.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Source of income for Ventz, great benefits for donating and new content for surface and regular players alike.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Implementation would be difficult.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
MC&D currently is a waste of server assets and causes more havoc than entices fun.​

​



Through careful thought and consideration I've decided with the help of my AI partner to devise a ranking structure for a hypothetical MC&D Donator Only Regiment. Considering most if not all information on the actual group in lore has not be discovered/created basing any current information on a hypothetical regiment would be neigh impossible. The thought of this suggestion is to incentivize donations and create a flashy new regiment that would bolster surface activity at the same time. A surface rework would greatly improve this whole rework however a complete surface rework would take a very long time and require lots of man hours.​

Below was a provided ranking structure that my partner has devised through information gathered from the Wiki of what a hypothetical regiment would look like, real time. As you see there is quite the numerous amounts of curiosities within MC&D, and since not much is known about them the ranking structure should be created with a uniqueness and greed based theme. However this many jobs would be stupid to include, so there is where my Donator only suggestion would come into play.​


MC&D; Hypothetical Regimental Structure​

​

Upper Echelon​

  1. Principal Partner: The enigmatic leader of MC&D, known only to the highest ranks.
  2. Senior Partners: Elite members who oversee global operations and major business ventures.

Acquisition and Procurement​

  1. Curators of the Unusual: Specialists in identifying and appraising rare and anomalous items.
  2. Brokers of Shadows: Skilled negotiators acquiring items through underground networks and clandestine means.
  3. Collectors of Curiosities: Field agents tasked with retrieving and securing new acquisitions.

Sales and Clientele​

  1. Masters of the Market: Oversee the sale and auction of anomalies to elite clients.
  2. Ambassadors of Opulence: Client relations experts managing requests and preferences of high-profile patrons.

Research and Mysteries​

  1. Custodians of Secrets: Researchers dedicated to unlocking the mysteries and potentials of acquired items.
  2. Artificers of the Arcane: Technical specialists handling the containment and care of anomalous objects.

Protection and Enforcement​

  1. Guardians of the Veil: Security experts ensuring the safety of MC&D properties and events.
  2. Enforcers of Silence: Operatives tasked with dealing with threats to the organization’s secrecy and operations.

Logistics and Administration​

  1. Stewards of the Vault: Manage the logistics, storage, and cataloging of the MC&D inventory.
  2. Weavers of the Web: Intelligence agents responsible for information gathering and espionage.

Specialized Roles​

  1. Patrons of the Bizarre: Elite clients who sometimes partake in missions for exclusive access to rare items.
  2. Harbingers of Discord: Special operatives sent to destabilize rival groups or situations advantageous to MC&D

All of this information provided through my partner is obviously hypothetical and up for changes and discussion. These jobs would obviously require balancing and structuring to ensure they aren't any better than the free regiments provided through just playing the server regularly, however you would still need to include a system to enrich and reward those that spend their hard earned money to obtain these jobs.

The basic idea behind this suggestion is to give MC&D a purpose and a place on the server as well as, most importantly securing Ventz investment of this server as a whole. With a group that is tied through greed and money, its only fitting to make them a donator group and incentivize Ventz to spend the time to make them.

Below would be a generalized structuring of the donator package names and amounts to obtain these package, of course who gets them for those that have already donated would be up to the discretion of Ventz and Network Leadership, but at the same time more could be added for higher dollar amounts. Currently MC&D is quite literally the most useless job you could have and use being only salesmen for energy weapons and to top it off its a 80$ salesmen investment which in my books pales in comparison to even the smallest benefit to the XK rank which would be the XP increase. These of course are simply hypothetical and just to spark an idea for anyone that might have a more efficient way of implementing thing without breaking the server.​

i see where your mind is, but this is just not great. this will not work out as well as you think it will - as other people have said, this is an entire other faction to split the server population between.

you have also neglected to look into prior suggestions - there is a recently denied MC&D suggestion with the denial reason that MC&D is being reworked - i mean that's not to say you shouldn't suggest things for things that have said are going to be reworked, more so just keep in mind anything that would probably conflict with what is planned. i would wager that this does.

I can say in a myriad of ways this is a bad idea.

However, I will instead focus on looking at this from a lore perspective. None of the ranks are true and accurate to how MC&D structures their branches. "Supreme Partner" means nothing when the three partners jointly owning MC&D are the group's namesake. Especially considering MC&D doesn't research. They take, document, sell.

This is also financially inoperable. No one's going to pay $500 for one faction.

Again none of it is what they will be, more of a structuring idea.
They also do have partners, the group is not just run through Marshall, Carter and Dark. The top three would essentially be what the O5 are, with administrative departments running their lower corporate ladder, more so 'partners'. For the sake of fluidity you can't copy and paste the lore verbatim to the server, you have to actually think outside of the box to make things fun and interesting. Especially with how open ended most of the stories and groups are in the SCP Lore.

They operate just like any regiment but with more of a corporate structure following the veil of secrecy therefore they would indeed have a R&D department. They essentially outsource most of their surface level operations to protect the veil of secrecy.

From where i came from, MC&D was bigger than only one salesman, it was a Salesman, Operative and Agent who acted under the orders of the Salesman and salesman only, the Operative and Agent were both free to play with levels included of course, they had good guns and the salesman could sell them off to be Mercs/hitmen/contractors whatever to any purchasing party.

Additionally, the Salesman was able to give more things than just guns, such as Ammo for guns, Special modifications for items such as hacking & weapon upgrades and drugs.

If you made the Salesman like that ^ it'd be alot more interesting for MC&D Since then they'll be an actual Faction rather than one lone Salesman.

Using ChatGPT, Bard or other forms of AI isnt what makes this suggestion bad as usage of these programs can lead to new ideas and creativity.

What makes this suggestion bad is that you dont actually say what the ranks/benefits of said roles are as this type of structure will probably lead to pay-to-win packages in the store.
Also development time on this will be absolutely horrible
