    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    tutorial quiz
    What are you suggesting:
    im suggesting a quiz that happens after new players read the rules and tutorial. it could be a quiz thats done in the chat with commands. (server says: what is the main currency of ecc.1. /n-stars 2. /experience-points 3. /ecd. } the player would then answer with the correct answer(/ecd)). or it could be done by clicking signs. or portals (the correct one would lead to the next question. the incorrect one would lead back to the tutorial start or whatever.) .if the player fails the quiz they are sent back to redo the tutorial.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    this would be a good addition to ecc. in that it would reduce the amount of time the moderators have to spend answering pointless questions that were in the tutorial. it would give the mods more time to better the server. it would also lead in less players permently logging off due to confusion and frustration.
    Other information:
    the quiz would have to be completed before they are put into the world of ecc. they should not have the commands to tp out the quiz so they cant say they never did it. also the mods should have the power to make ceratain people redo the quiz and tutorial as needed.
    Plugin or custom addition:
    i do not know if this requires a new plugin or not. im not experienced in that area
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    This. Besides, moderators handle questions that are asked.
    And, since ECC is relatively complex, people are going to have questions regardless. I feel where you're coming from, but it's not a huge deal at all to answer questions, especially since it allows us to engage with the community and help people feel welcomed and wanted :p

    Learning how to play ECC is usually an arduous process of trial and error for a lot of new users, especially the younger ones. Even though the tutorial does provide a lot of information, some of it isn't as useful and they may not be able to capture all of it and memorize it. Not to mention that people are much less likely to continue playing if you pressure them too much right off the bat. Everyone has their own pace when learning a new game and this feels way too forced.

    This will ruin the fun for new players, especially when he fails the tutorial quiz...

    Many, perhaps even more, players would also log due to the frustration of having to complete some "test" as opposed to being allowed to play the actual game as they wish. Any and all necessary details are still always available to use via our tutorial (which can be warped to via /tutorial) and we have a great community and staff team that's happy to answer as well.

    You say it will lead to less users asking questions in chat. That's probably true. But many players would rather learn as they go and ask questions as needed, and that interaction with our friendly community/staff, as opposed to robotic/automated moderation, is part of what makes ECC the great community that it is. :)
