[div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; margin: auto"]Howdy y'all! Okay, so I'm really excited about all of this (the new guide and meeting will be going up right after I post this thread), I've got a bunch of ideas and thoughts that I'll be putting in spoilers below, but before I actually implement any of my ideas, I want to know what you guys think and what y'all would want to see.
[spoiler=from my app] A twisted "honor" system is put in place. I'm still working on all the different aspects of it, but a big one would be that Badlanders can't just attack each other. They can still fight, but a challenge must be issued and accepted so that it's "fair", though they take no issue with and even encourage dirty fighting. [abbr=when Voldemort gave Harry his wand back for the duel but still used the unforgivable curses on him. not a perfect one to one but that's sort of what I'm getting at]Example[/abbr] but spoilers for Goblet of Fire.
 Capitalizing on the apocalypse. Everything is scarce now: weapons, food, clothes, other supplies and even people. Cat wants to hoard all the resources and take them from the rest of the world, and make it generally unsafe for anyone that isn't in the Badlands (forcing them to join if they want to survive).
 Marking Badlanders with either a bandanna or brand or charm so that Badlanders can all recognize each other and know who is and isn't safe. Possibly two-tiered (maybe even three); people that have proven their loyalty might get the brand in addition to something more visible, but people that haven't would be considered on thin ice and whatever token they get would be easy enough to remove. If it was three tiered, with those that have yet to prove their loyalty getting a necklace, those that had getting a bandanna but not willing to mark their bodies permanently, and then at the top those that were. The branded would be considered elite Badlanders and the most honorable (w the honor system) of all.
 With Catalyst's backstory being what it is, they would not be keen on electricity being restored and would be more likely to sabotage its return under the guise of getting it for the Badlands. That's just Catalyst and their goals though, and depending on the plots I could just as easily see them deciding that them controlling who has and doesn't have electricity could be far more important to them than ruining it for everyone.
 If people would be interested in it, rank reform and potentially a title system to go with the honor system.
â€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€ After going through the ranks a bit more, I definitely think I'd like to do at least a little bit of rank reform
not from my app but hey
also to clarify bc I think ppl are probably thinking this
 the marking thing? it's not gonna be like the IDs in ND. ik that not everyone liked that, but the markings serve a different purpose and wouldn't be issued in the same way
 the title stuff would literally be stuff like "Branded", it shows that that Badlander is incredibly loyal and can withstand a lot of pain so. it would be considered a pretty badass title to have, and it really is gonna be if you guys want to see something like that
