In the vast, mostly uncharted realm of ROBLOXia, groups exist of all kinds. I think a feature should be added where a group can be a specific type/category of group, and the category could be applied across the search engine, group relationship engine, and even the forum (possibly).
Categories and Differences:
"War Group" - This group costs 125 R$ to create, and comes with five or six premade ranks instead of just three. Both allies and enemies are enabled for these types of groups, and places associated with this type of group could automatically be "implanted" with a two-team script which sorts players into Raiders and Group Members - similar to the standard group-base coding seen today.
*THIS IS THE ONLY CATEGORY WITH A DIFFERENT PRICE, AND THAT IS ONLY DUE TO THE EXTRA RANKS*
"Production Firm" - This group costs 100 R$ to create, and comes with the normal three ranks. Enemies are completely disabled, but alliances still exist in the form of "partnerships". These can only be made with groups that ARE NOT war groups, thus making war groups and production firms completely separate in group relationships. Clothing created by the owner or another user could also be "associated" with the group, making payment t-shirts more realistic. If another user made a t-shirt and sold it, and then associated it with a group owned by someone else, a portion of the revenue would automatically go to the group owner (this would be a small fee, probably between 10 and 15%.)
"Fan Club" - This group costs 100 R$ to create, and comes with the normal three ranks. Enemies and allies are completely disabled, and the default logo is an up-to-date image of the owner. It can still be changed if the fan club is about something else, but that is the default. Other than these options, this category is the exact same as a normal group right now.
"Social Club/Other" - This group costs 100 R$ to create, and comes with the normal three ranks. Enemies and allies are completely disabled. Other than these options, this category is the exact same as a normal group right now.
To relate these categories to current ROBLOX infrastructure, it only takes a little adding:
Group Search - Ability to sort group results by "Group Type"
Forums - The "Club Houses" section of the forums could be separated into various sections for the different kinds of groups
[Let There Be War] for War Groups
[Lights, Camera, Action!] for Production Firms
[Keep Your Eyes On Me] for Fan Clubs
[Let's Talk A Little] for Social Clubs and Other Groups
Use your imagination on what else could be here! Also, feel free to dig deep into the S&I forum for my thread on More YouTube-ROBLOX Linkage. Once you find THAT, reply here about how you think the two ideas could help each other.
