Alrighty Fellers and Fillies, seeing as we've started to get this show on the road (again), I figured we'd need a thread to actually put our ideas down that wasn't cluttering the OOC Thread and use it as a checklist.Once something has been completed or is good enough to be used, one of us will change the status to [Complete]. The Status of a goal (along with side questions will be put in bold the Current Ideas Section for that goal will be Italicized and Suggestions will be underlined. Links will be...well, links.
Mind you anyone can offer up ideas, this isn't just up to our Captain and ourselves (Vice Captains, the Crew, all that.). If there's something else that needs to be worked on, feel free to bring it up!
With all this said...
Just as it says on the tin, this is just the stuff to add to our ideas right now to add to a better storyline to bring people in better.
- COMPLETE: Explain Technological Level better.
Current ideas for: Technology.
Done by Kiedara as a small story to serve as our guideline. The rest can be seen for ourselves as we write.
- COMPLETE: Make the list of important NPCs who will be DM'd by Moderators to advance the story when needed...and to prevent important people being controlled by the normal players...no offense, guys.
Current ideas for: NPC List.
We've got Leonidas. His RPer can work on Lieutenants. Any other important figures will be played by either that group's leader or a crewmember varying on their story importance.
- Done for now.: Group Locations.
One group will obviously be continuing from Imil, containing (so far) Maewen, Rayl, and Saito.
The other group in Lemuria seems to be going still.
At least one and at most TWO groups can start in the Tournament at Flint, either watching, selling things, exploring, Competing what have you. To get them into the groups and onto their adventure we have to decide what would cause the disturbance in the Tournament.
Numerous ideas for their 'call to adventure':
-Attempted Assassination after/before the Tournament.
-Attempted Assassination DURING the Tournament
- A Kidnapping at some point before/during/after of someone/something important to the king.
...poll time?
- ALWAYS WIP: Story Depth.
Current ideas for:Story Depth
We've got great background so far, just need to flesh it out more in the modern time so that multiple groups can get going without too much stuttering and problems.
-
Things such as 'how we're doing groups' Profile Skeleton Revisions, Et Cetera go here.
-COMPLETE!: Groups.
Current ideas for: Groups.
Each Hero group can have no more than four people per, one of each element, and will at the beginning start in different places, but may run into each other, seperate, form together, swap group mates, Et Cetera. We'll make a sign-up List in a separate thread, to be made after we decide where each group starts (We know we'll have one in Imil and another in Lemuria.). Each of these groups should PROBABLY be headed by Kiro, any of us Vice Captains, or by a Crew Member so that they can advance the group if they find themselves stuck in a rut of some sort.
Villain characters will presumably be starting out stronger than heroes, the caliber of which is unknown, amongst other things to be discussed...Also to discuss is whether we should have PC Villains at all. Also: How many characters should each person be allowed to have? (I vote one.)
- COMPLETE/b]: Clean up Shop:
Current ideas for: Cleaning up Shop.
Remove threads that are no longer needed, or move them somewhere else for posterity. Get rid of some clutter and potentially organize things better, if necessary. We could potentially have extra sub categories for other Aspects of the guild if needed, to prevent any other clutter.
Suggestion: Why not make a separate Sub-Category for all things Rule Related? This would include the Rules, Creative License Thread, Profile Sheet, and similar threads, just in general to prevent the landing page from being crowded, seeing as it's our discussion and chitchat section...and kinda messy. We could entitle it: Instruction Manual (Rules and Profile Sheet.).
Suggestion: Might I also suggest moving the Current Events thread over to the Main Story Sub-Category?
- COMPLETE/ONGOING: How would summons work here, anyways?
The Idea behind: Summons.
After a summon, a Djinn is "winded" or "tired" and has to take a break before it can be used again to bolster stats, or be set etc. Takes lots of magical power to unleash deities and spirits and such... Wears the little guys out.
Make a list of allowed Summons, and potentially guild created summons for plot points or what have you.
- COMPLETE?: A power level and some basic numbers will be mandated, with the option for more reference purposes.
Ryugi's Idea For: Stats.
Stats should be limited to mostly level denoting power level, Psynergy List, Special Equipment, and Djinn.
Boxy's Side Comment: In regards to custom psynergy: Should we make a thread for the guild made ones?
-WIP: Recruitment Campaign.
Current ideas for:Recruitment Campaign.
Bringing people here from a guild recruitment thread on the forums. Have links to important threads, and have the group sign up sheet included up there to be kept as up to date as possible with the group sign up sheet on the guild (see above idea.)
- -ONGOING: Activity.
Current ideas for: Activity.
We're already working on trying to bring back as many of the old group as we can, but we should possibly remove people who do not respond to any other 'Shout Out Announcements' We give out. We should also get on people's cases a bit more when necessary if they are not posting without some sort of reason, though seeing as things happen and all give a period of a month or so....Someone else explain this I'm bad at it. <_<;
