DISCUSSION: To Plot and Beyond

[thusiamods]

Hey guys, your resident mods here with a... not quite a full-out discussion post, but we'd like to get some ideas and points of note out there and your feedback on the matter. Particularly involving the latest plot and currently running plotlines. There have been a few discussions on plurk, but we'd like to have something more formal to make sure everyone has the opportunity to read and get their input on things that'll affect them.

There's a few things we'd like to touch upon with this post, the main points revolving around current/past/future plots and how we as mods can make things more fun for you in the way we handle them. Also on our agenda are things like State of the Game, God Functions, Player Accessibility, and probably more. To keep things organized, we'll be using header comments to cover specific topics and linking them in the post for easy navigation, so once you see a topic linked here, feel free to jump right to it.

CURRENT PLOTS: Moving HQ | Bitey Dogs | Weres

No prob!

And yes, I think a lot of the old school players here would find mspaint maps hilarious--imagine if one of the gods decided to be helpful and post up a map in HQ, even... using. crayons. or something. lizagon blood. :x

The original move definitely was outlined to make it easier to do stuff outside the HQ so if a loose map with landmarks would help facilitate that it shouldn't be too hard to add.

As for the rainforest, Dathusropi's one event that I ran actually had that weird hexagon grid thing that was actually meant to be a loose representation of a resources map in the area around the HQ. The map itself was ICly temporary since it was made up of just bits of things arranged on the floor and idk if many of the charas noticed when he mentioned that's what it was, but it could be a start depending how connected people stay to the rainforest.

Ugh! I love world maps! You know, you can always work on having characters try and dam up the flooding and pump it out in areas too - a way to have the same clearing mechanic work on the world as well.

I've made some world maps before if people need a general map to go off of, too.
