Bio

I am a Roleplayer with an interest in science fiction and fantasy, with a preference for Casual. I have been roleplaying for several years, and have even taken a stab at running a few RPs.

Outside the Guild, I am an Australian science student, gamer, musician and roleplayer (that's right, IRL too).

That was in the capital, was it? I'll figure out something.
@BBeast To answer your question from *cringe* a couple weeks ago, Moggotheddon is just going to sit underground all year unless disturbed by outside forces. At least that's my plan. If I didn't make it clear, Mogg is absolutely gigantic. If something did wake him up, he could run around trampling over entire towns, but in the meantime he is just going to unintentionally create several creatures that eventually get hungry/bored and start emerging onto the surface.
To be honest, I didn't think you would answer in that way. My question to you was largely rhetorical. But that plan makes sense too.
That's good to hear. I hope your new RP is going successfully.
It most certainly is! Very exciting, and with twenty-four players, it's a lot to keep track of.
Good to hear that there is some success on these forums.

Unread posts tracking would be useful, yes... especially if combined with a minor change to the subscriptions/forum page links from "jump to last post" to "jump to last unread post". maybe the notifications on subscriptions could be on the subscriptions page instead of the notifications page? like a tag beside/below a topic "n new posts"?
And you would have a number pop up in the Subscriptions button like it does for PMs and notifications.

I'll be working on the guild tomorrow all day as I usually do every Saturday. What feature should I implement? Some random big ideas off the top of my head: - Etherpads - A new interest check system where all interest checks just show up on one big list with a lot of filtering options. I would probably fit a tagging-system into this feature. - Dice - Unread post tracking - Notifications for new posts in subscriptions
My vote on priorities is for notifications from subscriptions (which would probably go hand in hand with the unread post tracking, although I'm not positive on that).
OK, so where's everyone else then?

Who should be able to edit the pad(s)? I suppose this might be where the "co-GM" concept makes sense. Need some general thoughts/advice on where to take it. At worst, it's just a chatbox with collaborative griefing.
I dunno if I like the idea of the Etherpad being RP-wide. I'd rather see integration into PM conversations. If you are going to make it RP-wide, then a GM/Co-GM might have the ability to check off the following permissions: * GM only (Co-GM obviously can't set) * GM & Co-GM(s) * All RP participants (defined by posting in IC/Character thread to avoid casual OOC commenters) * All Guild members * Specific people (with textbox to enter comma-delimited usernames) That's a fair few permissions, but it should cover the wide range of needs. It could probably be paired down to remove GM-only and Specific people if feature creep avoidance kicks in.
Agreed. The thread-based Etherpad would require the ability to limit who can edit it, to minimise griefing (with the ability to open it up allowing its use as a chat-box). And having PM specific Etherpads allows multiple collaborative posts to be written for an RP at the same time, or allows collaborating more privately.
A small tinge of any kind of color (perhaps a color that could fit snugly with this editor I'm typing in) would make the buttons look more natural. The UI itself is not bad, but it could use a bit of life in it. Mixing the currently grey buttons with another color might do the trick, though that's just how I'm seeing it.
That's not a bad idea. Obviously, they'll be a darker shade than the existing coloured buttons, because those are coloured in order to stand out. But what colour(s), though?
OK. I just wasn't sure. A while back the @Mention notifications didn't work when they should have and I wasn't sure if it had been fixed yet.
