<Snipped quote by Aeonumbra>
I have a rough idea outline for a system that can solve a variety of problems.

- A user can mark a roleplay as one of their "Active Roleplays". There are various ways of enforcing this that I don't want to ponder right now, but it can include things like: you can only post in roleplays on your "Active" list, a GM with a roleplay open to applications must manually add players to the "Active" list before they can post IC, etc.

@Mahz

Having the requirement to be manually added to the Active list before IC posting may be a hinderance, unless it was a specific opt-in checkbox in the edit form. It would be useful for some RPs, but not all. (In other news, approving new entrants gives a new use for Co-GMs) For those without restriction, you should be automatically added to the Active list when you make your first IC post.

I can imagine the Active RPs system acting similarly to the Subscriptions system. In fact, the two lists may as well go on the same page. Of course, for some reason a user might not want notifications from all their Active RPs, only a few (once you add read/unread posts, of course). This can be avoided by keeping the two lists separate. The Active RPs list can be beneath the Subscriptions list, so it is only seen if you scroll to it (rather than the other way around).

Removing a user from an Active RP list should only be able to be done by that user themselves or a moderator. Otherwise you start giving GMs moderator level powers, which was agreed earlier to be not a good idea.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

Emily is a Rogue Being with a deep grudge against the Keepers for killing her, and destroying her world. The spirits right now bolster her abilities to make her a sort of Pseudo-Keeper, but I am thinking that I could find someone later in Cyprus that could bond them permanently to her. Making them part of her, rather than just her being a host.

@KabenSaal

OK, that then. It's a little fuzzy on exactly what Emily is categorised as, then.

Anyway, Teknonick, if you want to interfere with another character using NPCs, you would need their permission (unless you have an already established bunch of NPCs which the character interfered with first).

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

The golems are NPCs, and are the inhabitants of Monolith. Lugubrious is in charge of them, so he posts on their behalf.

Emily is a Keeper, although a slightly different Keeper. She is technically not a Hero, just a not particularly evil Keeper with the goal of destroying all other Keepers.

We are not having hero characters here, too complicated. Hero NPCs, sure- if you want one to face your own Keeper, you can make one yourself (it will generally fall under the category of 'minor NPCs', which you can make and control), or you can ask someone else (such as a GM) to make a hero to face you.

Sanctuary

Yes they did. Mahz has been working hard on it. Follow the Dev Journal for updates.

@Mahz

No, that's not what I was looking for. While you have made it so we can have multiple lines per dot point, you have not allowed for any separation between dot points.

This:
[list]
[*]Line 1

[*]Line 2

[*]Line 3
[/list]
Still renders as:

• Line 1
• Line 2
• Line 3

That is, lacking any spacing.

Mahz's Dev Journal

Oh, sorry about that. Example: If you try to add in a bunch of spaces in front of this, it still lines up with this line below, right down here. But if you could add in line spaces (Let's pretend theses dashes are invisible and you can't see them) -Teknonick's Application --Appearance ---Descriptive words here... --Biography ---More descriptive words, yet again... It helps to make very condensed, yet still formatted and tidy posts.

@Teknonick

So you want indents, yes? I'd also like line breaks to exist between dot points in a list (or, at the very least, not get gobbled up).

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

That is a decent sized post, and it carries an appropriate amount of description too.

<Snipped quote by Mahz> This is kind of bugging me now. I got so used to seeing my username up there, now it kind of feels like I have no identity.

@Captain Jordan

Maybe only got to "You" if the screen size is too small?

@LegendBegins: Just shrunk the pagination buttons.

@Mahz

But they look ugly now. I like the rounded buttons.

Second, I managed to find the full-screen button while editing a post. When exiting fullscreen, however, I discovered that the body of that post had realigned to the center, shoving the avatar section aside. I reproduced it just to make sure it was not the resizing- it wasn't, just the fullscreen.

@BBeast

There's still this misalignment issue, on the PC version no less. Encountered by editing a post, going to fullscreen, then back again.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

As Reginaldus watched the dreams of his citizens at night, he noticed a disturbance in two separate villages. The first was odd, but not immediately threatening. He discovered that an earthquake had opened a large fissure in the town, stretching deep into the earth. Seeing that they were going to send a messenger the next day, Reginaldus planned to anonymously ask the civil engineers how to fix a large earthquake-caused fissure so they would be more prepared. Anonymous tip-offs were Reginaldus's main way of acting on what he saw in the dreams, aside from the weekly meetings with the High Court. The fissure seemed to have unsettled the town, at a cursory glance it seemed to be quite natural if just unusual. The second village, however, was much more worrisome. Early in the night, it was the buzz of the town that a mother and son had been taken away by some strange beast and that a group of men had gone off after the beast. Probing the mind of the farmer who actually saw the event, he managed to deduce that this beast was some horrifying mangled combination of flesh and limbs, although the details were blurred by fear and horror. Then, later in the night, 6 more souls joined the people sleeping in the village, and these confirmed the fears that something was terribly wrong. They were the men who had gone out to hunt down the beast, and they found that there were more of them in a grotesque grotto of flesh and death, which was much too dangerous and horrible for them to fight on their own. Reginaldus woke immediately after getting all information he could. Something horrible had emerged near that village, inside his domain. Some vile thing was threatening the security of his kingdom. He would have to send a military patrol out to gauge the situation more accurately, and thus determine how to eliminate this threat. Reginaldus could not allow such threats to unravel his brilliantly organised kingdom.

<Snipped quote by TheMaster99> true. Not sure what way that user had input his BBCode. It certainly isn't too much to ask them to fix it (we did), but if its the sort of thing that could easily be fixed for avoiding future bothers, then we figured we'd mention it. would it be functional / a good idea to have it so that when BBcode in a post isn't working right after you post it, you get a big red sign telling you so?

@Ellri

Or, better, warn of potential errors right before you post it. (At the moment, to detect errors, first you have to click preview, but that can only help you if you choose to check). Perhaps, when you click post reply and it senses errors, it gives a pop-up or something telling you it has potential errors and asking you "are you sure?" At the same time, it needs to be relatively unobtrusive. I don't want a big nasty sign shouting at me any time it thinks my BBCode is wonky.
