Multiple Avatars?

Its a rough concept only. Not even close to being usable yet. Having the option not to use such a system if it is ever built up, has to be there. Some don't want to use it. Some won't understand such, no matter how well-explained it is.

The Insidious Night

Post thrown in. Debated having some of the next day included. decided not to.

The Insidious Night

Thoraniel did not like drinking. No, she did not. Reminded her far too much of home. She did not like such reminders. Once their destination was sure, she decided not to exchange any false pleasantries. Instead, she ordered some food, ate it quickly, then retreated to the room she had bought. Not once did she lower her hood in public. She did not want to be recognized. No, she did not. Nor did she want to associate more than necessary with male swine like the one she had threatened before. She did not care for such, or for who made what weapon. So long as she got paid well and got to kill and otherwise distract herself from ancient memories, she did not care what her cause was.

Once up in the room, Thoraniel barred the door and closed the shutters. Only then did she feel moderately safe. As safe as she could in a town, which wasn’t very safe. Not safe at all. The sooner they left, the better. Only when absolutely sure no one could see, did she lower her hood. Her short, dirty-blonde hair reached about mid-way down her neck. It was not short compared to men, maybe, but short compared to most women. She liked it that length, as likeable as it was, reminding her of her father’s sand-colored hair. She did not like him. In fact, she hated him. No matter what she put it through, her hair eventually straightened back up. Another reminder of her elven ancestry, some said. Thoraniel wasn’t sure what to think about elves. On one hand, they were those she most resembled, with her half-pointed ears, but on the other, they had abandoned her, sent her to her hated father. All she had from them was her first name and one of her two surnames. Even her bow, she had gained through trade with other elves, not from any kin.

The elf who had made it had been kind to her. Probably because she had offered to keep other brigands away in return for it. A fair trade. No more. The threat of violence always helped encourage such kindness. Not that any elf would use a bow like it. Far too heavy draw. They didn’t have the muscle mass for it. That was one of the only advantages Thoraniel knew she had from her mixed ancestry. She had the muscle density of elves of the woods, but some of the muscle mass of the men of the fields. The only kind she thought might be able to draw it would be the dwarves of the mountains. Even her kind could not match their raw strength. Even if she could’ve gained their strength, she wouldn’t have wanted to. Dwarves were filthy, ugly creatures. She did not like them.

After once again making sure the room was secure, she took off her hooded cloak, pack and unlaced her boiled leather armor, placing it all right beside the bed. She unhooked a couple of knives and drew off her boots, placing the knives within easy reach in the bedding, and the boots right by her feet. Others might unpack more, but she did not. She did not trust this place to be safe. in fact, she was even skeptical to removing that much, but knew she would sleep better that way. The way it was now, she could get up and be ready to go in a matter minutes, leaving nothing behind. With a hand on each knife, she drifted off to an uneasy sleep and serious nightmares about the past.

Multiple Avatars?

such a list would probably not be compatible (character limit-wise or layout-wise) with the longer entries from any sheet, be they character or nation. It could not, say cover history, but it could certainly cover the entry for sex or say, type of gov't.
For NRPs: It could have fields like name, political system, land area, population, etc., even when it could not effectively use fields like history, culture, army structure, relations, etc.
For regular RPs: It could hold name/sex/species/age/alignment, even as fields like personality/history/justifications/etc. would not really be conveniently compatible.

The idea behind the table concept above was that the majority of such a table would be self-updating.
It would require a bit of tweaking to work right, as well as some thought from the utilizing GM. the result, we imagine, might be somewhat like table in this one, only without the last column. That table doesn't have even close to every detail from the character sheets, but it has the essential bits.

No, such a table system wouldn't be perfect, nor would it be without flaw. But it might be a useful tool for some RPs. If it works for some, it might eventually be improved so that it can work for more. Shooting an idea down because it might not initially work for one specific type of RP is kinda senseless. We often find ourselves supporting ideas we consider good, even when we see no use for the idea for anything we ourselves do.

The ability to delete old Pms

A feature like this has been suggested and is supported by Mahz. Not sure where it fits on the priority listing.

What's this doing so far down?

Multiple Avatars?

We started thinking of a massive project for CS threads yesterday... Not sure if it is even plausible...

Post 1, half-way auto-generated by GM.
Contains CS framework, where some default fields are defined.
Posts in said threadtab utilizing those fields (like name, age, sex, species, alignment) will then have the answer to said field show up in a table at the bottom of that first GM post.
GM could perhaps have a field of his/her own beside names in thread to tag them somehow, or to remove entries from the table.

Is that idea too massive to be workable? or could it have potential?

Star Wars: Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

We'll see if we can find solutions for such too...

No prisoner is going to be alone all that much.

Star Wars: Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

We discovered this mornin' that we'd put "cellblock 1" where it should've said "cellblock 2" in the start of the last IC post. It is fixed now.

Star Wars: Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

umm... the sweep was of cellblock 2, Kentsukan... Not of cellblock 1.
