Aye. Even when we permit players to change sheet layout, we do require them to cover everything... But then, we're known to be strict with sheets...
We know some people prefer "motivation" or somesuch over "personality".

Occasionally we've had the CS in first person, more often we have it in third. Our latest sheet templates are a mixture, they speak both to the character and to the player.

But it definitely varies what details an RP needs to have covered.

We also don't force people to stick exactly to our provided templates. Some might wish to add extra fields, after all.
Do you want simple, short sheets? long ones? First person? third person? Coated in cheese? On fire?

Are there components you feel must be there, or components that turn you away immediately?

GMs: How much work do you typically put into a CS template?
'tis nice to see a variety of views on this...
Aye, its a lot. But better than having to dig through 10,000 pages of a wiki. Or more.

The more unique the setting, the less massive the lore needs to be, funnily enough. More extensive details can be revealed/built with time. Pre-defining too much results in overload.
true.

But if you think there's a lot of lore for harry potter (of which there is quite a bit...), try looking at the extended Star Wars universe. There is a lot more there.

for our RP we're making a series of lore documents with our co-GMs, as the wiki, wookieepedia, tends to cover all eras, while our lore docs need only one.
@ScreenAcne It may have come across slightly unclear... How much lore, not in interest checks, so not the summaries.

As example, the RP we're currently building has multiple lore documents, with one of them being over 10 pages without being close to done.
For an RP, how much Lore would you feel is "too much"?

This would be outside the regular interest checks (which few would want a mountain of lore in). It can be outside the OoC thread too.

@SouffleGirl123 that system is on his wishlist, but it's troublesome to program.

Do you think you could consider adding a visual hider thingy to the list of muted users?

Most people don't care who has been muted and there's little benefit to the public notice about such. People banned elsewhere on the guild aren't announced, so it would kinda balance out affairs.
This is especially relevant for the permanent mutes.
