Or he could simply get locked up.

perhaps with the door bricked up so that there's only a narrow slot to put food in through.

exact frequency and such of the contest is naturally something that needs both consideration and thought. fitting it into the schedule is certainly also something the contest staff is far better suited at. Even if it is just deciding that it is put in parallel.

we could at least help with such a contest. designing a good CS template is hard, as is judging them. @RomanAria

contest idea - CS contest

so... in between writing for an NRP, we thought of a nice contest of sorts that could in theory work well on this forum...

a CS writing contest.

Basic premise of it is that someone provides a CS template, and then whomever desires to participate writes a CS based on it. Then the people who feel like it, can judge the sheets based on a variety of parameters (lingual quality, level of detail, Mary sue testing, feeling of the character being "alive", etc...)

each round could have different templates (and maybe setting, if applicable?). A useful effect we imagine of such a contest is that prospective GMs can use to figure out how they want their CS templates to be, how to avoid pit traps and such in it.

Another concept:

CS design contest - design the "best" template.

Thoughts about these concepts?

hmm... the email stuff we can't answer much for, as we can't see ourselves using it... However, it might also be a bit much with an email for each time there's activity in a thread with email notifications enabled. At least if it is a group RP. on a 1x1 it might be different.

one level we could see some desiring to use for email notification is this:
- on @mention
- on new IC posts

Having all the options always visible might also be a bit cluttery... especially for mobile users... maybe have a separate page or somesuch for "alter subscription notification levels"?

Mahz's Dev Journal

that sounds like an excellent way of doing it.

Later on it might be useful to get means for sorting the archived non-RP threads, but that's low priority in our minds. Perhaps it could use a future version of the tag system?

Mahz's Dev Journal

it would be nice to have an archive as well as muted subscriptions, @Mahz. We dug up (most of) the RPs we've been in since the Guildfall to have access to them, but most of those we would not desire to have on the "front page" of our subscriptions, even as we want them available...

Now to go digging through the player base to find your hidden account... [insert mandatory galaxy-wide grin]

that man sure ain't an apprentice smith if it is his work stored on the shelves in the background...

we're starting to hash out some more of Urd's family... It such a bother with the life span parameters and early-started families... with Urd taken into account, we've got four generations of Raudhfells to cover...

we've been trying to find decent images for the members of House Raudhfell...

Echo claims this looks like your blacksmith, @Klomster?

@kapuchu It is not possible yet, but it is planned to make it so that you can choose the notification level of subscriptions.

Mahz's Dev Journal

the hardest part of having a 4th tab is how to fit it into the subscriptions page.

the bit about naming it (as each RP might have its own use for it) is simpler. It could be renamable, but still be filed as the same thing in the system, where the label is simply a label, rather than hard-coded into the URL.
