Mod Management post
HEY GUYS, need y'all to weigh in on SIX things. (As well as keep tagging).
1. Chats. Due to the general sporadic-ness of the mods' schedules, sometimes we start chats all over the place, so we were talking about setting aside two days/times a week where we make sure we always ALWAYS make sure at least someone starts the chat. (Between four mods and a bunch of other people, we should be able to manage that, right?)
So my question is this: what two days a week (with times) are your best RPing days? The ones where it's easiest to get into chat and you typically have the most time to fiddle around and be goofy. (A note, if the two days we pick do not suit you, they will NOT be the only days--we try to do chat almost every night if we can, and as early as possible, for the early-timezone peoples. They'll just be the two days we try for when everyone's hit with school busies at once or something, just to keep the place lively until we break through the Busy).
2. Update to the Rules Check 'em out. Added a bit, clarified a bit, after the chat thing is decided, we'll actually pop the chat days in there, under the chat one. Slight change to the character limit that you'll all probably be happy with. Limit has been raised, and no limits to number from a canon, just the closeness limit. Last rule has been added in light of all the mad-crazy love after the RP_anon_meme, because it made me realize how awesome a dynamic we've got going here, and we should always have a little rule-thing reminding us of why we're all here. <3
Is all this kosher with you? Please state y/n + anything you think might need discussion and change or to be added.
3. Tags! LJ TAG YOUR POSTS, PLEASE. ZOMG GUYS, SRSLY. We'll behead you if you don't tag your posts! Stacy will give you an anal probe! It will be terrible. D=
For those who are kinda unfamiliar with lj (since I know a few our newest players are semi-new to LJ RPing) and/or confused as hell because because we use the term "tag" also to mean "post," I mean the little LJ clicky-box version, where it says all the character's names at the bottom of the post and if you click on the little "tag" square in a post (it's next to the edit one) you can pick a bunch of names from the list.
For plot and location, those are aaaall predone and we pop the first one in so it starts to show up when a location first appears or a plot first start. Names are always added in the first podpop the character shows in, so always always go by the list rather than writing something in since sometimes you wind up with doubles (or write it in but just make sure you spell it right). Just make sure y'all tag your character on each post. We now have too many characters really for the mods to keep up and make sure all of you are tagged in (like 60+ characters now), and we REALLY do tend to scout back and read stuff for characters for plot purposes. So right now, I'd like to ask everyone (at least when you have a moment) to go back and make sure you're posts are tagged and respond here with "Tagged for [character] and [character]!" or sommat.
Then from here on out TAG YOUR POSTS OR SAPHIE WILL EAT YOUR FACE. NOM. DELICIOUS FACES.
(Srsly, tho, if you don't, s'okay. I forget a lot too. Just try to keep up with it, if'n you can. Makes it easier).
4. App page tweaked! Some new stuff added, history part tweaked to make it easier on everyone. Is okay? y / n
5. WANTED PAGE. Go forth! Comment! Request for canon-mates.
6. Journal-based RP. Is anyone perhaps interested in turning character journals into the characters' actual journals? I was thinking perhaps that Brainy, Billy, and the tech guys can make everyone comm-rings (since they need comms) but also maybe limited omnicoms. So people have the comm rings for typical instant communication over distances, but can keep written journals other characters can read in their omnicoms. I don't want that to take over the game, though, as I LIKE having the game largely centralized, and don't want to have to update add/drop lists, but it might add a bit of flavor since this is an atmosphere where it would make sense to have them. Is anyone interested in it? Fellow mods, good for the game? Bad for the game? Anyone horribly opposed? (I'd want it to be optional, obviously).
So. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. <--comment!
