Aerowind Report post Posted August 15, 2005 There's a Roleplaying Channel?!?!?!?!?!?! It's a dream come true!!!! and now that I am a newb helper no longer I can spend constant hours in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaneMuffin Report post Posted August 15, 2005 RP channel is an awesome idea, maybe someone should acctually make it a moderated channel? I mean if you broadcast it there is gonna be alot of people in there who abuse it. Might be a better idea to choose a more private channel and only use word of mouth to let people know about it. Or, promote specific people to mod that channel specifically. Great idea though I am gonna check it out JaneMuffin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would drive them insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would drive them insane. 188170[/snapback] not real mods, channel mods, as something different. like all the player reps could be set as channel mod of a channel where they can do meetings, that sort of thing these would not be real mods as we currently know them.

It's a possibility, worth suggesting to the powers that be, can't guarantee it will get approved though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a possibility, worth suggesting to the powers that be, can't guarantee it will get approved though. 188187[/snapback] (yes, aislinn would know most of this stuff, but i'm giving a more expanded version for other readers) really, they'd only need two, no, three commands. a kick command, which unlike the real mod version does not have a number, it won't lock them anywhere, just keep them out for 5 min or whatever, and a ban/unban command (think denoob) for a more permenant solution. neither of these options should be that hard to be coded, as there are similar things in place already. and once you have something like this, there's no reason you can't have trusted people for certain other channels watching them (esp if there's channels that are used by storylines, mapmakers, bugtesting, etc, for discussion with the general populace. those people would generally be able to be given channel mod) these people would have to be known to the mods, but nothing more than that. no need for a chat for them or anything; either they're active on the channel (and you can then PM them) or they aren't this would also decrease the workload of the mods/NHs a little (in contrast to the increase because of multi-channel chat coming) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soldus Report post Posted August 16, 2005 All they need is a local mute that works ONLY on that specific channel. That can't hurt much imo. So yes, that should be thought about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi Report post Posted August 20, 2005 Well Here i go, As I am going to be producing Role Playing events as soon as i possibly can for us. I am willing to help the NH's/mods to keep the "newbs" out of these. For everyones Knowlege of these events, here are the Rules of them: Rules of Role Play: 1. All Out Of Character chat is to be put in (( )) brackets. Eg. Talking about computers and email is OOC, on the contrast ICC(in character chat) would consist of Faeries and Magicians. 2. All modern jargon are prohibbited. Eg. Leet Speek, puns, abbreviations, and anything related to modern events is Prohibbited and will get you in trouble(if the NH/mods agree on these rules ofcourse.) 3. Alternate names Must be used as names in the Midevil times were not Woot_hi or VampiresWill(sorry, just an example). Good names can be as follows: Humans: Devrah Liioness Farel Pendar Fayed Maggie ect Elves Arjion Windslash Arynne Halfmoon Luincale Mirluin Artemtus ect Dwarven Kin Galim Silvia Durin Silberbart Mugarosch Wergenaxe ect 4. If you wish to hold a Role Playing event, i would apreciate it if you could either Send it past a Mod or Me to check for correct Role Play. 5. These Role Play events will have you running around finding items and so forth, if you do not like it, do not participate. 6. It is not Nessicary to say your name outloud, you can keep it secret if you are say role playing a theif, vagabond, or murderer. Allthough you can give out flase pretenses to spice up Role Play 7. Forced Role Play is not allowed. If the other character is a willing participant then that is fine. But saying something like "soandso Kills soandso" is strictly forbidden. 8. You can role Play dieing without dieing, in this sense if you get killed, dont "resurect" that Character without a valid reason. 9. Trading if happens during a quest, Will be roleplayed. for example: Devrah Liioness hands over a Short sword Eliron counts out some gold coins and hands them to Devrah 10. When a new person enters the area, you explain yourself to them in OOC, EG. ((Arynne Halfmoon is tall, has flowing blue hair and is striking for her dull complextion)) 11. A private message is called a Dove or Messenger not a PM. Guild Rules: 1. Guilds will be renamed from their Original names if they attend. Apropriate Guild names can be: The Synode The Knights of Kallahorn The Town Guard The Order of the Grey Light ect 2. If you Role Play a Knight, act, dress, and even speak like one. Be honorfull and Chivalrous in your deeds. These are the Rules for My events. If you wish to complain or wish to add to this list, feel free to pm me.

Leet Speek, puns, abbreviations, and anything related to modern events is Prohibbited and will get you in trouble(if the NH/mods agree on these rules ofcourse.) If you could define "will get you in trouble" for me, that would be great lol. Geesh, I wish I could put some of these rules into the game rules (Aislinn is a very nice elven name *sticks nose in air and walks away...*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is ofcourse after warnings as every mute is..But as i said, if anyone would like to Give me a well thought out response or Suggestion to change/add/or a quest. Im totally open to all and any Doves. Yours in Role Play, ~*Noko*~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted August 20, 2005 Very nice event Yoshi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi Report post Posted August 20, 2005 Glad people liked it, To clear things up: This was a Warm up, a learning curve so to say, for people to understand the type of role playing that will be going on in these Events. I notcied some chaos at first but it calmed down mostly (I love you Soldus and Aislinn ^^). I did notice some Pictures and Smily's were being used. If you want to use them, emote them as such: Gabon smiles. - instead of- The next event will be held in 2 days, so be sure to check back that day for the time. ~*Noko*~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
