Yeah, there isn't a setting where we can make it so that only we can see it
So I was thinking...
As to the organization of the roleplay areas and such so that you can have both the thread format as well as the one on one, 1x1x1, etc., you could do it where you have the basic thread format where members can make their characters from scratch and roleplay them and a separate section in creation for Original characters. Now, you could either have it where it is one certain original can go to each individual so that there aren't fifty Percy's running about OR you could have it as a free for all and have a camp made of Percy's.
In addition to this, the One on one's and such could be an extra feature where people can do anything with any characters, however those plot lines cannot transfer over into the threads so that there isn't character confusion OR you can let them transfer over if they wish and have multiple Percy's and Annabeth's and such running around. This decision would depend on whether you're going to allow multiple original characters or not

I am quite sure nobody would appreciate everybody getting confused from so many people having the same character and it would go bizarre in no time. The open for all can have only 1 character each and so on while the 1 on 1s can do it however they like it. The question now is, how many characters can each person have in the free for all roleplay?
That is up to you, here are some possible factors:
No limit:
Pros
*Members like it
*Most don't go above five
Cons
*Keeping track can get confusing
Having a limit:
Pros
*Keeps things organized
Cons
*Members don't like it and will pressure you to change it

And also should I make a separate folder for thread Character Creation?
Then why not have a limit only in the free for all, and not limit them only if it's a 1x1 and so on? It'll let the open for all organised and at the same time an 1x1 can't get that messed up, considering there are only two people in it. And there's another reason we have a 1x1x1. It's so that when we get out to do a quest there are the exact right amount of demigods on board. How about that?
Ok, sounds good. So what should the free for all limit be? One, two, three... If it's going to be above ten then there isn't really a point in making one
Maybe a limit of three? And maybe you can change the topic from character formatting to Character Creation? Then you just need to refer to the first page and then type out the character you have in mind.
Sooo, change the current character formatting thread to Character Creation for the free for all, and then whenever someone makes a one on one, 1x1x1, etc. Past that format onto the first post of their respective threads?
Ok, I'm on it! Should I also start making Places threads for free-for-all?
In free for alls? That's kind of the idea...
Haha, ok then. Making places and cabins...
Also, is this strictly Greek and Roman or are you going to allow members to make characters with gods of other cultures?

Ok, I'll add that as a rule (you'd be surprised how much that comes up). Also, are you allowing children for the maiden goddesses (i.e. Artemis, Hera...) and do you have a limit for how many Big Three demigods can be created?
You sure about that? You are head mod you know...
This is true, but I don't know if my rules and such match up to yours
Well, it really doesn't matter on what you're asking me about so like I said, entirely up to you =)
Ok if you say so. How about no demigod children of maiden goddesses, and there is no limit on big Three children
No, Athena is a special case. She was born from Zeus's thoughts and so her kids are born the same way, from her thoughts. So yes, she has just as many kids as all the other gods but she's still a maiden
Okey doke, adding that detail to the format also...
Lets see... I'm trying to remember if there's anything else...

Yeah, that happens, it's all good
Yeppers, also do you want a separate thread for creating Original characters so that they're easier to keep track of, or just mix them in with the regular thread?
Maybe make a thread to say who claimed this and that character and say which original charrie hasn't been taken.
Ok, and should members ask you before they make an original, just so we can cross it off the list?
Ok, adding CJ to places, as well as other places such as Sea of Monsters, Olympus, etc?
