Moderators' Chat

[[deleted user]]

If we are not doing an event soon then we should do a scenario. Like put a storm or a hurricane just to spice things up and make the group even more appealing to members.

[[deleted user]]

I know we probably should do something. It's just hard when you don't have all the key characters created (aka the resistance and city council members). Should we put a date on when they have to be made by? Also, should we make more claims since some of our newer members have been unable to make them? Like secretaries, heads of organizations, etc? Should we make a list of gangs somewhere to, and put in stuff for that?

I'm not sure a storm or hurricane would work so much. The magical barrier would likely keep out the worst of storms (not that they don't have some). Hmmmmm, what other types of things could we have? Like maybe something explodes or the wall shakes (not ready to come down, but foreshadowing)?

[[deleted user]]

A date? I thought it was a three-day-deadline prior claims?

Also, yes, I was going to suggest more claims too. I have a few ideas; we could do what you said, secretaries, heads of organizations, assistant secretary, defense director, politicians, resistance public media people et cetc

I think we should give claims for gangs too actually.



What about an earthquake?

[ӍдѕҞa]

I definitely think we should set a date. If that date isn't met, should we take down their claim and open it up so that newer members could have a chance of claiming??

hmmm, well I think we should make a list of gangs for sure, it would be interesting if we develop that concept more.

We could actually execute missions etc with Resistance members..?? idk

Yeah, okay. So what should be the date?

Okay. And we can have people add gangs if they come up with them?

Touche

I've missed that, honestly. I meant to do that sort of thing but I failed, so we need to figure out what to do now to make sure they get made.

Okay.

So, Diablor, Luscari Crime Family, the Diablor's Enemies, that group of people Devon's part of, Hecate's thieves . . . .

An earthquake would work. We'd need to think through what all would happen as a result. Buildings, particularly those in the Slums and Outskirts, would be prone to collapse, I'd think.

[ӍдѕҞa]

I have no clue... I don't even know what today is. Max the end of this month maybe??

For sure, especially if they have a good idea for it.

mhmm

[[deleted user]]

Maybe like two weeks?

Okay.

=)

[KT]

We should put out a group message telling everyone the time limit too

[[deleted user]]

I think we need to agree on the limit. And I think we should include that there are new claims and everything, so I think we should decide on the new ones first? And I think we should create a new claims topic and delete the "Lead the Government or the Resistance" topic.

[gabbu]

that would make sense since we're adding other stuff aside from council positions. i agree people should have their claims for council members finished in 2-3 weeks (that seems like enough time especially considering how long most of them have been claimed for).

[[deleted user]]

Exactly. Okay, so new claims ideas:

Government:

>>Maybe like a lower council that includes people whose jobs it is to come up with ideas in certain subjects and then their ideas are considered by the city council. So this would be like the Defense Director, Head of Police (who has to be Nikolai and Sadie's dad), etc.
>>Secretaries/aides for Upper and lower council members.

Resistance

>>Maybe people who are in charge of groups of agents?
>>propaganda people (though Lycus has a good hand in this/that's why he's important in the resistance)

Gangs

>> Leaders of various gangs that haven't been made. If name assigned already, include that? Any already created include them?
>>Gang spies
>>Special groups, idk what

Maybe we should include employee lists for different businesses particularly The Soul and the Dragon as well, but not require claims?

Also, I remember Tinath mentioning it a while back, but should we move the housing to its own folder(s)?

[KT]

I think housing should have its own folder, yeah. But there should be an application for it. Including whether it's in the Heart, the Slums, Outskirts, etc

[[deleted user]]

Okay. So maybe in the title of each place, there would be something to denote location, ie (HotC), (MCS), (O)?

[KT]

That sounds good

[[deleted user]]

So thoughts about the list of claims?

[KT]

I like it.

Maybe we should also have a hospital and hospital staff.

[Denver -writes poems drinks wine-]

Hey guys Im sorry I've been gone for a bit..my life has been super crazy. But Im back now

[[deleted user]]

Okay.

Maybe Head of the Hospital is on the lower council? And then we have a list of staff with the rest of staff?

Also, how many people on the Lower Council do you think? More or less than the Upper Council?

[gabbu]

i feel like the lower council will probably have more, as it's supposed to have positions that are a bit more specifc

[[deleted user]]

Okay. So like how many? Only positions I can think of at the moment are:

{1} Person in charge of the hospital
{2} Chief of the Police
{3} Defense Director
{4} Minister of agriculture?
{5} Minister of education?
{6} Minister of propaganda?
{7} Minister in charge of like population control/licensing?
{8} Minister of taxes?
{9} Event planner?
{10} Person in charge of public works?
{11} Person in charge of overseeing factories?
{12} Gang relations?

Thoughts?

Also, King-slayers for Devon's council-fanatic group?

[gabbu]

those are about what i had in mind as well. (also, i'm working on replying to our roleplay stuff right now i'm just being super slow about it)

[[deleted user]]

=) Neat! We need better names than what I've added though.

(Cool, it's fine! I can be slow, too, sometimes, so you know.)

[ӍдѕҞa]

Two-three weeks sounds good for the claims.

Idk about the time limit on faceclaims. Mainly cause life gets in the way and making characters takes time, plus it's hard to keep track of new claims to apply the time limit on.... so idk what to do about that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those look good. We can debate details on each but we can add requests for positions just in case we forget any??

Additionally, I think we should have something for big businesses so you can claim higher positions without having someone else take it. Plus it would get characters intermixed more ans involved.

Moving housing to their own folders would be great as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those sound good, names can be adjusted if you want xD
Can't think of anything else.... >~<

[[deleted user]]

Yeah.

Faceclaim timelimits would be hard to do.

~~

We need to come up with official-sounding names. I feel like we need to have this decided a little more before just to make sure we know what to tell people.

True

Kay

~~

Okay. So we need a name for the Diablor's opponents too. Maybe something like with angels or something?

[KT]

For the gang I agree that it should be something with Angels or Heaven.

[[deleted user]]

Kay

[ӍдѕҞa]

awesome!

For sure, definitely complicated. Maybe we should have a general discussion with members in the group???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For sure, for all of that. Wouldn't the person dealing with the public works be like Public Relations or something like that.
Not the point. We'd probably have to do some research of positions and stuff, including definitions I'm assuming..??

I'm guessing owners/creators of said businesses would mainly be in charge of their own.. correct or..??

Will we begin doing that when the message is sent?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For sure. Hmmmmmm.... I like that concept... Maybe.. Divinity (yes, starts with a d, I'm sorry, just a suggestion)

[[deleted user]]

=D

Maybe. We could just have no faceclaim time limits for now since we're already about to impose a different time limit.

--

Probably.

Definitely. I think we should have some posts to do with the cleaning of water also.

Yeah, probably.

I think so. We need to get everything organized first.

--

Sure

[ӍдѕҞa]

I'm definitely in favour of that, I'm sure others are as well xD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mhmmm

Cleaning of water?? But okay

Sounds like a plan. I'll begin working on mine once I am able to.

For sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

xD. You don't sound like you like it xD.

[[deleted user]]

=)
--
Water purification. It would be a powerful position actually since it basically controls the city's access to clean water.

Cool

=)

--

I'm cool with it. I suck at conveying appropriate levels of enthusiasm sometimes. XP

[ӍдѕҞa]

Ahhhh. Well I'd imagine there would be a ______-(can't think of term), the place where the water is purified and distributed around the city, I'd also imagine there would be a small building attached to the wall since the water source would come from out of the city... Right?? Idk. But both would most likely be mainly machine operated with a few workers watching out it etc??

Mhmm :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's especially difficult over the Internet, that's why I tend to use faces and stretch out certain words otherwise I might come off wrong >~<. I was just teasing though, my friend is generally the same way. So we're going with Divinities until something better is offered?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. The water source is underground and the water goes to the resevoir in the outskirts. Complex grating exists to keep it from being an escape route. There are definitely only a few workers doing it though

--

I'm that bad in person though. >.< okay. Works for me!

[ӍдѕҞa]

Ahhhh okay, sounds good. I think workers in this line would have to be very loyal to the Council, maybe some high candidates in the orphanage could be possibilities of some...?? Sounds pretty boring though xD. As a job, compared to assassins and stuff we have in the city xD. Sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lol, same with my friend for the most part, really disconcerting sometimes. However, I'm generally super expressive, depending on the person, it's why my parents like watching me watch movies >.<
But yeah xD
Awesome!
So for gangs, there would be the leader, second hand man, some 'rats/spies', and depending on their businesses there would be different positions given to gang members... Right?

[[deleted user]]

Just going to pop in and apologize for my delay, I've been lazy. And hey, exams suck.

Those claims are pretty great, but for the gang, instead of choosing the name and theme ourselves let's give the members a chance. Just put up a lot of options and give them to vote so that they can feel as though they're participating too. It'll be fun for them.


I agree with Maska, houses/apartments should be separated.

[Denver -writes poems drinks wine-]

I agree that a vote for gang name would be good! It gives the other members a chance to have their voice heard too(:

[[deleted user]]

I think Maska has a point about people from the orphanage. Maybe we should have the head of the orphanage on the lower council too? Probably boring, but also commands a good amount of power.

So, some of the gang names are set just because of how informally we were doing it before. I feel like we'll need descriptions of the gangs too. So maybe we do a gang name/idea suggestion thing for future gangs/groups but figure out the names for the ones involved with our characters already? So maybe it would be like here are the existing gangs and info about them but say that we're looking for like two or three more, and that they get to decide the names and premise of the gangs by suggesting in the topic and then voting once the poll is created?

That sounds about right in terms of positions, Maska.

[KT]

I think that'd be a good idea, the gangs thing, but you know there will be people jumping to make one just so they can make a character to lead it.

[[deleted user]]

There will be. The preexisting ones charries are in will have to stay, but I think that after the two or three everybody will be able to submit and vote on names and ideas for, we probably ought to work on filling those up as opposed to the creation of more.

[ӍдѕҞa]

That's an awesome idea. Hopefully members will contribute but it would be great to give them that choice etc.

Mhmmm. There should be a head for the orphanage but they'll obviously need more people to supervise and make decisions so there would be positions like that as well...

Mhmmm. Okay. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should we raise discussion on members who do not contribute at all? ...?? Like have joined but have not even commented or anything?? Idk

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, it would.

Definitely. I agree with that?

~~

Maybe. Like discuss what?

~~

So do we want to do character chats and such? Also, should we have a "Resistance Chat" and a "City Council Chat" specifically for the function of working on plans for what they'll do and such?

[KT]

I think it'd be a good idea for the Resistance and City Council chats. Allowed everyone to plot

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. Okay. I'll do that. Should we do a character chat?

Okay like I get character chats are where the people of the group can "talk" with the characters, but how do they work exactly?

[ӍдѕҞa]

For sure. The chat concept is good though should be mentioned in the message so members are aware of its function.

Mhmmmm. I'd imagine though a lot of these positions, business based for sure, will be just random side characters for the most part....

~~~~~~

Idk like some way to influence more of their activity in the group...?

~~~~~~~

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. Should I make a chat folder then and move the existing chat thread too? Also, should we have chats for the various gangs?

And should gangs have a folder for locations, too, like the city council and resistance do?

--

So how? A lot vote on the polls and such but not much else. Should someone make like a "Getting Started" topic?

--

[ӍдѕҞa]

That would be a good idea, it would be more organized and easy for people to get to...

Yeah, for sure, maybe. I'd imagine gangs old a lot of influence so it would make sense if they have their own folder where their main buildings are located. Right?

~~~~~~~~~~

I have no idea. I know some groups have put a time limit on getting a character done and accepted, as well as a few RP posts just to kick start members into being a little active.... Idk

Hmmmm... *shrugs*. Might be a good idea.

[[deleted user]]

Okay.

I'm guessing just a "Gangs" folder and not each getting its own. Maybe other major hideouts would be good, but money-laundering businesses go into the folder of the city's sections or the gangs folder?

--

I don't want to kick out inactive groups, but I do think we need a way to encourage people to be active.

--

So for the Residences folder, we were going to have an application? What should that be?

[ӍдѕҞa]

Yeah, keep it simple. We'd just add the name of the gang to signify which gang the place is for. Hmmm idk, I think, for example that the Diablor dry cleaning and club would be just put into the city but like hide outs and places they'd stash their 'goods' would be in that folder... ??

~~~~~~~~~~~

*nods* I am in agreement with that, but I never said they'd be kicked out. Most people generally work well with a 'due date' it pushes them to actually get working or procrastinate until last second but get it done kinda thing? Idk a suggestion >~<. I just want people involved and enjoying the group more.

But for sure we do...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Application?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, that makes sense to me.

--

Some groups that put the time limit on it expel people from the group for being too inactive. I'm against expelling them. I'm all for a plan not involving kicking out inactive members though.

--

Like to have homes made. I think it was agreed there'd be one but not on what it would be.

[ӍдѕҞa]

Awesome! xD wasn't so sure I was explaining it correctly.

~~~~~~~

I am aware. My statement still stays but understandable. I am not sure how to really intrigue people into becoming more active.

~~~~~~~~

I don't recall seeing that.... *shrugs*. So I'm not really sure. I remember the discussion on moving homes into their own folders.. >.<

[[deleted user]]

=) I think you did.

--

Me neither. . . .

--

I think it was a quick part of the discussion but generally agreed on?
