You should be pummeling me for not figuring it out sooner -_-;

But anyway, you're welcome!

by Akai Kaji Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:06 am

You're doing your best for being the only mod! Haha Razz

by **The Ninja** Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:07 am

Not for long... *dramatic drumroll*

by Akai Kaji Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:07 am

Oh? A new mod? Goodie!

by Death's Kiss Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:15 am

who will it be?

by **The Ninja** Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:15 am

...We will see.

by Akai Kaji Mon Feb 18, 2013 12:16 am

Oh the suspense!

BTW: I think that the siggy thing should override "put your power in spoilers at the bottom" it is the same number of clicks away. if not, then I will just put my powers in a spoiler in my siggy. Razz

Could you guy set up a system for buying locations? I would really like to get one. It would be nice if it was around 200 to 300 points for a location so that people could easily be able to afford them and be able to make a bunch of different locations.

by **The Ninja** Mon Feb 18, 2013 10:00 pm

Yes, we are adding one, I just need to get around to it >.<; BTW something as significant as H.A.T. Labs will need to be a purchased in-game location.

This has nothing to do with the RP whatsoever...

But the map on the who's online page kiiiinda creeps me out.
Not entirely comfortable with the whole world knowing my near-exact location. *thankfully my computer's set location isn't actually my real one, but its still kinda creepy*

If there's a way to get rid of the google-maps thing... that'd be kinda nice.
If not, oh well, but the people here should probably be aware of it.

by Akai Kaji Tue Feb 19, 2013 7:43 pm

Oh my goodness... that is freaky... I didn't even know that was there! Thank heavens I'm not on the map correctly... but they still got it mostly right and that entirely freaks me out.

Gosh, if there's a way to get rid of that, I would, cause that's just not something I want out there for anyone and everyone to see!

by **The Ninja** Tue Feb 19, 2013 8:27 pm

I've been using Forumotion for years now and I wasn't even aware there was a Who's Online page ^_^ All right, I removed the map.

by Akai Kaji Tue Feb 19, 2013 8:45 pm

Thank you so much Cyber! That's great!

by Lady Noctia Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:14 pm

YAY. Good, good. Thanks~!!!

M'kay, so this is a long one (I apologize profusely for my longwindedness. If you've been on another forum with me before, it probably doesn't surprise you though ^_^)

Anywho, I was thinking about this yesterday. By the end of the roleplay I used to run, my char, Cluney was actually helping the forces of good. It was for his own selfish reasons, which is normal for a rogue, but I just kept thinking to myself, now, if Cluney were to come to really, I mean really care about someone else (Like as a son or daughter. He's over 80 guys, c'mon!), and if someone were to hurt that someone else, that would be very real cause for him to do an about face and go full force against the forces of evil, or good depending on the situation, making him a full hero or villain. I realized that this is a very real possibility in the course of every story. In one of the Batman serials, the Riddler actually became good for several issues. (I know this only because Riddler is my fave Batman villain ^_^)

Now, I completely understand the chaos that could possibly ensue if we just let everyone switch moral values willy nilly, but I was wondering if there might be some system we could work out for hero corruption and villain reformation through the natural course of the story. The idea I in particular had in mind was this. What if it couldn't be done until x number of RP posts? A high enough number that a character would have to be well immersed in their story before it could happen. It might also be good, in order to avoid arguments as to why someone suddenly has two villains/heros, to label them something like Reformed Villain and Fallen Hero. I don't think there should be any achievement points awarded for Heel Face Turns or Face Heel Turns as the case may be. I just think it would be good to have the option for those who want to progress their story in that way. Maybe even put a price on it. I dunno. ~shrug~ Anywho, that's my suggestion for the day. See you all around the forums. ^_^

by Titan Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:58 am

Yes, that is a very good suggestion. It makes sense. there might also be characters who think they are a hero, but are antihero. or think they are a villain, but are really a rogue.

My suggestion is a new alignment. I would suggest the anti-rogue. someone who doesn't care for themselves, but for someone else. I am struggling to pick an alignment for a new character, and this would work GREAT. the anti-rogue would be willing to do anything to protect this specific person, or benefit them in any way. they would side with neither side and both sides, much like a rogue, but they would not do it for themselves. I don't know if the name anti-rogue would fit, but its what I came up with.

by Syren Mon Feb 25, 2013 12:02 pm

Hm, that's cool, but the problem still remains that, if a villain finds themselves softening toward the side of good, they can't just change their alignment. How do you explain this guy you've been calling a villain, going around fighting the forces of evil in order to uphold justice?

by Titan Mon Feb 25, 2013 12:17 pm

Right, I agree with you, I was providing an entirely unrelated suggestion. :3

by Syren Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:31 pm

Ah, I see ^_^

by **The Ninja** Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:41 pm

I don't think "anti-rogue" would be the best title. The character you described could easily be a rogue. However, we could have a new alignment like you described if there was a suitable name for it. Anti-rogue would basically be true lawful versus the true chaotic which rogue is.

by Argent Mon Feb 25, 2013 9:35 pm

The only system I could think of is a request system for example say Cluney wants to turn Hero from rogue you could maybe submit to the City Moderator or someone else requesting them to review your alignment and linked them your recent rp posts that show your character has slowly shifted from Rogue to Hero. The Mod would then read your posts and reach a verdict if you've left your alignment and moved to a new one and send you a message telling you their verdict and why. This system could also prevent people from constantly shifting as a mod could simply rule they are just a rogue.

Now onto new business, I want the opinion on a New Rule that I would like to call the 48 Hour rule. In Carthage right now we have an RP freeze going on as several of us are involved in the HAT Labs scene and can't continue because the posting order rule. To summarize its Madhatter's turn in the posting order and he hasn't logged in since last Thursday and I am of the opinion that if your taking part in an RP you should give warning that you won't be on for a while and remove your character from a scene if possible. Now I don't mean to be picking on Hatter I'm sure he has a valid reason but its this situation that made me think of this.

The New Suggested rule, if you are involved in a scene and it is your turn in the posting order you have 48 hours to respond or else your turn is delayed and it is the next person's turn in the posting order. You may use your delayed turn anytime before your next turn comes up.

Or something like that, I'm open on the hour definition and the delayed turn amendment.
