Board Thread:Suggestion Box/@comment-3058106-20150727214103

If you have not noticed yet, a few days ago I moved all connections to a brand new board called the Connection Requests. Basically, we noticed how all of the requests were disappearing into the archive of character forms and everyone was forgetting about the requests. Now, we have everything on a different board so it's easier to find.

One new thing about the titles is that you need to mention what is open in your request in the title. It helps people who are like, "Oh, I'd love to make a male character but I have no ideas. Oh look! Someone wants someone else to create an open character. Awesome bro."

Basically, you just put "Open Kid/Teen/YA/Adult/Elderly Male/Female". You just pick what it is. For example, if the request is a 14 year old male, you put (Open Teen Male). Now if you have multiple characters (probably three or more), you can simply put (Mutliple Open Options). Now, what about when the role(s) are all filled? You simply edit the title and say (Closed). If there are multiple requests and only one gets filled, you edit the title to just the one that is open.

Tbh, that may not work well since we're all lazy and forgetful and will probably never edit the titles. Also I think everyone can edit titles but I'm not sure. If not, just ask an admin or rollback and we'll gladly do the thing.

Another thing I've added is the AU Suggestions board. I also included a little form to fill out to post your AU suggestion. I think it's enough of what we need to add, but Mini or Tanni may think of other things. Don't be surprised if in the future there is more.

Now, how these suggestions are going to work is very simple. One person throws the idea out and it may not fully developed. Maybe you just have a little idea like "what if people could control elements and stuff? But not everyone can control an element though and those who can't are seen as the lower class." Maybe that's all you've got in your mind but you think it may be enough. Other users can start replying to the suggestion and adding in ideas. Like, maybe this world is set in a medieval type of time period so there's no modern technology. Someone could say that maybe it's not just the four natural elements - air, fire, water, and earth. Maybe there are like all these other actual elements that people can control. Basically it just keeps getting more and more involved.

Finally, when all the users are able to create an official plot and write it out, we will add it to a plot page. That page has not yet been created but I will be working on it. I may be using the little boxes on character/location pages where you just click show and it tells you everything you need to know about the plot. There will also probably be a tab with a list of characters involved with the certain plot so you know who all you can roleplay with.
