Hello ladies,
there are several things I want to do to change our site a little, some are old issues, some are new. So here they are:
Things I want to change:
1, Dorms
Last year I mentioned this and held a vote. Should I eliminate the individual dorm boards? The vote said no, mostly everyone liked having their very own board with their character's and room mate's name on it.
I bring it up again because I don't have enough time to organize the boards and keep track of the entire student body. It's difficult to organize alone. More importantly, many of our members go inactive throughout the year, it isn't fair to other players if their roomie goes inactive. It doesn't help either if both roomies are inactive, then a whole dorm is just sitting there, a dead board.
I want to leave the dorm boards, so you'd still have a place to post and have your character be in their dorm, but the individual sub boards (the numbered rooms themselves) will be gone. I also want to take away the room mate section of the profile.
This way it eliminates my responsibility to organize the dorms, and also leaves it open for people to choose their room mates, and possibly switch roomies if someone becomes inactive. Everyone could of course still have dorms and room mates, there just would be no more specific boards or lists specifying them. It frees it up for people to decide if they want roomies or not and who the roomie is.
(maybe still have to be the same year in school, but that may or may not stay)
2. The maid system.
Similar to eliminating official dorms and allowing everyone to choose their own. I want to get rid of the maid system. Miator girls could still be maids, but it wouldn't be anything officially listed anywhere anymore, it would just be something you would work out in plot with the upper class pair. In the same way roomies would be done in plot with whoever you wanted.
3. Character templates.
Sooner rather than later I want to create multiple templates. This is the application people use to join the rp. I want to make a separate template for each school and one for school staff. I think it would make it easier for people to expand on their character based on which school they attend. I also want to add sectiosn to it to make it easier for profile updates each year. Such as in the History, it might read something like this:
History:
Before attending Astraea:
1st year:
2nd year:
3rd year:
and so on, transferring students would just write "n/a" for any year before their starting year at school, and n/a (or just blank) for any years they had not yet played out. At the end of each year, they can just write a little blip about what happened in that year that was important to their character in a pre-made space. I think it would make it less confusing. Of course though-this would make history a requirement when joining, since everyone has to write in a history after their first year of play on site anyway.
I would also add school- specific sections, like spica would have a section about sports, lulim about clubs, and maybe even add an over all "was your girl engaged before attending astraea?" as many girls are.
I might think of more changes I want to make, but I'm running out of time. What do you think of these? Feel free to add your own idea or give any opinions you have.
Thankee! :3
