Calendar of Events Forum Name

Post by Rotku »

A Poll, as requested by Nalo in this thread. Please read that thread for all discussion.

To breifly sum it up, with the change in purpose of the Calendar of Events (refered to as CoE from this point onwards) forum some people believe that it's name no longer reflexs its purpose. To accomidate to this thought, this poll will run for 3 days (because if it was any longer I'd forget all about it...) and will result in the name to be changed accordingly (or not changed).

Below is the current guidelines for the forum. [Please note, these are not going to be changed currently, they are just posted so people are aware of what the new name needs to reflect]
Cast_No_Shadow wrote:This forum is here to assist both DMs and Players in finding and forming regular groups. DM's starting new campaigns, or even players wishing to start up a group of like minded play times and vaugly compatible IC stuff are able to post here.

Below is a brief description of how exactly this forum will operate:
:arrow: An Annoucement will be made containing an index to all major threads, and a brief description of what is contained in them. This will be kept up to date by the forum moderators and locked to prevent spam.

:arrow: Each Server is allowed a Stickied thread containing a brief blurb about their server, and their DMed times.

:arrow: Each formed Player Group will also have a Stickied thread, inwhich they are able to discuss organisation of further games, recruitment of new members, and other OOC things.

:arrow: General posts are to be used for DMs and/or Players wishing to start groups, or looking for groups to join.

Was going to make a suggestion to have it named "ALFA's IC Organizations & Scheduled Campaigns/Events" in the other thread, but was too lazy to post it :p

Hmf, maybe that's a bit too long. Might wanna remove "ALFA's" and leave it as "IC Organizations & Scheduled Campaigns/Events". Anyway, don't matter to me.

Guilds is the word that will catch the eye of Newly joined ALFAns IMO.

Although they all basically mean the same thing it's the title with the word Guilds in it that would likely having N00bs clicking on it to have a see before making their 1st PC perhaps.

Secret Guild Factions

Post by Scorpion Ninja »

I think the secret guild factions should be only accessible by members of the guild just like only DM's have access to the DM Boards.

Sent the request in about 2 weeks ago. Cast No Shadows is busy with real life right now, so it might be taking a while.

Sorry about the delay.

Hi,
If you don't make the boards for the secret guild factions only available to guild members you will have good factions reading about secret evil factions stuff which the good factions will then use as Meta Info.

What Amar said - this isn't a place to post Meta information. Well, atleast game affecting meta info. Just a place for players to find like-minded players/DMs.

Do we need two threads for this?

Guilds/Player Organizations ... isn't that redundant?

I don't think there's one option that covers the spectrum.

You've got player groups (ie parties)
You've got player organizations (ie guilds)
You've got campaigns (ie events)

Yeah? Get those three in one line and be done with it before Vendrin assaults this thread too. :lol:
