Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2003 1:05 am Post subject: Orders - Ideas, wants, needs? |
|
|
Hey people! I've taken up the responsibility of writing up the proposals for Orders and how they will work, so I thought I would drop by and say hello. So what I would like to hear from those that are interested in running and/or being a part of an order is:
-What do you want out of being in an order?
-What are some ideas for things that you would like to see?
-Is there anything that you feel is absolutely needed in the way orders will work?
Some things I don't want to hear are:
-Imbalancing bonuses given to the members of a particular order
-How Orders (clans, etc.) worked in other games
Please post your ideas here! While you can e-mail me with suggestions and questions, I would rather that they get posted here instead of having my in box crammed full of messages. Ideas posted here may spur other ideas. I'm a board monkey by nature, and was even an official one in the past! So while I may not post constantly like our fearless leader, rest assured that I AM reading.
Also of note: Orders will likely not take off for some time to come, as they will be expensive to set up, and systems with much higher priority need to be finished and debugged first. |

Might be fun to have something similar to an Actor's Guild for performers... perhaps if you belong to one faction you cannot perform on stage in a rival city. Or maybe have to gain permission from local factors to perform certain things in their localities?

Actors guild might definately be an option for one, if there's the member and financial support behind one I don't see why it wouldn't be accepted. Despite the fact we only have three orders listed here currently, they're all extremely different from each other...and I'd like to keep the openess for each order's "mission" there.
Also, you don't have to be aiming to be officially sanctioned in the game to create a folder here. |

Would it be possible to have verbs and/or fluff abilities? Example being a special handshake for members of an order. |

Hmmm...a greeting might be a possibility. As for verbs and fluffy abilities, we'll see how things go. |

It will likely be quite a while before any sort of official order system is put in place, That may even hold true after we move to the new DB too, but getting things ready now certainly can't hurt. |

Greetings Draxx,
Well, there are a ton of ideas percolating, but my first to lob out there is some in game meeting place (building) which only members wearing a certain item can get into... such as a badge or id card or even a tattoo.
This way you dont have to keep a running DB with player names in it that you have to update all the time.
This might lead to some creative roleplaying if a non-member were to steal the membership id card/badge and "sneak" into the headquarters to spy or something.
More ideas to come....

I too would love this and I know Rikiar and probably Roselie would revel in creating a dungeon inspired dwelling.

What needs to be done here is official support for Orders as a whole, of which the Dungeon would be one. Unfortunately, I don't think Roselie probably has the time to take on Orders as a whole, since she is doing Weddings. However, I don't see any other groups emerging with a strong backing at the moment, so I also can't foresee how much demand the staffer with Orders on their plate would have.

I'd like to see different craft guilds pop up. Fishermen's Guild. Armorer's Guild. Fletcher's Guild. Inventors Guild. Etc. Basically minor groups of people with like-minded interests that can get together and tell their stories of how they almost got that 10 foot long dwarf galu in their grandma's backyard pond. _________________ Niefl talkin to Rose about his 'relationship' with Mickey

Just wondering how Orders were going. I know there aren't a lot of orders, however, Crimson Rose has been around quite a few years and some of us were wondering about getting a house, or a couple rooms even.

would be nice to have an order treasury storage system
secret handshakes
order badges /nametags
order help alert similar to the bell when one member needs help they can ring for assistance from other members
ability to produce order newspapers and order stands _________________ «The gods made dregonard.» |

Actually, this came up amongst a couple GMs just a couple weeks ago. I was supposed to do a write-up of ideas for Order stuff and submit them to Trevor... well, a good while back... and it just never cemented. I've obviously got my hands full of Justice and troopers at the moment, but I've still got a fair recollection of what we (that being the GMs who collaborated at the meeting some two years or so ago) decided on, so I'm still up for cranking it out in some timely fashion. _________________ Mickey Brunner
