How do we do this, exactly? We could make some kind of vs role-play thread to ask about which worlds should get sub-forums between enough fans out there, if it helps. We might have to get some ground rules to make sure no side stomps the hell out of the other and kill any hope the matter has to be fun, though.
We have how many general suggestion threads? If the intended use for that subforum is still a distant dream, we could use that temporary.
A super long post.
Regardless, specify that's it's guild business only. What's this mean to all the random users? No more summoning someone for a chat session, or starting an RP..straight out business only. First post layout? {Introduction} {those involved} {Business last month} w/spoiler {Business this month} w/spoiler
It's just an idea. The layout certainly isn't perfect. The second post could be your plans for progressing the storyline, a small list of enemies, current storyline summaries from those in control of the worlds..
Can't figure out it's time to update the post? Set up a poll for 30/31 days. Solution to be settled upon from business last month in the poll. When the poll time is up, you've got your answer. Example: Current month: January Poll is set for: December business Next month? Current month: February Poll is set for: January business We can edit the poll, change the options, and reset it. I've seen it done in forums, so I'd imagine guilds at least has the same ability.
We have the Council of War area accessible for Crew members only, if that helps. You can use that if you wish to start a meeting.

Kind of a silly question: How many people in charge of those worlds are active and crew members?
Oh! A sort of not to-pressing issue concerning the negotiation zone..stuff. Can we set up our own rules? I've love to start a game for in-world vs. In-world(a test run really. We may never find enough players for another world vs. world. It seems too limiting to me, personally.), but I want to be able to know it'll end. Ridiculous, I know. You've got a match that's been frozen in time for the last year at least. I think taking a risk at scoring and such using a dice system might keep up the anticipation and interest.

That's what I don't recall, I only recall myself with the CHB areas and even then not very much without many of the other members. I'm not too good with tracking numbers I'll admit it. xp
You can if necessary, but keep the eras in mind for both sides. Remember, if its Original Timeline!-Canon for both, take the ages and dates and eras accordingly. If its In-group Timeline!-Canon(Or Alliance Timeline!-Canon as I like to call it, although some cases are back-to-back for the most part!) then basically you're allowed to go with 'Interquel' years or at least somewhere between the end of One Canon era to the progression leading to the next. (E.G you try an Alliance Timeline!-Potter-world vs. role-play against another World, then whether it be Faction vs Faction or World vs World, you gotta remember to play it smart!The CHB areas and the Area for the Dresden Files represented by the White Council are Sleeping Giants in most respects for a reason!)

I was going with a very basic Rav-'dor vs. Huf-'rin game, as we have a decent number of players on all four houses that'll even out (7 slytherin, 1 hufflepuff/ 3 ravenclaw-2 gryffindor) and that's just with students. We still have two-three ex-students (hufflepuff/ravenclaw/slytherin). If Silver isn't going show up anytime soon: 4 Slytherin 2 hufflepuff (Luigi/Thule) 3 Ravenclaws(Rowena/Evita/Iris) 3 Gryffindor
Some CHB members would be interesting, but they'd still have to dodge things thrown from the ground.

We could also do things by using those kinds of matches to introduce new worlds that may or may not get a list of their own if it helps.
Either way, it won't surprise me if Potter-world fans will find it insulting that a Boot Camp has more unity than they do even outside of life-or-death situations, and should be lucky that most CHB residents wouldn't rub it in really.

Not to rub stated facts in the Camps' raw wounds, but their last post was June 29th. When your Camp Half Blood player playing for Ravenclaw has gone AFK and cost you the game, unity wouldn't matter any longer. You abandoned the team, you traitorous Graecus. Even the Camp would be appalled by your behavior. That's hardly unity there. wink
I'm know there's a difference between on and off-field rivalry. The same would be applied to whole worlds I'd imagine. Grudge matches on-field would stay on the field. Smaller world=less intimidating obstacles when you first join. The best part? Anyone could set them up. I know next to nothing about Camp Halfblood, so I can't throw down the Gauntlet. Harry Potter? Hunger Games? Cheesy romance novels? Different story.

Just be glad that its no death-matches at work, generally speaking. Either way you might expect Louie or Theaken to be late in some cases.
For the most part yeah that applies, that applies to all worlds for various reasons, Round Table regards or not.(The Potter-world, CHB and the Dresden Files all have this in common to some degree or another, and even Dr. Who is also involved to an extent as well!Mainly to break up arguments at work if need be!)
I'll go in-depth if you want.

I'm still setting it up. I just have to figure out the die rolls involved. If it works out, we could copy it for the potential Videogame RP forum. It's not quite D&D, but it does give us a bit of leeway for creative attacks and such.

You do realize to factor in all the eras and timelines for both sides in question, right? Just making sure, because unless I see good reason for otherwise, you would not hear of me considering Original!-timeline Potter-world vs CHB or the Dresden Files for fights, just so you know. Skulduggery Pleasant with either set of timelines could work, just with Alliance Timeline, the Communications were all cut off and sometime after I read Dark Days we can expect a project to focus on re-establishing them soon enough.

..You have a dead game, and I'm thinking a test run, single time-line competition w/ the less active worlds included. Will CHB be playing quiditch? No. It's the Negotiation Zone. I've decided the game is Dodgeball. The camp would have the advantage of the knowledge, the wizards would have the advantage of wands. The die casts would bring up the result of attacks hitting or missing. That's it. Do not blow it out of proportion.
There is no Skulldiggery/dresden/ Artemis fowl vs. HP. It's all the current students in Hogwarts, plus a few nondescript individuals who don't actively participate in the DA class, Hogwarts, or even HP. It's a very SMALL time loop that affects nothing paramount. It's a test run. That's it. If it works out well to our benefit, Castlevania could run an in-game Castlevania vs. Castlevania challenge and include HP/AF/CHB/etc..on the basis everyone uses holy items, generic weapons, or stakes.
You can't even keep one of your own crew because Kingdom Hearts never panned out apparently. This would allow her randomly generated KH character to play Baseball, freeze-tag, quidditch..against another videogame company. I'm begging you; DO NOT THINK BIG & DEEP. This is a simple test run to see if smaller in-world negotiation games would bring back the inclination to start posting again.

That would make sense. You already got the 4 Houses ready, you got a set of Cabins from Boot Camp in mind?
I apologize for that.
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 5:06 pm
...Cabins? Heavens no. I'll settle for active users. From anywhere. Everywhere. It's dodgeball, and part of the fun is creating the circumstances to match the results. The game will eventually end when all players on one side are out.
Do wizards know Campers may be able to make the wind change the ball's direction? Do Campers know that wizards can use wandless magic?
Yes. It takes a certain aspect of RPing out. That of relying on another user to decide how you react. The user however, after seeing the results they've rolled can do anything as crazy or as serious as they want.

Some of the CHB residents were hinted to have read on the Potter-world if The Lightning Thief novel says anything, and Percy saw a copy of The Deathly Hallows on Display somewhere except I don't have the quote on me. sad Or the book for that matter.
Well all I got is a few cases on me for the Campers on my party, 3 of them from the golden womb of the High King's Aunt Aphy and only one of them has a confirmed profile. The guy with a Nyxling is MIA, and he and the Nyxling are Dresden Files(and Butcher Side for that matter) fans as well. The Cousin of the more-killable Father for the first 3 would have to sit this one out for reasons I will not go in-depth to, if he's gotta get involved directly its to make sure both sides are fighting fairly.(Square fights are Bullocks though so he's not holding any promises on that!)
We're gonna have to pretty much scrape the numbers available on the CHB residents' end among available members, because make no mistake, the Potter-world Magic-users will inevitably outnumber them. Just in case, you want Standard Powers only for both sides and whatever they can get, genetically aside from the Immortal Parent?
I'm just glad that Son of Neptune has the decency to flesh out and expand on the Bloodline systems actually.
There's a reason why I'm asking if its just Standard Powers only, which I'll explain in the spoiler tag!
Frank has the blood of a half-mortal of Poseidon in his veins from his mother's side of the family. Remember the 3 cases above I mentioned? They are not normal even by their half-siblings' standards as you can be willing to bet that its noted somewhere that their father's Ancestry tree includes Herakles/Hercules in their ranks, its said! In other words, their Father's ancestor is a Son of High King Zeus, who'd recycle his gene pool if you'd let him and even if you don't let him!
Of course something like this goes both ways, E.G if any of the Potter-world Magic school residents have Veela blood in their veins, they're allowed to capitalize on this if its accepted, anything with Goblin blood would tend to know when what works to more easily create things, Genetically 'Pure' Humans as far as bloodlines are concerned are generally balanced.
While 9 times out of 10 Blood 'Purity' is Horse$hit, the same isn't so clear-cut with Bloodlines, pretty much.
You get why I'm asking about this?
OOC: You could make a semi-joke on how this is loosely based on some kind of online game at work, like the Potter-world being loosely based on an online game that happened in the Future or something.

I was going to work on guild stuff..and then I discovered goggles. XD Now, I've spent almost a half hour playing with it.
