DISCUSSION: RUMORS - CLOSED Posted on April 9, 2023 at 06:47:20 PM by loveinspired
Hello everyone!
We've got another discussion topic to put before you all today! This time, we'd like to take a look at the suggestion made by one of our very own! Six suggested a rumor board that players could use to help flesh out and develop a character's reputation on the islands. We thought this was a great idea, and it keeps popping up, so we've taken a look at it and made a few tweaks. Now we'd like to hear your feedback!
A new channel in our discord would be created called 'Character Rumors'
Players would be able to suggest rumors about an active player's character (including their own), via this channel. These rumors MUST follow all site rules, with all sensitive content being contained in spoiler tags ( which are ||, placed before and after the text ) with appropriate content warnings.
To do so, players would fill out the following short form and post it in the channel:
Which character is starting the rumor?
Which character is the rumor about?
Please tag this character's player: (using @ tags)
What is the rumor?
Before this rumor can be used by characters, the player of the rumor's target must respond via reaction. There will be four different reactions available:
DNU - Do not use. Either the player is uncomfortable with, or does not approve of this rumor. Rumors marked with this symbol will be deleted by moderators.
Green checkmark - For rumors that are true and approved to be spread
Yellow checkmark - For rumors that are false but still approved to be spread
White checkmark - For rumors that are: neither true nor false, cannot be confirmed, or don't have an answer, but are all still approved to be spread
These rumors are encouraged to be used in threads. The rumors board should not take the place of any in-character threads.
We bring this forward as a discussion topic for two main reasons. First, we want to make sure that this sort of system would work for everyone. Secondly, we want to gauge interest. We do not want this to become the sort of feature that is only used once in a blue moon, so we have a couple of questions for you.
1. Do you think this is a feature you will use?
2. What are your thoughts on the current plan? Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
As always, we very much appreciate hearing from all of you! Replies:
