Makeroom Make room
There are two ways to make a room, either making one next to wherever you are, or making one in some other part of the city. The location is the district in which it is found.
Locations are: EastBronx, ebx, WestBronx, wbx, SouthBronx, sbx, NortheasternBrooklyn, nebk, CentralBrooklyn, cbk, SouthwesternBrooklyn, swbk, LowerManhattan, lmn, MidtownManhattan, mtmn, UpperEastSideManhattan, uemn, UpperWestSideManhattan, uwmn, CentralPark, cpmn, NorthernManhattan, nmn, NortheasternQueens, neqn, SouthwesternQueens, swqn, SoutheasternQueens, seqn, NorthwesternQueens, nwqn, NortheasternStatenIsland, nesi, SouthwesternStatenIsland, swsi
You can also make rooms outside of NYC, to do that set the location to America, Mexico, Canada, SouthAmerica, Europe, Africa, Asia or Australia.
Section is either adjacent for a room next to the one you're in, or the part of that district. Sections are: N, E, S, W, NW, NE, SE, SW, C Representing the areas in each of the cardinal directions as well as the central area.
Type of room is what kind of room it is, valid types are: Club, restaurant, shop, street, alley, warehouse, commerical, house, park, tunnels, cafe, rooftop, basement, hospital, bank, air.
This sets the size of the room as well as other things such as indoors or outdoors, some also have special features such as recovery in a hospital.
Lastly you set if the room is public, private, or locked. Public rooms appear on the room list regardless of where you are, they're appropriate for things like shops, parks, museums, civic buildings. Private rooms only appear on the room list when you're quite close to them. They're appropriate for small stores, alleys, areas of parks or rooms in buildings.
Locked rooms are private but also have a lock on the door, they're appropriate for things like private offices or back rooms.
SRs can also set rooms to invisble to players, and SRs and time travelers can set the year of the room.
Houses are always made as locked private rooms. Once the room is made it appears on your myrooms list where it can be further edited.
Tips for Making Rooms
- Don't make a room unless there's a legitimate belief that people might want it for RP.
- Don't make a room public unless there's a reason for it being accessible from anywhere
- Don't make more than one room in the same building public.
- Name rooms logically, if a public street room is named 10th street South Bronx, an adjacent restaurant might be named Al's Steakhouse, 10th street, South Bronx.
This makes the grid much easier for people to navigate.
