Storyidea

Syntax: storyidea list/info/create/type/permissions/description/npcs/lore/secrets

Syntax: storyidea submit/claim/unclaim/approvelock/sponsor/deny/territory/makeplot

This command allows anyone to submit an idea for a story, the idea might be about their PC, it might be something they want to do with their SR, or might just be a thing they thought of.

To create a storyidea simply use storyidea create, then storyidea list to see it's number, from then you can fill out the fields. The description/npcs/and lore fields are mandatory, if npcs and lore don't apply, simply put 'None' in their fields.

The type can be adventure, joint, competative if you want to run an adventure. Quest or personal for a personal, targeted story. Or other in all other cases.

The description can be as short of long as you'd like, and contain IC and OOC info, but keep in mind it's good to give some creative freedom to the SR who'll be running the story.

The secrets field will not be seen by anyone until it's claimed, although staff can look at if if they want to. Staff may edit a storyidea before approving it, usually in cases where there's only one or two small issues with it.

The permissions filed allows a player submitting a personal idea type to select which SRs will be able to claim it, and can be edited even after the storyidea is approved.

Whoever submits an idea has 24 hours after it is approved where only they will be able to claim it. You can also unclaim a plot, allowing someone else to claim it.

There are several types of approval, aside from normal approval there's also timed approval, this is an automatic approval that happens if a storyidea hasn't been dealt with in 5 days, it allows for the possibility of the staff being somehow unable to do their jobs, sponsored means it's been approved and the staff want it run for whatever reason, like it being part of a staff story. Locked means it's been approved but isn't available for claiming yet. This may be because of an overabundance of similar plots for instance.

Finally, using storyidea makeplot allows you to turn a story idea you've claimed into a full blown plot, with some of the information that was in the storyidea put on. You would still need to add more information, but it's a quick and easy way to change storyideas into plots. </p> <p class='vspace'>Sponsored storyideas award bonus karma when claimed, and all adventure types award some karma when claimed and completed. </p> <p class='vspace'>Using this system is mandatory for any SR action that's more than just ambience or involves supernatural elements. </p> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div id="footer"> <!--PageFooterFmt--> <!--/PageFooterFmt--> </div> </div> <!--HTMLFooter--> </body> </html>
