/mastermind
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, competitive 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
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.
Sponsored storyideas award bonus karma when claimed, and all adventure types
award some karma when claimed and completed.
Using this system is mandatory for any SR action that's more than just
ambience or involves supernatural elements.
When setting a mastermind for a storyidea, it is important to remember
to include references to the mastermind in the storyidea. Not doing so will
mean the mastermind will be stripped from it.
