Faction Status Thread

[Athenian]

So, you want us to trim down the amount of information in our faction status post, yet add a full roster? I'm sure that'll go real well for the LN, BAF, CR, ect. :rolleyes:

I have far better things to do with my time, since the admins are so enthusiastic about this happening, I would assume that they are more then willing to help right?

Trim the detailed histories and the images. The full roster is not a new requirement; it has always been there. It may be a unnecessary requirement, given the tools available to us, but that is another matter. If you had read my post above (I guess you have better things to do with your time than read the entire thread) you would see that I am trying to figure out a way to provide a full roster for faction leaders (maybe with ship type included) that might save them the effort.

As for the amount of information - one faction had two posts - the story was interesting, just not pertinent to the purpose of the thread and clearly beyond what was asked for; other posts had images of the ships allowed - pretty, but not necessary.

So either the status post is your status post or it isn't. Links will do fine, but the minimum amount of information needs to be available in one place, at the very least to serve as a record for diplomacy, tech allowance (the stuff you use, not the stuff given out) and leaders (the last especially as these people have certain powers over non faction members who carry the same ID).

Yawn. I guess I'll make a template for all the important stuff and you can copy that. Unless someone else wants to. Anyone? Bueller?

Sigh. Remember folks, less is more.

Code:

[b]Faction Name[/b]
[b]In-Game Tag[/b]
[b]Primary ID[/b]
[b]Secondary ID[/b]

[b]Description[/b]
[color=#33FF33]Allies[/color]
[color=#FF0000]Enemies[/color]
[color=#FFFFFF]Neutral[/color]

[b]Permitted Ships:[/b]
[b]Permitted Guns:[/b]
[b]Special Roleplays Permitted:[/b]

[url=thread]Faction History & Description[/url]

Possibly this might be something easier for all to use?

Malicious rules changes? Don't make me laugh.
