IDEAS, YAY!

First topic message reminder :

I WAS TOLD TO WRITE A TOPIC ABOUT THIS! SO HERE IT IS! I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY OTHER THEN THE FACT WE NEED TIMELINES AND MORE LORE! IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SAY IT IN THE COMMENTS!

I agree that this would be a good idea because the ofrum would be more organized, successful, and also we would have better chracters and topics. I do agree that most people are unlikely to look back a t old topics, and reread them. I think the only old topics that should be kept is the ones that contain importain information.

Now, other peoples side.
It is nice to look back apon old memories, and old topics to see what has been done. I don't exactly like the idead of the gods combinding their powers and a second big bang happening. Wouldn't that KILL all of our chracters? People have grown to love and care for their chracters, and other peoples chracters. It would be a shame for them to just all die and not be remembered.

Hope you understand my points! If there is something you want to add on or put that I didn't get right please tell me!

If we would talk about better organization, deleting or keeping old topics doesn't change nothing. They're in the Graveyard for a reason. They don't have any influence on the forum, so what is the point to delete them?

There could be users that don't want to see their creativity wasted and stuff deleted. Deleting old roleplays is like burning books, in my opinion. Some topics are really very good and there's also the history of the forum inside. I'm personally one of those users that like to read old roleplays, also from other users..

We need to find a compromise at this point to solve the question because I understand people would like to simply see the forum "clean".

I believe we're perfectly fine having a section "Graveyard." that can accomodate both sides.

Characters will be alive, but with this idea you're actually suggesting to destroy Pyyria and make something totally new. This is my personal interpretaiton: what are you saying, you want to erase all the territories and replace them with something else. I think we're fine with the current territories.

As for the age thing, Atlas. Each dragon ages differently. Dragons can live for approximately 2000 years. And since dragons only age about one year every month if you actually age your dragon, it would take 1000 months until your character actually starts to be effected by age. Unless you make them old, in which case it was your choice

I think users should be free to choose when their characters will become older, without having a timeline. Also, this is actually your personal interpretation of dragon age.

Another topic we need to discuss is about how dragon years work. I think it's quite confusary to have a dragon age system.

What about to switch to a generic classification?

"Hatcling, Pup, Young, Adult, Old, Ancient".

So it's simple and clear to understand how much old the dragon it is. We don't have "dragon ages" anymore, but my idea can accomodate all the users because everyone has its own interpretation of "dragon age".

Well Atlas, if what you say about ages is true, then we have an entirely different problem. All dragons need to age. Its the natural balance of life. You can't just not age because you don't feel like it. WE NEEDZ REALISM.

I understand the point to have a dragon age system because living things are supposed to have ages.

However I think everyone has its own interpretation of dragon age system.

A dragon could have a life of 1000 human years, or 3000 human years, or persumably be immortal. So how can we find an aggrement about dragon age?

My idea is to have the generic classification (Hatcling, Pup, Young, Adult, Old, Ancient) can accomodate everyone, so we don't have to think about dragon ages.

That's your opinion. I want Trinyah to grow old and die, so I can pass her legacy onto her hatchlings.

With my idea your character would be "Young". You can let her to become "Adult", without necessarily having a timeline.

My classification don't stop people from growing their characters.

Atlas, what is with you and being against timelines? ALl its doing is giving the forum more of a history, like say some time ago the first dragons were created, or the tribes were created, that sort of thing.

I'm against timelines because users should be free to choose how to grow their characters. This is my point of view.

Sorry Atlas, but I can't really make the timeline without the Big Bang 2. And I can't do the Big Bang 2 without the timeline. I don't know enough about the forum's history to make a timeline. :/

why are you so obsessed by this thing of the timeline? why one cannot be free to roleplay in a relaxed and comfortable way with the others enjoying it instead of making it unconfortable? not everyone what to follow this idea, at least, not by force, if one want to age a charachter, to me is ok, if one do not is ok and reasonable too. I don't understand this ungence you have forcing EVERYONE to follow this new "law". it's like a tyrant decided it anyway. I don't want to roleplay like that, i want to be free and collaborate with other users to make adventures and maybe open topic about the past or the future, but only if one feel to do so. it's corredct to respect the ideas of others, and this will involve every single member, and you will delete all the topic which doesn't make sense either

I'm fine with that Sleenia. I've given my character a timeline, starting this august. It's in my profile. I am upset with myself for getting out of control again, and looking back on my rage mode the other night, I have discovered two things: 1. I am not suit for the role of admin. 2. Sometimes Neptune annoys the heck outta me.

I want to make things up to you with a roleplay. Will you approve.

It's should be obvious that I would like to roleplay with you Trinyah!
