Lock (?)

Postby Icameran Puppet » Sat Sep 10, 2011 9:38 am

I'm planning on posting the details of my region's new currency system in Gameplay. Two questions:

1. Could you lock it to prevent anyone from posting in it?
2. If you lock it, would it disappear after a while (via autoprune)?

I'll add a link to the thread once I post it.

EDIT: I've posted the thread in F&NI. Please move it to Gameplay and lock it if it doesn't belong there. Thank you!

That sounds more like a Factbooks and National Information thread -- I can't see how you could have a currency system without RPing it, and RP doesn't go in Gameplay.

If you post in F&NI, you will be the OP of a roleplay thread, so all you'd need to do is add CLOSED to the title, and if anyone does post in it, you can simply ask in Moderation for the posts to be removed.

However, if you're sure you won't be posting anything else, we can lock it. In that forum it won't auto-prune, it'll just sink to the bottom of the index, but if you've subscribed to it, you'll be able to find it when you need to. You could also put a link to it in your WFE on your region page, if you want to make it convenient for region members.

Well, it's a bit hard to explain without posting the entire thing, but I don't really think it's F&NI material. It's not really IC, so would it be allowed to go there?

Sedge and CG went through Gameplay a while back and moved all the non-Gameplay threads out. Gameplayers have only the one forum -- well, two if you count the SC -- and it's not fair to add to the clutter in those when roleplayers have five (six if you count the GA, and seven if you add F7 RPs). A thread doesn't have to be spoken by a character, or involve actions by characters, to be roleplay. If it's about something that doesn't come with the game, but you make up, it's treated as roleplay. So I'm guessing a currency system would be too.

How's about you make the thread in F&NI, then we can all have a look, and if the GP mods will let it into Gameplay, I'll move it totally free of charge. With insurance as well. ;)

I had a look at your thread, and talked it over with CG too. We both agree with Ardchoille's assessment here:

There might be a couple of gameplay aspects to your economic system (rewarding recruitment or guides to NS), but an economic system is something that is roleplayed rather than being part of the game, and currencies are used for RP purposes. It's not a thread that would fit in the Gameplay forum - we think it's most suited where it is.
