Room Characters Mules.

[broken_bleeding_angel]

Ok so I was making my mule for the ball and I tried naming it NPC Hades. Well if Gaia hasn't pissed me off already. It wont let me. It wont let anyone make a mule with NPC in front if it.

So I tried several other different ways for Hades. All of them were taken. Great. gonk .

So what I did was put the abbreviation for Annual Ball Character (ABC) in front and I got it.

So my mule for the ball is ABC_Hades. It looks retarded, I know, but I can't use NPC which pissed me off.

So I was thinking we could make mules and put ABC_ in front of their names so people know that they're part of the AB.

Yes I know other people could make their own ABC_ characters but we'd have a list up of the characters so people know and such. Give them ample warning for potential spammer, scammers and plot plunderers.

Yes, no? Thoughts and concerns.

dont like the underscore...

Then don't use one. That's just what I put, ok?

What about a greek name infront of it?

Like something that means underworld or dark or something?

I've been doing some research, and i think we might be able to do something really cool!

I also thought about maybe using the original gods' names but with an epitaph. For example, Demeter is known respectively as Demeter Potnia, Demeter Erinys, etc.

So are we going to make NPCs? I know last year people used their regular accounts to host. I like the idea of NPCs but I also like the idea of using my main account because I am much more active on her and it will make things smoother.

Hmm . . . but I will probably go with whatever everyone else does, to keep it consistent.

I liked that we used our main accounts last year, but it was easier to last year.

I honestly don't know what we should do.

Maybe we should put it to a vote?

I have discovered a few more things in my research as well that may pose a problem depending upon the plot and a few characters.

Edit:

the only names I could think of of the top of my head that were not taken were:

-King of the god's Zeus
-Goddess Queen Hera
-Greek goddess Hestia

That would be an awesome privilege. I'd be afraid the mods wouldn't agree to that for fear that we'd abuse it. But it's definitely worth a shot. c:

I personally think the mains would be easier, then switching constantly between accounts, as I have seen mules go totally inactive that were needed, and it happens often that a mule isn't on as much as it needs to be, so we should let the room's decide themselves.

Has anyone followed up with this? Just curious. ninja

I am definitely not using a mule, mostly because that would require me to make a new one. I have 1 named LV mule, but I used all the name changes and I hate paying 10k for something like that.

So unless we decide we must use NPC's for the ball (meaning I am not allowed to use my main), I will most definitely be using this account.

I don't think it'll be that hard for people to keep track of mods and hosts. One thing we could do is have everyone that is a host or mod use a special posting style, or post in a specific color, and say in the rules that only the hosts and mods can post like that.  

[symphonium]

hmmm, why not use a posting style? like luna's idea, but a step further. for example, the style could all be the same, like the same border or whatever, but with the name of the character on the top, and in different colors? it'd make everything so much clearer to the attendees. =S

I havent taken this any further yet, because i was waiting to talk to sabs. I think that the best idea would be to have all of the room's vote on it and majority win, so it is all consistant. I will have something up in the next few days, im sick with the flu.

mmkay well feel better!
