Ok, for my own I can de-caps them, but what do you suggest overall? There is a trend I see here and this would be a good time to alter it if we're going to do it at all.

Ok, for my own I can de-caps them, but what do you suggest overall? There is a trend I see here and this would be a good time to alter it if we're going to do it at all. Well, I could easily edit them all myself, should it become a major trend on the board (as in, most new threads on the first page), because then it'll fall under spam anyway. But overall I'd probably just suggest titles that don't leave room for ambiguity. Ninja Election - Leadership Poll gives just as much info than [NINJA ELECTION] Leadership Poll, after all, and I doubt we'll be getting this many new threads here in the long run that we'd have to install signposts to lead people around. The guild activities tend to be focused on few long threads rather than many short ones, which aren't too hard to find, and skimming through the titles of the first page or two isn't hard either. I generally look at the name column of thread creators, I know pretty well who's active in what guilds, so I differentiate them that way the fastest, but that may well just be me. Plus, even if the title is ambiguous, where's the harm? So long as the point and the guild come across in the actual thread, it'd simply mean that some people would have to click on the thread to see what it's about, and that way it might get visitors - and participants - who'd otherwise skip the thread :3 We all know how we tend to semi-subconsciously avoid other guilds' stuff here. Nao, a shop-related question I originally came to ask (I sortof tend to ignore the NTWF when at work unless I specifically get a question, which is why I took this long). D'you guys think the guild shops could be open to everyone in the forum, not just guilders? I mean, once we get to the war, it'll be guild-only, obviously, but I'm thinking in terms of regular business right now. It might be a pretty good bridge to the non-guild populace of the forum. |

Definitely open to everyone on the forum; there's not a whole lot of reason not to, and the shop wares can be like adoptables or something. The only question is where non-guilders are going to get money.
...Are we going to have a formal money system for regular business, or are we just going to have people make a post saying something like, "I buy a plushie" and leave it at that?

So far it's been like that in the Fleet shop so I don't see why not. Same reason why the shopwars would be guild-centric: the other forumers wouldn't have the moolah. Meaning, though, that if they get used to unrestricted access, we'll have to monitor who buys stuff in the war and whether or not they're qualified to buy that stuff... I'll just go create an overall persona thread and get my own pirate shop up while I'm at it, yes? >.>;; |

I don't think we have the patience or what have you to hold to a currency for an extended period of time, so we really only have to keep that up for the war. Of course, this raises the question: after the war, should we start treating the shops like adoptables, in which case it'd be customary to limit the number of each item that can be given out? I'm not sure I see much point to that, but it bears considering. It shouldn't be too hard to keep track of who can and can't buy from the shops once the war starts. I'm planning on having a signup thread where people can say what guild they're representing, so it shouldn't be too hard to check the list of participants on the first post or something like that. |

The way my plans for the pirate shop go (which I'll get up eventually >.> It's a slow day at work so I might be able to do it soon, but due to the nature of this job, I have to be constantly alert) ...well, the way those plans go, our shop will in fact have limited stocks. But that's because I felt like it could use variety, not because of the adoptie-logic. Guess I always thought of them as a game more than anything. In order for them to be adopties, we'd have to give them original art.
(...Which I could do over the time, of course, but I can't trust myself to give any promises whatsoever as of right now xD)
