As far as I'm aware, the Knights really haven't had much chance to interact with Spacefleet at all. XD; ...So I dunno if they really have any particular opinions. Of course, I'm no Knight, so I guess I probably don't know what I'm saying. As for the everyday life topic... for PFA (or the Ninjas if you prefer), I tend to imagine training room training, the occasional random mission, and eating ramen noodles. XD The Mercs, meanwhile, seem to either be taking random jobs (which can range from anything between assassinating someone and taking out the trash in my mind), or doing random bored things in their HQ--munching on peanut butter and trying to get the TV to work seem to be common themes. And of course I'm referring to before the base-exploding incident, but you know. Certainly could be fun to have a thread to post random "diary entries" about the everyday life of a guildee. :3 It'd be like a "what we do when we're not trying to stop the world from blowing up" type thing. Or maybe a board for each Guild, where the members all post journal/diary like entries. It would be to messy if there were to many threads of peoples boards  Half of which will disappear into the depths of the other pages. But yeah, I'm liking that idea. It also shows the guild members lives outside of world ending RPs Maybe they could complain about a event, a mission, the fact they are hungry, or other things. Oh, and just because I can... *throws a Kunai at the globe* If Rider can do it, so can I. ^_^ |

XD But yeah, would definitely be fun. We could even have people from the same guild talking about the same event from different perspectives! (Like, y'know, something particularly notable to multiple people. Say, the pirates go to some random island and all the guildmembers talk about it. Or there's a chemical spill in Spacefleet and someone slipped on it and gained an extra arm. That kind of thing.) |

With all the different types you get at Spacefleet, there are probably at least a few who naturally have more than two arms. Then some poor newcomer says "Hey, so was that an accident or did you buy it?" and gets sent to interspecies sensitivity training. ...In other words, a diary would be fun just to do things like that. |

It certainly would be fun to make up little stories and events that happened day to day in the guilds, just to give them a little more flavour. =3
On a different note, I'd like to discuss the possibility of mapping the guilds, both their interiors and exteriors relative to each other. It seems like we need some proper canon on where everyone is and how far away they are as well as what is inside each guild so that poor newbies won't get lost and so we'll have some locations to work with for the diaries.

Hunty and I have discussed this somewhat. The Pirates definitely have the most complete and structured HQ layout, while the rest of them are more ephemeral. There used to be a written description of Spacefleet HQ, but I don't know if anyone's referred back to that for quite a while. (It described the 'Fleet as a single six-story building. It's since grown far larger than that.) I have my own conception of the 'Fleet's layout that I'd be glad to share, but I'd also like to see what other 'Fleeters think our HQ looks like. |

I'm not really worried that much on the mapping of the guilds, but I really want to see a more detailed map of NTWF. I've been thinking of making a really lazy one with where I thinking or feel places are from reading, and maybe someone could take it off my hands and fix it up to look nicer |

I remember making a map of the ninja guild a long time ago... *digs up the thread* here. We planned out a bit of the merc base too ( here)... though I guess that's less important now. XD; Would be nice to have some vaguely defined map of the guilds' relative position. Doesn't have to be super in-depth, so there's room for all sorts of additions and stuff if we want 'em, but a vague idea at least could be useful. |

Spacefleet is on the moon! *Shot'd* Seriously, though. I think someone (it might have been me) once mentioned that the orbit of the NTWF's moon is like that of the Earth's moon, so that the same side is always facing the planet. The 'Fleet HQ is on that side, so from the 'Fleet, the planet is always visible. |

The Knights' castle is mapped out in vague terms in our HQ thread, I believe. I don't think it's necessary to make it any more detailed than it already is, but... yeah.

Honestly, I think worldbuilding and mapping should probably be our top priority. It's one of those things that never got done at the very beginning of the guilds when it should've been done, and back then the guilds were all doing their own thing and being rather undefined and 'bloidish. But now that we're overlapping more and more, having the same idea of the world we're living in becomes a more pressing matter. Actually I think I suggested doing that back when the guilds got an overhaul and the subboard was made up there, but it never really took off.
Mapping out all guild HQs together with concept art would be especially useful, yep. I think I offered to do that back on the day - been on my to-do list for months, really - but for that I needed extensive descriptions and the like. When I drew that guild image for the subboard, I pretty much just invented all the HQs I didn't know about.
A world map would kinda-sorta come in handy. I mean, having it vague is useful for plotspeed. I imagine Tabloid Town being about two days' travel away from Dunburrow and its vicinity where the guilds operate and in GW3, everyone's managed to flock there pretty fast. And Dunburrow itself was canon as landlocked until I dropped an ocean on it in GW2 in order to have a reason for the pirates to be there. But having a map of the place of action would very much make it easier for everyone to follow a plot without having to scrutinize all those textwalls for locations and distances and whatnot.

Hunty: Problem with Mage Manor is...well, how the heck do we map out something that changes its structure based on any individual's will? XD
...Maybe a list, or a 'rest-state' diagram, would work. Magic's hard to define, too. Dangit. >.<
I seriously vote that every person in Mage Manor either write up how their magic works, or say that it works the same or similaras someone else's does.
Fraze: I remember that detail about Spacefleet, and I'm not even in it. ^^ I think it was mentioned somewhere...

Fraze: I remember that detail about Spacefleet, and I'm not even in it. ^^ I think it was mentioned somewhere... I was going to do it in a default state, with a note that it changes based on individual desire to get to a location. The Manor has to have been a normal building before it became enchanted right? ^^ However, I do like the idea of having people write up how their magic works of if they don't know, at least what it does. |

Magic's hard to define, too. Dangit. >.< Only on the inside. I'd at least like to know what it looks like on the outside. (Granted, as far as I'm concerned, it's lilac with a deep blue roof and basically consists of one central building with a few wings stretching out, a mental image I'm not about to change because I'm not about to change the guild subboard image >> But there's still plenty of room for more details.) And it probably has a default state, yes. If the entire Manor was empty, it wouldn't change on a whim, would it? The Manor thread on the subboard says that there are three floors and the rooms don't alternate between floors, for starters. If I could get a list of all the rooms you have, I'd be able to map the whole thing out. |

Thanks anyway, Hunty! If any mage reading this has any ideas for rooms they are more than welcome to PM me as we have one floor and a half to fill. :3 |

I've typed up some ideas for the Knights' day-to-day schedule and I think we could get some ideas flowing. Would it make any sense whatsoever to post it now, with GW still going?
I mean, I know not many knights are actually in GWIII right now, but still. ^^;
