Pretty good. I like the interactions so far, though it still lacks the magic that 2018 held for me in its heyday. 200x doesn't match those times, yet, and I'm not sure it ever should. Anyway, I had a couple of things I'd like to see addressed:
* more Moderation vigileance in terms of what people are doing with their characters - we went almost a month before anyone brought up Mav or Vixen's low taint, and it went from not being on the radar to being a concern. I'd like to see this loose end nailed down, before we have another fit in chat about it. It should be noted that I don't think that we should require inhuman novas to get that way with Taint because, due to the cooperative nature of this board, we should RP that in fictions. Mav is a unicorn and therefore beautiful... to a little girl with an obsession about unicorns. He should be offputting to someone who doesn't like something that looks like an animal but isn't. With Vixen, you'd have people who like her for her looks, and those who hate her. I don't think that we should force the Taint on them, especially given the fact that they paid for what are essentially cosmetic effects. But regardless, it shouldn't have been an issue almost a month into the board.
* I add an vote to the "Yes, allow people to bring over 2010 characters. There are some great characters in that board, and they shouldn't be segregated from what is going on in 200x because they were introduced in the "wrong" place.
* allow some customization, now that the rush of starting this board is done. There should be some way to bring new things in. I have some ideas on how to do this, if the mods want to hear them.
* evidence that the mods have checked/approved characters. I know that my math isn't perfect; I loved it was checked in 2010, since that was part of the rules of the board, and that it was checked in 2018 by others, even though it didn't matter.
* I'd love to see the mods be active in noting when canon events were coming up - I don't know that you guys won't, I just haven't heard that you will either. Things like Slider's upcoming death springs to mind.
So far, those are my thoughts.
Great Post, Great attempt to get a derailed train back on the tracks. I officially award you 5 brownie points!
In response to you concerns. 1st let me say that we the mods specifically left it up to the player base to go behind each other with calculators. Despite being a mod, I'm not a rules lawyer and I'd hate to be responsible to check up after each one of you. yikes, that would suck.
I did speak up about Mav on more than one occasion and have PM'd with him twice. As he noted, he actually paid for the advantageous parts of his change. The 0-point body mod is intended for cosmetic changes only. If someone goes all cheeze-o-riffic on them please bring it to the Mods attention and we will deal with it. As nova noted, we will deal with these things, but I know, speaking for myself, I really don't have time to go over every character that is proposed with a fine toothed comb.
About mod vigilance... As mods so far we have had a couple issues brought up and the ones we did not feel comfortable dealing with, we've referred to you the player base by asking the players responsible for the questionable character to post asking for input from you, the other writers.
I like the idea of the mods being involved with canon events as they occur. If I were running this as an ST, there is a ton of things I could do for the players. As a mod in a setting were we are supposed to be mostly hands off canon unless a majority vote otherwise, there isn't nearly as much available. I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have on this. I'm glad to hear Nova was planning on posting something. I'll definitely add my input.
