This thought occurred me to as a way to create a more cohesive world for us to play in. I am currently writing a fiction where my character goes to the Nova Club in Chicago. I don't recall that it was ever detailed in any of the books, and I started to wonder if anyone here had detailed that building. For continunity, I want to adhere to what has been done before. And that in turn led me to realize that if I wanted to know that, I was going to have to search the archives.

There has to be a better way.

What if the developers created a sub-folder in the OOC board and we started to cut and paste our descriptions of fictional buildings into the thread for that city? It would make such information extremely easy to find and would help us all be in the same world.

That doesn't mean that those things would be locked in place. Do you need to have a 80's theme for a club but my character established it as a 50's theme? Change it and note the change in the thread. The next time my character goes, they can see that the club has redecorated. This would mean another step of work for everyone, but with the magic of cut and paste, it would be a minor extra step.

The other advantage is the chance to use each other's buildings. Need a shady dive in Seattle? Just check the thread and see if someone else has done one. Then the creator can see their building used by others, and the writer doesn't have to use brain cells creating another one.

This is of course, just an idea that I've had. I'd love if other people would weigh in on it and let me and the adminstrators know what you think.

It is a good idea. Even more applicable to area specfic Novas. Meaning that WCK headquarters should have a general description as well as Prodigy's swingin pad in Tokyo.

Carver and Amps, Samhra and Singularity and Wakinyan should perhaps give entry descriptions of their homes so that whenever a fiction comes up there others might be able to add a nuance to enhance the story.

On a similar note we all need to decide when the Phoenix Room opens. (if it hasn't alread) it apparently reopens before the end of the year and we need to get a general feel of what a Nova club for novas designed and built by novas as Orzaiz says would look like. Also given the resources poured into the area by T2M and others Ibiza as a whole should be pretty much back to normal or even better.

I like.

I like it too. It would certainly help newcomers to the board.

And anal-retentive people such as myself. Can't forget them. (c;

By the by, if anyone has detailed Chicago's Nova Club, please let me know. Like I said above, consistancy!
