Character Lists, Please?

[Iceman]

We don’t have a simple ‘taken characters’ list, do we? I think having all of that in one place instead of asking new people to go through six boards searching for who is available and who isn’t.

Also, I was thinking that maybe we should have a list of characters which aren’t taken, but aren’t open. I know that there are a couple that I’ve heard the majority agree are not fit for our verse here, for various reasons – such as Emma Frost.

Also, a list of characters we’d especially like to see roleplayed would be nice, too. So if someone would like the sibling or lover of their character played, people can see that when they first look around, and if they don’t have a character in mind, it might sway them to apply as one of those.

I think we just generally need to clean up our members list and figure out who is still here and who isn’t. For instance, should someone contact the person rping Xavier and ask her if she’d like to come back or if we could replace her? And it might be a good idea to specify – if we do make a general post of taken, especially wanted, and not available characters – that certain characters have been rped in the past but are now available again.

Does anyone agree? I could make the lists, unless somebody else particularly wants to. It could go in the Information board, or I guess in the Characters board as well… Give me your opinions!

It'd be nice for Played By's as well... wait, wasn't there a thing already for that? Herm.

We did have a list of PBs, but it hasn't been maintained for a while now. I can compile some lists tonight, I'll chuck them in here until we decide what to do with them. I'm thinking that in a sticky on the joining board would be the best place. Like a character information thread, with lists of canons currently played, PBs in use, unplayable canons, canons up for grabs again (with info on what they did in the game perhaps?)... We do have the wanted and reserved characters thread as well, but it hasn't been used for a while.

I've been keeping the memberlist pretty clean with characters played, but there's a few people who are currently inactive. Xavier, I believe, is a special case, and will be coming back soon - the character is only being used for particular purposes. Chat to Becka about that one. Other than that, there's Cass, who'll be back in a month, Mac, Quibby and Callisto. If Becka approves, I can play around with the memberlist to have a second list of those people who are currently inactive?

Anyway, yeah, I'll play with lists tonight, since I have a list fetish and all. Yay!

So, there's some lists. Yay! I'm tempted to add the canon NPCs/unavailable characters right into the list of taken characters with a notation as to their status, so that we have a single list of every character that can't be app'ed by new members. Thoughts?

Similarly, thoughts on the unplayable/unsuitable characters? I'd personally add on-screen deaths to the list (Psylocke, Kid Omega/Quill, Arclight, etc) but that's obviously just my opinion. How do we feel about Morph, was he still going to be killed off or should we just remove him from office in case someone else wants to come along and play him again? Or just ret-con the whole thing of him being Secretary of Mutant Affairs?

Help me out with the PBs, if I've made any mistakes or if you know who the PB is for someone on the 'I don't know' list. I'm reasonably sure that I got it all up to date.

So yeah. Let me know. List making = fun. I am im happy town.

[Iceman]

Everyone, I have an announcement - Kaylan rulezors.

Heheheheh. Thanks so much for doing all the lists!!!

X-23's PB is Alexis Bledel but that's all I can help you with. Mama Guthrie is an NPC as well. So is Miss Jenny. But I mean, we don't have to list all of them.

[Nightingale]

*laughs* No worries. I like lists. ;D

Yeah, I only listed the NPCs who have accounts of their own. There's heaps of NPCs, like Will Dawg and Simmons and all of those... I suppose I should add Simmons, actually. But yeah. I'll chuck X-23's PB on the list. Yay!

[Nightcrawler]

This is really awesome! Good work, Kaylan!

So PBs, which stands for something about icon bases but I don't know what. Skin is Freddy Rodríguez and Gunslinger is Rodrigo Santoro (Brazilian, even though in the pictures I use he looks perfectly white).

[Pyro]

For Rob.

PB = 'Played By'

[Gunslinger]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... it all starts to come together.

I'm sure I'll forget in a couple days, but thanks!

[Iceman]

We should probably ought to put this in the Information now that it's finished. Just the lists, not all the comments maybe.

[Nightingale]

Did we want to have it in the information board or the joining board? Also, wherever we do put it, we can probably add the link into the Joining Guide (to replace the links to the characters board and joining board). I'm thinking probably the joining board would be best; that way all of the bio mods can edit it to keep it up to date rather than having to bother the admin-people to do it all the time. It'd probably be easy to just edit the 'Players and Characters list' to just be a 'Character Information' or something and have all the lists in there. Thoughts?

Also, while I'm thinking organisational thoughts, were we interested in adding a reply to the history with what has happened in-game since we started? Perhaps with links to major threads, if we wanted to (although I think a summary of the main events would probably work just as well) for people who are thinking about joining and aren't entirely sure what's going on?

Finally, could I possibly beg one of the admin-types to set me as a moderator on the individual character boards? I've only got permissions on the main one at the moment. Does Katie want to get her permissions changed from the Emma Frost account to the Iceman account, also, since Emma's no longer being played?

[Iceman]

Does Katie want to get her permissions changed from the Emma Frost account to the Iceman account, also, since Emma's no longer being played?

Yes I would like that very much please!

And I agree with your organisational thoughts, Kay. I was thinking about that earlier. Maybe we could take shifts - split it up by time chunks or places? Like, obviously the places would need somewhat seperate chunks. But we do need one general summary of things everyone would know about - John and Cain robbing the bank, Baltimore, Bobby's arrest, etc.

[Storm]

Mmmm. That's a pretty sexy list. I like lists too.

*licks it*

I'll see what I can do about the moderator thing for ya Kaylan *putters off*

[Admin]

Done and done! Anything else?

[Nightingale]

Alrighty, I went ahead and posted the lists - take a look at the sticky threads on the joining board, go ahead and edit if need be. I also went ahead and cleaned out the bio boards, moved those characters that have been relisted or given up.

I have a couple of admin favours to beg, though.

Since only admins can delete posts, can one of you please go through and delete some of the old moved notices on the joining board? They've built up quite a bit. Also, there's a stray moved notice for Sabretooth in the Brotherhood bio board, could you please delete that, too?

Also, could you please edit the joining guide? xpanacea.proboards92.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1153160373 I'm not sure if anyone actually uses it or not, but it'd be handy to have the mention of the characters board edited to show the character information thread, and perhaps a link to the relisted, needed and held characters thread in there as well.

Finally, Emma Frost is still listed as a mod on the joining board. So if that could be changed to Iceman, as well?

I think that's about all I can come up to pester you with right now
