I very much like the idea you came up with of stating from the off that the WWA is different from other RPGs and is for people who are busy or have health problems and can;t always get on to take part in complicated plots.sigpicThanks to Draco-Stellaris for the gorgeous Todd avatar

Game discussion point
Putting NPC next to unadopted characters in the character guide could cause confusion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player_character
A non-player character (NPC), sometimes known as a non-person character or non-playable character, in a game is any fictional character not controlled by a player. In electronic games, this usually means a character controlled by the computer through artificial intelligence. In traditional tabletop role-playing games, the term applies to characters controlled by the gamemaster. (Though they are a participant in the game, a gamemaster is usually not referred to by the technical term "player".)
We don't put anything next to characters in the 'WWA Character and Character Owner Guides' who aren't adopted by anyone. We also say that any character without an owner's name next to him/her is up for adoption. We could then get rid of the up for adoption list.sigpic

I've been working on the introduction but have now gone brain dead when trying to define what worshippers are in our game world.
Post 2 has two long paragraphs under the headings of
What is a Worshipper?
What does the word 'Worshipping' mean in the Character Owners Guide?
We don't need all that information about Kenny's coffee empire any more. We're also simplifying the Borrowing/Worshipping rules so the second paragraph needs changing too.
Any suggestions?
DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR WORKING OUT NEW RULES
I suggest that everyone bookmarks the document to save us posting in the link each time we report we've done something with it.Last edited by ciannwn; 17 November 2011, 02:38 AM.sigpic

We've got pics of all the Wraith in these lists on the Wraith Defenders Club Wraith Project.

What we could do is put links to the pics in the 'WWA Character and Character Owner Guides'. Any new player can then check the list for Wraith without registered owners and click the Wraiths' name links for pics.
Originally posted by rora'sPA View PostHmm, the term Worshipper has various meanings here, really. There are those who respect the Wraith and like to work with or alongside them, there are those who have friendly relations with particular Wraith, and there are those who have 'relationships' with particular Wraith. However, I would suggest that you add something about the fact that as long as people are Wraith-friendly and simply want to interact with Wraith more that they too would be welcome. - as long as they can cope with our 'relaxed' rulessigpic

Worshippers
In SGA, Wraith Worshippers are humans who serve the Wraith in a variety of ways and this aspect is now very much a part of the game along with the original approach. The term ‘worshipper’ can have many meanings, ranging from being a Wraith’s servant or buddy to being his/her lover.

I'd volunteer to size all the piccies down on Photoshop to make the list manageable for every browser to load.

Akasha entry
spoiler tags
Alec entry

Antoine entry
Archimedes entry

Astor entry

and so on.
I'm sure any new player would be capable of clicking on name links because all the SGA Wraith are labelled as such. The pics will be the ones used in the WDC Wraith project so they won't need resizing and uploading somewhere else.sigpic

Inactive Characters List suggestion.
http://wwanon.freeforums.org/wwa-ina...-list-t45.html
The introduction reads -
Any characters or player alter-egos who haven't been RPd for 3 months or more are here. They can be re-introduced to the game Guides if the players return or the characters are played or re-adopted.
The only people ever likely to look at this list are acting GMs - I honestly can't see any new players wanting to see what's on it. We could, therefore, delete all the entries on WWANON and just put a link to the backup google document which is made available for anyone to view. I wouldn't recommend this method for everything else just in case google documents goes down just as somebody needs the records. It wouldn't be a big disaster, though, if the Inactive Character List was unavailable for 5 to 10 minutes. (Google is very quick to sort out their server hiccups)
Advantages - just one document to update instead of a WWANON post as well.
Discussion
Should Mar's characters be transferred to the inactive list now? (Mar, Chris and anyone else related to the coffee plots)Last edited by ciannwn; 17 November 2011, 06:33 AM.sigpic
