Flesh It Out: Lists

  1. Flesh It Out: Lists

    #1
    We were talking about "Ideas", and someone mentioned moving there some ideas from Flesh I Out. And there came one idea to me...


    There are (very roughly) two kinds of threads:
    1) Ideas of anyone that wants them to be expanded, given more depth, or a new angle or twist, or whatever.
    2) "Lists" of the various things a Game Master may need.

    Both have their logical place in Flesh It Out, and many of us (including me) seem to enjoy filling them, and adding new ones, it never ends. One day, we may even want to split those two groups, if there are too many and too hard to find for the lazy viewer. But not yet.

    Thus, to give these lists more organisation and a "stable" place, I have created a List of The Lists ;) , right in the Flesh It Out Forum for anyone's reference.


    Oh, and anytime you find another fine list, that is not yet on the big list, feel free to edit my post, or add to it. In fact, I consider locking it, to avoid responses that back away from the topic. It shall be only a list, and a compact one if I may ask.

    Any ideas?

    I think it's a great idea, and it might be worth it to lock it.

    I meant to chime in. That was an AWESOME idea and very much needed. A table of contents for the forum, it is great.

    Thinking of moving ideas from flesh it out to ideas....I am thinking of moving some ideas to flesh it out just so we can discuss them.

    Damn, I hate being busy.
  4. Perhaps we should just harvest...

    When we see appropriate ideas for "ideas" in the flesh it out, if the member is not a regular one which we can PM and have them do it, we should just shuffle it into ideas. It is all catch can. If you see something worthy, just scoop it. Most of the Villages, History, and Groups/ Guilds can be easily scooped and shoved into ideas.

    I am personally a big fan of scooping things up, playing with them, and making them my own. I think pushing them into ideas is a good idea.

    Reverse is also perfectly acceptable. We can do it as a "catch can" basis. You find a thread that fits it, scoop it and post it.

    Should we have "Citadel Member" generic account for us to post other people's ideas/ settings/ plots/ ?

    I personally don't like the word list. It implies, well a numerically ordered list. Some people will not get what we are calling lists don't have to be numerically order, but simply collections of information. I would like to propose a different name. Cache is a good term for it. A cache is an organized grouping of things to be saved. Semantics, I know. But it is more precise, more acurate, and has less chance of people just numbering things because they are "lists".

    Oh, and if they don't know what a cache is... maybe they will stop, look about, and think about it, before they randomly post.

    Just for the record: List Of The List Updated.

    You have an index of listings that has not been updated in a really long time (could it have been that long already?). Do you want to update it?


    I really want, but my lack of time has just become much, much worse. I may be away for a few weeks.

    So anyone feel free to update the "List of the Lists". There is also a last edit date, update it too.

    (And btw, nice additions, MoonHunter!)
