Moral

[Daygon]

Hi, I was thinking maybe the site could implement a Morale Point system.

This would help distinguish who is good and who is bad at a quick glance (not everybody likes helping others after all xP). The Karma system is currently in place so maybe the Exalt and Smite options could be changed to Good and Bad. (This would be for your role playing character not how you are on the actual site).

For example if your pure evil you would be say -90, if your a little bit good you can be +30. These figures would change depending on your actions.

Don't know if anybody else would like this but it's just an idea.

The idea has some merit, but I don't know how if everyone would want a "goodness" rating. For example, Colwen is generally good but can get into some trouble - a number wouldn't really give any justice to that twist in her nature. Also, I don't think the coding for a "+25 but sometimes dips to -10" would be easy to implement.

However, you are more than welcome to put your own rating into your personal text, and if you can encourage enough people to join in, then maybe we can look at getting a more involved system.

But for right now, I'm just not sure how complex or involved it should be without support from other members.

Hang on, doesn't this site already have a morale point system?

If you look beneath your profile when posting, it says Karma and [Exalt | Smite]

Or is this something completely different?

If they were updated depending on peoples actions I mean. And people who are neutral types their number would be around the '0' mark.

Well, the way the karma system is set up, it can be changed by other people; I think what you are suggesting would have to be a number that is set via the profile and changed only by one person.

Like I said, if enough people are interested we can see about finding some coding to implement. Until then, let's see how putting the number in your profile yourself works out.

Could always try different colored usernames. Like: Good guy's are blue, bad guy's are red, natural is.. Green?


Sorry, just trying to help. ;D

I could always add custom titles specifying allegiance, but some people might change it or not want it to be displayed.

[Daygon]

I don't think you can change it yourself unless you're an admin...

That allegiances is a good idea though I think. Your character wouldn't know, it's just helpful for the writer.
But more people need to agree still I'm guessing xP.

[Lady Arwen]

I'm the admin, heh.

I suppose if people want to have their allegiance put into a custom title, they can PM me.
