we just got enthusiastic, as much my fault as is yours
ємz
12 years ago
which means it's neither of our faults (yea)
Infychu

LemmanZest

I don't think I mentioned that this sounds like a really cool idea, though I'm not sure I have a charrie for it, but hope it works out~
Infychu
12 years ago
Even if you don't have a character, participating in brainstorming and discussion is still more than welcome~
ємz
12 years ago
okay, I guess a summary: we're at a interdimensional mini-dimension, squeezing through the cracks between dimensions and travelling
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Fair enough! I'll try to poke in a bit since it's... slightly more manageable now. xD; By the time I got to the other plurk I was...
LemmanZest
12 years ago
...sort of like, "Uuuuuh, way too lazy..."
Infychu
12 years ago
XD;; I'm sorry. /HUG
ємz
12 years ago
whether by some sort of Madoka figure or Childlike Empress (see Neverending Story) there is someone wanting to give people a safe place
ємz
12 years ago
to be stronger better faster saner
ємz
12 years ago
there's perhaps MIB-like dudes that give cards and/or harass ppl in a Coulson-like way into therapy
LemmanZest
12 years ago
No worries. xD <3
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Oooh, sounds interesting...
ємz
12 years ago
each mun has the default option of entering from their canon's own 'multiverse/dimension' (ie. unless requested, characters don't come from
ємz
12 years ago
the same background/timeline)
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Madoka creeps me out. D': ULTERIOR MOTIVES, AAAH.
ємz
12 years ago
thus they can go BACK home and change up their story, if they so choose
Caitlin ♥
12 years ago
I dunno if I'd join or anything (still caught up in my own game right now, idk if I can handle more) but it sounds really interesting :-o
Caitlin ♥
12 years ago
especially since you can explore how things could CHANGE?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Oooh, that could be nice~
Infychu
12 years ago
XD See, this is why I'm backing off to a purely DESIGNING role with this stuff
Infychu
12 years ago
Because I fail at life and modding
ємz
12 years ago
yes! and write your own AU's or at least have your character react as if an AU has happened
Infychu
12 years ago
But yes, it would be all about AU and such
Caitlin ♥
12 years ago
Group AU building: the game!
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Very nice
Caitlin ♥
12 years ago
/chin in hands
ємz
12 years ago
like, even if a character comes in as canon, it'd quickly grow AU if any sort of therapeutic progress happens
ємz
12 years ago
log-based on-site, with a bulletin board, but with communicators, if they go back to their canon's or if they're in town
Infychu
12 years ago
Infinite sticky notes for all B|bb
ємz
12 years ago
time is FUBAR and, say, an hour in therapy is 6 subjective hours outside it
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Definitely AU would occur either way. Unless they're stupidly stubborn. xD;
LemmanZest
12 years ago
STICKY NOTES~ <3
ємz
12 years ago
if they're stupidly stubborn we pile with cats until they cry and give in
LemmanZest
12 years ago
xDDD THE BEST PLAN <3
LemmanZest
12 years ago
ємz
12 years ago
we'd tag for major trigger categories (ie, sexual, medical, violence) and tag by whoever comments in the post
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Definitely
Infychu
12 years ago
And the AC would have All Of The Things integrated into it
ємz
12 years ago
AC (I think?) is 2 threads w/ 2 different char, of at least 15 comments per thread or 2k words from char
ємz
12 years ago
wait, 15 comments total or per char?
Steeple
12 years ago
I think with the sort of post header the last is "Content: [triggers, phobias, descriptions, potential squick, etc]"
ємz
12 years ago
agree with post header, and maybe a note on whether in-person or network
Infychu
12 years ago
If you're playing...... Kakashi, and you have a heartwarming thread with Obito and a screaming fight with Deidara, you'd want to make either
Infychu
12 years ago
15 posts with Kakashi between those two threads, or 2k words from Kakashi between those two threads. Does that make more sense?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
You could do ten per char? That's a middle of 15 per thread or 15 total? xD;
Infychu
12 years ago
That could work too :|a
ємz
12 years ago
hmm, yeah, basically just the thought that they're tagging around
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Okay, so 15 posts OR 2k words per AC spread between two threads?
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, sounds good.
Infychu
12 years ago
2+ threads, anyway. So long as you aren't doing stuff only with one other person
ємz
12 years ago
right
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Good deal. Okay.
ємz
12 years ago
well, I mean, I don't think people should be repremanded for short threads, and those should be fine, but that longer threads with more than
ємz
12 years ago
1 person encouraged
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Though, if I have three threads going, am I still okay with 15 posts / 2k words?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Or do I need to up the ante?
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, you'd still be fine
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Okay. That's nice~ xD;
Infychu
12 years ago
Those just seem like a decent benchmark to show activity, no matter how spread around they are
ємz
12 years ago
right
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Yeah.
Pangloss
12 years ago
I like that idea!
Infychu
12 years ago
=3
ємz
12 years ago
so, like 2~3, but no more than 4, threads with a total of 15 comments or 2k words, whichever comes first
LemmanZest
12 years ago
That works.
ємz
12 years ago
other things from the previous post: resources will be linked to for players, but not demanded that the official terms be used, the app
ємz
12 years ago
would have personality section with emphasis on psychology and threads to previous rp would be encouraged, with multiple options for
ємz
12 years ago
threading w/ ppl in game OH RIGHT
ємz
12 years ago
what say you guys to having a semi-regular 4th wall event? like there's 'ghosts' in a certain location every full moon
Infychu
12 years ago
That could be cool =3
ємz
12 years ago
and people can thread with regulars even if they haven't app'd in? I'm thinking this could be a link on the main comm to a separate comm
Infychu
12 years ago
Oh, and a section on the app will be for what people plan to do with their characters
ємz
12 years ago
hmm, do we need them to map it out like that? or just put it as encouragement?
ємz
12 years ago
or maybe just request that they have a goal in mind? and state it on the app?
Infychu
12 years ago
/shrug
ємz
12 years ago
instead of like "FOR THIS WEEK OF X MONTH I WILL DO THIS"
ємz
12 years ago
also (thinking) will we need a power's section? considering everyone's tamped down state... or just request that they put in on journals?
ємz
12 years ago
frankly, I'm fine if ppl just link to a wiki on their char's powers
Infychu
12 years ago
XD Yeah, just a general overall goal/character arc, whatever
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, I'd be fine with that too, given how the powers would be fudged with
ємz
12 years ago
from other plurk: Either they check in themselves, someone else does,
ємz
12 years ago
or they stumble into the world and people point them to the facilities for help?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
A brief statement of powers might be nice? But link to wiki for in-depth description, etc?
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
ємz
12 years ago
that works!
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I also like possibility of 4th Wall~
ємz
12 years ago
other plurk: individual rooms, chores that will be available for thread making but not mandatory, saner ppl can work in nearby town
ємz will
12 years ago
have increased supervision and etc should char prove unruly, will be given an info and tour of the place asap to prevent boring intro post
ємz
12 years ago
maybe a samuel L jackson PB for long-suffering director-dude
ємz
12 years ago
NPCs also get affected by events, events will be preceded by polls for info on player needs/wants/schedules
Steeple
12 years ago
oooh I like that
ємz
12 years ago
events are non-regular, but will be announced at least a month ahead of time, and will have a 3~4 month arc
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Interesting!
Steeple
12 years ago
I really love the arc idea too
ємz
12 years ago
events can be suggested by player-base, and voted on, if no more than 60% win, a revote with different options
ємz
12 years ago
well, and I figure more events when ppl are free and less during finals season and what have you
ємz
12 years ago
possibility of apping in as staff although the app would be more rigorous
ємz
12 years ago
x9000 if it's a villain
Steeple
12 years ago
unless maybe they're an antivillain, hehe
ємz
12 years ago
/nods
ємz
12 years ago
but in any case, would require more conversation with the mod-team, esp re: events
Steeple
12 years ago
of course
ємz
12 years ago
apps are always open, and there is no requirement for the mun to diagnose the char, just understand what makes them tick and play appropos
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Nice
ємz
12 years ago
powers are inactive if there's ill-intent behind it, that's just how the dimension works. this does not apply to physical abilities
ємz
12 years ago
gym/simulation room/stuff to break available
ємz
12 years ago
as are fluffy animals
ємz
12 years ago
well, not to break (unsure)
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Awesome, that's a good deal. I like that.
Steeple
12 years ago
I'd imagine there'd be a stimulation room
LemmanZest
12 years ago
No, please don't break the animals. D': Only cuddle the animals. <3
Steeple
12 years ago
like it has a rocking chair, stuffed animals, colored lights, a whitenoise machine, etc
ємz
12 years ago
there'll be a mixer every week, and the non-hospitalized can app in as like, 'event coordinator' or 'gardener' or 'cook'
LemmanZest
12 years ago
That would be cool, to have some charries who aren't necessarily there for the therapy...
Steeple
12 years ago
mhm!
ємz
12 years ago
yup! /fully believes in a well-rounded community
ємz
12 years ago
and or....ppl who are in-denial
ємz
12 years ago
XD
Steeple
12 years ago
lol
ємz
12 years ago
and think they're sane, or can come off as sane, but who aren't
ємz
12 years ago
okay, I THINK that's everything in the last plurk, feel free to pop in anything I might've missed and... gosh, what else do we have to hash
Steeple
12 years ago
how would that work?
ємz
12 years ago
OH RIGHT, app process?
Steeple
12 years ago
like... they're dysfunctional but think it's normal?
Steeple
12 years ago
or can moderate themselves but have a problem area?
ємz
12 years ago
well, or like Dexter, who's a serial-killer but functional, normally
ємz
12 years ago
of course, they'd be requested to elaborate more on their plans/goals for their character
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
Steeple
12 years ago
so I guess for dexter it'd be to stop him from murdering people and the therapy would focus on that
Steeple
12 years ago
since he doesn't have any other difficulties
ємz
12 years ago
well, technically he only kills bad guys
Steeple
12 years ago
hehe
ємz
12 years ago
buuuuut since the place is potentially FULL OF BAD GUYS...
Steeple
12 years ago
ahh that'd be bad
Steeple
12 years ago
so he'd have to be monitored to prevent him from trying to kill his fellow patients
ємz
12 years ago
unlessss they don't even know, because he's not a patient
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah....
ємz
12 years ago
it all depends on what the mun wants to do with them
Steeple
12 years ago
maybe the mun can develop a case history?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Definitely people who are in denial. xD;
Steeple
12 years ago
like "he's killed people as a form of vigilantiism"
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I like that the mun can slip them in and direct where they start, etc. xD;
ємz
12 years ago
/nods
Steeple
12 years ago
well, it could be an option
ємz
12 years ago
I mean, I think it'd have to be stipulated that the black sheep will never be more than, say 1/10 of the pop of ppl in control
ємz
12 years ago
oh, also, jail-break scenarios are totally okay, imo, but with the caveat that only 10% of the pop can escape and that means the other 90%
ємz is
12 years ago
on lockdown, so the game pop itself will have to decide on that
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Yes. You'd also have to figure out whether or not those who monitor the facility would eventually find out about/pick apart those who..
ємz
12 years ago
or, well, not those hard numbers, but like, not 100%
LemmanZest
12 years ago
...aren't really there for therapy, buuuut may need a bit of help after all...
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
ємz
12 years ago
yeah
Steeple
12 years ago
in that case they might be released with a checkin now and then
Steeple
12 years ago
I mean going to a therapist can help for preventation and "small" problems too
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Well, if they aren't in the program, if they're there to "help" and not a patient, how do you convince them to come in or try to help...
LemmanZest
12 years ago
...without their enrollment?
Steeple
12 years ago
by offering?
ємz
12 years ago
...? huh? reword that?
Steeple
12 years ago
I mean like
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Like. If someone who believes they are "normal" is there to, say, volunteer or something? I got the feeling that might be an option.
Steeple
12 years ago
encouraging them to come in and use the services
LemmanZest
12 years ago
But if it's someone like Dexter, and they discover he's got those issues, do they approach him about them? Or...?
ємz
12 years ago
/nods, or just let it develop naturally
ємz
12 years ago
I figure it'll end up being interesting shenanigans anyways
Steeple
12 years ago
well if they find out he kills people then they might have him committed
Steeple
12 years ago
since he's a danger to others
ємz
12 years ago
yup
ємz
12 years ago
but that's a 'if'
Steeple
12 years ago
true XD
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Right. xD
ємz
12 years ago
but, there's already a system in place if the person is a danger to themselves or others (ie. the hospital itself), and powers
ємz
12 years ago
are damped if there's intent-to-harm
ємz
12 years ago
hell, it would be an interesting thing if the place tries to hunt down the runners and/or get ppl who sees the benefits and are staying to
ємz
12 years ago
convince the runners to go back
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Definitely

okay, thought, app submission? ideas? dislikes?
ємz
12 years ago
I would prefer that the apps are at least made public if accepted
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Definitely made public if accepted, though perhaps e-mail submission?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I always feel bad when I post for the public and there's that, "D': What if I'm not accepted will everyone see something I did wrong? Augh"
ємz
12 years ago
what about in screened comments?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I don't know much about them, but it sounds like that could work. o;
Infychu
12 years ago
Hmmmm, could work :|a
Pangloss
12 years ago
going back to an earlier point, I still feel that there should be a dynamic for characters who are just coming into the system for
Pangloss
12 years ago
out-patient therapy. Like...Dexter could be required by his department to have weekly psych evals, and this is the place he goes.
ємz
12 years ago
/nods, I am totally down with this
Infychu
12 years ago
Sounds good
ємz
12 years ago
(thinking) and well, the comms work across-dimension
Pangloss
12 years ago
And if you have a time manipulator (I have a few chars who can do that) then these people can stay and hang out and then go back to their
Pangloss
12 years ago
world. It also gets around the problem of people needing to be committed and people with "minor" problems. Like...that lady from Glee with
Pangloss
12 years ago
OCD could be a character even if she's not completely nuts.
ємz
12 years ago
hmmm, point!
Pangloss
12 years ago
Oh! Maybe everyone could be required to do some kind of service instead of paying?
Pangloss
12 years ago
So that would be a way of getting the out-patients involved.
ємz
12 years ago
/nods
Pangloss
12 years ago
Not necessarily required for in-patients with severe disorders, but for the out-patients they could have set chores or
ємz
12 years ago
fffff or maybe act as the MIB for a month?
ємz
12 years ago
XD
Pangloss
12 years ago
at the least be required to take a meal at the cafeteria...that might work as well! Proselytizing awesome therapy sessions. XD
ємz
12 years ago
or even maybe getting food/supplies from their canon dimensions
ємz
12 years ago
(thinking)
No. X
12 years ago
Or they can check in if they need a break from life?
No. X
12 years ago
I'd check in to get away from the Glee teacher dude if I were teacher lady after a while...
No. X
12 years ago
Or they can be back at home and post from there?
Pangloss
12 years ago
maybe both! They could have places for patients who need to check out of their life for just a bit, places for weeklies, and long-terms.
Steeple
12 years ago
or maybe jsut socialize
Pangloss
12 years ago
and people would be encouraged to pick whatever option suits them best? with some encouragement from the psychologists.
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
Pangloss
12 years ago
in the last plurk we talked about the difficulties with bulletin boards - perhaps there could be a dynamic where people who don't stay
Pangloss
12 years ago
could still post stuff to the boards? That way they could also call for help if they need transport or are having a bad mental health day.
ємz
12 years ago
/always approves of options
Pangloss
12 years ago
plus they could still interact...
Pangloss
12 years ago
so maybe 2 coms, like Micro, with a bulletin board com which can include door stickies and announcements and stuff, and a log com.
ємz
12 years ago
I like the idea of a communicator thing that can be hung around the neck and looks like a dog tag... tho that's just me XD
ємz
12 years ago
tbh I'd prefer a single comm and just label it
ємz
12 years ago
sticky the bulletin board and the only other comm is the 4th wall comm
LemmanZest
12 years ago
You can always have some way to tell where a message is coming from, I'd imagine.
ємz
12 years ago
like, why does the log comm have to be separate from the main comm? I never understood that
ємz
12 years ago
I mean, I'm open to opinions, but in my own opinion it creates an unnecessary divide
Pangloss
12 years ago
no, I see what you mean. its easy enough to tag things "Action" or "Bulletin Notice"
ємz
12 years ago
the only reason why the 4th wall comm would be separate is that it would be available for commenting by non-members
ємz
12 years ago
whereas the main comm would be member-only
ємz
12 years ago
well, plus an ooc comm, 'cause duh
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
Steeple
12 years ago
I like integrating the log and etc into one comm
Steeple
12 years ago
also I like the straightforward communicator dealie
ємz
12 years ago
what is everyone's thoughts on having all of the admin posts in ooc comm too? properly tagged and linked
Steeple
12 years ago
sure!
ємz
12 years ago
(thinking) any downsides?
~(=^‥^)_。
12 years ago
Wow cool ideas there!
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, I like the idea of integration and whatnot
Pangloss
12 years ago
so I was thinking about what this place would look like. You guys got any ideas?
Infychu
12 years ago
Lots of motivational posters? :|a
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Haha! xD I think it looks comfortable. Clean and comfortable~ Soothing.
Pangloss
12 years ago
I was thinking a big floating island with the rooms looking out over the ocean....../totally different train of thought/
Pangloss
12 years ago
and yes, lots and lots of plants.
Pangloss
12 years ago
maybe lots of vines on the walls? and miniature trees that glow at night inside...
Steeple
12 years ago
that'd be annoying
Pangloss
12 years ago
true.
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I don't think that would be that annoying -- I like the sound of all of that.
Pangloss
12 years ago
maybe there'd be different sections of the island for people who feel comfortable with different things?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
That makes a lot of sense to me.
Pangloss
12 years ago
I imagine people from Sci-Fi starships might find lots of plants weird, and might prefer a more clinical/sterile environment.
LemmanZest
12 years ago
To have an island with many different sections for different needs.
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Agreed~
Pangloss
12 years ago
Other people might be way more comfortable with lots of growing things around.
Steeple
12 years ago
glowing = lights at night
Steeple
12 years ago
when people are trying to sleep
Pangloss
12 years ago
in the halls?
Pangloss
12 years ago
remember, people have private rooms.
LemmanZest
12 years ago
They don't have to be in the rooms
Steeple
12 years ago
....oh
LemmanZest
12 years ago
They can be in a lobby area. And some people might want night lights.
Steeple
12 years ago
I was thinking like, glare and stuff
Steeple
12 years ago
but maybe they act more like - yeah
Steeple
12 years ago
like the soft sort of lights like those "landing strip" lights for nighttime navigation
Steeple
12 years ago
I thought the trees would be outside and there'd be windows XD;
Pangloss
12 years ago
I was thinking of something that would be really low light - cool greens or blues - landing strips are a good example!
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah!
Pangloss
12 years ago
^.^
Steeple
12 years ago
it shouldn't be too cluttered though
Steeple
12 years ago
inside, I mean
Pangloss
12 years ago
yeah. perhaps I'm picturing this being much bigger than other people?
Pangloss
12 years ago
what's your idea on the rough size?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Even if there are windows, there could be curtains~
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Low, cool blues were what I was thinking~
Steeple
12 years ago
um.... four or five feet wide halls?
Steeple
12 years ago
I think my geography is showing, ehehe
Pangloss
12 years ago
like...how large the whole facility is.
Steeple
12 years ago
oh
Steeple
12 years ago
I guess not that big, but of course it would be large XD;
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I feel like there could be plenty of different lobby areas, a main center... You mentioned an island, that seems pretty big to me~
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I don't know how to specify how big, though.
Pangloss
12 years ago
yeah. I'm thinking the island would house everything though, so the fields, a local town etc.
Steeple
12 years ago
also are curtains allowed? or maybe that'd just be for suicide-watch peeps
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Suicide-watch peeps probably shouldn't have curtains, yeah. x.x';
Pangloss
12 years ago
yeah. maybe shutters instead.
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Depending on how fancy the facility is, though, perhaps there is an option to tint the windows -- darken them to the outside.
Steeple
12 years ago
...that'd be cool
Steeple
12 years ago
like a dimmer switch
Steeple
12 years ago
but with a window
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Yeah it would 8'D
Pangloss
12 years ago
:-D
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I like that idea -dork-
Steeple
12 years ago
why aren't these real
LemmanZest
12 years ago
They're actually working on walls that will allow you to draw windows, apparently.
Pangloss
12 years ago
well, low-tech shades are?
Pangloss
12 years ago
ooooooh
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah but shades are stupid. actually I like the blinds that my dad got that move the top as well as the bottom
Pangloss
12 years ago
mmm.
Steeple
12 years ago
I assume it goes without saying that the bathroom and bedroom doors don't have locks
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Blinds could potentially be taken apart, cords used, etc...
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah that's why I like the dimmer switch idea
Pangloss
12 years ago
should each room have its own bathroom, or will it be communal?
Pangloss
12 years ago
and if the latter, should different floors/halls be separated by sex?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Hmm...
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Maybe communal bathrooms with private stalls? Not sure about gender separation...
Steeple
12 years ago
I like gender neutral bathrooms myself
Steeple
12 years ago
maybe a communal bathroom with stalls and one or two single bathrooms?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Especially if there are private stalls, gender neutral wouldn't be a problem.
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Stalls not just for toilets, but showers as well
Steeple
12 years ago
right
Pangloss
12 years ago
It just might be weird for people from early worlds who haven't experienced that kind of thing before.
Steeple
12 years ago
could be XD
LemmanZest
12 years ago
True. But they could get used to it. xD Massive tour of the facility and introduction to the era, etc~
Pangloss

12 years ago
/nods/
ємz
12 years ago
the kitchens are likely on the flip side of them
Pangloss
12 years ago
Okay. How many patients, on average, do you think they have?
ємz
12 years ago
(thinking)
Steeple
12 years ago
50?
Steeple
12 years ago
I figure it's better to overshoot
ємz
12 years ago
...well given that it's literally a travelling dimension whose space/time is fubar, anywhere from 50~infinite
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/ I was imagining a bigger number, since the whole place was designed specifically for this.
Pangloss
12 years ago
but fifty to start with it a good idea.
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
Steeple
12 years ago
50 is a baseline but it can magically accomodate more because we say so
ємz
12 years ago
/nods, that sounds cool
Pangloss likes
12 years ago
the idea of this place being based on magic. makes stuff easier.
Pangloss
12 years ago
should they be allowed to choose their own rooms?
Pangloss
12 years ago
and is there a way to prevent other patients from entering rooms unasked?
Pangloss
12 years ago
(since staff should be able to come and go, but other patients could trash rooms and stuff, and that would suck)
Pangloss
12 years ago
like...maybe their dog-tags get them access to certain places but they can't get into others?
Pangloss
12 years ago
which would also keep unauthorized people out of the kitchens, and stop people from doing things like jumping from opened windows.
Steeple
12 years ago
ooh that's a good idea
Steeple
12 years ago
I think there are room assignments, if only for practical/clerical reasons
Infychu
12 years ago
But don't they not have the dogtags in the facility?
Steeple
12 years ago
I mean, no need to sprinkle them throughout the place
Infychu
12 years ago
I thought they had them in town/at home
Steeple
12 years ago
maybe in-patients ahve them too?
Infychu
12 years ago
That'd kinda dilute the idea of face to face interaction, though? :|a And the healthy effects of socialization and whatnot.
Infychu
12 years ago
I mean, I could see it if there were seperate tags for ID and for comms? That would be easy enough to arrange.
Steeple
12 years ago
well, for communicating with those outside?
Steeple
12 years ago
or would there be terminals for that?
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, terminals
Infychu
12 years ago
Access to people out there, but limited enough that it wouldn't be feasible to use it in the building itself.
Steeple
12 years ago
yeah
Pangloss
12 years ago
I think I'm conflating the idea of a general idea with the dog-tag communicators.
Pangloss
12 years ago
Maybe they have to slot the tags into a terminal to get access to the wider network?
Pangloss
12 years ago
and it could be that they use the tags to lock people out of their rooms and force them to socalize.
Pangloss
12 years ago
* socialize
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, that sounds good? ID cards, key cards, etc. all in one.
Infychu
12 years ago
And just a seperate one with full comm functionality.
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
Steeple
12 years ago
oh I like that!
BANNED CLOWN
12 years ago
... !
Steeple
12 years ago
so the tags can be used to "log in" to different stuff
Steeple
12 years ago
liek the terminals
Steeple
12 years ago
maybe even track those under watch
Infychu
12 years ago
Yus :3
Steeple
12 years ago
like they hae to tag into a door
Steeple
12 years ago
"oh, so and so is checked into the training yard"
Infychu
12 years ago
ID, locks, log in, "paying" for stuff or checking stuff out of lockers and whatnot....
Infychu
12 years ago
Yus :3
Pangloss
12 years ago
they might even have a tracker in them so you can find people off world?
Pangloss
12 years ago
though the patient doesn't have to wear them all the time.
Infychu
12 years ago
Yeah, just to get around
ємz
12 years ago
/nods, I like all these ideas XD
Pangloss
12 years ago
I'm sure some people would try to hack the system...
ємz
12 years ago
or basically, to get into the site means that the comm functionality is shut off
Pangloss
12 years ago
yes!
ємz
12 years ago
ie, the moment it gets used as a key
ємz
12 years ago
gosh, I really should watch the neverending story again, since apparently we're using alot of that
ємz
12 years ago
and/or tech based on magic
Pangloss
12 years ago
well, admittedly the stuff I suggested was from the book. The Movies are a lot less...dark.
Pangloss
12 years ago
(which is impressive, given what I remember of the first movie)
ємz
12 years ago
oh, there's more than one? o.o
Steeple
12 years ago
yep
Steeple
12 years ago
three
Steeple
12 years ago
in total, I mean
Pangloss
12 years ago
There are three neverending story movies. only the first has any connection to the book.
Steeple
12 years ago
ahahaha yes
ємz
12 years ago
ohh
Pangloss
12 years ago
and that one cuts off half way through the plot,
ємz
12 years ago
well, pft, we could even say it just takes place in an AU of the movie, 'cause technically there'd be ppl with different imagination makin
ємz
12 years ago
stuff, no?
Steeple
12 years ago
sure!
Pangloss
12 years ago
yes!
Pangloss
12 years ago
the main point is that the land connects all imagined worlds.
ємz
12 years ago
hmm, I wonder if this should be sorta like 'beta/intro' arc for the game, just to reveal all these details
LemmanZest
12 years ago
YOU GUYS SAID WAY TOO MUCH in the hour or whatever I was at the hot-tubs, someone recap me.
ємz
12 years ago
we're basically discussing what the setting looks like
Pangloss
12 years ago
Facility is designed for at least 50 people, all with private rooms accessed by dog-tag like key-cards.
ємz
12 years ago
and yeah, I'm down for them choosing rooms, with room privliege being taken away for misbehavior
Pangloss
12 years ago
that might be best, especially if there are different kinds of floors based on origin-setting.
ємz
12 years ago
or, basically, I'm down for this growing in as organic a way as possible, but if mun have no opinion, I'm fine with plopping ppl whereever
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nodnod/
ємz
12 years ago
enough space to do something, but not enough to do nothing with
Steeple
12 years ago
oh yeah
Pangloss
12 years ago
would love to get my hands on a program where I could built a 3D version of this, not going to lie.

oh! list of common room and areas? library, gym, kitchen, cafeteria
LemmanZest

Question: Individual rooms or shared rooms? Just to be sure~
ємz
12 years ago
individual
ємz
12 years ago
unless by request
LemmanZest
12 years ago
ART ROOM. Make an art room~ <3
ємz
12 years ago
oo yes
LemmanZest is
12 years ago
there a pool?
ємz
12 years ago
stables and fluffy creatures
ємz
12 years ago
pool and a lake
ємz
12 years ago
forest area for frolicking
ємz
12 years ago
gardening area
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Mmmm, I want to live here.
ємz
12 years ago
:-D
ємz
12 years ago
but also... the areas that are non common room, like pool/kitchen where it might be dangerous, forest, stables, need access permissions
Pangloss
12 years ago
and probably have staff monitoring them?
ємz
12 years ago
yeah
ємz
12 years ago
so that it's not automatic, but that they're also there for 'earning'
ємz
12 years ago
like, a solid goal for a char to work towards
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
ємz
12 years ago
certain library sections too, require access, esp since history of worlds and tech and magic is probably in there
ємz
12 years ago
a la discworld
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Yes, that sounds good.
ємz
12 years ago
at one point I'd like an implosion arc
Pangloss
12 years ago
yes. there's probably a basic library, and then the higher floors are restricted...
Pangloss
12 years ago
Implosion arc? Like the Nothing?
ємz
12 years ago
like, the dimension is trying to squeeze past two dimensions and it's not fitting
ємz

and things go terribly strange and the sky is falling and then everyone get's snapped back into their canon for a week
ємz
12 years ago
and you come back to rebuilding

it'd be like finals week or something
Pangloss
12 years ago
XD
LemmanZest

xD That would be cool...

and have their comms still working so that ppl who have time can still send panicked signals over comm

"Ah, don't worry! We simply came to close to a scientific world."

...that was late.
ємz

nah, signal blackout from the ward/hospital OMG WHAT ARE WE CALLING THIS?

but yes! and that would force characters to interact with their canon-mates and deal with their problems head-on.

seriously tho, this thing needs a name, I don't know what to call it?

and well, late-game thing
Pangloss
12 years ago
as for the name, I'm still thinking of something derived from Sanitarium.
ємz
12 years ago
ohhh
Pangloss
12 years ago
but...with a more positive spin?
ємz
12 years ago
right
ємz
12 years ago
well that's sorta why I like the name Sanctuary, but it's sorta taken as the name of the show XD
ємz
12 years ago
...unless we just make it Sanctuari
ємz

Pangloss
12 years ago
How about Sana?
ємz has
12 years ago
it been used before? it sounds familiar but I'm not quite sure why.
Pangloss
12 years ago
From "Mens sana in corpore sano"?
ємz
12 years ago
what does that translate into?
Pangloss
12 years ago
"A sound mind in a sound body".
Pangloss
12 years ago
apparently its a famous latin quote.
ємz
12 years ago
hmm!
Pangloss
12 years ago
Sano, Sanare, Sanavi, Sanatus
sanus, sana, sanum
Pangloss
12 years ago
How about Sanavi?
Pangloss
12 years ago
or Sanare...
ємz
12 years ago
what do those conjugations mean?
Pangloss
12 years ago
To heal, treat or cure.
Pangloss
12 years ago
and the Sanus, Sana, Sanum is to be well or healthy.
ємz
12 years ago
hmm, I like either Sanavi or Sanare
ємz
12 years ago
or, idk, anybody else with ideas?
ємz

or thoughts/objections/feedback?

lol, silly east coast ppl
ємz

oh hey, what's Refuge in latin?
Pangloss
12 years ago
um...to take refuge is Confugo, and safe refuge is Locus Tutus
Pangloss
12 years ago
at least, according to the internet.
ємz
12 years ago
...eh, neither has that 'ring'
ємz
12 years ago
tho confugo comes close if only for the puns ppl can do with confusion
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
Pangloss
12 years ago
I'm still leaning towards Sanavi though.
Pangloss
12 years ago
or Sanare.
ємz
12 years ago
I think I like the -vi sound more than the -are sound
Pangloss
12 years ago
/nods/
Steeple
12 years ago
sanare is literally "to ___" b/c of the conjugation
Pangloss is
12 years ago
Sanavi any different? I'm pretty sure they're all declensions of the same verb...
Pangloss
12 years ago
but Sanavi seems to be occasionally used as family names, at least.
Steeple
12 years ago
I think it's been a while
Steeple
12 years ago
I like the sound of the Sanavi Clinic though
ємz
12 years ago
since it's been used as a proper name?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I just had to take a shower. No idea what to name it, can look at stuff in a while~

ємz
12 years ago
yeah, but apparently ppl were struggling at about 600
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Makes sense.
Pangloss
12 years ago
when we hit 600 should we start a new one?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Or should we preemptively start a new one now?
ємz
12 years ago
idk, how are ppl's browser's handling it?
ємz
12 years ago
mine's been fine at 900
LemmanZest

Mine is fine for now?
Steeple

I think we should make a new one at 600

12 years ago
....and we stall out 2 comments away. XD
Pangloss
12 years ago
well, 2 comments away from 560, at least.
ємz

ємz
12 years ago
I mean, if we talk about the app things, I feel weird if ppl are emailing apps and then I post them somewhere, but I feel none of the wierd
ємz
12 years ago
if I'm just unscreening their app
ємz
12 years ago
however, unscreening something means that you can't go back and edit an app after submission, which also gives me hives so IDEK
ємz
12 years ago
or just make a requirement that the app has to be posted on the journal they'd be playing with and a link posted to the app submission site?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Hmm... They could e-mail apps and you can e-mail them back to post their own apps if they are approved? Or e-mail them back and tell...
LemmanZest
12 years ago
...them what to look at, etc, if the app needs work~
ємz
12 years ago
hmmm
ємz
12 years ago
tricky
ємz
12 years ago
also, on reservations, if it's constantly open, idk why we'd need them even. I kinda feel like there should just be a, 'pm mods here'
ємz
12 years ago
if they want dibs on a char because they're working on an app
LemmanZest
12 years ago
That could work
ємz
12 years ago
but I could be missing something (thinking)
ємz
12 years ago
idk, is there something I haven't considered?
Steeple
12 years ago
sorry I went to sleep too
ємz
12 years ago
hmm I guess if I'm working on an app and someone submit's theirs first (thinking)
LemmanZest
12 years ago
Unless you have a set time for entries and/or reservations, I don't think you're missing things?
ємz
12 years ago
like, if apps are always able to be submitted and I didn't know someone else was already apping a char, I would like to know before I work
ємz
12 years ago
on my app
ємz
12 years ago
hmm, any other thoughts on the world/dimension itself? like, what does the rest of the planet? or is there even a planet? or just an island?
LemmanZest
12 years ago
I kind of liked the floating island, but maybe it should be on some small world of some sort, idk...
Steeple
12 years ago
there could at least be a mainland
Steeple
12 years ago
like maybe a ferry or subway goes between them
No. X

...so, the clinic is tartarus and we're in persona 3?

ємz

well if we're using Thera, there could be a a town on another island? (thinking)
ємz
12 years ago
of the Thera system I mean
ємz
12 years ago
or we could just have it be in the island system?
ємz
12 years ago
or just a really small planet that doesn't make sense because it's constantly getting warped via space-time

well, if we go with the Fantastica idea it could be a really, really big planet/world but the area they're in is in an archipelago?

that also means that there would be just about anything people could imagine to visit for "field-trips" and the like.
