I was trying to figure out a way to combine
all of these concepts so they can work, but
I really can't see a way to apply character
statistics to an online game, since that
would give our nice GM a headache. We don't
want that.

Character creation process. (lets
you generate a short one line description
of a character instead of taking a
paragraph to do the same. Useful for
quick reference, a character 'geek code',
if I might say.)

Descriptions of chracters. (but for
levity, I believe we should skip the
numeric values for now...)

Heh...then we have something in common. It
gets painfully redundant reading about
comparisons to a lego project and D&D.

So, each island has its own province basically?
I'm liking the sound of this...sounds very
similar to the location in my story project
that takes place on an island. Here's a
conceptual map I made a while ago.

Nice to know regions are naturally divided,
so there isn't any dispute over borders, etc.

True...I was just kind of bothered with
some ofthe discussion aimed again's Alex's
discussion. (I don't see anything wrong with
taking an initiative...) but getting back
on topic, yes, we need more MOCS. A good
attitude would work as well. I don't
believe I'm going to continue the previous
discussion because I want to help keep
the community stable. (hence, my boost in
posting as of late to .castle.)

If someone actually goes off posting
that this is irrelevant as well, I
won't be too surprised. I'm going to
continue discussing though, so let's
see some interesting ideas.
But first off, is this going to be a
story oriented role playing experience
with emphasis on building and
taking expeditions, etc? Hopefully not
too combat oriented? Will it use the
report idea I presented earlier, but
modified?
