Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guilt Puppy" data-source="post: 1387152" data-attributes="member: 6521">The Journals of the White DoveI've been wanting to create a catalogue of this thread in the Story Hour section for a while now, to condense it down in order to help out both current players (in reviewing the information) and prospective players (in auditing the game)... Niccolo's reference to the Journals of the White Dove gave me some inspiration in that regard. Here's two thoughts on that matter:- First, I like the idea of writing it from Niccolo's perspective, as though it came straight from the Journals he referenced recently. I want Uriel's consent first, of course, and then there are one or two things to sort out after that.- Second, since it represents quite a workload, I'd like to open it up for the current players to advance as well. Ideally I'd like to reward XP for it as well (I'm thinking 500 XP per page covered; or, 20 XP per post, although I'd probably prefer a minimum of 25 posts covered in a given update). This brings up a few more issues:-- Do people have a problem with awarding XP for that sort of thing? It does give an advantage to players with a lot of free time; on the other hand, keep in mind that it would be a resource that benefits players with less free time.-- Would you prefer a greater or lesser amount of XP? (For fairness or motivation respectively; even if you don't plan on contributing to it, if you want this resource, you might want to vote for higher XP awards, just to make sure it gets done.) Should it be scaled to fit the party's current XP totals? (This creates some problems, making it beneficial to wait as long as possible before posting. If anything, I'd prefer to strategically bump the amount of XP awarded once the thread is brought up to date.)-- If you were to post to it, would you prefer taking the POV of your character, of Niccolo (should Uriel consent), or of some omniscient narrator?-- If XP is to be awarded, would you prefer if I didn't post (thus taking away the opportunity for XP?)- Finally, any other thoughts on form? I definitely want it laden with links to the initial thread, to allow people to view events in more detail. Any other suggestions to give it shape?Oh, and of course, does this strike you as a good idea or a completely silly one? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />On an unrelated note, things are looking a lot less dire for the end of March, and I don't imagine I'll be off-line for all that long. Nothing's certain yet, of course, but it's been looking better and better as time goes on, so we'll see.</blockquote>
