Valton: The New Hold, OOC & Sign-Up Thread #XIX : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:23 am

hey, hey, hey!! I helped Athell and Sleepy with the one for a Warp in the East!! :smile:

Yeah, everyone would update it according to their knowledge like character sheets if your character made a drastical change after a certain event. And well OP's can become to full and an ass to maintain and a wiki might be easier to maintain.

Sounds like something worth investigating further.

Valton is quite small, you could have your character find the inn without direction. It's easier that way too.

If you feel like doing a wikia for Valton, be my guest :smile:

I assume everyone involved would then edit pages accoring to their knowledge?

That would be a great idea (not just for you by giving you more free time) but then everyone could keep much more information about their characters up to date. Like the present location and recent events. Someone wanting to interact with the farmer could check out where he's been, what he's been up to, and all that without going through pages of posts where I'm talking about cheese consistency

Well if everyone updates their characters movement on the wiki after they've made a post, it'd mean double work for all other participants. At the same time, it'd free some of my original post messiness where I briefly try to reflect what happened during the last RP thread.

So yeah, if you feel like taking some work load from my shoulders and updating the wiki as we go, I'm all game.

It wouldn't need to be updated all the time. Participants would update it whenever they feel that enough has happened that is worth putting on there. We don't want too much information either. Maybe a few statements of a character's last actions.

I'm imagining something like this:

Alguidar woke up late and sold some produce to Gorbad and Nellis, in his farm.

This statement alone encompasses many posts in the RP. It could be like a short log of the character's history in Valton.

I don't think we'd need to update the wiki after every post, more like broad statements that help track our characters' movements' outline. Say, 'Shortly after arriving in Valton, Leandra sought an audience with the Jarl. She was hired to investigate the disappearance of court-mage Fiona and, with the volunteered help of Jormaw (link to Jormaw's page on the wiki), has since inspected Fiona's tower and begun questioning the residents of Valton'. Rather than a meticulous description of every time someone scratched their bum.

Plot twist of the day, our resident farmer is actually a ninja. Damn you, foul Smig

There you go, that'll be the first thing on the wiki!

Have a look see at what I http://valtonthenewhold.wikia.com/wiki/Valton,_The_New_Hold._Wiki

Awesome. Thanks Athell!

About the format of the characters' page, can we have the player name too and maybe the class too? Only the character name would be linked.

Yeah I guess we can, I'll work on that in a bit, there's so many characters it took me ages to input them all.

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:52 am

You don't need to do all the work, I was just asking to see if we agree on a format. Then we can all help :smile:

I never edited a wiki before and it seems really easy. There are some issues with pasting the CS though. It took me 3 tries to get the formatting right.

EDIT:

I edited Alguidar's entry on the characters' page as an example of what I mean. I think this will make our lives much easier.

EDIT2:

I see that, on the OP, what we have before the spoiler tag is the player name and the race.

Maybe we could keep class and race in there by doing something like "Alguidar - Nord farmer (Played by Smig)"

You have done pretty cool job Athell. It is great.

If we make its mod too it will be hell of a project. an R, a cool RP leading to a cool mod.

How'd you get the -Nord farmer (Played by Smig) in the name, without it being part of the link / name?

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 3:39 am

Just stick a space in there after the name.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:47 pm

Just stick a space in there after the name. :wink:

Ok got that right, but adding the char-sheet as it is right now makes the whole page just be a mess without lone-breaks.. Hmm. Going to check if I can figure it out in two tries instead of Smig's three xD

Putting it through a word document solved my problem. :tongue:

Edit: The wikia still doesn't like me though.. It might've solved half of the problem, but the rest of it can be seen if you look at Gorbad or Alfhed's page right now. :shrug:

BTW, @M2H24: I'm going to directly quote what you wrote in the RP and ask you, on a scale from 1 to 10, how great that part you personally think it is:

After walking for a few seconds He stopped for a moment and look to the side and saw a huge sign hanging right above a door. He started walking toward the door. He tried to read the sign that was above the door. He managed to read the sign. The sign said Hellas Folly.

You could've said this much, much shorter, like this:
" He walked for a few seconds before he noticed a huge sign above a door. At first, he couldn't see what it said, but when he got closer he could make out "Hela's Folly." "

Critisism was welcome? There you are.

I just made a user on the Wiki. Anyway to connect with each other on it to collaborate on what to put for some pages?

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:12 am

Great idea on the wiki. That would definitely be a help to me when keeping up with a lot of posts that I might have missed since I was on last.

Talk pages I think. We should start using them instead of spamming this thread about it.

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:37 am

sorry everyone, I ma just trying to be helpful...I think there is one post that need to be edited in the RP thread. just saying.

Unless you're talking about your post ( :biggrin:

) I'm afraid I don't understand what you're referring to. :ermm:

I'll set up a community discussion place. http://valtonthenewhold.wikia.com/wiki/pvssyr

I am refering to Disturbing post. the previous oone not the last one. in grammar and other things it looks ok. In ralism and coherence with their rescue plan, it doesnt match.

I have no idea what their rescue plan was, so I cannot comment on that. As for realism, what part wasn't? The fact that the wolves didn't eat Jack?

See, she can see the wolves fangs and that means the wolf is so close and is closing in on her. That means there will be no time for another character to rush and ask for help or go inside and find a tool to fight or anything. The character when reaches her, the wolf will probably close to her for dive or attacking her with running just for two or three second.Also when he reaches the Girl, he will most definitely be engaged in a fight withe wolf because of the close distance between the wolf and the girl and for rushing to her, Therefore there will be no time to kneeling next to her and holding her head in your hands and such and running to the house trying to open it and find a tool to come and fight the wolf. by the time you get back she will logically/ most definitely. be dead.
And if they say it may be hiricine, if I am not wrong, there is no way that Disturbing character know of it. but He RPed there with his knowledge from sign ups. and if They didnt want to attack the wolf, Ayumi should have mentioned that the wolf goes away when she fell unconscious as she was controlling it, sort of. and if they didnt want the wolf to be touched, they should have or could have added the part in Disturbing post that when the wolf sees him approaching, he dsiappears and goes/runs away to avoid being seen.

so I say his post doesnt match.

» Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:31 am

The wolves intention wasn't to kill. Else she would already be dead.
