Wake Up Dead
Timestamp:  LABIA on the INTERNET Dunell Hills Corpseman  #24 -  |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TMG 02:50, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

| Type: Game Balance |
| Scope: Players |
| Description: In short, if a player character idles out, if the account is logged into, their state is that of a dead body. This is great, as it doesn't make sense for someones character to stop moving for 10 years and suddenly come back to life with full gear with no penalty. Try it, stop moving for 10 years and see if you are dead or not.
Zombies and Surviors would both get a message, something like "You slumber into unconsciousness and die." Then there is a box saying "Stand up" 10 years is just an example, whatever the idle flag is (I think it's 30 days) would make sense. |

Generic locations.
| Timestamp: ∀UDIO∀TTACK (talk) 21:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC) |
| Type: Wiki |
| Scope: Stubs |
| Description: I started making some generic locations to unstub some of the 6000+ locations/streets here, but before making them into a big deal I wanted to clear with others if this is even a good idea.
Every location type will have at least 4 different options to make it somewhat less generic and hopefully a little inviting towards players who might not have the big time creative storytelling. As of now I have inserted some options within the generic locations so that every Restaurant doesn't serve the same food - same will be done for workshops, grocery stores and apartment complexes etc. Many stubs are non-TRP locations and they should all link to either history and/or any useful information like items and other locations too, just to make them more useful. Any generic location will of course have some sort of template so all users know that the generic locations are open to all creative editing, even deletion if someone has something to add - the plan is not to finish off the map, but to give to fill out the small holes. Most of this is based on something I found in Rosslessness' userspace and I feel it deserves some attention which is why I'm making the suggestion. -Don't mind the pictures, or boxes. This is all work in progress, and thanks for the inputs I have gotten so far! |
Discussion (Generic locations.)
Hallo! Unfortunately, this isn't the right place for this question — Developing Suggestions is for suggested in-game changes, and this is an on-wiki change.
That said, I'd say just go for it. In general, for changes that don't affect the major workings of the wiki (e.g. administrative stuff, the DangerReport or Map systems) go ahead and make changes — if it's a big problem we can always clean it up later. Things like building descriptions are totally free to edit, and as long as you're not deleting lovingly-crafted content (which you won't be, if this is to be used on stubs) you're all set.
(For a shameless-plug example of a previous mass-content-add, check out the Malton Rail network I constructed in 2015 and added to all rail stations in the city. Nobody objected to that, at least not yet!) Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 23:13, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
