Possible board for introductions

(1/3) > >>

Teostra:
Well, I've been playing this game for years and took a break for a long while because I felt like the whole political aspect of the game (RP wise) was getting stupid. But, now I'm back and I've kind of been able to view it from a non-playing viewpoint considering my character's pretty much in RP limbo and likely isn't coming back any time soon.

My request is specifically for the RP section of the board. Why not have either a child board or another section of the board simply for new players who want to introduce themselves to the other people RPing. Since it seems that a lot of the key players RP wise frequent the boards, I believe it would be a good way for new players to kind of post a short bio about who their character is and maybe a little backstory so everyone else can realize they're part of the 'verse' now (or at least want to be part of it). I remember a long time ago when I started playing, this game was a lot more populated so it was easier to get into the scene of RPing. Now since the key figures are pretty much established they all seem to kind of play with each other from what I've seen and new players are treated like Konohamaru and passed aside.

Another thing that might also be good is a bit of a bulletin board in the RP section to kind of post the current going-ons in the SL universe. That could be current events, current kages, any important things within each city, etc...Because from just jumping back into the game, I don't know what the heck is going on and I'm pretty sure a lot of newer people (who aren't just alts of already established people, because those don't count) feel the same way I do.

I like both of those ideas.

We're going to need a secretary or two in order to bullet point all of the villages major going-ons. Not countin the big 5, there is still Ame and Kusa and the wanderers that would want a piece of the publicity.

Ace:
I concur, done. :)

Teostra:
As for a bulletin board, here's my example of what it should be. I don't know if it's do-able, but it would be just one post that would be able to be edited instead of one that updates with additional posts. The difficult thing would be deciding who is in charge of recording the information and updating what goes on.

BULLETIN BOARD
CURRENT LEADERSHokage: Kage Lennon
Kazekage: Sannin McCartney
Mizukage: Kage Harrison
Raikage: One And Only
Tsuchikage: Genin Ono

VILLAGE NEWSKonoha: A fossilized poop has been found in the library. Hokage Lennon has sent all research teams to investigate any potential relation to Bijuu. Updated 5JAN15
Suna: Experiencing record rainfall. Kazekage McCartney requesting local ninja to help with flood repair. Updated 6JAN15
Mizu: Currently under a tsunami warning. All hands prepare to protect the shore of village to prevent any damage from occurring. Updated 4JAN15
Rai: Be on the lookout for Genin Jagger. He has stolen a secret teriyaki recipe from the Raikage's mansion. Any ninja who encounter him should attempt to recover the recipe. Updated 6JAN15
Tsuchi: Tsuchikage is throwing a party within the city to celebrate recent peace talks with Hokage Lennon. All are invited Updated 5JAN15

OTHER POSTINGSAnd I guess here, people could request different things. Like people could PM the people in charge of the board and put out things like Genin Richards is looking for a team in order to accomplish something. It would kind of serve as those boards you see at supermarkets where people put up guitar lessons or babysitters.

Wonder if anyone else thinks this is a good idea/format.
