| Proposed Rules and Reg.'s for the new SG... |
|
|
|
Ok I was just tossing some around here... Some basics... please add things... I just ran out of ideas...
RULES
1. No profanity... while situations will be taken into consideration certain words will not be acceptable for use in Chats... approved words are things like hell, damn... (please add more that you feel comfortable with allowing...just couldn't think)
2. No griefing - please remeber you're a hero
3. consider helping lower lvl characters...this does not mean that you have to accept every invite to team, or SK as well as not having to give away influence unless that is your idea, however please deal with those asking for these things with consdieration. We want to be a positive reflection of Game Amp, and a strong representation of the people and conversations that occur on the boards.
* Wanrnings will be given for breaking any of these rules, however blatant disregard of the rules will result in removal from the SG with all further characters by this user barred from the SG - (approval my be overturned at a later date by a unanamous approval by staff members... but perhaps not let that be common knowledge???)
Requirments:
Minimum of 100 (?) points of creditibility for application.
Applications to create new characters on the server will be considered based on approval of AT and powersets to avoid overloading of certain types... personal preferences will be taken into account during approval... but the staff maintains the right to deny approval of ie: a 5th Fire/Dev. blaster in a small SG.
Applications for Existing characters will be based on grouping with existing members and approval by (2-3) mambers of staff that have grouped with said character. Characters having not yet grouped with a Leader of the SG can be sponsered by other members, and this member will take the place of approval by one staff member... but final approval and acceptance into the group is maintained by staff.
A short quiz over the rules of conduct must be taken prior to acceptance to assure that the gamer is aware of all the rules.
New characters are required to use the "team" costume for their first. All other costumes are free to the gamers imagination. Colors and basic information for the team costume must be the same, but accessories are permited, and the base colors are allowed to differ (ie: you can make your costume pink and green, as long as you'll be in costume with the other characters when in SG mode" - Existing characters are required to "purchase" the SG costume at their 1st avaliable costume slot - if the gamer chooses to change their first costume to the SG costume this is done at the gamers expense. (perhaps later in the lvls... we could have like SG sponsered costume changes... for people that want them... but there would be like a community vote to donate $ to change a chracters costume... just thinking)
Ok that's all I can think of right now... please add to it... I'm going to go fool around with perhaps a basic costume for the SG.

SOunds good and fairly basic so far... about the profanity... I personally only draw the line at gratuitous use of the "f word". Everything else goes, not that I"ll say it, but I won't razz you about it in less it fills the screen. (...that was my 2 cents...)
I'll admit right now... I don't give influence away to _anyone_ not even Caerbannog :). please don't make that a requirement. I'd be happy to donate some to a pool to give a way as prizes, but dear god, I'm not going to give it away to some sniveling beggar. I earn it, so should they.

just a small question about the cussing... isn't there a profanity filter in the game? i mean can't you enable it? or is the reason b/c we would be repensenting the site and what not?

Aww :(
As for the profanities, can't we just use in-game filter if we object to them?
I guess I'm back then... :)

There is a profanity filter and the filter is enabled by default. You would have to go into settings and turn it off in order to be able to actually see profanity instead of what looks like @$#@)$. That being said I don't really have a problem with folks using it as long as its not gratuitous or excessive. Because, as Jeni pointed out, if there is going to be a GameAmp SG we do need to represent it in the best possible light.
I have never really had a problem with folks swearing if they get killed or are frusterated and need to let off some steam, what has always driven me up the wall is people swearing just because they can or they think its cool.
For example some poor guy was asking on broadcast yesterday where to find some Lost and some guy responds "Why don't you shut the f up and get the f off of broadcast and try to find them for your f'ing self you moron!" Thats the kind of thing we can definitely do without in this game or any game.

the whole profanity thing... my thought on it was to really limit people just dropping the f-bomb cause they can... yes the filter is there... but do we really want to represent the site to a younger persepctive member as a group that constantly uses these things... Now I think that if you're on a team with other's in the sg... or people that are applying for joining... then yes... it's perfectly fine with me to cuss a bit if you die... but I just don't want anyonw to ever be able to say well I asked so and so from your group for the location of some Clocks and the told me to F-off... I don't ever want this site protrayed that way.
The filter is there for a reason... but I think that there does need to be some sort of presidence for things like cursing in local, broadcast and even in tells... you know I just don't want someone to hear of someone saying something like that and they decide not to even visit the site because of what was said in game.. Personally I don't care if you cuss when you die... I understand... that's part of why I said situations would be taken into consideration... but the warnings were meant more for like public displays of "stupidity"... and to tell you the truth when I was writing this up last night... I forgot all about the filter...tells you how long it's been off ;)
As for making you give $.... I can't make you do a darn thing...I was meaning helping other lower lvl heroes like... someone asking for a tp to the train if you're there... be nice enough to do it... if someone is asking a question on where to find something tell them. I wasn't planning on suggesting fees or anything like that... if you want to give them influence... cool, your decision... IF you want to help out other members of the SG with influence... cool your decision... but as for giving it to others without question.... I'm with you... earn it the hard way... same way I did.
I know that some of these need fine tuning...I'll probably check out a few other SG's sites just to get a basic idea of how some others do it... I guess I just really wanted to give a good basic guide line so that if someone was caught representing the site badly or was kind of ignoring these rules when not teaming within the SG.. I don't want it to be a case of someone saying... "well I thought those rules didn't apply when I wasn't teamed witht he group..." You know... the SG name is still displayed and I just really don't want people to think that this is how we all play. I want someone to see the team and go "Hey maybe I should check this site out.. you know.. they we're really nice.. that Girrrl X TP'd me to the train, or escorted me out of a dangerous area... or you know was generally helpful in some way.

I know that this can be a daunting number, but several screen shot submissions, mission write-ups, and an article submission will get you there. My original number was 25, but I can understand why we might want to up that number. If we are looking for people who are contributors to the site, we wan people who have earned points from other places than ratings from their posts.
The easiest way to get points, I think, is to submit screenshots. You take some shots while you are playing, throw them up in the gallery and you have some credibility :) Also, there are a lot of missions that need added. All this requires is the presence of mind to remember to take notes while you accept and do the mission.
Rate other people's posts to give them feedback. I will frequently rate the first post of a new topic at least a 3, because that person is keeping the forums busy. I also will rate posts on how helpful they were to me, or how helpful I deem them to others. Please rate my posts to let me know if they have been useful to you.

I agree. 100 is not that hard to get to if a user contributes more than posts. 10 screen shots will get you there as will tips as both are worth 10, 4 mission writeups or articles will also get you there at 25 each and guides are worth 50 each.
Posts are not the best source of credibility as they are not worth that many points and your at the mercy of others taking the time to rate you. Contributions such as screen-shots, missions, tips, guides and articles are definitely the fast track to gaining cred.

Wish I had something to add, but I'm really not the rules setting leadership types. lol That being said though, tell me which server and when we're getting this started and I'm all over it.

I think it might be better off if all the member of the supergroup be new character, you will get the sense of a community if all the heroes are on a equal basis. To a level 1 blaster who decide to join the Sg and find that there a level 48 tanker in the group can make the blaster feels slightly intimated. With the new heroes, over time you can see who will contribrute to the Sg more as they are more likely to level up faster than others, as they work as a team and promote the wisdom of the supergroup.

That was my thoughts exactly. I have seen SG's with wildly different levels and they tend to work in small groups of like leveled people vs working together as a team if they are all starting off together.

my whole thought with allowing people with existing characters was for later on...like when we get our characters to a certain lvl... you don't want to let some new guy in and make them have to start at the beginning... That'd cause the thing we're worried about. But by allowing members with already existing characters to join the group after we've reached a certain point where teaming with a "newbie" would be crazy... even with Sking.... having 2 attacks... I don't know.
And we might come across someone in game that has a character they don't want to abandon just to join... it was just a thought... cause I figured it might come up...
As for being a rule type of person... so not my usual role...I just like to make sure everyone's happy... I'm a people pleaser... man that sounds like it could be very dirty ;)

Let's make the SG up of new characters, and then as people grind their way higher faster than everyone else, or people take it slow and grind when they can, the levels will space out naturally. We can add new members wither as existing characters (with ability for costume change?) or as new characters.
Good grief, let's do this :)
I'm making my character on Infinity. Don't know what AT yet, but see ya there!
