Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) IMO, the forums will need some work in order to better accomodate an organized structure. Here is the current layout: General- General Discussion- Office of the Delegate (protected)- The West Pacific Armed Forces- Embassy Row-- TWP Foreign Affairs- The ClubHouse- World Assembly Affairs- WA Issues Maintenance & Support- Information Releases- Technical Support I'd like your input on what you think would work well for our needs. In general, I think it should be limited to 4 or 5 catagories, and then keep it to no more than 5 root forums per category. Here's a proposal to give a starting point. Welcome to The West Pacific- Information and Introduction Center- General Discussion The West Pacific Cultural Center- Department of the Interior- The ClubHouse- Events- Role Play World Assembly- Office of the Delegate (protected)- World Assembly Affairs- World Assembly Resolutions and Proposals Government- Regional Assembly and Disassembly (legislature)- The West Pacific Armed Forces *The SOBs*- TWP Foreign Affairs -- Embassy Row- The Holy Ordo and Church of TWP (Judicial) Maintenance & Support- Information Releases- Technical Support Edited March 20, 2013 by Westwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAO Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I am up for a changing ... but it will have to wait until later in the week when I have enough time to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Works for me, thank ye. *tips hat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Likewise, but I'd like to see TWP Foreign Affairs as the root forum and Embassy Row as the subforum. And are we officially the SOBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, inverting the FA/Embassy configuration is fine with me. And we're officially The West Pacific Armed Forces, but I'm open to changing that. Perhaps the SOB's and The Company are separate platoons of the Army...

God-Emperor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 When the roll call is complete, we'll see where we land. I'd like to see more than five nation before we seperate into teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Instead of separating into teams, the name used could depend upon what type of mission we're deploying on. The Warriors for a Liberation, the SOBs for a Raid, The Reapers for funeral missions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Unfortunately, yes, I think that's an excellent idea. The name is what they'll say 'bout use when we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 May even give the illusion of their being more of us than there are to the causual observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Unless the casual observer reads this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Unlikely. Their attention span is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 True, and this forum is so inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Then there's the other top secret forum where we carry out the real business of the region...... Oh wait, I wasn't suppose to mention that, eh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Perhaps put Forum Games into The Clubhouse. Crazy Slots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Slots Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Perhaps put Forum Games into The Clubhouse. I think that this idea has a fair amount of merit. By having less OOC forums, you put more focus on your government forums, but at the same time you don't waste any space. OOC forums are worth having, of course, but in this case the forums have similar purposes and combining them would also make them look larger than two moderately sized forums.

Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Are you meaning to have the Forum Game as a sub-forum of The ClubHouse, or simply host all the forum game in The ClubHouse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Host the game in The Clubhouse - unless there are good reasons to do otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 *nods* Works for me. Hmmm.....*I tawt I taw a puddy tat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I like the proposed arrangement, especially all of Government being in one place. *I did, I did taw a puddy tat!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Do you think that having 'Department of the Interior' under Culture rather than under Government works okay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yes, government is about forum and in game whilst a department of interior could only really work on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks I've edited the first post to switch the FA/Embass Row and removed the separate Forum Games forum. Question: Is the order of the Catagories alright ? Perhaps Government should be above World Assembly ? Also....the naming of the catagories are open to alternatives if there are any preferences. (ie, instead of The West Pacific Cultural Center, perhaps "The Tweedy Center for the Arts in TWP" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feux Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yes, government is about forum and in game whilst a department of interior could only really work on the forums. That's not nesscessily true. Lazarus' internal department handles all regional council affairs as well as citizenship and council rosters. It can be a very extensive department at times. But I like it.

Westwind Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 That's true, Interior is usually part of the government and often includes duties such as mentoring and recruiting. First time I served as an Interior Mininster in '04, I was also responsible for sending tg's to all inregion nations every few days to keep them up on happenings (and attempt to lure more of them to the forum). Sure wish we had mass tg's back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I didn't consider that, so I take it back. TWP has no need for recruitment, though, so what else could come under Interior that isn't covered by the Government? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
