Okay, here's some things that I wanted to punt around: -The titles are getting a little bit old, and we have enough non-staff that we actually see them now. Any ideas on what to do for themes with the titles? I'm thinking ORP villain themes, though I might go with PRP themes instead. Or Mafia. Or Exodus themed overall. And if somebody could dredge up the half-balls of the Snitz, I think I might use those instead of the Stars. Maybe.
-I'd like a full list of all major Pokeschool/Exodus/Charms members to start for me to work on Exodus the game again. Maybe I'll start a topic for it. Bonus points if we can divide the groups into Noobs and Members. I've got some ideas, personally, for the main cast, but that'll show up later.
-How would people feel about a help forum dedicated just to answering specific questions? You know, something along the lines of stuff that has no topic space in the present day, like Math Help, Science Help, and so on and so forth. It would be helpful with school coming up, but might be a little bit too niche to warrant a forum.

- ORP villain? What do you mean by that? PRP theme might seem a little too Pokecentric for some peoples' tastes, and I know there are stupid doodyfaces who oppose Mafia. Exodus themed overall sounds the best bet, but I can't imagine what the titles would be...
- 001) Pohatu
- We'd need to know that there are people who are actually good in those fields. I for instance am totally useless at math and science and almost every other academic pursuit, although I'm always good for an English proofread.

1) I didn't really read it
2) Hello.
3) I agree, since I'm alright at advice as far as academic things go. Just don't ask me to be able to spell.

1: ORP villains would be something like: Starting, Peon, and then Henchman, and then starting to rise in power and influence until you reached stuff like "Kul'tathen Leader", "Emperor of the Summoners", etc. Exodus themed would be "n00blet", "Spambot", and so forth up to "Almost as Cool as Photu" at like 10,000 posts. 2: Of course. You know, being PROTAGONISTS and all in the last one. 3: Cinders is superb with math, I'm solid with most science (barring Physics, which is more math than anything), I'm sure that we've got enough savvy gents to do a Fashion Advice topic, and other such things.

I like the Exodus theme. It's silly, which is good.
And obviously, I would take CS problems like they were my submissive partner.

I do psychology, drama, science and English. I'm alright at them all too.

Also, I think the vast majority of people here can help with English. Excerpt from a conversation between V and I:
Me: I remember back when I first started RPing. I wanted to be a writer when I grew up back then. V: I think WE ALL wanted to be writers back then.

I'll do fashion advice. And Psychology, which is great fun. Maybe bits of Theater too.

Mm. And as a bonus, we've got various people who excel at various things. BB is a master of pacing, Photu of phrase, and myself of interconnecting and overarching plots. And that's just three of us. You bring in DL, Choobs, Kara, and El and we could blow entire editting teams out of the water.

Oh no, I don't have the patience to read people's stories. Besides, I'd spend most of my time changing short sentences into multiple clauses. It just wouldn't work - Photu would murder me for it.

Or, more likely, I'd murder you for calling me "Phatu".

Post by Yoshimitsu on Aug 10, 2008 23:07:45 GMT -5
It would help that when I go to change "Pohatu" into "Photu" that I deleted the right letters. Now do you understand why I'd be no good at editting texts?

I don't even really enjoy the name "Photu" terribly.

ch00bs, I'm a little weirded out that you remembered that conversation and quoted it here.
I'm not really, though. I can embrace sketchiness when appropriate (also when inappropriate!).
But yes, I know just everything there is to know (almost) about English. I would love to help everyone out.
Because I'm helpful, and way crazy smart.

Photu, though, is a non-copyrighted name, thus making it much better for original properties. Though I can't sell Exodus the Game, when I make "Exodus: The Animated Series", that'll sell like hotcakes. Seriously, I'm never going to do that. Don't even consider asking me, because I will not spend hours in GIF Maker making a movie 10 people will watch.

I could say that Trillian logs all my conversations, which is why i remember things.
But I'd rather be sketchy and say, "Oh V, baby, I remember everything you say."
Oh V, baby, I remember everything you say.

Omg do people still use Trillian like legit?
I know, AIM logs all of my conversations. I must only talk to you at really weird hours, though, because I don't remember too many of our conversations that aren't,
Me: "Hey, go see my friend's band play in Atlanta!"
You: "No, I don't like to have fun."

Well we don't talk super often. And I forgot about all those conversations that were like,
Me: "Hey, go see my friend's band play in Atlanta!"
You: "No, I don't like to have fun."
But yeah, I use Trillian legit. Word.

I like the idea of the help section. Although help from me in Math? Wow.... No..> No one is that stupid.... I'm haven't even learned my numbers and I watch my post count..... But I'm good with history *dodges thrown objects while people grumble about almost everyone present being at least ok with it* and I'm pretty decent with general life advice.... Although I think most people would rather ask that stuff in a PM than state their problems for all to see, some things are "better left private" and what now..... (Also I think most people wouldn't come to me since I'm not as well known as others)
But with help forums we branch out even more, which may cause some more people to join. Long shot? Kinda, but still it could bring in a couple, and they might join in other things too.

Actually, you'd be surprised. Since our group is so close knit, really, we don't have much issues with dealing with eachother almost like good friends. So a personal advice section would see people saying things, I'm sure. Maybe not tooooo personal, but you know. And yeah, that's the cool thing about our group. You might be weak in math, but Cinders, IIRC, is training to be a math teacher some day, and if one of us is weak in social studies, you can fill that gap. We're diverse enough to cover almost any bases.
And I don't know about getting more members, but it might help us retain more newbies. Things like that... and EP *kicks self* are little bonuses that help people feel privileged and like part of something special. That makes it much easier to commit to our boards.

Social studies as in an actual subject? o.O

So, what topics should we have? Since it will be a sort of set feature, it'll be Staff only can create topics. I'm thinking: Math Science Literature Languages History Fashion Relationships Social Computer Locating (helping eachother find songs/images/files online. Risky, but could be VERY useful.)
