Character Sheet

Before actually doing the Character Sheet (with Google Docs), I thought I'd list all the variables here so I don't miss something and have to rethink the layout. Feel free to add your suggestions.

Should we have both player names and character names?

Should we have both player names and character names?

I thought about that.

For me it would sound a bit weird because our forum names are already "characters" in a sense. Then again some forum names,like a bunch numbers, would be extremely unsuitable for this event.

I don't know...

Just looking at things from a story point, if we have the same player names as forum names, then every single time that player plays they play the same person.

E.G, Gl1tch from war 1 says hello to Gl1tch from war 5.  Plus, if characters who do well remain in the environment, there will be dopplegangers running around.

At the same time, forum/player names get pretty confusing, and most of the time forum names are used anyway.

What do you mean by Job? To me it sounds like it could be either added in the quest part, or in the title part.

Also, I don't think people should be able to see all the Personal Sheets. Maybe the Element Leader can see the Sheets of the people in that element, and everybody not a leader can only see his own.

I might be slow but I don't get this. What do you mean?

Job was something I added during a moment of madness. It's a kind of brainstorming which will probably be removed.

I guess my idea was to let people have jobs. When you go offline for a while, your character goes do that job, generating revenue for you.

I would keep it to just forum names. It'll quickly start getting confusing otherwise.

If I am understanding this right, each player gets their character sheet and it's posted in "X" forum. Now, not completely knowing how the forums are setup for it's members, would it be possible to delegate some of the maintenance of the character sheets to the respective leaders or representatives of each element and lock it for all others except to mods?

As for the sheet itself, might also want to add "Quests Completed" so there are no repeats or abuses on one-time quests.

Alright, so it goes like this.  Team fire wins war 1, and their master "kevkev" gets  an honorary title in game.  Then, when world 2 comes around, is "kevkev" still fighting, or is kevkev's character a different person, also named "kevkev".  What about when war 5 happens?

[Kuross]

I'd say players would pick different names for their characters, not their forum names. Then if, and when, people do something that get's their character's name added into the world, there can be an updated timeline, or some other journal, showing who's name that belongs to so credit can be given that everyone can see and have access to.

Yeah.. still not getting what you mean. WoE and War are totally separate events, if that helps at all?

Like Daxx already said, it would get confusing pretty fast if everyone had two names. Apart from role-playing reasons, I see no point in having two names. But like I say there above, I don't quite understand the issue here.

I think what Gl1tch is saying is if we move the time line ahead after each WoE, by say 30 years, and Kevkev was got his name added in the annuls of history in the 1st WoE, how do work around a situation where he shows up 60 years later in the 3rd WoE? Same person, same name.

Also, to be quite blunt, there are some silly forum names that should never make their way into a serious storyline. Example, "all hail Lord 9270984!" Would be interesting to see how we'd rationalize a character's great deed when their name is "Evil Hamster."
