Character Sheet

[Scaredgirl]

@SG, I'm not suggesting any spreadsheet method. Quest is always "Kill the Evil King". Of course, I wont be on the either organizing side of quests or playing side of quests, so... yeah. I'm fine with whatever you guys decide.
I was also under the impression that organizers will follow that kind of data (have their own data on who did which quest already), to prevent "problems".

It is settled then.

After thinking about it some more, I think that a 3-digit code would be very useful for organizers because they can instantly identify the type, difficulty level and place in the "quest chain". So yeah, we should definitely have that. But like I said, having players type in these codes, or even showing them the codes, would be unnecessary.

Lets go with that and see what happens. It's easy to change later if needed.

yup, but on a lighter note: I finished a reconstruction on the beta CS (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AokbSsM9MdkzdEl3aE9xSTZBLTBkRHRlelZETzNPQUE&hl=en&authkey=CNeW9aAE)
New features:
-Personal Card Vault tab
-[slightly] Improved Layout
-Skills tab
-New form (https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEl3aE9xSTZBLTBkRHRlelZETzNPQUE6MQ) (please don't submit anything or it will cause problems)

That "reconstruction" looks a lot like my version of the Character Sheet. In fact, it is my version of the Character Sheet.

I appreciate your help, but I'll probably finish the Character Sheet myself. Apart from some minor tweaks, it's pretty much finished already. You can of course give suggestions and I'll listen, but I'm trying to say that it's better to have beta version of the Character Sheet in one place and make changes to that, rather than having almost identical versions of it all over the place and confuse everyone.

This is the current beta version: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16613.0.html where I will add stuff as it comes along. All others are not the current beta version.

Sounds good to me.
EDIT: I've been thinking a lot about this now, but how do we want the player to interact with his character sheet? I know that the manager of that element along with the organizers will be able to edit it manually, but I feel like there should be more connection between the player and his CS.
Ideas?

The reason I thought it would be a good idea to let the player do the edits, is that it means less work for organizers.

But if we have a separate "Player Vault" with all the cards (edited by the player), I guess we could have a system where the organizers do all the edits in player Character Sheets. But with stuff like XP and electrum, I fear it might be too much work for the organizers. Just imagine you organize 20 Character Sheets and have to do these minor edits to all of them many times a week.

ya, let's have the player do it

You know, I've been wondering something.  Does the "Title" have any use outside of lore?

now that you mention it....I don't think so 
We could have it serve a different purpose however?

[Scaredgirl]

The title could be for example "King" which would mean that you are the King of that element, therefore it does definitely have a use outside the lore.

We could also have titles that are just for lore purposes. For example if you do a quest where you rescue a cat, you might get a title of "Saviour of Cats". That title would serve no real purpose and would only be for fun.

Oh boy, I can't wait until this comes out.

I find it fantastic that I have to load the character sheet and the skill sheet through the slow detour of a VPN because GoogleDocs is blocked by the Great fireWall of China.

Not expecting a change, nor do I think a change is necessary. Just putting it out there.

Actually, I can't see them even with my favorite browser proxy, sneakme.net

I'm sure SG will be able to help you there as she most likely encounters the same problems.

In the meantime, I can throw it together in BBCode if you wish? It will be a very crude reproduction, but nonetheless a reconstruction.

Hmm, yeah, it'd be nice to read what everyone's so hyped up about, but I hope getting a VPN (i'll probably get one when I meet my over-protective bro and let him punch in the super-secret details of his VPN account) will solve my issues before the war.
If not, i'm wondering if I'm going to have to tell everything I want to change to a mod who'll personally change what I want and then send back a non-google-doc hard copy. ^^;;
(lol, jk, a soft copy on teh intrawebz would be good enough)

Ok patchx94, I decided that a BBCode table would simply not work. So I took a picture of the spreadsheet for you instead. I put it into a spoiler (below). There's a bit of whitespace off to the right as well.
