I had suggested a cap on cabins earlier in the week, because I feel a couple cabins are favored the most. Not just here but other PJ sites as well [i.e. Minors or Apollo]. We want variety in the board so I think a set limit could help. A reasonable number for the regular Olympians, a lesser number for Big Three, and a bit of a higher number for Minors.
Also, I would like to suggest that having multiple Cabin Leaders seems kinda...much. ^^; I honestly feel, that one would suffice. Unless more members join and the numbers grow larger, it seems better that way. And I don't feel that just anyone can be a CL. There should be a set standard or pre-requisite to becoming a CL. People who are more dedicated and active are more likely to get those spots rather than newer members who RP for about a week and then just disappear. If people feel they are up to the task, they can nominate themselves via PM and staff can hold a poll vote to determine who the CL will be.
^^ This system works out on the other CHB site I help mod so just a little suggestion on my part.

I agree with Dawn's Cabin Leader suggestions. It doesn't make sense for cabin's to have multiple leaders and that one per cabin should be plenty. Maybe keep two the Minor cabin if it continues to be the largest but we definately don't need three leaders fror one cabin. I like Dawn's ideas of nominating letting the staff vote on the best character.

hey wow that is epic Pika As for the leaders, there were five spaces open per cabin, which is what Mr. D wanted at first. Thane and I understand that five is a little too much and agree that one or two would be great. We have to run this by Mr. D who has not been around for a bit (the log ins are me on his account just so you know) but when we do we'll check back. Thank you so much for the roster and suggestions. I'll get it all up when I can. I'm fighting a bit of a headache now though but I should be good soon

Just had this little idea a moment ago. I don't know how many actual "teachers" and "classes" that are available, but perhaps we could get some kind of list with instructors and the classes they offer? And perhaps there could be an application if someone wants to teach a class. They could fill it out and it would have to be accepted by either you or Mr. D before it can actually become a class. I know going to actual "class" isn't a huge priority on a site just because one class would take like... forever to complete with all the students and everything, just thought it would help in case someone felt like joining up in one :3
Just a thought! :3

We can get an activities list up soon. That's up to Chiron Joke. In the books Chiron was activities director. There was a list of camp activities on the site that I will have to find. Teachers are not necessarily... necessary, but if any campers want to teach a class they are welcome to. If any campers want to have a teacher, there can always be spots for teacher characters. Thanks for the idea

Ok sorry to intrude again XD I saw someone (I'm pretty sure it was Pika) mention this and I think it's a great idea. How about a Face Claim board? Just makes life easy. Its up to you guys, though :3 I don't think we have any doubles, but it keeps the problem from arising :3 Just a thought!

Hey Viv thanks for the great suggestion. The admin team and I have discussed a face claim list before, but unfortunately we have yet to ever really come to a decision. We do not actually promote face claims in case there are some new members who choose not to have one, but we of course allow them. So I am not sure if a list would be helpful, but I can see where it would be >.<

I was just wondering if it would be possible to change to color of the links on the top of the pages right above the threads. I don't know about everyone else but it seems like no matter what background I use I can't seem to see the links right above the threads.
Just another idea here for the faceclaims. It could still work for those that don't use real people too. If they're using a certain anime person or something then it would provide an easy way to prevent duplicates that way also.

You are correct about the face claims Trevor We never necessarily specified specifically for celebrities, although the most common face claim is one. Hopefully there will be no conflict now with the list up. As for the thread links... are you referring to the links that look a little like: ``Camp Half-Blood :: Out of character department :: the loft :: site suggestions? If so I see them the same color as the font is. Then again I am specifically on the Valentine's Day Skin and will check out any other skins. If not I am sorry for confusing your problem up >.<

No that's the right part that I was talking about. I haven't tried out different skins though. But the one I'm using right now seems to do it.

Hm that's odd. I think we are using the same skins... I wonder why it works differently. What browser do you use?

I use Explorer at work and Safari at home, but I'm not sure if I have the same problem at home. Although it seems related only to certain skins. I've changed the skin I was using and with the new one I can see that section.

hm. I am sorry about that Trevor. I wish I knew why it was acting the way it was. >.< Were you on the Percy Jackson Dark skin to start?

Maybe a plot/quest suggestions thread? I know I've always got ideas for major plotting and whatnot, so I'm sure the other members have ideas too. Besides, after the rebel plot, there's sure to be stuff to do around camp, and quest ideas and stuff will eventually be useful. :]

If you want to have a plot suggestion thread we can put one up or just place them here. Feel free to PM (I'll get to yours in a sec) and also post int he plotting thread. If it doesn't have a mass impact, you can have a plot going on called a mini plot with some friends of yours. There's a board to start that. As for quests, we're almost finished up with one so we'll have room for more and we'll ask for suggestions. I'll make a suggestion thread in the actual board for future reference.

Hey Guys,
I have a few suggestions so I'll start off from what I have on the top of my head.
1. Headers &&. Footers
I tend to have the opinion that if we make the main header and footers into the global headers and footers. That way it squeezes the main text box so it looks a little neater and less spread out. This one I'm not sure if it was talked about before, but I'm just going to throw it on out there.
2. Magical Items
I'm not sure if this is ever adressed or not, but I'd like to see a system to regulate the items so we know who has what. In the books I know that these items can be a real game changer in certain deadly situations. Perhaps there can be some sort of cost to having an item?
3. Cabin Leaders
In my opinion here I think that the cabin leaders should revolve around activity as well. Cabin leaders could not only be a title, but a person to ask about the cabin for questions if need be. Also, if a member has been inactive for some time, I would suggest a transfer of the title to an active member. Perhaps there can be some sort of thread to audition for the position via RP sample?
4. Staff Display
In honesty I really don't know who exactly the staff members are, if there was a side table with the staff members listed, I think other new members might appreciate that. I know I would.
And that's all I got for now. I hope that I wasn't trying to order anything done, these are suggestions after all. >_>
- Jack

You can always ask a cabin leader questions. They do change leaders if the current one is inactive but sometimes there's no one in that cabin to change to. There have been some leader changes in the past days/weeks. As for now, if you want a position which is open or the leader has been inactive for a while, you may PM Echoe. And you can always challenge for a leader position that is taken, but for some of them it might be hard to win. There was a list which showed the usernames of the staff members, but now staff members have a special icon in front of their name. The helmet. There's a camp legend with all the different icons. Current staff members are Mr. D, Ari Nicole Echoe, Thane Scifier, Levi Faollan and I. Just look for the helmet in front of the names

Hey thanks for the suggestions Jack! We really appreciate your input. And thank you also Jace for responding. I concur to his responses: Cabin Leaders are the most active campers. You can PM for a challenge if you believe you are more fit to be a cabin leader. Those who become inactive and no one wants to replace, remain leaders. All icons left of the name have a key which you can follow. I know this can be frustrating. I can consider putting up a staff listing again since it may be needed. As for your others, we have considered putting the main headers and footers into the global but we decided against because of the slowER loading that would result from all that code. Some campers have slower computers and at least everything but the main page is RELATIVELY quick (but not exactly ). Magical items are addressed in a scattered way. We don't actually have a system that works yet. Currently staff approve whether or not campers may have a magical item through their applications. We DO have a wiki page which lists the magical camp items that are for general use such as the dragon eggs, rings, and mythomagic cards. Any campers who wish to add to this list is allowed to do so. Maybe if you have some ideas as to how we can make a better system, let us know Thank you for your input. It is much appreciated.

Hiya. I have some suggestions for this forum xD
- Can the campers have journals to keep their memories in? I mean, probably a separate board, and then the students can create new threads, and decorate it with headers and footers, pictures, and paragraphs. So, they can keep track of what is happening at camp.
- Also, it would be cool if they had archives - it is sort of similar to an application, only a bit more informative, so that you can learn more about the character, their history, their family, their origin, etc.
- Lastly, I suggest the cabins can have mailboxes. LOL. Since, they can't have phones and whatnot. You can send mail to mortal parents/family, or even your friends from different cabins.
Thank you :][/font][/size]

Hey! Thanks for the suggestions! Campers currently DO have journals Just check out the character maps. As for an extension of your profile, you can check out our wiki page: www.campolympians.wikia.comThe mailbox idea sounds wicked! How would you suggest we set this up?

Post by Arceus Gray on Jul 17, 2011 15:39:40 GMT -8
Nice. I didn't know they had journals xD
Well, about the mailbox idea, maybe you can create a separate board/category (whichever one works xD) labeled "Mailbox" for it (and maybe separate threads/sub-boards, which will be the letters, for it as well, whichever you prefer)[/size][/font]
