More poll questions
Hey everyone, two more things we'd like community input on:
1) moogle_workshop has a rule that fic featuring original characters will not be given points. But the Final Fantasy MMOs, FFXI and FFXIV, were brought up, and we weren't sure if fic set in the world of those games but featuring player characters rather than the canon NPCs would fall under the original character rule or no. So basically, should FFXI/FFXIV fic set in the game worlds but only featuring original characters be given points? (Note: in either case, fic of that type can definitely be posted, but we're just trying to figure out if they'll be awarded points like other fanfic would be given.)
2) lightofeilia had an idea for ff_minigames based on Munchkin that would actually be, well, more of a community-wide mega-game that would involve fighting monsters and leveling up! We want to know if people would be interested.
From lightofeilia:
All members of the community start out at Level 1. Monsters you kill will give you exp. I will be keeping track of each character's exp. I will either tell you how much exp you have or gained, depending on the responses. I will also inform you when you've leveled up.
Encounters will occur randomly and will occur when a member posts an entry/comment, depending on the probability rate. Not all posts will get an encounter.
To defeat a monster, your "effective" level must be higher than the monsters. Effective levels are calculated by the player's level PLUS item bonuses. (Example: Level 3 lightofeilia has a Buster Sword (Item bonus: +2)= Effective level 5. If I fight a level 3 monster, I win because level 5 > level 3).
Monsters will drop items (for example, the Buster Sword) and higher level monsters will drop higher level stuff (for example, the Nail Bat). I will be taking select monsters/items from every Final Fantasy possible.
If there are people who don't want to play, I will keep track of their names and will not arrange encounters whenever they post. Also, encounters will NOT happen in the team comms, ff_classchange, or ultima_arena so as to not interfere with sorting and competitions.
Every two weeks, points will be awarded to teams who have defeated a set number of monsters in that period.
So would people be interested in seeing Random Encounters throughout this game? Note that the question is for whether you'd like Random Encounters to happen at all. If we do Random Encounters, every member will still have the chance to opt out at any time and not be randomly attacked by monsters.
