This is my first topic, so I can only hope that I can do this right.
This topic is for game designs or mechanisms that haven't been thought out fully or cover far more topics then what C&I stipulate is acceptable. The Purpose of this thread is to refine the ideas into a more concise, eloquent and informative format. On top of this, break down ideas into individual topics allowing people to state their mind then following through with polishing from help.
I've done a few searches and it seems nobody has broached the topic of sorting out ideas since at least last year, I believe taking a fresh start on this might be good for the overall of the forums.
In short this Topic can be thought of as the 'mouth' before reaching C&I making the new topics much easier to digest.
Now most topics have a few rules, so I think some should be put here;
1;Mechanisms that jeopardize the nature of the game would probably be overlooked, So it probably wouldn't make much point discussing.
2;Working on an idea prior to submitting it would be wise, a well thought out and balanced idea would outweigh something someone envisioned.
3;Keep in mind your idea may be subjected to change, this doesn't have to be a bad thing. Just be sure to accept or reject it as is and don't start a war over it.
4;The ultimate goal of any discussion here, is to make something(s) worth posting at C&I that can be read and understood easily.
Some proof readers and word weavers would be appreciated if they participated in this endeavor, the sleeker and more stylish the better the ride.
I'd normally take this chance as OP and throw up a cascade of my own ideas, but I've done that before. I feel this would be better suited to help other people formulate their overall ideas rather then promote my own.
Not everyone here speaks English, so helping people with a good idea out with a few lingual adaptations mind you, would streamline the process I believe.
I would also be learning better sentence structure, allowing me to elaborate on my own ideas later.
Before the mods condemn this thread though, I would like to debate in it's defense.
As it is now, the C&I section is wrought with a lot of vague ideas about varied subjects. Some people are even unsure what it is that they want, just that it be something better. In this format it makes if difficult to express oneself without breaking at least one rule here or there.
I create this Topic in order for maintenance of the C&I to be much less of a burden.
If I am wrong in doing this, please describe how so that we may be able to coordinate a compromise.
Thank you in advance.
Well, I don't want to build this wall too high. So I declare the Anvil & Hammer open for suggestions!
Till our... first, discussion.
