Eh, just a random thought but what are the chances that my proposal of a Universal Traits list getting approved? Before you say no right away, here's a bit of info on it that's in my head: -Universal Traits list = something that well is universal... Just a simple very basic list of traits (nothing special) for people that are say lazy or don't want to think up a trait for their RPCs. And example would be: Since one of my rpc, Layla has the power of teleportation and I'm under the impression that this teleportation without traits does not allow the user to teleport items away from them without a trait and I'm sure a lot of people in the future that wants this would have to app for the trait, why not make it a universal trait that almost any teleporters can acquire? -Yes I'm aware it will be a lot of work so here's the second thought. Allow other users to app for a trait and whether they want to make it public or not is up to them. This one doesn't need explanation, it's the same as the Private or Public part of the app for Powers. Also naturally, those with private powers wouldn't need to care about the private/public section for their traits. -Lastly, even with this universal list, people still would have the option to create unique traits for their RPCs. Eh, I don't think I need to explain this one do I? (Actually this one is an obvious...) Random info: Eh, this idea came from something Zau said on my trait app lol~ Edited by Nichijou, Feb 26 2012, 12:50 AM.

Hrm... Interesting idea. I'm not sure of it as it does bring out the issue of uniqueness and whatnot. But maybe if we shifted this around a bit it could become a workable idea? What if we had a thread dedicated to helping people think up traits/where to go with their powers? People can make requests on it and someone can contact them via pm and help generate ideas with them. This way people still are creative but get help along the way. |

Oooh that maybe could work? Well mine was just a random idea that I got after reading something Zau said to me xP though thinking back now, I had a bit of a hard time thinking of a trait too so either one would probably work. Just depends on how well it would since I get this feeling that this forum puts as much emphasis as possible on uniqueness |

Both are good ideas. There ARE some traits that simply would be obvious, like a telekinetic being able to lift heavier things, a teleporter being able to lessen the exhaustion...etc. The issue I have with a list of global traits is length-every power would have it's own list of potential traits...and we have a LOT of powers. The allowance of them to be public or private though is a possibility. ~~~ As for the suggestion/request thing, I'd rather that not be a staff-driven thing. You can do your own individual "Request a Trait" threads, if you'd like, but I don't want it to be a standard feature of the site. Our job is to moderate other people and their apps-not to do their apps for them. There's also the issue of application once those traits come up-should a mod approve a trait that he thought up for someone else? Obviously, he doesn't have an issue with said trait, since it's his own idea...yea, I'd rather that not be a staff thing, and more a user thing. |

The one thing I don't like with the public or private option is that some people might try to make some traits private that are kind of ridiculous Because once enough trait ideas are made for a power, it's going to be really tough to be able to even make a trait if all of those other ideas were labeled as private. Yeah I can see what you're saying Zaulyl, maybe I'll create a trait request thread but it's basically whoever wants to help them can

Or no traits should be private. Even if everyone develops their own power according to their own individual RPC, there is bound to be some crossover, even in the more obscure/specific areas. This is supposed to be a, for the most part, restrictionless RP. Right? Why add an unnecessary complication of private and public traits? |

I agree to a certain extent. I do think that some very unique traits should be able to be copy righted. Though for the most part, I think all traits should be public, just the person has to write up their own version of a trait. |

Well yes, but that should be only in a few circumstances and left up to mod discretion, not something put on the trait profile upon creation. |

I kind of like this idea, but it definitely would be a lot of work, considering the amount of powers, and the traits branching off of it... The sheer mass is kind of frightening to think about Hahah xD But I disagree with making all of the traits public thing. I, for one, would not enjoy that. I wouldn't want some person just scrounging through trait threads and go "Wow, this looks fun" copy, paste, change a few words to make it slightly different, and then bam! Of course, with every power comes the obvious traits. But there are ones that are extremely unique, using a triat I am going to give my technopath at some point as an example, if someone took that idea from me without asking me first and just went with it, my anger problems would surface and I would wanna kill someone, Lol but really, that is the only trait idea that I have that comes to mind in that way. I have another one for her that is very interesting, that I randomly thought of, and is quite unique. But it is also, at the same time, something that I wouldn't care at all if another technopath took, as it is more general and whatnot.(Reading that it would have been simpler to say, I second Vieled on that one! Hahah xD) But that would be anotehr thing, that if we went with this idea, that the mods would have to watch. Because as people have said, when it comes to a telekenetic lifting heavier things, no one is going to get that passed as Private xD So in some ways, this would put anotehr thing the mods have to look over and possibly argue with some random person about, etc. Deffs something to think about though

Eh I cannot construct a sense-making lengthy response. Though I was going to say, if there was a universal trait list, I would like to help out on it but well... Whatever goes~ (Kind of think that maybe both ideas can pass? lol)

If the universal one got passed, I wouldn't mind helping too Lol xP I am good at the organizing part of it anyways, coming up with the universal traits maybe not so much x) Bahahah! |
