Refining The Forum Layout

[disorganizer]

We should move election and nomination threads out of there though after the elections this term are over. Will there be any threads stickied in the government forum except the indexes? If no, i would leave it that way ;-) This would also give cities the chance to "flip on top".

At the moment, the census stats and the maps are also sticky in the main forum. I think this will be needed because there will be almost no "discussion" and with that new posts there, though there will be very "attracting" infomation in those threads... but maybe it is just mho.

The census is an office so should go with the offices. There's no critical need for that to be a sticky in the main forum. Or are you talking about the citizen registry?

 

[disorganizer]

i think the census office is split: a discussion thread (clearly an office) and a statistics thread (like the map-thread of the cartographic office and its office thread).
i talked about the statistics thread and not the office thread (sorry it wasnt clear enough).

 

[Shaitan]

Not convinced that needs to be stuck in the main forum though. It's not critical info or necessary for turn play.

Anyway...we can deal with that later. We need to firm up the base layout. Is everybody happy with the current proposal? To recap, the main forum goes from:

• Intro Thread / Meta Index
• Constitution
• Judicial Log
• Citizen Registry
• Needed Stuff
• Maps (Geographic Society)
• Nomination index (seasonal)
• Turn Chat threads
• Election threads (nominations, polls)
• Only mods should open threads here. A through G are sticky.

To:

• Intro Thread / Meta Index
• Game Critical Thread Index (Indexes chat/statistics, constitution, Judicial Log and Map threads)
• Citizen Registry
• Needed Stuff
• Nomination index (seasonal)
• Maps (Geographic Society)
• Constitution
• Judicial Log
• Turn chat schedule/instruction thread index/statistics thread
• Turn chat threads
• Election threads (nominations, polls)
• Only mods should open threads here. A through E are sticky.

The Offices Index/Registy and threads plus the Cities Index/Registry and threads will move from the RPG forum to the government forum.

I helped muddy this by creating a statistics thread in the main forum, but not an office/discussion thread in the Citizen's forum. I'm going to wait a few days until this is clear, but as long as the census office and reports threads are intuitively accessible, where they are is less important.

@Shaitan:
i believe you also meant the offices and cities threads move to government forum too ;-)

and:
maps=cartographic office ;-) the geographical society is g1!

 

[disorganizer]

That's just a terminology change. I'll fix it before the Rules are updated.
