[Idea] Add A Mech-Standard Lore Section

[hex37 737]

I'll make this brief, the RP forum eats threads for breakfast, and lore is something that needs to be found quickly, and other people actually, genuinely enjoy reading and reviewing from time to time.

 

 

My suggestion is to add a subforum for mech-standard lore, so they can actually be found in the garbled mess of threads that constitutes the RP forum.

Wasn't this the unofficial lore section before it's removal and was simply butchered horribly?

[Swgrclan 2682]

That is exactly what the unofficial lore-forum was.

but is that a bad thing

[tnoy23 202]

To be honest, it just was really horribly executed. I feel if it was renamed to, say, Mechstandard lore over unofficial lore, it would have worked much better.

Yup yup, agreed.

This is exactly what ULore was meant to be. It even had a load of stickies explaining exactly what it was meant for. Remove it and we're back where we started.

 

The easy solution is thus: Don't write lore at all. RP it.

There's no fun in that

No fun in RP? But the server's an RP server. I don't understand why you'd want to play on a server you don't enjoy, let alone write lore for it.

[hex37 737]

You're twisting words a little, Lago.

 

Set lore for new things allows me to share it with others in a more orderly manner. It makes sense, doesn't confuse onlookers, and reassures those I RP with that, yes, I'm not just pulling random spells out of my ass when in an RP fight. It makes everything smoother.

To be fully honest Lago, I was 100% lost with Ulore until a few days ago when it was removed and explained with literal "This is this." Maybe it was there, but I may have overlooked it or something. If it was a mechstandard lore page, why was it called unofficial lore when it would be much less confusing from my side to just name the section mechstandard lore?

[Lago 2572]

It did have stickies at the top saying what it was and extra stickies saying to read the other stickies.

I just got a great idea for a new type of magic.

Titles speak louder than stickies

Having a Lore Post forum defeats the point of the changes to the lore system. The place for nice stuff for others to read is the RP forum, and the place for proposals for stuff to be done that isn't within the current rules is the Ideas forum. A mechlore forum doesn't achieve much except confuse people as to what mechlore is.
