[✗] Activating and Deactivating Implemented Lore

[Swgrclan 2632]

I would like to introduce a simple system that would prevent player-made work put into concepts from being wasted by inactivity, under whatever circumstance, which would lead to utter removal. It involves three key terms: activation (active lore), deactivation ("dormant" lore), and the most minor of the three, revision.

The system itself is intended to preserve player and staff made lore depending on the context of the implemented lore in question. Active lore is lore that is both implemented and moderated either by staff or players, with the term mostly presiding over lore based on certain creatures or magics. Dormant, or otherwise inactive, lore is reserved for implemented concepts that have lost activity or recognition among players, often in the same boat as active lore in the fact it's a term reserved for magic or creature lore. Lore dedicated to more existential, cosmic or historical aspects of LoTC canon, like how magic overall works in the realms, how dieties work, what the sun is, or the historical recordings of the wizard Availer are only subject to revision, of which is, in fact, based on revising the implemented concepts, but not removing them entirely.

The following list is a collection of examples of which term would suit which kind of lore--

Dormant Lore (some are examples and are just inactive, not removed);

Now, active lore is just that - active lore. It's lore allowed to be explored and utilized by players under the jurisdiction of the LT, as the listed lore is plentifully populated by dedicated players. Dormant lore, however, is lore that is inactive, and under the choice of the collective LT, may be subject to deactivation -- where lore is made unplayable by players and set aside under a group of players come and request for it's reactivation so they, themselves, may make the inactive lore once again active under their dedication. No removal takes place, however, and all dormant lore remains cemented in LoTC canon; simply unable to be accessed until reactivation.

As said before, this system can prevent the removal of creative or innovative concepts implemented in the server, of which may also could have left a good impression IC and OOC on the server populace. It also gives a chance to reinvigorate these concepts by those willing to take up such a task in the place of those before.

Thoughts?

I'll move your lore to the top of the list for your lip

Mhm, yup, very nice Swgr, very nice indeed

Liches aren't inactive, Gravens aren't inactive, Wraiths aren't inactive, Blood Magic isn't inactive.

 

EDIT: The Vourukh are event creatures, I don't see why they'd need removal.

Those are examples of what could be inactive lore - magic lore and creature lore. The same is for the active list. I could have put actually inactive lore in the active list, but just focused on making an example and outlining the variables. It doesn't mean any of the lore follows the context of their exemplary term in this thread.

Mysticism is keeping Gravens active and I know Slice is active with the Wraiths. Tau is also taking in a few students to build Blood Magic up again.

Aight, my bad then.

If the processes by which lore was moved around in these segments was also publicized to the players, sure.

Of course.

[Archbishop 1781]

If we have another situation where you don't even bother to tell the players who play/played within a certain lore and remove it for the sake of removing it, -1. If you actually are like "Hey get this active or you have the possibility of being deactivated" sure, but that don't include something like what happened with the halflings.

Ain't seen a Wraith, Lich, or Graven in a long while. Especially Wraiths. I would consider them to be significantly inactive.

no offense but when is the last time someone has seen you on the server for more than an hour tsuyose, when you were a gm??????

 

inactivity plagues all of the administration, and loremasters/mats barely rp out of their cliques minus a few of them- how do they know who is active or not????

The real questions.

 

(no offense to any administrators or gms was meant in this post please do not ban me fms)

 

I also heavily disagree with removing LoTC's lore and history because it's not in use.

I really don't need folk clogging this thread up with stuff only marginally relevant to the proposal offered in the fact that my examples were pointed out as legitimate cases of active, inactive, or revisit able lore. Nothing in these exemplary lists indicate actual activity, inactivity, or revisionable necessity in all links displayed, and all links posted, as said before, are examples of what could be active, inactive, or revisionable pieces of lore. Jesus Christ.

 

Focus on the main points, please.
