Concerning newbs and skills

March 4, 2006 9:58:42 AM

We have to deal alot with newbies who in their bios are god.
Slicer
Bounty hunter
Fast
Strong

The list can go on forever.

Cant we set up a point system form for them?
Example:
They get to spend 20 points on various skills.

The only way they can gain a point is to write a story(spec stories), which then has to be judged. When they pass, they earn a point. And etc.

It would control the power a bit I think, as well as giving people a reason to write spec stories.
It may actually keep the recruits here, instead of seeing them fade.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
Except, I start with 50 points ok?

Thats the problem

I was thinking for the army guys, they can earn their points by the spec stories they passed.

But for the navy I dont have any ideas.

Dunno, then it becomes too much like an RPG and less like a novel written by multiple authors. Why don't we just reject more bios? I honestly can't stand RPGs. It'd be really great if there were also some way to force them to read Bio guidlines. Of course i have no idea what the join process is like these days.

Also, i've been here like three years and written maybe four spec stories, all of those prior to the specialty revamp too.

Hard work has a future payoff, laziness pays off now.

Or they can do as I did. Establish stories that validate their alleged skills. I've brought into my stories characters from Angel's past, and even gone into detail about what he had done prior to joining the VE, and will have even more detail after I finish his full biography.

But I guess that's too much to ask of the average noob who thinks he has god like abilities in everything.
