warden meeting 3.0 (kinda)

[spanning]

hey guys, unofficial warden meeting! by which i mean this is more ironing out some ideas ooc and not so much ic (unless you want it to be... don't let your dreams be dreams). there's a bit that inmate players might find interesting as well towards the end!

first off, some reminders:

• if your warden spends a lot of time in a particular area and has taken on responsibilities there, please post here / on activities / otherwise let a member of the mod team know so we can update that information on the peregrine page
• if you've posted a group activity on the sotg, remember to add it to the actual activities page (which now has SECURITY and a TICKET POOL)!

the mod team is formulating some mini-missions that wardens and paired inmates will be able to take up in the coming weeks, and has also decided to test limited files with the next group of pairings. these will include an inmate's basic info (think general stats like name and age, along with CRIMES). would any wardens like to formally put forward this idea to the navarch?

also, does anyone want to hit any plot beats that rely on inmates committing CRIMES? since we don't want to stymie actual inmate plots before they get off the ground, we should brainstorm ideas for preventable shady behavior and ask inmate players if they'd like to volunteer. this way, wardens can head off some bad behavior early and get development going between wardens and inmates, without interfering with an actual plot. or, you know, maybe someone would like their warden to get screwed over / in trouble / etc (inmates stealing commlinks when 👀). basically, how can we help each other make these things happen!

Thinking about the inmate basic files: they can have that info + be updatable by temp wardens? So they can add each month what they learned about the inmate, etc., for the next warden to reference.

I'm also always up for inmates doing bad shit because this kid has a chip on his shoulder a mile long, out to prove to the inmates that he's not a shrimpy li'l weakling and to prove to the wardens how much he distrusts them. <3

some of the wardens have been passing around info on their inmates to whoever's paired with them next, so i think that would be great to encourage! but i'm not sure how to keep up w the logistics of passing on a single consistent file from one warden to the next outside of command updates 🤔 maybe if inmate players would like to maintain smth like that for their character?

Hmmm good point. Addendums to the Pairing page info? Just thinking in case of inmates who, for whatever reason, might end up with a lot of temp wardens, or had wardens that drop, etc. That info can be around then. But otherwise yeah it can just go in journals maybe, leave it up to people individually.

yeah, it's probably something best left to individual discretion; less pressure that way, too. but if someone keeping that info on their journal wants to link it in their pairing comment, it'd be cool to see it laid out for sure.

For the individual activities on the activities page, do you guys want one comment for everything they're doing or one for each activity?

[spanning]

HMMM good question, one for each activity is probably the easiest to maintain? for you as well, since you can freely delete a single comment and not have to swim through a ton of text to update an activity

[shiftedshape]

Do you want us to reiterate the group activities they're doing in every one?

[spanning]

since that's just a short list, yeah! but don't worry about updating every single one if they change 🤷

that said, if you'd rather lump them all together bc you want to keep them updated, we're cool with that, too. it's more important that the info is there for other players to reference than the pure logistics of it!

okay!!!
