So Talyafera and I were discussing the Gospels and we came up with some ideas that could make the whole thing be more...fun and tricksy. :3
Since the Gospels are a secretive group, we thought it'd be fun if not only the other characters knew who was a Gospel and who wasn't, but it'd also be fun if the
players also didn't know what character was a Gospel and what players played a Gospel. >:3 In order to do this, we came up with two methods:
1.) The Rank forum is now guest friendly. When you join your Gospel, join them first as a normal Pilot. Fill out your joining form as usual, but of course make sure you don't mention anywhere in it that your character is truly a Gospel. Some time later, fill out the form again joining your Gospel's code-name (as all Gospels have a code-name/secret identity; too dangerous to give out their real identities, yes? :3) but don't fill out any more information than just the name and te rank (Gospel), otherwise you could give your character away! Make sure that when you join your code-name you log out of your account and post as a guest. :3
You can feel free to join false code-names, as well, just to psyche people out. No one will really be able to tell who joined a Gospel and who didn't, and no one will even truly be able to know which code-names are authentic and which are fakes. It's also possible that a Gospel may use multiple names to confuse people, as well. The Messages/Letters/Chats forum is also guest friendly so Gospels can communicate anonymously and, once again, the player also won't be given away. ;3
2.) The other method is that users can register a separate account for their Gospel's code-name. Join your Gospel on the Ranks board as a Pilot under your main account, and then register another account for your Pilot's code-name--but
do not join your code-name on the Ranks board! I've installed a mod so that you may register multiple accounts under a single e-mail, and of course no one can view your e-mails. >:3
After you register the code account, you can join the
Gospel usergroup. There will be a board that only Gospels can post in (ICly), and that can be how plots are organized, as well.
Please note: Gospel code-name accounts should only be used ICly, never OOCly! Even PMs can be conducted ICly! Please make sure to log out of your Gospel accounts after you're done using 'em, as well, so you don't accidentally post anything non-Gospelly under that account and give yourself away. ;3
So those are the two methods! Please feel free to use whichever you like for the time being. We're gonna see which one people like the best.
Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas! <3[/list]
