Salem Academy - An American Harry Potter game

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:29:28 GMT

SALEM ACADEMY	Witchcraft is not evil. At least not any more than lighting a votive candle, praying for a sick friend, or carrying a lucky charm is. --Lady Sabrina
	The truth of the matter is that magic exists. It's been right under everyone's noses for centuries, and yet it's been kept secret. The Statute of Secrecy had been threatened, possibly compromised, and for the first time ever, Muggles are about to learn of the existence of witches and wizards.
	Already groups have formed. Groups bent on revealing wizards to the world. Groups bent on covering everything up and keeping it as quiet as it's been. The school's safety has been compromised once before. What's next for the students of Salem Academy?

CLUE: The Game

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:58:48 GMT


.....	Who doesn't love a good mystery? CLUE: The Game is an online RPG in the spirit of the boardgame, Clue, and who-dunnit style dinner parties. Players are asked to create unique, original characters within the given Clue cast names (Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, etc.) and context of the current round. Every round is different, with a new murdered host in a new scenario. A college senior mysteriously dies during Spring Break in St. Bart's, a CEO of a major financial institution collapses on a retreat, residents of a colonial town in 1776 are made to stay within a mile of their homes after a British general has been murdered; the options are endless, the result is never the same. Currently our Host is Hiroshi Fugita, 57, one of the original investors of Nintendo, and has been killed during a weekend holiday at his Sonoma, California estate. Players can choose how they proceed through the story; they are able to know only what their character knows and keep the suspense going, or may read along with the whole game and watch everything unfold. The mystery will remain a mystery exactly as long as you want it to, with clues, conversations, and confrontations building up until your Inspector has solved the crime. CLUE is a fast paced game that encourages lots of interaction, intrigue, and character development as we go along; thusly we do not recommend it for players who are looking for a beginner game.	.....

Marina Asylum

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:32:41 GMT

THE GREETING

Welcome, criminal.

This is the artificial intelligence "Sentience". You have been selected for the Marina Asylum program after a review of exhaustive criteria. Your selection is a direct result of crimes that you have committed in the past or will commit in the future. For the betterment of all species, it is necessary to remove persons of your type from the timeline.

THE ARRIVAL

You've been captured by Sentience, the prison AI, which might have gotten just a tiny bit oversensitive as years of operation began to take their toll. Genocide? That's terrible. Robbery? That could lead to murder. Selfishness? That could lead to cruelty which could lead to ignorance which could lead to criminal negligence.

Maybe you belong here. Maybe you don't. Maybe there are extenuating circumstances. Maybe you haven't even committed these crimes yet.

But you're here now. And Sentience's programming doesn't acknowledge the possibility of mistakes.

THE GAME

you are now under arrest

Dumont3 - An Original Roleplaying Game

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 07:36:07 GMT

DUMONT, CA. A picturesque city set north of the Los Angeles metropolis. With a growing population of 150,000, Dumont is fast becoming a place of prospects and opportunities, as well as one of internal strife.

Though those outside of its borders claim the city is like any other, the denizens within have an altogether different story, one involving dynamics rarely seen in the rest of the United States. Three groups of varying backgrounds and prestige dictate the social, economic, and political structure of Dumont: Adler by the bay, L'Inconnue de la Seine in the forests, and Riesling Industries in between. An oligarchy government, rumors say, one so powerful even the police have lost their hold, the mayor seat eventually existing for puppets and yeasayers.

In 2020, however, the dynamic is quickly shifting toward an imbalance, with two visibly at odds while the third has plans of their own. The police even have a new chief, who seems unusually dedicated to upsetting the status quo. Opportunity and opposition exist on all sides; it would take nothing short of a miracle to stop the inevitable paradigm shift.

Who, then, will seize this chance to overtake the city? Who will fall behind in their race to the top?

BECOME A MOD

The Way Things Work

This community is set up so that each community has a maximum of one post up at a time. This way a player can go through the entire community and find a game they want without ever seeing the same ad twice. In addition I go through every couple months and delete adverts linking to dead games, so we can also boast that all games advertised here are active.

What We Need In Mod-staff

We are looking for friendly and devoted mods who are able and willing to do a bit of work at least two - three times a week. Now as a mod, you only need to do 2 things. [Subject to Change]

- Check Community Management for Posts.
- Record Actions on Mod Logs.

Sound good?

If so, you can comment to this post.
If not, you can go back to the adverts.

NEW MODS

Please read everything that follows before you begin moderating.

The Nitty-Gritty

Time for details! This is basically what you need to do as a mod.

- First, make sure you are very familiar with the rules.

- Once you're familiar with the rules, go to community management, which is linked on the sidebar. You must be logged in with the journal you use to mod unique_roleplay in order to see anything.

- Once there, You should see an Awating Moderation columb. Just under that it will have a queue. If there are any in the queue it is then your job to make sure that each one follows the rules and accept or reject it. You will then record your actions in the Mod Logs (also linked on the sidebar).

- Always start from the bottom (oldest) post in the queue.

Accepting and Rejecting Posts

Ok, it seems like a quick guide of things to look for is in order. Now I assume you are all aware of the rules but for the new ones this might help. When you look at the post, you should look specifically for these things. Make sure to save the poster name and name of a community you reject for the mod logs.

- Does it have a subject?
-- No? Reject it.

- Is it a Harry Potter game?
-- If so check the approved HP games list. If they are not on there then the post should not be approved.

- Is the picture too large?
-- Yes? Reject it.

- Does the post have content more then a picture and a link?
-- No? Reject it.

- Is it too long?
-- Yes? Reject it. Please be careful to note that cuts don't show up when viewing the ad, it will show the link, whats inside the cut, and the end cut-tag.

- Is it friends only, or does it not allow comments?
-- Delete these.

That should be pretty much it, from time to time something else will come up. Just refer to the rules.

Please note, check the community homepage after each and every post. Some posts will mess up the way the community looks and will have to be deleted.

What To Say In Rejection.

With each rejection you need to politely inform the poster why their post was rejected, that they'll be added to the greylist or blacklist, (see below) and that they will be removed from the greylists in three months if they follow the rules until then. Be sure to remind them to read all the rules before reposting.

Example :

Your post has been rejected for failure to put in a subject line. This will count as strike one in our three strike system. Your name will be erased from it 3 months from today and you have 1 more strike. Please read all the rules before reposting.

Grey/Black-Lists

The greylist/blacklist system works like this: Three strikes. When you make your mod log (below) I'll add people to Strike One or Strike Two. After that they go on the blacklist. Multiple offenses in one post counts as 1 strike. They stay on the greylist for 3 months, and so long as they don't ignore the rules within that they are removed after that period. The Blacklist is forever.

Mod Logging

When you are done approving or rejecting adverts, you need to make an entry in the logs. The reason is so I know who does what, how active you are, and what communities to add to the greylists. Your post should look like this:

July 4th
8am E.S.T.

Accepted
username - url to post

Rejected
username
community - No subject line, pic too big

Also, any questions, etc you have for us, you can leave here.

NOTE: WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING MOD APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME.

Post for Moderators. (Mod Logs)

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 16:04:12 GMT

When you are done approving or rejecting adverts, you need to make an entry in the logs. The reason is so I know who does what, how active you are, and what communities to add to the greylists. This way, with multiple mods I know who's looking. You must post here at least once every week and a half to stay a mod.

Your post should look like this:

July 4th
8am E.S.T.

Accepted
username - url to post

Rejected
username
community - No subject line, pic too big

PRE-APPROVED HARRY POTTER LIST

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:57:53 GMT

Because of the HUGE influx of HP games that are out there, we will have a pre-approved list for HP games to make things easier for our moderators in determining what qualifies as a game 'unique' enough to be posted here and what doesn't.

To get yourself on the pre-approved list, please reply to this post with your advertisement, making sure the advert follows all rules on the info.

At the end of your advertisement, please include the following form in plain text with no tags or links:

game name:
username:
community: (follow with url only if outside of inksome)
what makes it unique:

If approved, you will be notified and added to the mods' list of HP communities to approve. You must submit to be accepted. Communities who do not take the time to submit and get on the list will have their adverts rejected. Once you have been accepted, you may feel free to post according to standard community rules.

All entries are screened. Entries that are not accepted will be deleted, and may at any time resubmit. Please be sure to make it clear what makes the game unique from all other HP games.
