Existing building applications
From Tapestries MUCK
A reply to this thread was moved to another thread
It's nice to see new areas being mulled, but I hope something can be done for existing applications in the building queue. Wildhaven Park, for example, has had a completed application since mid-2007, and since the demise of the Rescue Center there isn't really anywhere designed for "feral" characters to feel at home; nor can ad-hoc areas be created without threat of sanction. The same could be said for the Orchids Cafe, which caters to an under-served minority on Tapestries.
While some of these applications may fit into the mould of a strict-RP-focussed area, many do not, and I'd be disappointed if the only way to see them created was for them to become one. I'm not saying this should fall on your shoulders specifically, but I'd hope the leadership worked to resolve issues for existing members before seeking to attract new ones. Many people prefer to use RP-centric MUCKs nowadays, but that's in large part because the building queue has been moribund for all groups.
Tapestries doesn't need fast-tracking for special projects; it needs a single track that works. There was a burst of activity earlier this year. It wouldn't take all that much to get things going again.
I agree with some of these things. However, I can really only speak for my area of responsibility, which is the RP area. The building is a means to an end for me, and the RP region, when the time comes, will require a certain amount of "startup" real-estate to give a variety of roleplay settings.
In general, WhiteWizard is the building wizard and building in the main areas of Tapestries, and we haven't discussed where the responsibility for the new region's building will fall once it's set up. I can broach the topic with him if you like or you can submit a request linking to this talk page and asking about the building queue. That might be best.
Sorry I can't be of more help in this at this time. :(
Not sure I'm wordin this correctly cuz I'm no techie by trade, only by necessity. So here goes; As you build this are you pushing for advances in gameplay monitoring tech upgrades? I ask because it is a lack of access to these that has made most advancements in the game kinda grind to a halt. One of the most popular spots that use to exist in the game is long gone simply because there was no way to continually police the place when the owners or their minions could not. Violations occurred and continued to occur until finally it was shut down. An ability for violations of TAPs policies to be flagged for addressing would go a long way for many builders to push harder for the ability to build into the game more. I know I haven't simply for that very reason. None of us want the major headache of playing 'chase the perps'. Just saying. Thanks in advance for the reply and good luck with the project. Nice to see any advancement rather than continual stagnation. ;-)
