CLIMAX by Mami Kawada.

More nitpicking \o/ Instead of rounds 2.1 and 2.2, say rounds 3 and 4. Decimals kinda bother.

I see you've created the threads for me. :V I'll make some suggestions while I'm here. So, now... Months fluctuate in time lengths. :V I suggest a time limit of 30 days. You should probably leave this part up to the moderator, but add a general guideline that the limit shouldn't exceed 10 people except in certain cases (many people want to join). I think there is really one thing I'm concerned about if this wasn't here: sexual content. Just ban that, and see how it goes. How about 'Keep everything realistic in the bounds of the setting'? 'You may not participate in two DCW IRL threads at the same time.' This opens the thing up a bit more, like for example: you can't be a participant in two threads, not a moderator in one and a participant in the other, and not a moderator in two threads. Locked...from what I see above, the word 'discontinued' would be a better choice of words. And it wouldn't be fair for a thread to be kept alive by two people, so how about also adding that there must be at least three people 'active'. And also this general guideline: - Stay on topic. Discussion must be limited to relevant discussion. And moving on to other things: You could take this chunk out of the FAQ, turn it into a list for 'What do I need to be a moderator', and there. Like maybe this: - You must be able to keep track of the storyline and keep the plot moving in some way, maybe by posting an event every two or three days. - You must have good grammar and spelling. Note: this does not mean flawless, but your English grammar and spelling should be sufficient enough to be understood by others. And etc. I don't agree with the need to be on DCW for a month and having 500 posts. Instead, how about these requirements: - You must have actively participated in at least two DCW IRL rounds as a participant (or you must have been an 'active' participant in the first DCW IRL round). <-- I'll let you decide what 'active' meant back then :V - You must have actively participated in at least one DCW IRL round recently. <-- I'll let you decide what 'recently' means. Regarding inactivity: - A participant must be active. If they are deemed 'inactive' by the moderator for a period of 5 days without passing off their position to another person, they will be kicked from the thread. No replacement will be made to fill in the position. - A participant may pass off their position to another person, where that person will take their place until the original participant returns. Same 5 day rule applies here. - If a moderator is 'inactive' for a period of 3 days without passing off their position, they will be kicked and the game will be suspended until the next capable moderator on the list takes their position. If such a moderator cannot be found within 5 days, the game will be discontinued. - A moderator may pass off their position to another person, where that person will take their place until the original moderator returns. This person must pass the requirements to be a DCW IRL moderator. Same 3 day rule applies here. And regarding the Moderator signup thread in general: You should probably add a note that says 'Do not reply to this thread' if the signups are going to be through PM. I don't think I missed anything i wanted to say, did I?

I think I'll create a thread as reference for sign-ups and such. I can ask one of the mods to sticky the thing, and also make it a general discussion thread for DCW IRL things. Like improvement and issue discussment.

This makes me think of this idea: How about creating different DCW IRL threads 'moderated' by different people, who decide setting and such? They could be also set to time limits to force a resolution. This, of course, doesn't mean many are present at the same time. My idea is that one person sets up a DCW IRL during a time period, and after it ends, the next person goes. And so on. It helps if there's some sort of organization to this thing, which is why I'm suggesting it. (Basically, it's like creating Mafia rounds, except with the time limit and it's DCW IRL)
