User blog:BachLynn23/Liliths Letter Stuff About Phase Two Please Read

Ok, so Phase Two of LL should be in full swing within the next couple of weeks, if all goes as planned, but unfortunately Flame's parents are convinced he has an internet/computer addiction and are forcing him 1 week away from it, so I'm passing along any information from him, and helping out in his semi-absence.

Here is the basics of how Phase Two, should work.

Rules
OK so last time there were few "rules" per say, this is mostly relating to who can join, who can't, and what is required of you throughout the process.

Rules on Joining Phase 2

 * 1) You must be a level 5 (or higher if you are RB, Admin, Bcrat)
 * 2) If you are currently (at the start of Phase Two), marked as "officially less active" on the Users &amp; Characters forum, you will not be eligible to join. If you are on that list, but feel you will be active enough to participate, then you need to be officially taken off the less active list, which means that if you are an RB or Admin, you will also be expected to perform any duties pertaining to your title and/or department.
 * 3) To start off we will take a general roll call to see just how many users are interested, you can do that here
 * 4) Once we have an idea of how many users are interested in joining, and have decided exactly how many groups there will be to start off, we will have another more detailed sign up, this will entail more than just asking to go, you will need to say which character you'd like to bring, which group you'd like to join, and why you feel that character would work well in that group. So for instance say I wanted to join the Combat group for Camp with my Eris kid. I'd explain why I think she should go, how she'd be helpful to have on the team, and why she'd be good in a combat setting. This is to ensure that users are actually putting thought into the whole situation in general, as well as the character they wish to bring. Now, I'm not saying you will be outright denied if your reason isn't good enough, but we withhold the right to deny if it looks like you put zero thought into why your character should go. For instance, a pathetic reason would be something like "because they like to fight" or "because they really want to go".

Rules/Guidelines for Phase Two

 * 1) Each group will be expected to check in, at least once a week, on the status page (to be created). Now, you can select a specific member of your group to be the one to keep up with this, or just have it that anyone in the group can at any time, but this is key, this helps Flame to keep an eye on progress, and know which groups need assistance and/or for him to post. Lott and I will also be helping with this Phase behind the scenes, so if you are stuck or need help with something, and can't get in touch with Flame, you could try asking one of us as well.
 * 2) This has been mentioned numerous times, but I feel the need to reiterate, please play your character's appropriately, suddenly changing them just because they are out of camp borders, and having them do things that, technically the character wouldn't normally do, just because perhaps you are bored and are trying to make stuff happen, is not acceptable. In extreme cases of this, if it leads to a massive disruption of the group in general, this could lead to being kicked out of the group.
 * 3) If you get stuck, or are confused this is not a viable excuse for inactivity, find someone to ask, maybe ask the others in your group what they think, or talk to myself, flame or Lott.
 * 4) Please do NOT kill off characters, send them away or put them up for adoption once Phase Two has begun.
 * 5) If something comes up, please at least let someone know you won't be able to be active. The mission cannot stop because you have stuff going on, perhaps your reasons are perfectly valid, but it isn't fair to your team. So I'd suggest one of two options, allowing someone else to rp your character while you are away or as some did in Phase One, roleplay them out of the mission.

Combat/Storyline Basics
So the general idea is that Phase Two will have two types of groups, groups more combat driven, and groups more story driven (similiar to the how the groups were in Phase One, but even those will be a bit more lively). Until we have a better idea how many users are interested in joining, for now I'm just going to give you a basic idea of what each type will entail. Once we do have a better idea, there will be groups for both BC and Camp.


 * 1) Camp
 * 2) Combat
 * 3) Story Driven
 * BC
 * 1) Combat
 * 2) Story Driven
 * 3) BC/Camp Crossover groups (possibly)

Combat Groups
These groups will start out with clear missions that will 100% be putting them into some type of battle/conflict, how that conflict is resolved is a bit more vague, but either way, but it will be known from the start that battle will be the end game.

Story Driven Groups
These groups will be more exploring and looking into any clues that were given during Phase One. Conflict is possible, just not the main point of these groups.

Reserved Spots & Restrictions
For now, we are limiting users to having 2 spots, but both can't be on the same group. Now as Flame mentioned in his last blog, some users were not overly active or responsible about letting people know they couldn't be active, in Phase One. Now no one was so inactive they won't be allowed at all in Phase Two, but we are penalising some from Phase One and only allowing them to have One Character. For the users who were active or at least responsible about not being able to be, they will have automatically reserved spots for Phase Two, if they want them. If you were in Phase One, but outright left the wiki (and may have recently returned) or went inactive and notified someone, I am not putting you on either list, the reserved or the ones only allowed one spot, if you wish to join Phase Two, great, but I leave that up to you.

However, I still need you to go here to officially sign up, expressing that you are in fact interested in being involved in Phase Two.

Mission Report & Meeting
Before we can officially get going with Phase Two, Camp and the BC must "meet" and discuss the information obtained from Phase One. Because the meetings we did for the start of Lilith's Letter was chaotic and took forever, we are going to try a different approach for Phase Two.

First, there will be a meeting between camp and BC on neutral turf. Two individuals from each, one will be Heinrich and one will be Alexander, the other two will be nominated. Once the nominations are up, a vote will be held, once the character's are selected, the meeting will be held.

Other comments
So as I stated above, Flame is being forced to be less active this week by his parents, so I will be passing messages along and making sure things still work towards the end goal. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
