Suggestions for the infobox

I was thinking about adding duration? Short, medium, long? Though I guess every player goes at its own pace, and some events will be a lot shorter for some then others... but still... the actual time behind the event from start to finish? Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 20:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Suggestions for basic page setup

The one we currently use for Defending Shaemoor has probably got the basics down for events. Though with an actually Dynamic Event, with a whole event chain to it, will probably require a template of some sort for easy browsing. I sorta started that discussion over at my construction page, but would like to continue the discussion here. Infinite had some good ideas, with writing down the events per sub-area instead the whole area or province the event takes in. Though I do see a viable option in getting at least a central article having at least the start and end of each event chain. This helps the player in finding out where he left off and also sees at what part the event is in. Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 20:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Suggestions for My Story stuff

Infinite also had a [[:File:User_Infinite_My_Story_base.png|file (My Story base.png)]] for a possible player based template which will let players create their own story. A story with their decisions. I would really love to see this in practice, as many role players amongst us will gladly use this for their characters to some sorts.

Color

I'm not sure how I feel about the color of the infobox. I'm not sure if I would prefer this or a light teal for dynamic events. (Will be posting color test shortly.) Aqua (T|C) 01:00, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

(name) Location (which sub-area?)	(name) Location (which sub-area?)	(name) Location (which sub-area?)
(name) Location (which sub-area?)	(name) Location (which sub-area?)	(name) Location (which sub-area?)

Here are some. Aqua (T|C) 01:06, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, we need to regulate all infoboxes anyway. Right now there is no grouping of any kind. :< - Infinite - talk 01:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

yeah but when it comes we will already know the color to use--Icyyy Blue 02:25, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

What I meant is that the colours will be changed at that stage, to group similar uses. For now I don't mind what colour is used. - Infinite - talk 02:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

infobox

Created this Event-Infobox a little while ago and got some feedback from Infinite and Ge4ce. In the example every option is displayed. Hope to get some more feedback for it- --Snakes Shadow 11:36, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
