Can has handbook?

[maggotbone]

Sooo, with Callie working at the D.O.I for the City, she's working on making things efficient and useful, and otherwise more import friendly. I've actually been considering making a PDF handbook with general need-to-know stuff about the City, explaining the Porter, listing events that have happened since the Porter first showed up and what to expect and a Civilian's Guide to "How to handle Supervillains", "Superheros are your friends", and "What to do when..." Event situation advice to reduce damage, harm, and casualties. Mostly just for fun. I dunno, it could actually be useful too?

Is this a stupid idea? Is Brakish crazy? Should I shut up? XD

This is a great idea actually. Sounds kind of like a Quick Start guide to the comm?

[maggotbone]

Yeah! Kinda! I mean, if it turns out to actually be useful, I'm fine with whatever the mods want to do with it if they want to use it.

It might even call for the more artistic members in the comm to maybe illustrate some stuff too if they want? 8D I just thought it would be fun.

Sounds good to me, I know I would've found that sort of thing useful when I was first looking around the comm ^^

NO WAIT I FOUND IT (http://fuckrobertfrost.livejournal.com/1031.html)

[maggotbone]

...omg this is awesome. *will use like a boss*

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

or perhaps just reference
idk what jilli's policy on its use is

[maggotbone]

Of course I will wait to get permission first, but it is delightful!

It's good/fun! But rather than PDF, you could set it up like a game FAQ or the police post(s). That way it'd be easier to edit and if, for some reason (don't you dare) that you drop you could just copy it and textbox it for someone else to take over. You could also use it for IC comments and the like. :)

But yeah, it'd be neat! Especially if it was written ICly in her tone of voice. I also know that there are a few "dummy" things like this that characters will send their friends, like non-existent maps or bits of info in text form that... well, don't really exist but they've said they do.

[maggotbone]

Ohhh that's a great idea! I'll keep that in mind!

lol, I'd love a very sarcastic toned handbook myself. I want to wait to see how many people approve of the idea, and I might set up another post where people can put their input... probably ICly so Callie can be gathering information from various sources (Stark Industries, Xavier Institute, MAC building, various Superhero groups, clueless roommates :P, etc)

c:

I imagine most everyone would! And anyone who doesn't... well, they're just silly. As silly as LJ has been. :|

I like this idea whole bunch, so don't shut up.

[maggotbone]

♥ Oh good! *talks forever*

[out_of_time]

I love this idea! I'd be glad to help with police details and overall game history ('why is LA a smoking crater,' for example) OOCly or ICly.

[maggotbone]

Ohhh that would be great ♥ I'll wait maybe another day or two before posting Callie's network post to the masses about it.

[expletives]

yes oh my goodness DO THIS!!

[maggotbone]

*salute* It's looking like a distinct possibility.

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

This is an excellent idea! I love it!

Actually, if she asked, I'd think Tony would be totally all over funding this for the PR too if she wanted to make it ~*~super special~*~ or something!

[maggotbone]

eee awesome! I'm so glad people are liking the idea so far 8D

♥ She can always count on Tony

[liverletdie]

8D Well you know Tony, he just loves doing things for worthy causes.





And the hot chicks that are in charge of them 8)

[badumtish.livejournal.com]

Approved. Good idea. Do it. BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE FUN DOING IT.

[maggotbone]

OMG IT WILL BE 8D

Leave it to me to think that making a handbook is fun XD
