REMINDER

[capemods]

Please remember that GDS is limited to one meme a day, going by EST. Since we've already had two memes today, please refrain from posting any memes tomorrow, guys.

Additionally, even with this limit in place, we're getting complaints that the game is too meme-heavy and people are feeling left out of a lot of the interaction. We've previously used a three-meme-a-week limit and certainly received fewer complaints about the issue back then. Should we officially cut back on memes again? (Conversely, we have received requests to do away with the meme limitation all together.) Discuss below.

If we have a clock, can we have a weather report, too? Even if it's just a link/reminder as to what the current weather is in NYC? /random, sorry!

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

On that note, it might be helpful to have links to stuff that's in the actual NYC. Do we already have that and I am unaware?

[bossisawitch.livejournal.com]

You know, I don't think that we do. And considering that the City is carbon copy NYC and many of our players haven't been there before, it would be a good idea.

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

There's at least a few of us here from the NYC/tri-borough area that could map stuff out.

I think it would be superhelpful to have the clock, weather, and maybe even a map.

In another NYC-based RP game, they had a google map where you could add little flags where certain things were. It was actually pretty neat.

I would be more than willing to help with any of this.

The problem I'm seeing is that a lot of people don't realize how HUGE NYC is. And it's not their fault, it's because without proper visual aid, you don't really know. I also think a map would be helpful! :D

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

exactly! You see people posting things like "where can i buy ramen noodles?" when there is like... a convenience store on every corner.

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

Also buses and trains. NYC has a ridic amount that people don't realize because a lot of other places, even cities, don't have as much. We could definitely use some sort of guide.

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

lets do it.

as soon as i figure out how they made that map thing

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

Want to mebbe talk it over AIM sometime? We could even make an open google doc to add stuff. I know Bear and Ilana, also from NYC, could add a ton of stuff.

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

sure! i'm at dukevendetta.

I'm trying to figure googlemaps out now, not sure if i should make a capeandcowl specific account or what.

[yayashton.livejournal.com]

perhaps this will help (http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=68480)?

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

I figured it out, thank you!

I'm just wondering if I should make an actual cape account

[superxgrlfriend.livejournal.com]

+ 1. Since I'm actually in the NYC area and have lived here all my life, if you want to take on something like this, I'd be happy to help.

[jewpryde.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of making a google doc to add stuff. Thoughts?

[superxgrlfriend.livejournal.com]

Excellent idea. I'm googling interactive maps right now.
