Hey~
This is something I've been meaning to ask about for a while, but I personally feel that Eagle Time has expanded a lot since it started, and especially so when MSPAF had it's accident. While I am hesitant about this suggestion due to it being a practice from the forum, and it feeling slightly ominous for me I do think that at the rate the forumventures and forumgames are expanding there should be a slight change to the structure of those parts of the forum.
- Completed Games and Adventures
This one isn't a big deal but would at least give a place to archive all the completed games and adventures. Cleaner organization, and the same system of "well done". With games that have been permanently ended (and will not be starting a new round) they may also be put in the completed section.
- Cradle
All new games will go into the games cradle and will only leave when they have enough players and have had 5 or so updates/rounds.
All new adventures will go into the forumventure cradle and may leave upon request at what is decided as a stable amount of updates. Whether it's a month of steady updates, 10 updates, 2 or more pages, etc is something to be decided by staff/the community. I feel this one is the most necessary due to the fact that the forumventure section is beginning to have the issue of 3+ pages of ongoing new and long running adventures all within the last week.
- Graveyard (tentative)
If someone wants to cancel or stop their adventure/game permanently, or even put it on an indefinite hiatus, it gets put into the graveyard. Until they specifically request it to be reopened it's locked for archival, and it's gonnarino.
-------------
So uh ya I meant to directly contact a staff member on the eagletime discord to ask "would it be more appropriate to suggest this in the suggestions thread or post a discussion topic"
And I honestly do feel this is something the community should discuss, but I did also want to suggest it?
