OOC - NS RP Website Idea

[Rave Magashi]

Hello,

I was thinking of poking at making some sort of Web-Based RP Platform. I have the coding know how and the web server... Just need to know somethings on what would be needed to do on the RP Side.

I was thinking of a Homepage with a List of Role plays. Once in a role play, if not already signed up one can apply. They can make a profile from an already made Nation and Leader profile.

Leader Profiles:
This is an Account tied profile that can be used in multiple roleplays.
Fields contain…
•   Name
•   Image
•   Quote
•   Bio

Nation Profiles:
These are Account tied and the fields include….
•   Name
•   Motto
•   Flag
•   Capital

The actual RP also needs to be laid out… I was thinking of a IM inspired “wall” of Entry’s.
These Entries could link to things like factbooks or general IC Chat.  One could check a box to have the response to be OOC and that would be collapsed by default.

What do you guys think? My main need right now is the Fields for the nation and leader profiles…
What am I missing? What should I add? 

P.S: I posted this in World Building as this is mainly geared towards the inquiry of the mechanics of Roleplay in NationStates. Not so much on the Website itself.

Isn't this what we have wiki.taijitu.org for?

I have referenced wiki, I've read it to help make my other post. I reread it and I did miss unions/policy and maps.
I was also hoping to eventually link this and see what people think, and change stuff based on the feedback.

I think we both know what's REALLY going on here, but I like your ideas!

Rave, sounds like cool idea, but I'm a little confused on the purpose.  If this is for Taijitu world building, I agree with Oz - we have the wiki for that.  It's kind of used as our record of what happened in role play and descriptions of our nations, culture, etc. If this is for Taijitu role play, we sign up for and keep track of RPs here in the Planning Room forum, which are then played out in character in the Pre-Modern or Modern Era Fiction forums.

So, again, the idea sounds cool, but I guess I'm not getting what it would do other than replicate stuff we already have....?

It's a general tool for Nation States Roleplay i'm building, not for just Taijitu. Your welcome to use it when I get some of it done. I'm just looking for input, ideas, features, that would be liked.

I am basically recreating what is already in place. Not to replace what is. Just a project for me to do, and to provide another option for those who would like an All-in-one solution.

So you have profiles for nations and leaders, you would need character profiles, maps, sections for economic/military/social features. Capacity to have threads/shoutboxes for specific stories, adding chapters that auto link to a front page sort of thing, alliance pages, regional profiles, capacity for panregional RP and maps. Nifty idea.

Ah now I get it.  I like it!
