[Jurinjo]

Oooookay I'm coming into the end of this guys but I was reading and typing madly into notebook to try and get ideas out of my head. So despite my best efforts what you read below may be jumbled and crazy. I'm sleepy so that usually happens but apparently my better rp ideas happen then as well since those ideas are the ones I'm RPing now xD

Commence Jurinjo's Rambling Section!

Avatar Site isn't a good definition I agree. Most people don't know what that means and I'm usually embarassed to explain in real life. If only it were somehow "cool" but then the avatars would have to be the icing and not the cake. People don't come running when you say "ICING!" But scream free cake and you got yourself a crowd. Anyhow this analogy makes me want cake xD

This is shameful but I've been here just after beta ended I believe and you know what? I haven't read a single one of the stories/events. It so huge and intimidating for me. And I not only read books but roleplay. n,n;;

Teletha I love your idea! ...mostly.

While I love the idea of such a webcomic it would require an dedicated team paid just to them. Not to mention the writers and consistent art style. Then again a consistent art style can easily be thrown out so long as quality is kept consistent (Gaia does this for their comic well). The beginning of such a story for Trisphee though...my brain is full of different ideas. Immediately I am thinking drowtales right now as an example towards this end. Which in my mind is a successful webcomic with a rich fictional world I want to learn more about. If you don't know of it recommend checking it out real quick. It is primarily a webcomic and a good one. Now it's a full blown world with non-canon comics on the side where players can nominate choices and vote what happens next. Moderators sometimes curbing the excitement of the users to keep things from derailing. There's also a RP comic feature I was part of for awhile. I have my own drow in scene apparently pole dancing xD And before I left they were looking into creating a "game" for the RP comic or something. It was still in the planning stages so I'm not sure how it panned out. So as success goes I personally think drowtales sets a lot of good examples towards Taletha's idea despite drowtales not being an avatar site but a place primarily drawing in geeks and roleplayers (erotic fiction section of that site aside aheh ^^; )

I was a moderator once for another avatar site. While I wasn't intricately involved with monetary stuff I got enough of it to feel the weight of trying to fund an avatar site. Hiring artists in particular is difficult. Because...of reasons I'm not going to bother you with.

Random thought: incorporating people is done by artix. Admittedly it's usually all staff who get characters they do use item ideas created by users and they get creditted in game.

I see a big problem with the above ambitions is losing sight of this Trisphee we love. And well what is actually do-able? And what's do-able without essentially rebooting the site from ground zerio?

Also regarding games I loved the community-ness of games on Gaia. Most friends I ever made was via jigsaw puzzles. <3 With inflation in mind though does Trisphee want to award aurum for completetion? Probably not. But just a though what about token items? Token can't be traded and users can be limited to just the neat things in the token shop. (like a gift shop for gaming). Such an idea though might need some restructuring of the token shop and system but they would be minor. To keep inflation balanced. Afterall token items can still be traded.
