Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
I'm glad this idea is going forward. I think it'll make a great addition to the forums. Thanks TosaInu! ~:cheers:
I think Tamur would certainly make a good job of it especially after reading his diplomacy guide. But I can't help but feel that therother is the man for the job. He seems to be the one driving research forward in the current forums, and I've found his posts to be the most useful, knowledgeable and well researched. If he says something, you can usually take it as gospel! :bow:

I thought so as well, and solypsist kindly agreed to pin one if I started it off. So a TOC for the Colloseum is located here.

I don't feel strongly either way, it was just my peculiar sense of order rearing its ugly head - for some ridiculous reason it needs everything to be structured in some over-elaborate hierarchy!
On who should Moderate, thanks for the vote of confidence Morat and Tamur. I'm glad you both find my work of use. However, as I've just told them both via PM, I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I don't think I'd have the time to do a proper job of it on my own.
And even if I had plenty of time, I can't think of anyone better to Moderate than Tamur. If he's willing to devote the time, I think we have our man.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
glad to see this didn't simply die off ~:cheers:
good luck with your work, therother, and good luck with your future new assignment, Tamur ! ;)
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
Hello,
Unless I missed something, two people stepped forward.
I think we discussed enough now to start walking. Details can be adjusted along the road, that includes forumlisting (it's easy enough to adjust that).
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
The forum is listed in the Colosseum now and the software automatically assigned those mods to this new subforum. I'm going to PM with the new moderators first and then we start.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
I think we have too many forums at the moment, so what is going to be unique about this one?
We already have a RTW guides forum, a multiplayer forum, a whole bunch of different mod forums.
The org is starting to get confusing.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
I second that, it's a bit untidy in the moment although I like the idea of having research in one place.
Two questions:
1. Why are there so many mod-forums. We have Rome mods under hosted and under R:TW modifications. It would be logical to have three mod forums under the respective forums for S:TW, M:TW and R:TW. We should put the hosted mods under the respective game forum. So "Sengoku Jidai" would be under R:TW and barocca's Shogun mod under M:TW.
2. What is R:TW MP1 and R:TW MP2?

Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
1. Sometimes it's not so clear where to list what.
2. MP1 is the RTW jousting, MP2 is like the MTW barracks.
Some forums have temporary names, just waiting to get their final description/listing.
We have more forums, but there's more than just STW now. Forums are categorized according to the gametitle, the ^^ in categorie bars allows to collapse those you've no interest in.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
Just thought I'd drop by to say that the new forum, currently called RTW 2, is now open. You can give your opinion on what the forum should be called here.

Thanks Tosa,
I could've figured the second answer out by myself, I guess.
Good hint about the ^^-function. I wasn't aware of that but prefer to have them all open anyway. I post and read almost everywhere.
Still, the mods should be sorted under their game-title.

Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
I also think this new forum a bit superfluous. We now have three forums (plus the entrance hall) dedictated to single player R:TW; that's just too much. I am not against the idea of a game-research forum, but why can't this be done in the guide forum?
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
It's a worthy idea. But would the folks in the guide forum like the idea of the research forum - that, on occasion, all messages will be wiped and summarized. Your thoughts, Ludens?

I think it can be done in the same way as in the LM forum: the creater of the thread keeps it up to date or the assistant-moderators do it.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
To all,
Too many forums ?
You can close sections of the Guild by pressing the 2 arrows picture.

Thanks for the tip, but I was refering to the fact that information is spread out over too many forums, not that the index page is getting too long. There are three forums plus the Entrance Hall dealing with R:TW singleplayer and another two about multiplayer. Perhaps we should cut down on that number.
Re: RTW or Colloseum subforum suggestion
I understand that point Ludens, but look at it this way. Instead of squezing info in one forum and shattering it over multiple pages, we kind of index related topics in more than one forum. It should make it easier for you to find the info you're really interested in.
If this was a slow board we may have just 1 forum: STW, MTW, RTW, tech, OT, stories, all in one forum. Some boards actually do that because anything posted in the last month will be on page one anyway. If my memory doesn't fail me too much, these forums were like that 5 years ago.
