Donation Bowls

[Relinquish]

If anyone makes the chart readable, that'd be nice. and posts it.

cool suggestion derf don't know why dms are trying to troll it badly considering it's easy and beneficial

[FleetingHeart]

Nobody is trolling. Strife's whole point is that the info is almost entirely useless. It's meaningless to you guys and most of the info there isn't even relevant now on the surface.

Donate if you want to, don't if you don't want to. It's just something we can glance at for specific characters when we're curious.

I don't think it's meaningless for things relevant to our current setting. Even sparing the details it would certainly be nice for additional donation bowls to be set around the colony and to perhaps see the king's ransom in gold they take in put to a use ICly. Whenever the Stygians get 10k gold they can host tournaments or fix that leaky citadel - When the library gets a large sum it can be spent on expansion or whatever else. Things like that would give some motivation and reason to donate outside of "meh, do it if you feel like it but it doesn't really matter"

- We receive 3-4 apps/day to read.
 - Read up on characters in their journal.
 - Keep up on plot events.
 - Try to update the world to represent current states... convos, etc.
 - Keeping up on the finances, population of the colony on a day to day basis.
 - Keeping up on the finances, population of EACH faction.
 - Keeping up on the finances, influences, relations of EACH NPCs.

And this is like the stuff that's taken for granted...

Then, there is the time to prepare an area, prepare a quest, do write-ups for that quest in order to prepare for possible tangents explored by PCs, stick with the PC during their trial and error at finding where to go and what to do, do the actual quest, possess the NPCs. Do custom items for that quest. <-- That's the visible part.

I'm not sure if people understand how time consuming that is. Ideally, yes. I would like very much to look at donations to each group and do something to reflect what is being donated. You can always write in your character notes to remind the DMs. If it is tied to a personal goal, it would be -WAY- easier to update it than it is just random sims.

If it was all handled by a computer, it would be fine... but can it?

In summary,

Dont expect to donate 2k one day, and finding the area updated to reflect that donation the next. That's not realistic.

But do expect something if you donate frequently, remind the DMs of it through the character logs (if it is important to you) and attain a good sum.

i just want a bowl to throw coins into. antonin's suggestion is a little far-fetched, obv. fleetingheart i don't really think you even read the topic sorry

never said i wanted some inane module change every x coins, but more-so a self way to tracking it which sounds fairly simple. obviously it's made into a mountain out of a molehill, so i will desist in my absurd suggestion

[Divine Intervention]

Admittedly not every faction has bowls but there are several on the ziggurat.

[derfo]

more bowls please

[SkillFocuspwn]

Yes, just having a few more standard donation bowls for a few more factions would be good.
