Manor room numbers and layout - a suggestion

[cattygabriel]

It just struck me - we've been randomly assigning rooms and conveniently ignoring stating the floor or room number. ;)

While I don't want to put a cap on the number of rooms available, obviously, I do hope to minimise continuity problems (for example, and I'm making this up, Uriel descending two flights of stairs from his room to go to the lobby, but Gabriel going up two flights of stairs from the library, which is on the second floor, to visit Uriel in his room). Plus, knowing where characters are in relation to yours might facilitate some interaction and thread ideas. :D

My idea: this post/thread will be a list - leave a comment stating which room your character is in, and I can link to it from the timeline post or something.

So if you guys agree that we should keep a list of who's in what room, the description of the Manor is here. I understand that you might want to take a while to think about the location and also choose a number with some significance to your character - while I have decided Gabriel's room is on the third floor I am still thinking about the number.

Plus, at some unforeseeable point in the future, I plan to draw a rough map to standardise the layout of the ground floor (for the ballroom, restaurant, bar etc) for the same reasons as keeping track of the room numbers. I'm not going to attempt the rest of the Manor. ;)

Edit: I've added a link to this post in the timeline post, but if you can think of a better location I'll change it (or get Fox, Ricky or Muri to change it if it needs mod powers ;) )

Edit2: I'll be adding each room to the list from now on. XD

101 - Uriel
102 - Belial
106 - Duncan McLeod
109 - War
110 - Raphael
111 - Rose Heerkens
201 - Methos
202 - Loki
203 - Joe Dawson
204 - Murdoc
208 - Jan Skovasja
211 - Baraq
303 - Anubis
304 - Trilby
307 - Gabriel
309 - Michael
310 - Jarod

Other notes: Gabriel will most often be found in the library between about ten AM to about six-thirty PM, allowing for his lunch and tea breaks. Rose should usually be found at reception, I think, and Joe is in charge of the bar. (it'd be great if I could get a rough estimation of working hours, since we may have the odd guest who turns up before the sun rises or at 3AM or whatever XD)

Popping in terribly, terribly late to suggest two things:

1) Make a post with room numbers and then names. Personally, I'm finding it a bit difficult to sort through all the comments here and posts in the community in search of available and taken room numbers (especially since some of them are by players who I think are no longer active). A list format would be much easier to follow. Something simple like:
102 - Belial
106 - Duncan
110 - Raphael
203 - Joe Dawson
204 - Murdoc
and so on, in numerical order.

2) Perhaps create a LTSH-mod account that multiple people have the password to so more than one person can work on things like the timeline and room number posts?

Hmm. Perhaps I can make a post in the safehouse_rr community to keep track of this...

I'll check with Ricky when she returns XD

Hopefully you will come up with a helpful solution! (The reason I suggested a mod account is because it's what I ended up doing in my community to keep track of the massive list I was running there - it's much, much easier with more than one person helping, especially since we know you are going to end up bogged down with A-levels, and then you will be on vacation.)

XD Well, I'm already doing the timeline, so it's okay. Still, I suppose we could do the room account under the safehouse_guest account... )that's the NPC account) so at least the mods would have access to it. Or I could simply edit this post to feature a list instead.

... I'll edit this post, for now at least. XD Less linking and running around.
