The TOO Morgue

Bennett · Post by **Bennett** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 3:12 pm

I think we should have a Too morgue up where the list of sections are, prefferably next to the "Preferences" section.

It's a place where leaving Members may place their name once they decide to leave, something about them, what they're known for, their list of most used Avatars, positions, pictures, reason why you left, amount of posts, the job they had, and, finally their Will!

In their Will, they will be allowed to place where they wish their money to go, and who it should go to.

And, I mean, you don't have to accually die, or anything, to put your name there. But, I say people that need to be away for over 6 months to freeze their account and temporarily put it aside. That way, people can know who is away, for what reason, and how long it's marked that they will be gone for.

Another benifit of this is if say someone as important as Shadowpaw is going to Africa to fight Penguins for the year, and cannot post until then, it'll be a place to put his importance and memories on the board so that the newest members that come afterwards may already know who he is and know his importance and involvement on the board. That way, his important legacy may live on!

And, heck, you can always come back to life.

Of course, everyone will want to have a grave of themselves to show their importance on the board. That's why you must BUY a casket first for a fee. Not a high amount, mind you, but someone who posts every few months and doesn't mind not appearing for 6 months just to have yourself engraved on the fancy Morgue List of deceased. This way, someone who has been a significant memebr of the board may be the ones sharing this previledged.

Yes, perhaps it's just some other popularity thing. But I think of it as a way to cure the problem of having these memorable older members such as Jacob Isom, Dr. Blackgaard, Trina...and others, to have them instilled (not them, specifically, but people who will become like them in the future) and be remembered even by the newer members who weren't around when they weren't.

And also, knowing that you're still remembered, and that your honorably mentioned on the board, as well as everythign about you, will make you be more excited about coming back, instead of thinking; "Well, I'm no longer really remembered, unless I revive those posts..."

I say we have this great way to remember people on the board!! And, I think we should be able to buy the casket now, and write to be able to write our will. This way, when the time comes for Little Johnny to go off to college, he'll be ready to say "Goodbye Too! Thankfully, Bennett came up with this great idea that I'll still be remembered!"

EDIT: Oh yes, and you could put a link to your Member Quizzes since they all seem to be gone at the moment.

I like the general idea BC but I'm not sure about the concept of "morgue" and coming back to life...

I think it would be great to have a more official "Goodbye" section for long loved members to explain why they are leaving for a spell.

It also provides newbies with a chance to become familier with "that person everyone seems to mention and knows so much about but doesn't post here anymore"

lol, you're not really going to be dead; just pretending to be for the benefit of any secret agents that are after you.

By section, I don't mean "Boards" or "SubBoards" or "Forums" or anything. I actually mean, just like the "Census" Section, a "Morgue" section. You know, just like a real town, with the names listed. Really, it all depends on the layout of the page. Of course, having it like the layout of the "Census" would be a little boring. But maybe having a list with the picture of each person, and then you can click and bring it on a small page about all of it. Or perhaps have it all on one page right at the beginning. Truly, it's left up to the imagination right now. But I truly think it could work well.

Ha! My predictions were correct! >:D
...It sounds like something that could be useful, although the modding difficulty may be an issue. Or it may not. Any comments from those who know what they're talking about?

I think this is a cool idea.

It sounds like a great idea. There should be a place where you can add comments about the person who is in the "Morgue." Like "they pm'ed me everyday and always gave grand advice" or something like that, el compredeir?

The only question is, does Shadowpaw like the idea...

Shadowpaw · Post by **Shadowpaw** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 4:23 pm

I do, in fact, like the idea

. Though I'm not really sure how it could be implemented... making a separate message board seems to be the only way, something like Crestwood... unfortunately, coding something similar to the Census would take far too much time.... time I don't have

.

Also, instead of a morgue... could it be something like the Odyssey Airport? People listing their departures... and arrivals?

Well, if it's a message board, I'd personnaly be against the idea, only because it's a lot less organized and special. No one would go there, and it wouldn't be as special. The whole 'goodbye' and now I'm 'back' thing isn't as simple and special. It would just be another board.

Well, their isn't a deadline or anything. But perhaps something planned to appear sometime someday. It's pretty much an idea for someday.

Sounds like some good ideas! $\:D/$
We do have a welcome and goodbye thread but I guess this would be a little more "official" and easier to search.

At long last the Scribbler can be laid to rest instead of his body lying in the boarded up Tattler offices...
