So I was discussing with Elliot about alignments. Well it started out as me mentioning I may throw a character arc out for my guy and question his morals, but he said he'd be interested in an alignment system. We could have three factions vying over the land of Hyrule: - The Hyrulian Army (which would include the Hylians, Zoras, Gorons, Kokiri {perhaps})
- The Forces of Gannon (basically the Gerudos loyal to Ganondorf and any evil characters)
- Neutral/Independent (Which would include anyone else or those who do not want to pick a side)
Up to my knowledge, I don't think it's possible to have the karma system NOT ban a member. I think when you hit a certain point in total negative karma, you're auto-banned. However, I could be mistaken. If it is possible, I was thinking that the karma system would be a great way to signify the alignment of each user's character. - 30 Karma points or higher = Positive alignment and you'd be on the Hyrulian Army
- -29 - 29 = Neutral Karma and the user remains independent, working for both sides or neither.
- -30 or less = Negative alignment and the character would be on the Gannon's side.
With each alignment can come different specific quests. Some for good karma, some for negative karma. I hope this is a topic that most of the active members will help discuss because I think this is a great idea to help better improve the site and make it unique. Anyone can post their ideas and other suggestions =)

As long as no one has to get banned (which seems kinda unfair), this seems pretty well-thought out to me. There could even be specialized weapons and items and whatnot that are only available to each alignment. And later on as the story progresses, there could even be separate, hidden boards for each side, like for each of them to make their next plans, whether it be planning an attack or reconnoitering or whatever else. Meh, dunno, just tossing ideas here =d

Every idea is appreciated! And I know on other forums they are able to make hidden boards or inaccessible ones to certain groups. So maybe just make groups for users to pick between, if this has to be the case?

Okay, I'm not understanding. What's karma and how do you gain/lose it?

From how I understood it, it's sometimes given for posting, or members and staff can just +/-1.

Well, I want to point out that this IS Zeke's site, so if he disregards it and doesn't want it, then so be it. However, Idk if it'd make us more active or not, but it'd just be a cool feature for us to know, without the character's "knowing" until it's revealed.

Hmm, maybe. But the avatars are custom to whatever the user wants, so for now, it'd be a waste of coding.
