Events "genre" / types.

[Cobalt]

Okay, @Thenomain is evil, and has issued me a challenge. This challenge will result in an overhaul of some of the fiddlybits in my events code.

One will be a definition of available genres (don't panic staff will be able to add new ones).

To make things easier I would like to have a couple of lists people can plug in without doing the commands one by one. (Instead on install they just grab the attribute and set it).

So some thoughts.

GENERIC/GENERAL LIST:

• social
• mystery
• action
• open
• suspense
• drama

WoD:

• changeling
• mage
• werewolf
• vampire
• mortal
• mortal+
• changing breed
• immortal
• sineater
• demon
• promethean
• mummy
• cross sphere

ANITAVERSE

• Kiss
• pack
• pard
• rodere
• coven
• police
• preter
• human
• animator

DRESDEN:

• ??
• ??
• ??

PERN:

• dragons
• ??

GAME O THRONES

• DEATH
• dragons?
• ??

D&D:

• Dungeon
• tpk
• ??

ThThe specific and generic can be mix together mind.

Thoughts on things to go on lists?

I'd suggest adding an "Occult" category. I used the hell out of that as a category on TR.

"risky" is one that might be good. Not really a "theme" but a good keyword for the scenes that might be riskier than others in terms of consequences for your character.

I am not sure what these are. I set an event and these are tags to say what's likely to happen?

Where does Strip Truth or Dare fit on the genre list? Make sure you have that one covered.

You'd probably want to add 'private' and 'invite-only' to the list, for things like the family events or private scenes somebody needs to schedule and keep the reminders for.

I always found the 'private events' going up on the event board to be in slightly poor taste, but I understand their purpose and there seemed to be plenty of them.

Being me, I'd probably use the heck out of a 'humor' or 'comedy' or 'campy' tag.

'competition' might be a good one for the general category, also. It could cover anything from beauty pageants to jousts.

@Sunny - this list seems right to me. Everything else could be covered by the generic tags.

[Cobalt]

@Sunny @JinShei @surreality Thank you!

I'll add those to the list of prebuilt "genres".

RE: private events, it's always been a want of mine to be able to make +Event/private -- which is visible only to staff and the players invited (and would in theory only notify those players). Taking out notification to the +Bbs, and changing how people see new +Events may make this a little easier.

Hhm. May need to make a private / non-private tag for events. HHHHM.
