CHARACTER GOODBYES
Sometimes, we have a character that has just served their purpose on the site. Sometimes we're feeling overwhelemd and we need to cut down, or maybe a character just didn't mesh the way you thought they were going to! There are any number of reasons that you may decide to delete a character!
But courtesy of a suggestion on our Google Drive page, we are putting a page up for people to post on when they are thinking about deleting a character. This helps to alert other members which is nice to do since someone might have a thread with that character. Maybe you just want to throw out there that you're thinking about deleting someone, and that you don't necessarily want to, and are looking for things to save them from that fatal delete button! Then someone could see they're on the chopping block and try to save them.
Also sometimes it's useful for us to know what happened to that character! Maybe you gave them a story and they moved to Hawaii, or maybe they're still around as an NPC because they're connected to other people, or because you just want that door open in case you bring them back! So we have a code listed so you can tell the story of where they went!
Note that, if you decide to say that your character is still around, that doesn't save their job for them! So say you deleted the divination professor and said that they're still around, you just need to cut down. That doesn't save the job for you in the future if you decide to remake them! It doesn't mean that someone else can't make that job because your character is still around. This is just a good way of seeing a story for your character's departure if there is one!
This is a required place to post before deletion! You save staff from having to comb through every single board looking for threads by linking them for us. We understand sometimes you may forget, but if you delete characters without posting here on more than one occasion, we will message you to remind you that posting here is required!
Now if you're just thinking about deleting someone, feel free to post below just to warn people they're on the chopping block! You don't need to use a code for that, you can just post below! Just use the code if you are about to delete someone.
Hopefully these convoluted explanations make sense! You guys all know I'm good at long-winded explanations!
