Sidetable Suggestions | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Thread Spotlight Suggestions

Our "Salutes" side-table spotlight features a member-recommended thread that is interesting, important, or otherwise worth a read, submitted here for staff consideration!

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Rules]

Any IC thread may be suggested, whether it be ongoing or completed, normal or IC Interactive (Recital is allowed). All posts in the suggested thread must abide by the applicable rules, i.e. 200 word count minimum or individual rules if IC Interactive. Threads that only have 1 post/participant will not be considered.
You may not suggest your own threads but may submit any thread your characters are not involved in. The thread may contain anything you feel is noteworthy, such as humorous dialogue, important interactions, profound events, an unusual amount of participants, or whatever else might draw a reader in. It must be reasonable in length, preferably at least 4 posts, and have at least 2 characters. If the thread content relies heavily on previous context for comprehension, it will likely be rejected.
The spotlight thread is updated when a suitable one is recommended and no more frequently than once a week. If multiple suggestions qualify and begin to accumulate, they will be chosen from accordingly when a new one is needed. If there is excessive pile-up, this thread may be locked until some of the waiting threads can be whittled down.
Staff will edit each suggestion post to mark if it is: rejected (and why), pending (will be used in the future), or already featured/used (which case they will also indicate when compensation is distributed).
You will receive 5 coins for every thread you suggest that becomes featured. The participants of the spotlight thread itself will also receive 5 coins each (per member; goes to their OOC account). Characters that join spotlight threads after they are suggested/featured do not qualify for reward.
Do not ask someone to nominate your thread.

[PTab=Form]

Thread: [a href="Link to the thread"]Thread name[/a]
Participants: Tag the @username of all participants, both the characters and roleplayers.
Summary: Summarize the content of the thread thus far. Attempt to keep it under 10 sentences or otherwise of reasonable length while still explaining the interactions, dialogues, relationships, and other significant aspects of the thread. If the thread is featured long after you suggested it, a new summary may be requested.
Reason: Explain why you think this thread is worth being showcased. 3-5 sentences should suffice.

OTM Suggestions

Every month, a new character or member is featured in the "Salutes" side-table OTM. The category changes monthly based on member recommendations, from funniest character to most dramatic fight!

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Rules]

Any OTM category idea may be suggested, whether it be about members or characters, boards or threads. Unless all appropriate ideas have been exhausted, categories will not be repeated.
You may suggest any category idea that is appropriate and might have multiple potential candidates, such as "most dangerous character" or "most active member." If you propose a category that has only 1 potential candidate currently, such as "best blacksmith" when there is only 1 smithy, then it will not be considered.
The OTM is updated once a month; staff will choose a category if nothing suitable has been suggested in time. If multiple suggestions qualify and begin to accumulate, they will be chosen from accordingly when a new one is needed. If there is excessive pile-up, this thread may be locked until some of the waiting ideas can be whittled down.
Staff will edit each suggestion post to mark if it is: rejected (and why), pending (will be used in the future), or already featured/used (which case they will also indicate when compensation is distributed).
While staff will choose the OTM winners, members can still make their nominations when suggesting categories if they would like to, though it is not mandatory. Although no one may nominate themselves in any way (including in threads they've partaken in), staff may still choose them independently for a category they suggested. Nominations can help bring certain characters/members/threads/boards to light that could otherwise be overlooked but they are no guarantee that the nomination will be chosen; staff will always use their best judgement.
You will receive 5 coins for every OTM category you suggest that is chosen. The winner(s) of the OTM itself will also receive 5 coins (per winning member if there are multiple; goes to their OOC account).
OTM winners earn a profile badge and a profile award (underneath inventory in the mini-profiles, "Items" tab).
Do not ask someone to nominate your character/account/thread/board.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Form]

Category Title: The shortest title for your category idea, such as "Best Teacher."
Type: Whether it is for members, characters, boards, or threads (or something else if it truly doesn't fit any of those 4).
Qualifications: What you recommend the qualifications be for the OTM. What should staff look for when choosing a winner? What defines this award?
Nominations: If you have any nominations for the OTM you are suggesting, add it/them here in full detail (i.e. thread name/link, character name, member name, anything applicable). You can name as many nominations as you desire.

Featured Quote Suggestions

Help us put our best foot forward for the ideal first impression by suggesting memorable quotes in the top side-table!

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Rules]

Any quote said in a thread may be suggested, whether it be IC or OOC, dialogue or not, by character or by member. The cbox and statuses are not applicable, as they cannot be permanently linked to.
You may not suggest your own quotes but you do not have to be involved in the thread you pull another's quote from. It may be anything you feel is noteworthy, such as for its humor, wit, significance, drama, or accurate site vibe representation. It must be reasonable in length, preferably 1-2 sentences. If referencing an inside joke, something that your average user/visitor will be confused about, or something that requires the full post for context, it will most likely be rejected.
Quotes are updated when a suitable one is recommended and no more frequently than once a week. If multiple suggestions qualify and begin to accumulate, they will be chosen from accordingly when a new one is needed. If there is excessive pile-up, this thread may be locked until some of the waiting quotes can be whittled down.
Staff will edit each suggestion post to mark if it is: rejected (and why), pending (will be used in the future), or already featured/used (which case they will also indicate when compensation is distributed).
You will receive 5 coins for every quote you suggest that becomes featured. The author of the featured quote itself will also receive 5 coins/spirits.
Do not ask someone to nominate your quote.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Form]

Quote: The full quote exactly as given in the thread. If there are grammatical errors or something that needs to be tweaked, staff will handle it.
Author: Tag the @username of the quoted account; if a character, tag both the character and roleplayer.
Post: Link to the post containing the quote. To link to a post directly, hit "Options" at the top right of the post, choose "Link To Post," then copy/paste from the top "Link to this post in this thread" field.
Reason: Briefly explain why you think this quote is worth being showcased.

Submit your link here for open IC threads to be put into the "Random thread" button at the top of Vital Links sidetable. Please let us know when the thread is closed
(remove that side-table feature if I decide against this)

JANUARY 2019
Have a records tab for quotes that lists the past featured quotes
If I don't make "you can't nominate your own quote" a standard rule, then put it into the milestone badge rules. if I name the quote history tab anything other than "records" then I need to update the badge's description. same for the otms (records tab)
