[quote=“Uneron, post:22, topic:5033”]I don’t think a poll is the way to go though, as that would only add a few choice ones, meaning all journals could be quickly discovered in-game. A better approach would be that all journals that are good enough would be added, making it possible for everyone to contribute a bit of story that can be later found within the game.
Not sure how to set it up though. Perhaps a voting system, everything with at least this many votes gets put in where everyone has an unlimited amount of votes? Or a small committee (3 to 5 or something) of trustworthy volunteers that decide, whereas every story that all members agree on gets put in?[/quote]
That kinda doesn’t make sense…like you said that poll wasn’t the way to go and then said a voting system should be put in place??
They’re the same thing aren’t they?
If there was a dedicated team to look after the journal entries then that’d be great, but I imagine there would be hundreds to go through and I doubt anyone would fancy trawling through pages and pages of rubbish ones (and people will undoubtedly get annoyed when theirs don’t get included) every week to add the best ones. Plus, those people selected for the committee would need to be trustworthy enough to do it which would make finding people difficult.
I’d suggest to start with small/one day diary entries (like max 200 words) which could be made and submitted to a site (or one could be made) which people could then vote for. The top 10 could be added and then a new round would start. This would make it a community decision, and be an ok decider of quality. I just imagine the biggest problem would be that some people would come out with like 5000 world journal entries which would take wayyyy too long to go through.
