University Application Post/Thread
« on: February 15, 2023, 04:14:47 PM »
I have a relatively simple suggestion for those people who want to make characters tied to the University of Port-a-Lucine to enroll as a student. I post since a few players have approached me about confusion about University stuff.

Here is my proposal: A post listing something like the Underworld forum here: https://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php?topic=16607.0

To be clear not asking for a University forum just a one stop shop standard app for University so DMs can copy and paste it on DM IC forums with the character's name, schools of choice, etc and records of school points/credit is on the onus of the player to achieve and acquire evidence without more work for the DMs just to get the foot in the door. A player apps, can be accepted or not when they have paid i.e. able to hail a DM who is doing stuff like bug fixes, renames, item renames, etc.

I really like this idea

Static tuned in to reason
Time in the aether deepens;Transmissions blink uncompleted

Idea is great
I know its not on the table but A uni forum would be perfect tbh for housing lecture announcements, student role calls, resources for study, graduated students. The uni is a widely used and under resourced part of the server. Would be nice to show it some love forum side.

+1. A University forum would also be cool. University stuff seems very confusing and closed off as an outsider.

Good idea.

I still think the Dementlieu university would make a great official faction.

The process is already streamlined, but I don't see what implementing a simple form like this would hurt. Just shifts the IC letter you send to the DM team to an OOC one, same difference.

I feel no feelings one way or the other for this, so my +1 is actually for my post count.

In a related note,

It would be nice if there was a minimum time between an individual student's lectures. It's getting hard to find time on the calendar that isn't in conflict, and I'm not sure how immersive it is to crank out degrees in a couple weeks.

I agree with this.

100% yes, playing a scholarly char the opportunity of the uni has always been immensely enticing but the sort of lack of place to go, who to talk to, how to get involved or just a general single place for info has made it a bit ehhhhhh to try and figure out how to do so without having to do alot of ooc back channeling and hunting to even begin trying to get involved.

To put thoughts expressed elsewhere into writing here, I think the university would benefit a good deal from a post like the ones factions have. I don't mean turn it into a faction, but rather centralize what should be available information in and out of character in one easy to reference post.
