This forum thread will be a repository for rewrite suggestions of already existing materials on the website. These rewrites will cover language and grammar clarifications for ease of use, restructuring of statements for clarity, simplified or expanded descriptions for clarity, and minor bug fixes. Anything that would change a feature drastically (in which it behaves differently in function beyond a small degree) or add a new feature will be listed as a separate suggestion thread and linked back here.

Hello Zak! A very ambitious undertaking you have going on. However, we have different forum sections whereby to post different things. Please post any issues or suggestions you find in the proper forum. Also - when something has been recieved and looked over, it tends to get moved to Resolved regardless of it changes have been made. So you may need to simply post each item separately!

Thanks Bella! I have dozens of notes and comments on things scribbled down on pieces of cardboard all throughout my office (don't ask) so I figured it is about time to start putting them up where someone can see them! Most things tend to be references to 'hits' prior to the change to the term hp, and others relating to armor as damage reduction rather than added hit points.
As I start with more and varied things to be brought to your attention, I will certainly end up taking over the suggestions and ideas forum, lol, so I figured it was best to start in one place. As I expand, I will end up with posts in the races, magic, etc sections of the suggestions forum as well. When this happens, I may simply create a post in the general suggestions superforum that may act as an index or sorts. For now, starting small(heh, understatement much), most things in the same section of the he website will be kept in the same posts. No reason to have 4 forum threads talking about the change of wording in different sections of the same website subpage!

If it's a wording issue on the site you can private message those to me through the forum. The problem is the site changed hands a few times. There are 2 of us on task going through the site for just those sorts of things now , on top of other duties. So send to me and they'll get handled.
It only needs a thread if you are suggesting a change or addition. Not continuity.

Not all of them are 'issues' and inconsistencies, but some of them also pertain to outdated information, contradictory information or information that would potentially be the subject of a Question by a new player that was confused by said information. When it would come towards the Magic section of things, which would not be in this same thread of course, well then there may be more done than just pointing out "hey this says this instead of this" - for the Magic, there may be suggestions of general restructuring of how spells are presented and what information is given in each spell description which may be considered a more concrete change. Regardless, I would gladly take this thread back down and move my work into a shareable document for your perusal. The main reason why it was set out to be a thread in the first place rather than an IM is because it is something of an eternal WIP - whenever I get time to take to my notes and write things out is when things would have been added or updated to the thread.

Hey Zak, we actually have an admin team and a few specifically going through the site and updating and fixing errors. As Bella stated, if you wish to help out you can send things directly to her. My advice would be get a google doc started and then share the link with her but again, we have admin currently combing through this. I don't want players spending their time doing staff related tasks when they could be on sim role playing and helping to create story. But yeah even as you suggested, shareable document is the next step here. Thank you!
