Things we need (maybe)

1. Fris's stickied post. At the very least, we need to have a link to it, I think we need to put more of the essence of that post into the about section if not copying it outright.
2. Sub-basement mutants - no mention of them anywhere. Plus I miss being on B14, but fine - something to worry about later.

Comments, other ideas, should I go ahead and write it myself? --Forgottenlord 19:40, 24 February 2006 (GMT)

I'll add in Fris's link. Gruen2alk 19:53, 24 February 2006 (GMT)

Is there an "official" list of floors? If there is, we should probably link to it. Also, we probably need notes on how it is way overcrowded, the building administration, and maybe a link to the Hualein thread, which contains a large discussion of it. –|–– Ceo \ rant 01:52, 25 February 2006 (GMT)

This is the closest thing to an official list that exists. Flibbs who controls the "UN Building Mgmt" account has basically taken over as the decider of who's where on the directory - with consideration to requests (almost always granting them unless it messes up his list). He's basically just taken what's been discussed both IC and OOC on the UN forum and related off-forum pages where the matter has been discussed, put together a general basis of how it would look, and then adapted it as more and more opinions came in. When Jey started up this page, there was a rush to get Flibs list up - and with a few small changes (mainly, a bunch of sub-basements disappeared - it used to be I was on B14 with UNOG on B13 and a lot of vacated space in-between), but it was decided that for a building that's officially overflowing from the number of delegates who need offices, it just wasn't a credible situation with all that blank space. --Forgottenlord 05:14, 27 February 2006 (GMT)

RP Notice

OK, sorry, but it really bugs me when players "barge" into this "RP" (and for all intents and purposes, this is an RP) and just assume that their nations' offices are on such and such a floor, and edit the page accordingly. Seems a bit presumptuous for my taste, so I've been removing the offenders, and just added a request that nations clear desired office space with UN Building Mgmt. If ya wanna play, ya gotta play by the rules. So, is this notice necessary? Or am I just being a prick? Thoughts? Anyone?

I've added a couple threads about UN office-space roleplay to the Additional Materials section. Also, the intro seems a little dull; I'll Kennify it later, barring any objections ... going once ... going twice ... Omigodtheykilledkenny 15:04, 12 March 2006 (GMT)

Sounds good. You might want to clarify how one "clears" office space w/ UNBM. Also, I would suggest putting the RP notice in comment tags (<!-- Please do not add an office to this list unless you have cleared it with UN building mgmt --> or something like that), so it doesn't clog up the page.

I took care of that. Ceo \ rant \ rave 19:19, 12 March 2006 (GMT)

Forgive my ignorance, but what are comment tags? What do they do? Are they supposed to be invisible? Because the comments simply disappeared when you added them. I took them out because I thought they may not be working right. Please help. Omigodtheykilledkenny 21:25, 13 March 2006 (GMT)

Comment tags make the text a "comment" that is visible only when editing. I used them at CHDI for a purpose that they are used here: to ask people to only add their nation if it is "official". I like to use them rather than displaying the text, because not adding your nation really has nothing to do with the content of the page. Ceo \ rant \ rave 22:41, 13 March 2006 (GMT)

Well, I added it to the actual entry because I figured it would be helpful if the front page featured a link to the site where you can request an office. It really wouldn't help anybody if it was hidden in the edit page, because I don't know how many people would actually see it. Sorry. Omigodtheykilledkenny 03:52, 17 March 2006 (GMT)

It's not a big deal; my only concern was that it looked very obnoxious (bold + italic + brackets = AHHH!). I've toned it down some without compromising the message. Hope that's all right. Ceo \ rant \ rave 04:46, 17 March 2006 (GMT)

Removing the brackets, bold marks, etc., is fine. I'll get around to livening up the intro later. Omigodtheykilledkenny 02:42, 18 March 2006 (GMT)

Apparently the "clear office locations with UNBM" sign doesn't always work, I noticed that Meame UN Mission added themselves and UNBM hasn't been asked at all.Flibbleites
