Classleads

Written by: Dec
Date: Friday, February 21st, 2020
Addressed to: Everyone


In celebration of finishing classleads, we're going to open a short round of classleads. This one will be a little different than the last few in that you can submit only a single classlead. This is intended to be a small round to clean up on the last round only.

When submitting your classlead please keep in mind a few general points:
* You should explain why this class needs this change. Asking for something that another class has without saying why this class needs it too generally won't go far. Classes are supposed to be different.
* Do not assume your reader knows anything.
* Assume that the monkeys paw will implement any grants. Be specific about what you want.
* Being right is not enough. You need to convince others that you are right and that they should care.
* Avoid adverbs. Words like "obviously, clearly, plainly" are the opposite of persuasive.
* Positive solutions are preferred over negative ones. We are more likely to add a skill to counteract another than delete an existing skill.
* Multiple solutions should be offered. Problems with a single solution are more likely to be passed by.

Finally, please please comment on any proposed classlead that you care about. Classlead comments make or break classleads more often than not. If you say nothing, don't complain if I do something stupid.

Onward to 2021

Hi folks! This year has been a challenge on many of us, and I can only hope the next year goes by more smoothly. Having said that, we have reached the end of 2020, woo! This was my first not-quite-a-year on Imperian, and it has been a whole learning experience. It has been a bit…
