Board organization with recruits

[Nerissa(SHA-5310)]

Given robothero's stance on anonymous boards, here's my thought.

(1) I change everyone's display name to some alias. We keep this on our Player List thread, so we know who is who (and the narrators will also be able to tell). I'm thinking simple SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, SHA-4, SHA-5.

(2) I give the 5 of us and the narrators specific access to the main board (which I will probably rename something appropriate)

(3) I create a second subforum for all registered members, us and converts

(4) As we convert people, we invite them to the board. As they register, I change their screen names, possible Convert-1, Convert-2, etc. I keep these names on the Player List as well. Recruits should be told in advance that their screen name will be changed and why.

We do NOT share our players list with the converts. We ask that they keep their identities secret for the obvious reason that they can still be converted by other factions. We probably tell them our abilities.

Anyone see a problem with this plan?

my only problem with this is if they are on our board and get converted, we probably won't know they are converted and they will continue to read our posts...

maybe that's just the paranoia talking..

that's why they don't get access to THIS board, just the other one

and we're all very careful on the other one to not give away who we are or our specific plans

oh damn... when you quote someone, their LOGIN name shows up in the quote tags, so you'd see it if you were the one quoting them.

I'm thinking that everyone should re-register with a SHA-xxxx login name. Use the same e-mail address you used for your original register or PM me on the PA boards so I know who is who, and I'll update the Players list and deactivate your old account as I get you approved.

My login is "admin" so I think I'm safe, and obviously the narrators don't need to, but everyone else who will need to keep their identity hidden once we start adding recruits should.

When we invite a convert, we should specifically ask them to sign up as "Recruit-x" where x is the day they were converted (i.e. our first convert would be Recruit-2)

why can't we just make a new board that the recruits get to see?

that also works... I was personally hoping to not have to keep tabs open to 3 different proboards, but the way things are going, I probably won't have that problem for long
