Below is an excerpt from my RP text that I'm working on...the update of my text will be released tomorrow for those that care.
Scribes (Saving Feature)
Scribes will be how players save their character during online play. Scribes record all variables, flags, and strings the player has. When players resume playing after disconnecting from the server will start out at the last scribe they recorded at. Scribes also double as documenters of a player’s adventures and/or major events. These things can then be published into a book that other players may read; it can also be published at anytime and even updated! Since that probably a good majority of these stories will be adventure novels, the way they open will be determined by how the player began playing in the actual game. Some will travel from a far away land, others will have simply grown up in this world and start from there. As well as adventure novels, we plan on adding in other types of player-made books such as Informative books which may explain how to do something like farming. Players may also add in special comments to their stories such as tips on beating a certain type of monster and what not. Depending upon what a player does will determine how the story will come out…for those that have played a Mad-Lib-type game before that is how the stories will be “saved” so to speak…of course, we’ll edit them so they at least flow well. And yes, even those who are hell-bent on behaving in the fashion of a PlayerKiller will have stories that reflect their actions…although not desirable it may be implemented. I’m am even juggling the idea of “love” stories for those that want to venture into that realm as far as marriage and even rescuing a lost loved-one.
I haven't seen this been done yet...not even in other RPG-like games. While this probably will be a very daunting task, it isn't impossible to do
Please post feedback, I'm eager for suggestions
