On the discord, a good handful of people expressed interest in adding a library to the station. We figured it fits well as a hang-out location, a murder location (just think of the murder mysteries!), and a good spot for the oh-so-underused bookshelf. There were a few opinions, but I think we settled on the idea of replacing the chapel with a library on at least a couple stations (Aloe suggested perhaps donut2/cog2/others maybe If i recall correctly.) Or to add it onto the chapel. I wanted to put the idea down in a more permanent setting, and in a place where more than just RP players look!!
To summarize:
IDEAS:
- Replace Chapels with libraries (I think we can let the chaplains keep their jobs, however. It can be a religious library ^^) (Pros: Less space! Cons: No chapel
)
- Add a library to chapels (Pros: We keep the chapel, room for librarian gimmick job. Cons: needs more space)
WHY IS THIS NEEDED?
A lot of players don't visit the chapel. I believe part of this is that the chapel doesn't serve much use for the average player. On RP, this is exacerbated by the fact that not many people want to RP out their character having religious beliefs. This change could allow both those who want to RP other things and those who want to RP having a religion to visit the library to have reasons for visiting. Additionally, I think encouraging players to write books and keep them in the persistent bookshelf is a positive thing for the community (I love player written things, like the notice-board!).
I don't think it wholly solves the issue of the chapel being barren of activity, but I think this could still play along with the player-project to modify the chaplain role. Incenses and libraries go along nicely, and who wouldn't want to sip a brew made by the chaplain while they read a player-book about rockworms
