TITLE SUBTITLE HEROES VILLAINS UNDEFINED SUPPORT WALLPAPER
CHARACTER ROLE TITLE
Just some notes:
Good work from last month guys, I really liked what I saw. Hopefully this month goes smoother and no titles are dropped. Remember new writers, Fantastic Four, Sorcerers Supreme, Alpha Flight, and Deadpool were all canceled, freeing up some major properties. I hope to see this month as a positive one, guys!

I'm supposed to have four claims right now. Can I use them now?

Only once you get your issue for the month up.

I'm going to say approved Jordan, though which Ox are you claiming, or are you wanting both?

Yeah, I'd say you should be allowed to use those claims now. In the future, I would suggest using them in the month you earned them but I see no problem with you using them now.

Didn't actually know there were two...if I can get both with one claim I'll take both, but if I can't then I just want Ronald.

Also, my 3rd of 4 claims:
Character: Doctor Strange Role: Hero Title: Dark City
I'll save my 4th one for down the line in the month because I'm debating who to use it on.

You can get both Jordan, I was just making sure you wanted both.

I'd like to request that the claims lists for the dropped titles be archived somewhere. It makes it easier to determine which claims are now up for grabs.

I don't feel as though that's necessary. The MCL was updated yesterday so if it isn't on the claims list, it is open. There's no need to have to maintain two separate lists.

I find it helps a lot when keeping track of who's available, and it's a lot easier than trying to go through old draft threads and claims threads to try to find who may have just become available.

I'm not sure what you mean? You only have to look at the Master Claims List to find out what's claimed. Making a list if every unclaimed property would be a massive list that is too hard to maintain and doesn't add anything that the MCL doesn't have.

I'm not talking about a list of every unclaimed Marvel property ever, I'm just talking about a list
On the DC site I maintain separate lists for both titles that drop and titles that make it into continuity before dropping.
The former helps as an admin and as a writer keeping track of which claims are available, since just because a title drops doesn't mean I immediately know which claims were under that title and that I might be able to use at a later date. I may make plans based on who's on the claims list a month ago that could change depending on things such as dropped titles opening up opportunities that weren't there before.
It's also a pain to know I've seen a character claimed and having to guess whether their absence on the MCL is due to a dropped title or if the MCL just hasn't been updated completely.
Plus seeing what other people might have been planning can help me think of ideas as well.

I personally don't see a purpose to it. But, if you want to compile and maintain it, more power to ya. It doesn't have my support though.

Also, Drake, you're approved. From now on, claims need to be posted the month they are earned, please.

See, I'm not an admin here (despite what the stars by my name say. don't really know why they're there.) But if you think it makes more sense for any writer/reader who thinks that the claim lists for past titles would be useful information, or at least the very interesting, has to dig go through every archived draft and claims thread on the whole forum, instead of an admin just moving the dropped claims list to a separate post, then so be it.

I like the way Ultimate DC does it. I have good memory so I usually know when something's been dropped and what isn't in play, but it does make it easier.

I was under the impression you were an admin. But, if you aren't, then I guess we should probably figure out how to take off the stars. Anyway, my vote is against it. I find the list pointless. I'll bring it up in the admin threads so everyone can voice their opinions.

I agree it's helpful to see what previous writers claimed. At least for the first month after it's dropped. And if it makes it into continuity it should stay until someone else claims the title or the claims are picked clean.

As I said, for at least the first month after the drop it is helpful.

I'm with Jordan. An extra list feels pointless. If you're looking for a character, go to the MCL and "search" using whatever browser you use to find the name of the character. If it doesn't appear then the character is open for claims.

Post by thetrueelec on Aug 2, 2014 20:54:47 GMT -5
Okay so I added a section to the MCL for dropped claims, they'll only be there for a month because at that point you should have been able to look them over enough times to get whatever you needed from them.
