Hi,
I think that all Items, NPCs, Rooms, and PCs should have an OOC entry space, similar to the bio entries.
As in, multiple entries with infinite space to write information.
PCs should be able to see and update and add their own OOC entry, but not be able to see any of the OOC information on NPCs, Items, and Rooms.
Examples:
item 12544:
October 12, 2004
- Created by Account Mansa, Character Billy. A gift for Borsail Noble Jilly for selling Billy a few pleasure slaves. Not to be reproduced unless for a Borsail Noble of rank SENIOR and with a mastercrafter available in House Kadius.
January 4, 2008
- Loaded up for Borsail Noble Tilly after giving Kadius 200,000 coins towards a copper bathtub.
Feb 20, 2008
- Stolen by Milly the pickpocket
Feb 21, 2008
- Milly died and item was lost in crash.

- Created room for Guild. Secret invisible closet that only whirans and sorcerers can see. Secret room to the south with keyword 'Trapdoor'.

This is in the works for Arm 2, and we have some ability to do this on a small scale on Arm 1. It is not something we would invest in for Arm 1.
What a tremendous idea. I'll be happy to see this someday!
Yay.
I know that information is hard to track, and this is just another way to keep track of it.
If it's for Armageddon 2.0, I'm sure the immortal staff will have fancy web applications that can edit all of this information without having to be inside the game, too!
oooooo.
isn't anyone else imagining how cool it would be to have a spell that would access all the ooc notes like this?
I think the above would be cool.
Additionally, just having this information would be a helpful resource to staff and allow players to mark the world a bit more.
