As more and more people join the forum, we wanted to set up an official thread for people to stake their claim on creating OT (Official Threads) for upcoming Games, Events (such as shows or Hardware Launches) or for particular Hobbies or Areas of interest. The main goal of this thread is for people to establish intent so we don’t have multiple community members working on separate OTs for the same thing and wasting their time (there can be only on OT). If multiple people want to work on an OT for the same thing, the hope is that this thread could serve as a launching point for them be aware of each others interest and then look to collaborate.
Once a thread is claimed, it will be added to the OT Index for easy identification, and removed upon completion.
SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR CLAIMING AND CREATING OTs:
- In general, please claim threads only for games that have a release date announced that is 12 months or less out.
- When claiming an OT, please be personally interested in the game and be willing to keep it updated with relevant information while the OT remains active.
- While the layout and design of the OT, as well as the information included in it is up to the creator, please ensure that |OT| is included in the thread title along with the game title, and other basic information about the game (Release Timing and Platforms, Developer and Publisher Information, Pricing, etc.) is included in the body.
- If you change your mind and no longer want to or otherwise become unable to create the OT, please be sure to update this thread.
- If another member of the community wants to contribute to the creation of the OT, please consider accommodating their requests within reason.
HOW TO CLAIM A THREAD:
- Simply post in this thread using the following format:
Code:
[b]GAME TITLE[/b] by [url=link to your d-pad user page]USERNAME[/URL] ([url=link to your claim's post]TODAY'S DATE[/url])
GAME RELEASE DATE
To get to your d-pad user page, click on your username in the top right corner and then click on your username once more from the box that pops out. Copy the URL (https://d-pad.life/members/zefah.7/ in my case) and paste it to replace the “link to your d-pad user page” text above.
Since we users from around the world and different date formats are used, please always write out the name of the month to avoid any confusion.
Note: As we know putting together an OT is no easy feat and requires a lot of work, we have a dedicated board (OT Prep) set aside on the site specifically for the affording OT creators the space to map out their OTs as well as get advice on any technical issues. It is not obligatory to use this board when preparing your OT, however access is available by request if you are working on an OT via @Mirabilis or @Musky_Cheese
