/old version of this page
How to divide it up
The question still remains as to how to divide the page up.
We need some kind of structure, because a list of a hundred or more names just isn't something that is useful.
Let's sum up the structures that were proposed:
- By number of rulerships
- By a self-assessment of fame (as shown on the page at the moment)
- By home island
What other ideas can we come up with? Let's do a little brainstorming. No criticising, just collection of thoughts, then we have fun shooting them down, ok?
--Tom 4 August 2005 11:22 (CEST)
- Hmm. How about:
- Straight-up alphabetical order
- Guild memberships or other (less formal) associations
- Favorite class
- Home island and home realm
- Length of time in game
- By region (I'm thinking something like the Domesday Book here)
- Actual numerical fame value (We should probably have a "famous families" page for that, anyway)
- --Dolohov 4 August 2005 16:36 (CEST)
We definitely need a sort order that doesn't change all the time, which rules out fame, guild or realm memberships.
Alphabetical is something that we don't have to set up - if everyone puts his family page into a "families" category, we get that for free as an added bonus.

- I was actually thinking that it would be a feature if the order changes -- if it were ordered by fame, for example, it would get people returning to this page every time they gained a fame point. --Dolohov 4 August 2005 20:49 (CEST)
We are restricting the community portal?
What a great community that will be. Come on Tom this is not what you are about.
And I was serious. I am not up for a watered down pissing match. Either get out the tale of the tape (Baseball terminology for lets measure) or water it down completely and just make it a game feature. --Eric S P 6 August 2005 10:39 (CEST)
Reasons for neutral tone
There are many reasons for remaining neutral on this one page and leaving the "pissing contest" to the family pages themselves. Two main reasons:
- There might be hundreds of families on this page. The difference between "1 line, no bragging" and "keep it short, maybe 3-4 lines" is 10 or more pages of text.
- Once the pissing contest starts, it will get out of control. Someone will not be happy with bragging about himself and will insert a comment on someone else's family. Then that one will want to get even. Then families will be deleted, and down we go.
This is a final decision. No pissing contest on the intro page.
