I can take care of the Waiting Room, artistic stuff isn't really my niche. Of course I'd check builds too, but one person can't check all of them, so I think that goes without saying. Archivist would be cool too. Damn, perhaps one day we'll have actual forum titles based on these.

Any idea if we are getting a board for the referees? It'd be that much easier to do these discussions in a thread dedicated to referee business.

Then: we need titles.  See the waiting room ref post for what I'm talking about.

I'll take the Title: Sir Ownsalot. ;)
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Sorry, barely been on the past couple days. (RL caught up with stuff). I haven't grabbed Meg yet, but I'm officially doubling my efforts... :)

Okay then. *adds*
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

I have an idea on homebrews: as high refs, we go through and look at submitted things.  If the rules are clear enough that it can actually play and it isn't utterly stupid (re: Truenamer), it can enter.  What we do is put (in red, like always) things that can be improved.  See what I did just now in the waiting room for an example.  Then after we outline flaws and state whether it's weak, strong, or on target,  we say either "ready to accept" or "acceptance on condition x" where x is a minimum condition for actual playability (not hopelessly ambiguous, for instance), and if it's ready to accept, the creator (or poster, really) can either say to wait, or to add it in, accepting that no changes may be made after it is accepted into the arena without a formal withdrawal and re-submission.

Ideas and/or elaborations?

So will we be copying the homebrews into the arena? Because otherwise I see this happening.

Writer: Submit
High Ref: You can fix A, B, or C. Would you like to submit it now?
Writer: yes.
-Silence-
Writer: Gets feedback and changes things
Joe: Submits a character based on fixed class...

That's the only issue I can see.  I mean, we COULD, but it would take up a lot of space and take a lot of work to do, most likely.  For the record I typed that into my reply, then deleted it before posting because of the above reasons.

There could be a thread for approved homebrews, with an index in the first post.

Prime?  Tshern?

My vote is Aye.  It will be a lot of work, but I feel it would be worth it.  Also include a link to the original thread.  Just soes the original author can get feedback.

Alright, so I think the unchecked homebrews should go in the waiting room, like the unchecked gladiators, but I can see the reasoning behind putting them in the accepted homebrews section as well.  So.....I don't know what would be best.  I guess we could do both places but that would be extra unnecessary work.
