Proposal: I’m Gonna Be a Producer!

Self-killed. Adminned by Alethiophile.

“I’m gonna be a producer! Sound the horn and beat the drum I’m gonna be a producer! Look out Hollywood, here I come!”
(with apologies to Leo Bloom)

Proposed new dynastic rule, entitled: “Making a Film”

From time to time, the Investor may make a post to the Blog announcing that a Film will be produced, stating the title of the Film, the number of roles that will be cast in that Film.  This post will be stickied.  The Wiki will contain a page entitled “Films”.  That page will contain a section entitled “Films in Production”.  Each Film that has been announced as being in production will have a sub-section under “Films in Production” until that Film is Released.  Each Film’s subsection under “Films in Production” will describe:

* the number of Actors that will be cast in that Film,
* the requirements that an Actor must satisfy in order to be eligible to Audition for a role in that Film,
* the date and time that casting for that Film will close,
* the date and time that the Film will be Released,
* the manner in which it will be determined how much (if any) Box Office the Film generated,
* the manner in which it will be determined how much (if any) Critical Acclaim the Film generated, and
* the manner in which the Film’s Box Office and Critical Acclaim will be allocated to each Actor that was cast in that Film.

Once casting closes with respect to a particular Film in production, the Film’s sub-section under “Films in Production” will be appropriately updated to indicate the final cast of the film.

The “Films” page in the Wiki will also contain a section entitled “Released Films”.  Each Film that has been Released will have a subsection on that page describing:

* The final cast of the Film,
* The Box Office that the Film generated,
* The Critical Acclaim that the Film generated, and
* With respect to each Actor that was cast in that Film, the Box Office and the Critical Acclaim awarded to that Actor arising from that Film.

against Like I said. This is too much like events.

I agree with Clucky here. Very well worded, and would be cool if we hadn’t just done the same thing with medals and TP.

against If we are going to have something like this it need to be tied in more closely with the other mechanics that look like they are going to pass.

If there’s some way to tie this with the past movies we’ve played in, maybe, but right now, considering what little we have defined, let’s leave this one alone.

against OK, withdrawn for now.  Let’s see how the other outstanding proposals resolve.

This is why I proposed that the “oldest pending proposal” rule be revised. We’ve got several s-ked or obviously failing proposals, but the oldest pending, Filmography, is controversial and will take the whole 48 hours to be adminned. For now, these are just plugging up the queue.
