Regulation of Unique Canon Items

Read and get familiar with the following. Also, I think it would be a good idea to restart the Last Known Owners of Canon items list after the writers choose the 3 items they want to keep. Only those items will be grandfathered in. With that, we will need to get started with a thread for people to claim the 3 items they would wish to keep. I'll post that up on Thursday evening. Please look over this so that when/if people have questions you are capable of answering them.

Known Owners of Unique Canon Items.

Due to the high interest in canon items and a desire to streamline these requests, the list of Last Known Owners of Canon Items will now be officially regulated by the Factory Staff. All desired claimed Canon Items will be required to go through the same Factory approval process as SW Chaos Technology, Vehicles, and Starships.

Note, this is for unique items such as holocrons, artifacts, named canon ships, etc.

Writers who own more than 3 items will have to chose from their collection the ones they wish to keep. The rest will be released into the galaxy. All pending claims will have to go through the following process of development threads, submission, review, and approval prior to being added into the list of Last Known Owners of Canon Items, .

Unique Canon Item Claim and Factory Submission Rules

Due to the timeline, it is assumed most canon items such as artifacts, starships, and technology went missing or were lost during the Gulag Plague. However, it is the writer's choice in how to go about searching, discovering, and claiming the canon item but please follow the below rules.

1. Create your Unique Canon Item Factory submission in the Factory respective to the type.(Technology, Vehicles, Starships.)
2. At the bottom of the submission, please post an announcement in bold. "This is a canon item "
3. Below your announcement, link to the Canon Item’s wookieepedia page.

Owning a Unique Canon Item or Artifact
1. Only one writer may own three Canon items. You, as a writer, may not own more than three canon items.

2. Each claim for a canon item must have their own development thread. Depending on the canon item, dev thread requirements may fluctuate.

3. Each Canon item must have their own Factory submission appropriate to its class. I.E. Technology, Vehicles, Starships.

4. Once approved, you may now request to claim it on the Last Known Owners of Canon Items, and link your approved submission.


Inactivity With Unique Canon Items

1. If a Canon Item Owner is absent for more than 30 days, any writer who does not already own a canon item may contest your claim by creating a submission of their own for the same Canon item. ( Linking as Primary Source the previous Factory submission to it if any and the Canon Wookieepedia Link.)

2. The Factory Judge presiding will alert a Role-play Judge, who will then attempt to contact the previous Canon Item Owner.

3. If the Role-play Judge fails to contact the previous Canon Item Owner within 72 hours and deems the Canon Item Owner inactive, the Role-play Judge will then alert an Administrator who will then transfer ownership of the original submission to the new Canon Item Owner, along with any edits made.

For grandfathered items, do they still need to be submitted to the factory again? And will we need to go back and find old threads and submit them as development threads?

Also, some factions possess canon items, like holocrons, will factions, as entities rather than writers, be permitted to continue doing so, or will they only be permitted to be owned by a singular writer?
 
[member="B.I.A.N.C.A MK VII"] Good question, I think we should keep to a singular writer unless you have an idea about how factions would work. Id like to try and not make this complicated

I think singular writers is just fine.

If writers want to use their allotment for the betterment of the faction, then they can do so. Otherwise this gets too complicated.

I assume this was just a recycling of canon companies, but it states, I assume explicitly, that only people who are not owners of any canon items, rather than the maximum three (3), be permitted to contest inactive writers. Is this meant to mean only if they do not own any, or is it just less than three? If so, I'd just like it fixed so people don't bring this up later.

One cannot claim an item if they are already at a max. That is already answered in the following rule stating that as a writer, they may only own 3 items. If they already own three items, they may not request a forth -- ergo, only those who have not maxed out their requirements may claim an inactive item.


Tho obviously, if you want to dev thread giving an item you have to someone else so you have a free spot then do so -- but update the list accordingly by a mod.

I agree with the notion of not allowing factions to hold them, I just was hoping I could get that answered now rather than later, as I'm sure there will be tons of questions about factions (as both the Galactic Republic and One Sith hold a fethton of holocrons). Could this be written into the list of rules and stuff regarding canon items - that only writers/characters can own canon items individually, and factions cannot claim them, nor companies and other organizations?

As for actually owning canon items, can characters give their items to other characters or do they need to be resubmitted each time with a development thread each time? I more mean gifts, like canon jewelry and such, but this also extends to major artifacts and the like.

Also, as this is all being basically redone, and those who own or have owned multiple (more than 3) canon items will have to part with those that exceed that number, will we consider all actions with canon items (such as destroying some and the like) null and void or something? Like what was believed to be the real deal was just a replica or something of the sort? This is more to make sense of the rule for a maximum of 3 items, as plenty of items throughout board history, in the past, were destroyed. If we're freeing up all these items I would think it would make more sense to completely start fresh beyond those that are grandfathered in.
 
1. If a Canon Item Owner is absent for more than 30 days, any writer who has not exhausted their three canon item slots may contest your claim by creating a submission of their own for the same Canon item. ( Linking as Primary Source the previous Factory submission to it if any and the Canon Wookieepedia Link.)


Is that better lis?

That is answered within the rules.

1. Yes people can give their items away for others to claim.
2. Those who are claiming the item must go through the new dev and submission request by creating their own submission and linking the primary source of the previous Factory submission.
3. Once approved, the old submission is archived and the new owner may claim it on the List via a mod request.


To me, it is rare that items would be gifted. I don't see a high turn over of subs when people have their 3 items selected.

It is of my opinion that if on Board Chaos they were destroyed and in Canon they were destroyed... then they are destroyed.

[member="Spencer Jacobs"] may have a different opinion tho.

Is this better lis?
 
On the subject of that, as I just thought about it, how would we go about doing a process for destroying future canon items, would we submit the item and state in the submission that the item was destroyed during the development thread, and would that count towards the 3 items that a writer may own, or is there no real process to this and we just notify an RPJ/Admin after completing a thread of some sort?

[member="Cira"], I think this is worded slightly better.

That works. [member="Spencer Jacobs"] thoughts?

This is just my opinion. [member="Spencer Jacobs"] can refine or veto as such.

1. Submit the Item with dev thread.
2. Claim the Item after approval.
3. Dev thread destroying it.
4. Post a Mod with the dev thread stating it was destroyed.

And I'm of the mind that yes, it would count -- because you are cutting off a major canon item from anyone else on the board.
