Talk:Disciplinary Action
I was a bit ambivalent toward this story when reading it's name in the Recent Changes page, but I must admit, I am intrigued. The punishment guidelines, while odd, are also arousing. I look forward to more. What's the stance on suggestions? --Notsooldpervert (talk) 05:47, 4 September 2017 (CEST)
Thanks for giving the story a chance. I'm bad with names and titles, and I didn't stop to think that perhaps the title wouldn't give the best first impression. As stated in the story editing rules, all suggestions are not only welcome, but encouraged, either in the form of requests to fill a particular path, creation of new paths or directly writing part of the story. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 06:01, 4 September 2017 (CEST)
An idea of how to make this activity legal, and why the town is just now implimenting these measures... i'm thinking the supreme court has been revitalized with younger judges as they die off or retire. Now they lean more toward constitutional libertarian views. As such they sided with a state against federal law saying that under the constitution federal law is supposed to apply only to situations that affect the country as a whole. That means that state laws now supercede federal laws when it applies just to their state, and local laws supercede state level as long as it stays local. As long as he stays within the guidelines set down by the local governing body, he's perfectly covered legally. Except where his sister and niece/daughters are concerned. With him being discplinarian for the school, she could make the girls "legal" by putting them in school. It would be no time at all before their individuality landed them in his office. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 17:45, 10 October 2017 (CEST)
The idea of town accepting some form of concubinage has merit. It can be seen as the lesser evil in cases where a single male makes two girls pregnant, so neither family loses face. I will keep it in mind if the situation presents itself. As far as the legality of what's happening in town, we haven't even established a concrete location or time period for the town, and it might just be they are isolated enough that they can disregard outside laws, or they have enough political pull to do so. If it ever becomes relevant we might decide to use your suggestion, but for now I feel it's enough to accept it at face value. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 00:21, 11 October 2017 (CEST)
One issue with that suggestion actually is that it sorta conflicts with our justification of how they got a sex-ed program started and being taught in 4th grade. That justification suggests both modern day and a top-down system. I am sure if we go with that suggestion though it would be easy enough to change things up. We might have to change the industry from Solar to something else though. Actually, if we set it up in the 60s then textiles becomes a plenty viable option.
It's doable, but we have to remove several mentions of computers, hair dyes and other amenities not present in the 60s, so I'm not sure it's worth it. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 00:56, 11 October 2017 (CEST)
I just want to go on the record and say how much I love the layout you guys are using. The links at the top to go through each step of the story path, and the back button to the previous choice are extremely helpful. Just saying. --Notsooldpervert (talk) 01:54, 9 November 2017 (CET)
Thanks! I decided to put the back button to help readers that got to a new chapter from the |Recent Changes page and didn't know where in the story it fit. They could always click on the "What links here" to find out, but I felt a back button was nicer. The breadcrumbs are actually made automatically by the wiki software, all we have to do is take care in naming the chapters of the story consistently. All I did was made the automatic title of the chapters much smaller, so the breadcrumbs stand out a bit more. --Tod Naturlich (talk) 21:15, 9 November 2017 (CET)
Hey, I was thinking, with all the various plots,sub plots and alternative decisions that this story has, it would probably be a good idea to lable the paths that are considered the Canon paths like I did with Ms. Varano's offer in the Kellie story. That way readers and future authors don't get confused about what is a path that can be continued on the main page and what is an alternative just for fun and variety path.

I have been trying to stay conscious with that by throwing choices that recall which past event had happened which you want to continue this route. Although, there are a few routes where I just kinda throw it as though a certain route was cannon. It's a difficult idea to manage. Jemini (talk) 13:15, 3 March 2020 (CET)
I really think it would be helpful to prevent things like my mistake with Bevvy's punishment and to help keep things consistent. If one path is labeled canon, then future writers won't add non-canon things to the main page, which will cause confusion, especially when you have things that end up conflicting, like with Mary's marriage to the MC and the cheerleaders punishment. Which end up resulting in one section having to be completely rewritten or deleted. Telgar (talk) 04:48, 3 March 2020 (PST)
