@Mr.Moloch:
By CoA Sims we mean:
Dwarves wanting to make bricks to rebuild buildings.
I'm curious how players even expect CoA Sims to work? I doubt any DM wants to oversee people making bricks. None of us are looking to see another refugee center take hold.
I want to rebuild a ruined building.
Let's say its a temple of my faith, to accomplish its rebuilding I go out on adventures seeking a lost relic of my faith, the tomb of a hero to my faith, or I hunt down rumors of some mighty monstrosity my faith would seek to destroy as a symbol of its power. Then–when people are in awe of my adventuring, I tell them to reward me or honor me by rebuilding my temple. I'd battle against through sermons, conversion, duels, and perhaps ultimately an impressive final show down against a priest of a rival faith I'd do the same to have my temple built even if it wasn't yet.
Thought this may have nothing at all to do with a plot going on involving an idea of dwarves wanting to help rebuild the city it seems to be pretty close to the same lines of what I've been working on so I had to at least comment.
In some cases, the DMs may see the same information most of the playerbase does. This is a fluffy sims-style plot it's just a dwarf wanting to rebuild something. Underneith it though if you were able to witness some of the dialogue that isn't on the forums or available to most of the player base you might find the reason for this is to gain political stance and trade power as the influence of being surrounded by structures that support your race / class / religion help grant some level of push in the political realm.
Add to this a public face of good deeds and recognition of some of the more powerful people in the city to create a buffer for yourself should your not-so-good agenda become public. Who would ever expect the one responsible for a great amount of the reconstruction to be capable of this and that? Who would believe it?
Do you propose that we send our plot ideas to the dms to give them a heads up about what we're trying to accomplish so that you know that perhaps listening in won't be awaste of time?
