17 Merits Merit Flaw

Seven the Wiki SysOp here at WoD News spent time combing over the CCP images posted recently that we reported about. Specifically the image of the Atlanta office where the MMO is in development that shows a white board full of charts and text. Here is what he could make out after combing though the enlarged image of the photo in question, feel free to post comments to add to anything you feel he missed.
 
Seven
Deciphered a bunch of the scribble, working from left to right.
 
Flowchart into Facebook Page
 
4) Disciplines! -> Overpowered + unique. -> Implement using 1,2,3?
 
5) Create ways players can use to facilitate communication -> Justin on this. telecast?, social networking.
 
6) Embrace player-made content. -> Our content backdrop/backstory - basis for their content.
 
7) Create guidelines for design docs. -> scalable format. -> written implementation (can't read). -> Determining importance of this. 100,000 "slots". (directed to from something off-screen) 800 per district -> 400 above ground/400 underground (cannot read) -> What does that feel like per district? How many tasks? 100? = 2,500 tasks?
 
How many social gathering points?
 
How many/how often should "events" occur? -> How many music changes, etc..
 
Clans -> Disc. (Overpowered and ??)
(cant read comment beneath Clans)
 
Momentum at release? (cannot read comment)
 
Social Rites! -> Sheriff
 
Content should not stifle game play - HP 4 hours!!!
 
Drawn layout on the board with a comment that seems to read 'Hunting grounds'.
 
Gehenna Basic story Story threads using old plot (VTM, VTES, CAM) -> these create story backlog to draw from District by district + crosscity Valentine and Gallows specific additions and changes Mega city - trans city - mega district - trans district - location theme p tasks ? tasks p2p tasks All direct to -> All tasks (cant read) ? + (Cant read) - Module (or model) of (cant read)
