HOW'S THE GAME?

It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as

HOW'S THE GAME?


Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.


This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at valawie (Valerie), fan of todd (TF), or never die ftw (Ashley).

Anonymous will be left off for this round. Sock journals are allowed, but you will have to request comm access to post with them.

Here are the sections that we've come up with. Add your own, and we'll edit it into the list. :)

Re: the cons

a) making sure it is listed everywhere as an official community, and clarified on WP posts that the posts are over in paradisabeyond.

b) I'm not sure how that works -- admission to join the comm has always been just about as fast as joining any other comm, and save the players who never joined their older character accounts to the comm, all the new character accounts should have been given access when joining the comms in the first place. What gives it the impression of exclusivity?

b) I'm playing devil's advocate here because I personally like paradisabeyond, but perhaps it's because it is technically "separate" from the rest of the game? In that the whole "people who don't care about World Beyond Plot don't have to read it" can also translate to "people who aren't playing in World Beyond Plot aren't allowed in our cool club," possibly.

I think giving it more publicity as you've pointed out in (a) may help alleviate these issues, though.

We had those exact same complaints when it was on the main comm, so hmm. Hard to know what to do there, aside from trying to get plots going castle-side simultaneously.
