HOW'S THE GAME?

[paradisamods]

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. :)

➜ HOW'S THE STAFF
➜ RETURNING CHARACTERS
➜ THE CITY AND WORLDBUILDING
➜ ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
➜ PLOTTING 101
➜ APPLICATION SAMPLES

yes yes yes. this. we have such an interesting mix of characters, and it's always the plots that stem from ic-actions not specifically tied to sudden castle losses that I find the most compelling around here.

So the question becomes, what's the best way to encourage this? Because obviously the plotting meme alone is not enough?

I'm not sure what would be another way to encourage this. I know I could do better with maybe posting to the OOC when I do things with my character that could involve more people, it's just a balance of wanting to plot with people and not wanting to seem self-important maybe? But really, it feels more organic when the castle isn't relied on to provide most of the major conflict and development. It'd help a lot to mix up casts from different canons too.

We've had a few things in the past, but it'd be wonderful to see them more frequently!
