Hi everyone,
So Chrissie and I have been talking about how sometimes it's difficult to get some characters interacting for various reasons and as such we've put our heads together to see what we can do as Mods to help you and the characters along, to ensure the best experience possible as far as character relationships and storytelling goes.
What we've come up with is something we like to refer to as
The Scene Lottery, which is basically like a regular Lottery only instead of numbers you have your characters and random prompts. Sorry folks, we wish we could make you millionaires but alas we're just not
that powerful ;)
For example:
Sebastian Shaw is #7 and Greer Grant is #21. Both these numbers get pulled together along with the prompt
'Tell Me A Secret' and then it's up to the players to figure out how best to fulfil the prompt together.
It's just something fun, intended to shake things up and see what fun random scene interactions can happen as a result!
Just a couple things:
1) This is on a volunteer basis so you put forward which characters you want going into the pot. We’d suggest you pick carefully, to make sure you don’t overload one whilst another is bereft of interaction (e.g. Chrissie has Sofia who is a busy bee what with her 6 threads, but then poor old Natalia has 0 so she wouldn’t throw Sofia at the mercy of Lady Luck and instead would offer up Natalia).
2) Each time we’ll ask you to volunteer 1-2 characters max.
3) A ‘volunteer here!’ post will go up approximately a week before the Lottery is due to take place and we’ll ask you to put your “tributes” forward. All comments will be screened so it’ll be a surprise for all!
4) You can opt out, last thing we'd want is to force you to do anything you really aren't feeling, but we'd appreciate it if you gave it a try.
5) If you're on a hiatus you're automatically opted out.
6) There's no set time limit on when the scenes have to take place.
We’d be looking to run the first Lottery on 16th January 2014.
With love,
Mands
