Weekly Event Idea
Hi gang, I have an idea I'd like to run past you all to see who likes and dislikes it. The basic idea is that once a week, once an activity check or once a month, depending upon how often you all want it, we will all organize an OOC thread to come up with a plot idea for one character. Stay with me, I'll explain.
The event would go down the cast list, and we would all pitch in ideas for something to happen to that character. This would be something normally out of the character's control, such as... finding a wallet on the street, nearly being hit by a car, a wrong number call, even being mugged. Obviously, big/dramatic/dangerous/etc events, we would obviously need player approval. Characters have much freedom over this, so going with the found a wallet theme, they can handle it off camera and simply have their character walking around with extra cash, they can drag another character into the setting and base a thread around finding the wallet, they can even plot with others to have the lost wallet belong to another played character.
So, do you all like the idea? I think it could be a fun way to get thread ideas with inputs from other players and perhaps inspire some out of the box thinking and threads. If you guys do like, how often would you like to do these? Please keep in mind that the only way this will work is if at least several people participate in each thread to come up with ideas, so please factor that into your thoughts on how frequently this should happen.
