would anyone be interested in a basic town game where you apply (quick & easy) and THEN get accepted AND THEN play/plot only with the people who are already in/active? you can come in with basic lines like siblings and maybe a best friend but everything past that would be developed in a storyline post that you post AFTER you're already in the game? you could obviously pimp for faces you'd love to see and plot outside of pbads with your reliable friends but beyond that just in the game with other members. that way it encourages mass interaction and people not coming in with 299 storylines and with more of a focus on their character and developing a personality and seeing how they interact with other members.
i know i hate sitting around waiting for someone i found in pbads to apply that filled a line i plotted with them only to be left hanging. if that makes sense.
