Idea: Thread GMs.

[Lumino]

People seem lost here. Nobody is sure who is doing what in regard to the big threads, so I got an idea. Whenever a thread is started, someone is listed as the GM (For those of you with no table top gaming experience, Game Master.). This person is the judge, jury and executioner. Instead of everyone trying to go their own way in the stories, this person says "I will control what enemies show up, where and how they fight." Each PLAYER is still allowed to do as they wish, but they have no DIRECT control over the plot except through their character actions. I think this would cut down on some of the confusion and uncertinty I am seeing.

But feel free to argue, I'm not omnipotent.

It might be because I'm used to the table top RP, but I like the idea. Of course, I'm not in charge of the site, so it's mostly up to those whom moderate the site already. The battle at Ostia went on for a good while, and now after everyone's already been exausted from fighting, there's now Bandits coming to fight Ostia. Someone should try to control what happens to some degree, otherwise, there could be a continuos string of fighting, and those that RP properly, will eventualy have to have their characters collapse due to exaustion.

You see, I'm sorta GMing already in that post... That's why I brought the bandits in. You're going to be overrun, most likely.

I do see what you're saying though. Personally, I kinda like the idea. It's more or less being done anyway. Generally whoever started the post sorta leads the action along. The duel was also sorta my idea. I basically told Alan that Bern wanted to stall until the bandits showed up, and let it go. Also, when Alexia went to Sacae, it was only in here posts that enemies ever showed up, or the NPCs did anything. This sort of thing generally happens anyway. Yeah, the situation in Ostia sucks right now, it's suppose to.

So, it's sorta already being done, just not officially.

Well with everybody being tired from fighting fits in with what I've been planing. Matthias knows what it is, but I need to hurry up and get it done.

BTW, this probably should've gone in suggestions, instead of FAQs, now that I think about it.

You can move topics you know Matthias...
