wahmbulance IMPORTANT wahmbulance

Now is the time to decide whether the RP should become a non-exclusive, open-ended and completely free-to join affair.

Pros:
Never ending rp.
Abundance of characters.
More possibilities.
More member involvement.

Cons:
Possible storyline swamping.
Incredibly fast rp pace/lots of backreading.
Possible derailment.

We're more than happy to reform. Your vote is important, share your opinion!
You may wish to include your vote an why.
This will help us better the guild according to members preferences.

Thank you for your input! ^^

Isn't the sign up supposed to be for "circus and crew" so they can help interact with the rest of the guild, the "audience"? :0

I think we should allow others to join, but limit them to like..one post every ten minutes or something like that.

If we have more than one thread, we don't have to worry so much about the roleplay being swamped. We can still have our plot flowing like it should, but everyone gets to do something and be involved. We can just mark the major plot threads with "IMPORTANT" or "STORY" or something like that.

It also leaves the roleplay a bit more open ended, so...while there's still the plot, we can have mini and subplots.


But I agree that we should let more people join.

Backstage, a place to prepare and have meetings.
Ringmaster's Tent.
Sleeping Tents.

-General Visitors Area (Anything goes, Everybody can join)
G.C's and D.C's Performance Stage, and Snacktopia (could also be used as staff member's dining area).
Town's Market.
Inn/Housing.
Transportation (Train, cart, etc) Station.

-ponders- Haunted Mansion for Halloween, and the Tree for Valentines. The extras aren't that bad, now that I think about it. They're probably not going to be used often. Are there any other areas we might be missing? :0

I agree with what Silent Cartoon says. Everyone can participate, but the crew will be the ones leading the main plot line. Also, not all the main role players will be logged on for the role play due to irl issues, so it would be better to have more crew (just in case we lack 'em). If there's too many crew on at the same time that might become chaotic, we can volunteer and take turns (within the story, the ringmaster can just ask the person to go out in a mission).

Audience-wise, there's bound to be plenty of them. I guess, when it comes to Circus performer picking a person from the audience during the show, we can have a thread where people can roll a random die (winner gets picked). The rest can just sit and watch and such. If they don't want that, they can always meet other people outside the main tent. Get to know each other outside, make friends, enemies, etc.

-edits-
Of course, Sil gets her own tent. She's the main attraction after all. -gets shot- xD
