After some semi-drama in Back Stage regarding the state of the community I opened my big mouth and complained about not enough events... so now I feel guilty about just complaining and not doing anything about it.
What I'm proposing is a low pressure open RP event(s) on the calender that Ideally would allow new people an IC opportunity to meet people in what can occasionally be an intimidating community. Ideally we would never be more than two weeks away from an event. It should be something that is advertised or reasonably well known so new characters have an IC reason for being there without having to know anyone.
As Reta pointed out these type of events don't tend to be super deep. This is more about offering new people an easy IC access point to the community.
Yssen made a case for bar RP: that it is very easy for people to have a reason to be there and pretty much accessible to all. Then several people complained about it and for good reason bar rp isn't something everyone enjoys and some characters just don't fit well in it. But it isn't a bad place to start... I'm thinking "Happy Hour at The Drowning Wench" if nothing else because of the pleasant dissonance between happy and drowning. I also like the idea of something more commercial that centered around buying and selling or crafting.
ANYWAY if anyone thinks up something interesting please share.
Also if anyone knows how to do those cool IC posters that would be nice... because I'm artistically challenged.
