While this is going on, other roleplayers not involved in this event are happily getting drunk on their ales at the Bismark. What gives? There's explosions afoot! C'mon people, get your swords! What gives is that there are essentially multiple universes going on that may or may not intersect with your own universe. If you want in, all you gotta do is ask!
I'm not sure I agree with this, cuz we have also had explosions, but outside of town and a bunch of strangers actually reacted and joined in! That was cool. None of our major story arcs existed in a bubble. Okay one did, but we kidnapped two people to do experiments on them and... it was a thing (The evil alts we, not NB we). MOST of our rp doesn't exist in a bubble and 99% of the time a stranger gets involved happily. Armi got stabbed in the middle of Ul'dah, 3 or 4 people came up to see if she was okay. Those two people I mentioned earlier got kidnapped and one person, who didn't know anything about us, decided to help our alliance guild look for them. We (again evil alts we) hired some random RPer to drug the kidnap-ees drink. Our Evil alts tried to take a girl off the street and got stopped by a random person!
I think that makes things dynamic in it's own way. I don't like to put too much in a bubble, how will people know whats going on? We've gotten plenty of interest into our storyline and wanting to get involved and such so it works well.
the Linkshell leaders meeting most of the FC leaders wanted some kind of thread to summarize each FC's plots so the other FC's could see it and maybe want to get involved. Did that ever get made? I think that's a good start, so we can see whats going on with each other and try to interact that way.
As for the Bulletin board, I'm a bit confused by it. Is it a character journal? Most of us have character journals (I have mine linked right in my sig) though I doubt many people actually read them (If you read mine, read Armi's, it's the one I'm updated atm XD) and there's a whole section for character journals on the site. Do I just post my character journal into that thread? I'm confused, please explain ; ;
