Hi there!
I tend to ask this question in most RP communities that I end up in, because let's face it, I love GMing. I GM more than I RP. I toss my own characters to the side in favor of bending and twisting your fates to my EVERY WHIM--
Excuse me.
But seriously. I know that there is a wide variety of RP styles, and as a result, there is a wide variety of what people look for in events. Unfortunately, we don't have something along the lines of Neverwinter's Foundry mechanic, nor are there entirely controllable locations for every setting that you can think of, nor is there an easy way to get people to drop what they're doing to fill in for Nameless Goon Squad That's About To Get Their Faces Punched In #21. The answer, then, though it may lack visual awesomeness or actual gameplay, and look like little more than standing around and typing things that no one can see, is events that are done through text.
Some people love this kind of thing, either because they love to write, or because it's the only way to get a plot done despite game limitations and boy do they love plot. Some people hate it, because it doesn't involve actually playing the game which is fun and probably what most people are there for, or because just standing around looks so super lame even if what's going on might be totally amazeballs.
As a result, time for a short community census. Although you can simply check off what you think on the poll and be done with it, I would personally seriously appreciate it if you commented anyway so that I can get a proper handle on the various ideas and opinions that people have. Having a general spread is great, but having individual opinions is even better.
Toodles!
