I generally try to avoid both big "city-wide" plots, as well as law enforcement/player-run city RP. I've had and observed exceedingly bad experiences with both in the past, so I avoid them and the places where they take precedence over other types of RP. (This is just me speaking here; I can't speak for the rest of Mysterium. For all I know, everyone else in the FC might be jonesin' for just that sort of RP. )
Personally, I think the best approach is to actively get RP started in a hotspot and out of FC houses, then keep this thread active and updated so people can see what they might want to get involved in. Between those two elements, cross-pollination of RP should occur organically. That's just my two gil, though.
EDIT: I suppose I should clarify what I mean by "city-wide" plots. By that I don't mean "an FC has a plot that's open to anyone," I mean "a group of people decide to be STs for everyone and expect everyone to consent to, react to, and participate in their storyline." The former is awesome. The latter is not.
