The personal plot I had in mind had the potential to be kind large-spanning so I wouldn't mind spinning it more into a larger plot for the company. And I understand that it should be flexible for other people to change. But as mentioned, it's definitely a concern that people wouldn't want it.ÂI know this is rather old but I felt like dropping my little tid-bit in here. Just got out of an FC that did this and the biggest issue I had with it wasn't that it was a plot around their characters but that they were the central point of everything. Essentially if you weren't bending the knee to their character you weren't working with them and it was frustrating for the FC leader and frustrating for me as a player.Â
As for recording things, so far we've only had stand-alone missions that don't have an overall plot so I never saw the need to chronicle them.
This was mentioned above, if you can allow people wiggle room to play and experience themselves . Let them enjoy themselves while moving the story plot along, then I see that working out really well. I would not mind a plot that kind of arcs over someone else character, long as I can still influence it in a way and react accordingly to my characters true reaction and not have fear of IC OOC bleeding which happened in said guild.Â
Just make it fair so everyone's able to react and feel a part of it, expect them to try weird shit and possibly stop the plot every now and again cause that's what roleplayers do; and don't get angry if people aren't immediately following the yellow brick road and I think you'll be good.Â
