Rhoda Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Sounds fair, but how would we solve inactivity? Say it was my turn to post after you Frank, and you weren't online for whatever reason. Now, while it may only be a delay of a few days depending on the severity of your inactivity, it's enough to put everyone else off their flow. Lack of inspiration isn't a problem, because you could simply post and ask to be removed if you so wished. This also applies if you want to be re-added; simply ask to be put back on. Of course, there could also be a cut off point. Say for example you don't post for 24 hours, the person after you could take over your turn and write a couple of paragraphs of his own to follow me if I was in front of you in the queue. I'm only using you as an example Frank, I'm not implying in any way you'd let us down, it was just easier to carry on from your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0xy_fl00d3r Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Should create a list of people who will be involved and put an order to it. Like I always post after Oxidizer and before MK for instance... that way someone doesn't take the time out to post something and after doing so discovers someone snuck it in first. No can do, what if someone goes on holiday, or is suffering from writers block? we cant have people waiting on other users to have their turn. The point of this is to have a go at a time and pace that suits you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of this is to have a go at a time and pace that suits you. I've addressed a potential system to deal with holidays, writer's block, death, whatever. In all fairness though, if you go on holiday for a week and don't tell any of us, especially if you're involved in this, you're a bit of a yoghurt... Coming and going at an easy pace seems like the best way to go, but there's always the possibility that two people are writing their own follow on from the same chapter. If one posts theirs first, that's an ultimate "oh, f*ck" moment right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhoda Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Inactivity's not an issue at this moment in time. Aside from the potential points I've made previously, something concrete is obviously going to be implemented to ensure this runs smooth but at the same time, is fun for everyone.

Eminence Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 When somebody is going to add the next section, they post and indicate it, and then edit their post when they're done with the new paragraphs. If after, say, 12 hours, they still haven't updated their post, then it's free game for someone else to come and do the same thing and the other post will be deleted. Sound good?

The Unvirginiser Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 That sounds fair, we set a time limit for the next post to keep the flow moving. So I think we can basically all agree on this being crime related, since that's the basic mutual interest we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sounds like the CTS I knew from '07. I like that. It'll be kewl to see how all our styles blend, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Anyone care to throw in more detailed premise suggestions? Lets start with a character and their situation, for example? As soon as somebody is assured in what they want to suggest, we can push for this to get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy455 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 How about it starts with a American Petrovic Family Member trying to start a Truce with the Angels of Death only to have them Turn on them halfway through the negotiations? Just a theory. "I might have laughed if I'd have remembered how." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy455 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I had to bump this cause so far, it's gettin' no feedback. When's it starting? "I might have laughed if I'd have remembered how." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 I had to bump this cause so far, it's gettin' no feedback. When's it starting? Whenever people want it to; it still relies upon getting a solid plot set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever people want it to; it still relies upon getting a solid plot set up. Why don't we just keep it original, like super UBER KEWL original. Old Grand Theft Auto style, forelli vs Leone Triad vs Sindacco VERCETTI VS FORELLI! Megh, I'd start it off but It'll most likely suck. "I might have laughed if I'd have remembered how."
