That's fine!

That was my concern, as if I'm reading the first post right, "Poster 2" is meant to put up their couple of shots for the story the weekend after "Poster 1" does theirs? So each site member would get to contribute once or twice a year rather than have the option of joining a group activity every week!

Any and all are welcome!!


I had some unexpected personal stuff this weekend....and nobody posted anything regarding it.........


But hopefully this is a group project that can gain some momentum..... :)

Would it be a good idea if instead of making it by alphabetical order, make it by signing up? This sign up could be weekly so anybody could "apply" for that week depending on how the story is going (if it adjusts to the characters/vehicles/locations or finally ideas one can have).

The idea of this is because some of us sometimes can't post on a specific week due to other compromises, and it would be complicated if you miss your turn because you would have to wait several weeks to post again in the ongoing story.

Now, how to select which of the participants signing up would be selected for each week, could be decided at random (roll a d20?) by the admins. The signing up could close on wednesdays and the selected guy for that weekend would be announced on thursday with a backup in case the selected guy would have an emergency that weekend.

It's just an idea.

That sounds fair enough to me.......

Let me get home tonight and re-read all this....and then come up with a viable gameplan.......

Additionally, we'll go back to the regular 'Weekend Warriors' theme as well.......


The way I see it, it give the members a chance to every so often get 'double theme postings' in!!

Stormer 04-23-2008 05:46 PM

Since people do have things come up, howsabout a weekly decision on whose turn it is? Like on Mondays, so that weekend's contribution should be up and give the following member maximum time to plan where they're going to take the story? Only the most sudden of emergencies should then prevent anyone taking their turn although a reserve could always be picked too.

How it could work: everyone who says they'd be able to do the next chapter goes into a draw (it could be an opt-out thing even, so everyone who signs up in the first place is in the draw unless they say they couldn't do that weekend). The user is drawn on the Monday with the result posted here so they can confirm they've seen it's their go, and once you've had your turn you don't go back into the draw until everyone's had a chance (or the only people left either can't do it or don't appear to be around).

Am I making sense? As I do think I've got a handle on it now...! One last thing, actually -- is the whole Group Dio-Story going to be titled "Unlikely Heroes" or will the theme change for each poster to base their chapter around?

Confusion..
 
I'm totally :confused: now.. I can understand this, that every participating member is going to at some point post their shots to a story called 'unlikely heroes' each member is allowed to post 4 follow up shots to the previous contributor as an ongoing continuation from last week.
What I don't get, is if it follows a set pattern/order of posting.. like say as the weeks go by we all at some point get to post.. it's going to be chaos as everyone could post their photos in on the same week? :confused:

I've grasped the idea that each member that says they are in, gets to contribute to a rolling ongoing story.. however if people start dropping out willy nilly because of this and that, your eventually going to have a stall out in the story as well as more than one contributor.

I want in on this, as I think it would be a good project to be in.. but i need to fully understand the set rules and the flow of the game first.. :o
