Hm.... Jay?
@Jam: Then people might get into a race to see if they can enter their subplot first.

In our heart, Mr. Ando will always be a penguin.i mean it's not like you need some epic grandiose and complex plot for a subplot
its primary purpose is just to give the rp something to do
but it is still an RP, and as such there has to be a unified goal at least some people in the group have to work towards, otherwise it's just the fg
aimlessness is bad when the entire point of the very concept of storytelling is aim

I'd honestly think Holly would be more fun, but if you prefer Asura then do it.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Because it doesn't work in the FG. Do you know how long I sat there shitposting/explaining to people that just walked in what was going on while you did your private thing in space (not in the room) with Tats? Avatars in a room. Period. No plot. The RP has the same format, only we can leave the room and develop the plot.
@Pyro: I did consider Jay, actually, seeing as how he was there before. Chihiro would only work if I hadn't swapped out Haku for Alpha after ten pages.

Let's figure this out before we start.
Here's my suggestion:
We start with no-GM.
If we get dissatisfied, we choose one later on.
This gives us time to find our feet with this new format and see if it's viable.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?wait what
so a no-gm format doesn't work because it does
the wording of that post is confusing
and i'm fairly certain the format of the RP and the FG are vastly different, as they should be
the room itself in the rp is basically the equivalent of a loading screen where our characters just fart about until a new GM is picked and the next plot starts
which is why the RP is titled Our Avatars Were in a Room
if we're just going to make the RP into the FG except everyone is off doing their own thing then i just don't see much of a point in having the RP

I'm... not actually sure what you're saying, Duffy.
The RP was created so we could develop accidental plot bunnies that would spawn in the format of the FG, but couldn't actually develop. Us voting on GMs, believe it or not, is an optional thing we picked up later, but not actually necessary. You joined during the voting days, as did everyone else here sans Pyro and I. But we never needed a poll. It was just something to do as an emergency in case we experienced a lull with no new accidental plot bunnies.
I know who I'm using, by the way.
It's called that because we couldn't think of a better title and we were in a hurry, and I was too much of a pussy to suggest the one I was thinking of, Voidbound.
