This worked out extremely well last year, so we'll be playing it again this year. You may reuse ideas from last year, but you will not receive points for them, even if they were not used. Please denote if you are recycling a plot.
Step 1) Enter a list of characters. Please state how many characters at a time you want to have plots assigned to.
Step 2) Create a 2 word plot. Basically, a verb-noun thing. Examples:
Steals a Box
Punches a Drunk
Giggles Madly
You get 1 point for every "plot" you make.
Step 3) Flesh out others' mini-plots. Example: Player A posts "Steals a Box". Player B fleshes this out: "Character steals a box that is unfortunately filled with rare but poisonous snakes." 5 points for fleshing out a two-word plot. 10 points if it's more than one line. If you feel your fleshed-out version of the plot should involve more than two people, please state so. ((You may flesh out a two-word plot that's already been fleshed out, however, your version must be very different from any other version proposed.))
Step 4) I will randomly select a character (or more) from someone's list and either give them a fleshed out plot or a mini-plot that I will flesh out.
Step 5) Play out the plot. You get 5 points for starting the topic. You can refuse to play out a plot, but it will dock you 2 points to do so. You will get 10 points for actually completing the topic.
Game will run to January 1st. Winner and runner-up shall receive brownie points! There is no set 'join' date. Feel free to continue to add characters, tiny plots, or fleshed-out ones as long as the game is running.
