Question!

So, the Plotbunny asked me the other day if I planned to be an OC character in Yohji and Ken's bar post, and I thunk and I thunk and then a little tiny lightbulb (like the size of the ones you put in flashlights) went on over my head.

What do y'all think of having an open OC rule (I would like to restrict it to no more than two per thread, unless expressly discussed)? As in, any of us RPers can pop in to an already-unoccupied-by-OC thread and post?

Just a thought. It could be chaotic and bad, I didn't really have all that much sleep :-P

Aight; how about we try it out for a week, with the test period ending April 1, after which no more OCs unless unanimously agreed upon? It seems like this group is pretty easygoing, so I don't anticipate problems if there is one naysayer and the idea gets nixed after that period.

My idea was that it might spice up threads. I'm assuming everyone is smart enough to know not to interrupt a strong conversation between characters. Or throw in an OC where it doesn't make sense - eg: suddenly, a long legged beauty runs into Ran as he stands in line for popcorn! Nuh-uh. I was thinking more for places where it would make sense, or make things move.

It might also give players who are waiting on other players a chance to remain active and interested in the RP...

Your points are definitely valid though. Idk if it would work or not.

Sure, that sounds fair ^^ I'm not against their use if they're not taken overboard, and I can definitely see the merits of it. Sorry for replying late, been a hectic few days.
