Hi, players.

As I start to gear up for the next game-wide event, I wanted to take a second to gauge interest levels in two different plot ideas. So, this post is something of a poll. Below, you will find sub-threads for the two different options. To vote, simply comment to the thread of your interest. We're going to ask for only one vote per player (no, you cannot vote with each character). All you have to do is comment. Please take any discussion outside of this post, to make it easier to count the votes.

The deadline to vote will be Monday, April 14. If you don't vote, don't worry. You'll still be able to participate. Again, this is just to gauge interest.

Option 1: A species swapping plot - Characters, by some magical means, switch species and powers with other characters.

Option 2: A musical plot - A magical device causes characters to burst out into song, with consequences of some kind.

Don't ask for any more details about either plot. They haven't been written yet! Once more, this is just gauging the interests of the players.

Hi everyone! Your friendly neighborhood Kally here, popping in with a moddish related question for you all.

I'm planning to put up a fun little side plot for anyone who would be interested. It'll be completely voluntary, of course, and you can choose not to opt in. Additionally, just as an FYI, this is in no way related to metaplot. Just a side thing.

The overall idea is going to affect age. I have two options, and I wanted to poll and see if anyone had a strong preference either way:

1. My original plan was to do a teenager plot (for those familiar with Angel, yes, this is completely stolen from the episode of Spin the Bottle). This would involve everyone physically staying exactly the same as ever, but they will MENTALLY be taken back to their 16 year old selves. They will have no idea of their real age (theoretically until they look in the mirror), or why they are suddenly in this temple. They will have all of the horrible qualities they had as a teenager (which, admittedly, is not a plot the characters who are already teenagers would likely have too much interest in). So we suddenly have Othala High happening, with all the cliques and horrors of high school manifesting.

2. Generic age plot. The characters physically turn whatever age you want, so they can be kids, teenagers, babies, or whatever else. They will still be themselves on the inside, it's just their outside that's suddenly reversed. This is the more common spin on things, but if you prefer physical alteration to interior alteration, this is probably the choice for you.

Anyway! Just post with 1 or 2 or alternate suggestion if you would like to see something else. We'll go with majority vote!

EDIT: you can vote on this until midnight EST on August 9th!

Hey everyone. Kally here. Putting up a poll to get people's opinions on a randomized CR event. For anyone who has never been in a game with a similar event, I'll use an example from a recent event at Bete Noire.

The city had a huge, magical snowstorm. Characters were randomly selected to be in locations together, such as getting caught in the storm together in a movie theatre, a bar, a grocery store, etc. The event lasted for a few days, during which time the characters had to try and survive together.

In essence, your character is stuck with random other characters for a few days. It's basically just a nice way for your muses to get out of their small CR groups and interact with new people. 

(This part is me speaking my opinion as a player, not as your mod: I have been in cliquey games before and it's not fun. I don't think we're cliquey, I actually think everyone in the game is super friendly, but we do have some small casts forming (And hey, I'm in the Avengers one). I love being in a cast, but seeing as how we aren't a huge game, I think it's good for everyone to spread out some CR and I know that sometimes, it's easier to stay in my own comfort zone and tag people I have played with before/who are in my cast. I, therefore, really love random CR events because it forces me to tag around when I might hesitate to do so otherwise. Okay, now back to being a mod.)

However! I know some people are not fans of these types of events so rather than throw one at you without asking around, I wanted to get your opinion. I'll leave the poll up until Saturday, October 13th.

Should We Have A Randomized CR Event?
