We've been really slacking on the RP lately. Yes, we've had the rally, thanks to Adela, but beyond that and this new plot arc, it's been pretty pathetic. People are only doing plots with themselves, and more importantly, with their couples. I'm guilty of this, too. Most everyone is. People have settled with marriage and other things, and I think some people are starting to think there isn't anything else left to play - like we've done it all.
The truth is there are millions of possibilities. While I'm not asking people be IC all the time they're on, I'm just asking for people to consider it. Paris has an underground boxing organization that has been played in the past, but isn't brought up now. We have shops, markets, and a jail (that until now has hardly been used lately). We've even done train roleplays, numerous carriage roleplays, and I would be surprised if people haven't done things on boats.
The point is, the possibilities are endless, but we're getting lazy. Bar roleplay has become the turn to thing when people finally throw characters up in the dream. I understand that's sort of a tradition, but it's also why some people are starting to find things dull.
I know that no one wants to be forced to go IC all the time. I know it's not possible because we all have lives, school, and even jobs.
What I'm going to ask is that we move our OOC room for one week. I'm not asking we remove it completely, or not leave one alt there to idle and keep the dream up. It's just an experiment to see if our roleplay boosts any when it becomes a real roleplay dream and not OOC City.
I talked a lot here, and I also had to wrestle a dog, so hopefully it isn't too confusing.
