Ok, I'm bored. And I'm lonely. And I've babysat a family friend's kids for nearly 7 hours. And I'm still unemployed. And I'm tired, and all sorts of other crap you don't need to hear about.
But mostly I'm bored, so teh internets is a welcome break. When I come here, I like it when threads I'm interested in have updated, so I can read people's thoughts and opinions before replying with my own.
Problem is, nobody's said anything interesting lately. Yeah, the Virginia Tech shooting is a really sad tragedy. My heart goes out to anyone affected by it. But that was how I felt when it happened. Now... now you're talking about something completely different I couldn't care less about.
Oh so tired.
So I start thinking back and I remember that at an old forum (The old Black Isle forums, for the really curious) there was a great Forum Quest. Y'know, where people just kept telling a story. One person would post, then another, and another, and so on. You didn't know what was gonna happen. And it was FUN. Good, simple, honest fun. Nobody died, everyone picked up on each other's character traits, came up with interesting plot ideas and just enjoyed the chance to take part in a community based story.
For the record, I'm asking here rather then in another section of AGN 'cause more people will read it. And that being said...
If I wanted to start a similar quest - set in a typically medieval Baldur's Gate-style world, with magic and humanoid characters - would I be allowed to do it in General Discussion, where more people would see it? Would people be interested in joining in? Will anyone reply to this?
