I have a question about teamstories. First of all - I know I'm new to the board and everything, so I hope you can bear with me (even if the following may be wild ramblings).

Since it's ebb in the flow of chronicles about cythera (which I think is bad since the Cythera-stories are some of the most enjoyable on the Ambrosiaboard), I have an idea.

Would it be okey to start a teamstory with a few fixed rules (as where the story takes place and things like that). Further, would it be okey to only accept, say, 50 posts. Then the story is closed and I would write an appropiate ending, clean up the texts and post it in cronicles.

What do you all say about it?

That sounds like it would be okay to me. I don't know how well it would work, though. All of our team stories appear to be dead right now.

Desert Fox is on vacation, and its tough to continue a 2-person story (since Kestrel dropped out) by yourself.

However, the problem with the 50 posts limit is that you might not get anywhere. A couple times, its taken 25 posts to get everyone in the story and start it up, not leaving a lot of time to have fun with the story. Maybe a "one month" limit would work better. (thus giving people an incentive to post something Posted Image)

Well, a month seems to be a good limit.
