Brainstorming Post!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Apologies, apologies, apologies! We've totally flaked on this for the past couple of months. I won't speak for willbedone as far as inviting punishment, but you can make indignant noises in my direction for it if you like. *shameface*

Anyway, this is the monthly brainstorming post, and I hope this means you guys have a ton of stuff to throw into the mix today, so have at it, in the appropriate OCD thread! And they are up, so go go go!

Right. We did one BDE where people were essentially helpless. As opposed to the dozen or so that were fighty in nature.

I'm not saying one or the other is right or wrong. I'm simply suggesting that we do something that might be fun for those who don't enjoy the fighty stuff.

This stuff about including people who aren't fighty in the BDEs keeps coming up and keeps coming up, and I'm not a mod so really I don't know what else can be done there because God knows they keep trying to include the people who don't like fighting and yet it keeps being the bad penny, but it seems like we've gotten off the subject, which is a plot where no one including nonfighty people can help solve or fix the problem, which I still feel isn't going to work out very well in practice. The aftermath I particularly think would be problematic; I've done picking throuhg the rubble and rebuilding after a disaster in RL, and it's a whole pile of not fun.

Well, from my perspective, it seems like the non-fighty portions of those plots are tacked on to appease people and the fight is the important part and everything else is just busywork.

From what I had time to read of the zombie plot, that wasn't the case, but RL kept me from participating in that more.

I cannot address this comment because I do not share your perspective.

I think my problem here is that I feel like the pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction. There's been so much noise about the non-fighters not getting enough to do that the fighters have been sidelined, which makes them twitchy, and makes people wonder if they should not bother apping fighters to start. I like BDEs where everyone can contribute -- but that means everyone, fighters included.
