Brainstorming Time!

[brat_inslayage]

Um, I might have spaced on this last month, but... holidays, so yay? Anyway! I know SOMEONE has been waiting for this, and I am in no way looking pointedly at YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Here be your more-or-less monthly brainstorming post, wherein you do that thing. With the suggesting new ideas and possibly developing on previously proposed ones.

The only objection I have is that it's limited to kids who have class that day. What if it was like, an obligatory homeroom for everyone kind of thing? Almost like a headcount, because our students tend to scoot off-island, get kidnapped, etc. It would give our kids who don't have classes that day something to bitch about, and would still embrace the pseudo-college atmosphere at FH that we already have, with kids showing up in pajamas, etc.

Plus, and I'm spitballing here as someone who's run plots that rely on people noticing that someone's gone/been gone too long -- it's a spot for people to see their friends and notice the absence of their friends. And for the sake of not interfering with those plots I mention, it could also handwavily be something where, like, the admins only notice if you're gone if you want them to? I don't know, I'm sort of just running all over this idea. :D

Please run all over this idea! Turn it into a racetrack, I dun care. Honestly, when I first envisioned it, I was thinking of four teachers posting homeroom every weekday with people pinging in. I wasn't sure if people would be happy with having their kids have to ping in even when they don't have class (and that idea seemed a little excessive anyway), so I tried to figure out other, more laid-back options.

That being said, I do think it'll be handy for noticing when people are missing. And skipping too many homerooms might be an excellent reason to get a detention.

...Not that I ever did. La.

I love, love, love the showing-up-in-pajamas idea. George would bring a pillow and nap.

I also love the idea of two people showing up and trying not to look like they were coming from the same room or wearing the same clothes they had on last night hmmm what walk of shame don't know what you're talking about ...
