I'm experimenting with short-form, impactful events with temporary characters that greatly help defining a permanent character's evolution.

Concluded events:
Erie Retreat: The Scouts
Eavesdroppers: Tomoe

Ongoing events:
- none -

I ask you:

Do you like the format?
Does it make for a good read?
How's the length? Too short? Too long?
Context lacking? Should I add in-depth context that triggered the event (if any)?
Would you like to participate in one of these events?

I'd like to point out that not even I know the outcome of such events. I feed an "eventmaster" AI with context, and it decides by itself on what should (or could) happen next. This keeps things interesting for everyone - me included.

Eavesdroppers just finished. I'd like to hear mainly the opinion of those not involved with the roleplay. What do you think?

I really did like the format. Was easy enough to get an idea on where things were going, even if the differing communications styles (or lack thereof) made distinguishing what was a communication and what was an act a little hard. It did make for a good read, that's for certain. Other than that, in my opinion, wished...
1. That there was more meat to the response posts insofar as events happening outside of the station itself,
2. More factions than simply the Militants, so on considering how divided people there may have been on the issue (More complex response posts)
3. It lasted longer - was near looking forward to Bristol getting reached out to and felt like more things could have been touched on.
4. That there could be more context added for someone dropping into a singular thread. A paragraph or two on the current status of the locale and what brought them there is always nice.

still working on my part in that and what's up in FP10, haven't finished yet, sorry

I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.

I really enjoyed it. It's been a long time since I've done a story post in that format while bouncing my writing off others. It's always a good way to expand your vocabulary and have fun at the same time. I'm looking forward to more!

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
Roleplay is dead. Long live Powertraders and PvP I guess.

thank you for the feedback.

1, I try to not blow those small RP stories of scope or proportions. Including things that happen outside the initial scope can quickly snowball outside of control, losing the central theme.

2, I get it. given the side of the station, adding multiple perspectives would feel natural. noted for next events.

3, Bristol being reached could've been its own thread. mixing a lot of interactions in the same thread can get messy real quick

4, agreed. I thought about this too. will be a thing on the next story.
