Ok. So sometimes it's hard to get your RPG going with just a few main characters, right? Eve and I were talking and we were thinking about adding in a couple shadow players. Puppets if you will. These will be a couple extra characters who will remain faceless and can be used and accessed by any member.
These shadow players will allow members to have an extra character in the thread to play off of without needing to create a whole new account or talking to yourself within a post. They can be used as plot devices, to have someone to fight against, to stand by and watch something important happening to your characters, etc etc. Much like "The Plot" member, who is only accessible to the admins and may be used in future events. (see late Roadhouse Chat 2 pages)
We're not really sure if these guys'll work out, but we'll see. It's an experiment.
***Note! These shadow players should not be used to replace other members. Don't go around having a full story arc (ie. multiple threads) of just you and a shadow player. If you want to talk to yourself, create a new character and submit it for approval. At least that shows some creativeness on the part of the member.***
Give us feedback and let us know what you think. I'll get them up and running in the next day or so.

I think these shadow players are an excellent idea! So I could in theory use this as a way for my bodyguard guy to be able to actually do something every once in a while? In the confines of my own topics, of course..

Nice! I like this plan. So we can start a thread, alone or with another person, and then access a "Shadow Player" account to act as a random bad guy or an informant or something, rather than just having a whole conversation in one post?
Very nice idea.

Heh, leave it to you to delete the most important PM we've gotten. Don't worry, Princess, I'll forward it to you.
