What IS this blog?

Well, you have all the OOC posts to answer. Most of them, however, have been superseded by events. What happened is that the diary trick - that was meant as a way to check the commitment of sub/victim players - has evolved to be the main narrator voice. Instead of having the others do the diary, it's become my thing. Go guess.

So, what happens here? Federico's story is the one that keeps the threads together. We have one male student and two active girls - four players, a success from my point of view.

The blog and SL together are working as a two-pace narration. The diaries are a few lines where events are just flashed. The scenes give the detailed, moment by moment play.

I think that without the diaries we would never manage to have a scene as successful as the one with Tom and Grace. Knowing the characters are alive also out of the SL time, players put much more effort in making a sensible narration.

I wonder now how much this way of play could grow. With the current number, the blog is more than adequate. But what if we arrive to ten players? More? Well, stay tuned and perhaps you will know.
