END OF YEAR MUSICAL DISCUSSION

[goosemods]

So.

When Marin and I made this game, we were anticipating a cast of ~30 characters. You may not have noticed this, but we have actually ended up with nearly 100 characters in this game. One of the things that was imagined as being for a much, much smaller cast was our choice of the year end musical: Phantom of the Opera. We thought it would be funny, plus it's iconic, well known, and a few people could compete for those coveted roles.

However... now it's not two prima donnas fighting for a role, but 5 or 6 who could go for each of the three leads and not much else for the rest of the players. It's just not as fun. :(

We're opening this discussion to the players, so give us your opinions on:

• Do you think we should change the musical to something with a bigger cast?


• If so, what should we change it to? Keep in mind a few things: it must be from 2012 or earlier, it must have a relatively generous cast, and it must be pretentious art school appropriate. Obviously Gooseberry will allow some adult themes, but nothing explicit or wildly inappropriate for children, please. Also: not Sweeney Todd I'm saving that for next year don't touch.

I'm making a post for this because I really, really mean it, and I really need to make myself step back a bit and focus on my Actual Job. I've been slow lately because of work/health/family issues, and I'm going to continue to be slow for at least the next week.

This means there will be a slowdown on all of the things which are either partly or entirely my mod duties, such as adding new characters, maintaining the holds page, maintaining game pages in general, answering dropbox questions, everything relating to Quidditch, and just... mod stuff in general. Meggie will still be here and working tirelessly to make sure stuff like the Grotto party and other IC/OOCs go up in a timely manner, but we'd really appreciate your patience at this time.

I'll still be around, since it's pretty easy to just shoot the shit OOC, but I may not very tagging very much, if at all. If you really need my characters for anything, please feel free to hit me up on my character dropboxes or by email.

This affects Sy, Ravi, Mina, Micah and Iliya.
