Hey now everyone!
I wanted to make this post because I have an idea for a future show that I think could be....interesting but fun!
This place has a small roster. It's full of damn good writers but it's small and I'm very appreciative for the time and effort that each and every one of you put into this place. Since being made co-owner, I'm always thinking of ideas to change things up and make things fun for everyone involved which brings me to this:
Would anyone be interested in participating in a one-off "special" show where RPs had a word limit? For example, your RP can only have 3000 words or less for it to count or whatever. Yeah, it restricts you from telling the story you want to tell but it also forces you to get creative and write pretty strong stuff. I'd be okay with getting all monologues; sometimes those are the best parts in an RP.
That being said, I totally expect this to get sh*t on and I'm okay with that. It's just a thought I had to change things up for one show and one show only.
What does everyone think?

Seems like a different but good idea to me

Can we have a no option that doesn't endorse your removal as owner just for pitching an idea?

Can we have a no option that doesn't endorse your removal as owner just for pitching an idea? I've been largely refraining from posting on this end at all, but I've got to agree with Bish here...there's close-ended scenario in the world that exists wherein any sort of positive lies in the available options placing additional context or implication in the voter's mouth.

I'd be fine with this.

I loved word limit stuff as a stipulation match in the house shows some 10-15 years ago. I'd definitely go lower than 3000, probably around the 500 range

This is an idea I'm co-signing on as being a fan of, especially if it's a a small word limit like 500, as already suggested. It was a cool idea back in the day, and I think it could be a fun writing challenge for thinking outside the box.

S**t. The whole "STEP DOWN AS OWNER" bit was a failed attempt at getting a chuckle, that's it. If you vote no, I won't take that as you literally saying that I should step down. It just means that you aren't fond of this idea. Brennan and Mark are right though and I'm sorry. I plan on posting many more of these group pitches in the future so next time, I'll just keep it simple and leave the "humor" to the professionals. I gotta say though, I'm very surprised by the reaction to this so far. I was honestly expecting this to get buried just due to the restrictions alone. If you voted no in the poll, that's okay too! I want to hear from everyone that still cares about this place regarding this idea. If you are against this idea but the show does end up happening, you don't have to participate. No harm, no foul. The 3000 word limit was just for example. So far, three people have suggested it be lower and Thunder suggested 500 when I pitched it to him originally so if we all agree that this is a good idea, the word limit will more than likely be 500 words or less. Prophet of Ash hit the nail on the head. I've gone back and read some of the older RPs and shows and thought the word limit RPs were pretty cool. With the talented group of writers we have today, I figured why not bring it back for a one-off? A special appearance from Phillip Schneider would make the word limit show even more special I'll leave this post open for a few more days until pretty much everyone has had a say in this before deciding on whether or not this show is happening but I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten so far.

I have no interest in this personally, but it was popular back in the day when I put Obo in charge of the house shows. Most of the shows he organized had word limits on them. There is no way I could write an rp that I was happy with and keep it under a word limit of 500 or 1000. I will just take that show off.

I mean, I would be down for something like a 1500 word limit, anything less I think I might struggle

Okay, noted. I understand completely why you two wouldn't be for this idea. All good!
Thank you for the feedback!

Unless I did just a monologue, I could do less that 1000

We're still toying with the idea of what exactly the word limit would be. So far, 500 seems to be the favored option but nothing is definitive.

Me and Mikers did this long ago. Broke the 4th wall, had people (for a second) believing we had real beef with eachother in the GD and such, saying how I was a better writer than her, etc etc.
It got s**t on, but I mean, a one off show? I can't see a downside. If it's a flop, it's a flop. If it's a success, we do one once a year or twice a year, etc etc.
