1) Moving us forward<br/><br/><em>Yes please!</em><br/><br/>I'm perfectly happy writing to a goal... it may even be interesting as we essentially do the scene backwards, knowing roughly what happened and filling in how we got there. After all, working out how Walter and Bilton ended up in bed together will be a real challenge  :P.<br/><br/>2) Bounty<br/><br/>Would the simple answer be to just increase the cost of purchasing anything, say doubling it or even tripling it? It deals with the issue of characters becoming too powerful too quickly.<br/><br/>The arc based approach is nice in theory but I fear it risks rewarding players who can post frequently over those who post less often. If two players are able to crank out multiple posts a day they could likely do a minor arc in a matter of days and pick up bounty very quickly compared to those who are only able to post less frequently.
