Okay, folks. I need an opinion: Several multi-player RPs I'm in are using multiple game threads, to represent different locations.<br/><br/>Now, So far, we only have the one game thread (obviously) as we are all in the same place. However, pretty soon we're going to be splitting up to carry out separate tasks.<br/><br/>There are only the five of us, so I don't think it will get too terribly confusing if we all post to the same place, but on the other paw, it might interrupt the flow of play if a sequence of posting between Niki and Mona is interrupted by Sofia posting about making bombs and Kirra posting about flirting with a NPC on the beach... (Or whatever...)<br/><br/>But equally, we have five players, that's two, two and one on there own. I really do not want the situation where one of you is posting to a single thread all by her/himself - might just as well be writing a story, rather than doing a RP! It's called "Collaborative writing" for a reason!<br/><br/>SOOOOO: Opinions please? Single thread or multiple threads? If we do multiple threads I would suggest keeping the main thread for characters who are on their own, to post in, and all the main action returns to the main thread. We would then have "branch threads", for example, Niki seducing Mona, Kirra and Anne taking out the maintenance team, or any other branch where two characters (or a character and a NPC played by another player) go off together.<br/><br/>The bigest problem I can see with that is keeping track of every thread.
