Alright! Reached out to everyone about connections and will be creating Aaron and Benny's Big-Ass Appendix of Connections<sup>TM</sup>when everything is finalized with all you alls.<br/><br/>I also approved Biblio's dude genius to balance genders slightly (women currently outnumber guys). So I guess I have one other set of connections to make after all.<br/><br/>We got 15 players (how the Hell did that happen?!) with a total of 19 characters (20 with Biblio's dude). This means we get a total of 30 threads for the story. However, I would rather not create threads until we need to. So if you plan on writing a scene at one of your characters' homes, then let me know, give me the description/photos you want tied to the thread, and I'll create it. But with so many thread possibilities I feel like that could get ...encumbered... quite swiftly.<br/><br/>So for starting out, we'll have:<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">House Party</span></strong><br/>The thread for all parties that belong to NPC's. The Original Post will have the details for the "Currently Active" party, while past parties will have their details listed in spoiler tags.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Outdoor Party</span></strong><br/>A bit of a misnomer since the first party will be at the allegedly haunted but factually abandoned house. This is basically locations that aren't a house. Bonfire party, camping trip, quarry, whatever. If it's not at a house, it goes here. The details for the "Currently Active" and past parties will be on rotation just like the House Party.<br/><br/>I will have these up on Friday and figure it makes a good way for everyone's characters to divvy themselves up, allowing characters opportunities to interact while simultaneously not over-crowding (19-20 characters when the Hell did that happen?!).<br/><br/>Once those parties are nearing a conclusion and more people are ready to move on to the more freeform roleplaying time, I'll open up some of the social spaces.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Hill Valley Mall</span></strong><br/>Home of the comic book shop, a GameStop that used to be a Babbage's that used to be a Funcoland (though now that I feel old none of our characters would be old enough to remember Funcoland<em>Jesus Christ why am I ancient</em>), a Macy's, a JCPenny's, Hot Topic, and it's a mall so you can basically put in any generic mall store you can think of. Will probably be quite an active location.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Green Grass Shopping Center</span></strong><br/>Similar to the mall, but with a parking lot for kids to loiter around. Another GameStop, the Sunset Tanning Salon, Dairy Queen, Dragon Sky Chinese, Domino's Pizza, Dollar Emporium and Bobby's Billiards. Will also include the Warren's Warehouse here since it would simply be across the street.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Athletic Locations</span></strong><br/>Baseball diamond, football field, hockey or roller skating rink, or even the Planet Fitness. Places where characters could get together to be athletic.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Benny's House</span></strong><br/>I'll be creating this because Benny's basement will be the most likely hangout for Benny and Aaron that isn't the mall.<br/><br/>I'm uncertain about the<strong>Neon Serpent</strong>nightclub at the moment. I figured it would make sense to have a nightclub but I'm uncertain how many characters would make use of it. I may instead replace it with a series of attractions such as a movie theater, bowling alley, and run-down outdated arcade (all of which would be locations where you can blaze up in the alley behind with maybe a 10% chance of a cop giving enough of a fuck to break everyone up).<br/><br/>Due to my own conversations I know I'll probably be setting up at least one person's house for planned interactions there. Is there any sort of location or establishment you guys think I may be missing?
