Mr X suggestion?

[elijah]

okay so i've not been here too long, but i've noticed that mr. x hasn't had much to do lately! he posted in the bathroom stalls thing after a mass pm was sent out, but i don't think many responded to it as there was nothing really to say in his message and nobody really replied to it. (guilty!)
so what i was thinking is maybe mr. x could have his own weekly gossip blog? so say, every thursday or something he makes a post in his blog which could contain factual information that he's gathered (by the person reading peoples' threads) or it could be completely made up and not true whatsoever. i mean, not all rumours are true, are they?
so i think that'd be a pretty cool thing, especially if people can choose to reply anonymously, or as their own character and give feedback to what mr. x has to say. i mean, even if nothing has gone on during the week, he could still stir something up by lying about it and getting reactions out of people! then it could also leave it to everyone else to decide whether it is true or not.

what do you think? i know it'd take up a bit of time to gather the information and put it together, so whoever is behind mr x may not want that duty, but the role could easily be shared between people and i think it would just be good for drama altogether (:

I wanted to take a second to reply to this to tell you that we love the idea. X, a long while back, used to be more active around here (when there was an outside writer)...but since then he's been passed back to a group of members that write him, and that means there's less time to devote to his blog just because they're writing for their own plots. We do want to get both X and Y active (positive should counteract negative we hope) soon since we've been open for 18 months on the 10th, so I think the weekly blog would be a great idea. Whoever writes him could keep it shorter and stick to what's happened that week, and in turn that could get more people active just because they'd want a chance to get into the blog. We will introduce weekly blogs starting sometime this weekend (depends on our members writing him schedule).

Also, we would REALLY love people giving his account more information. The staff help pick out bullets but even with every single staff and X writer looking we're going to miss things, so if you have something going on (since there are so many sub-plots around here that I love it) please send some details in to X (this goes to everyone). We don't care if it's about your own character, and you'll find that if you send us info you'll be made into a bigger blurb on the blog as there'd be a focus.

I might not make any sense since it's late and i'm tired, but yes we will do weekly blogs to keep all of you guys interested in his mean self. Thanks for the suggestion! This will be one that will be done!
