This is not about apps opening tonight.
Jun. 30th, 2013 06:18 pmThat will happen at the usual time, around midnight American Eastern time. This is about something else, namely- car keys plotting.
For those of you who haven't been around for such things in the past, a car keys plot is basically... well, not really a plot at all. What it amounts to is that people throw the names of the characters they want to do some more tagging with, or to get more tags for, into the plot post, which remains open for a week or two. At the end of that time I grab all the character names and dump them into a spreadsheet, which I then randomize the crap out of. The would-be participants are then told "Okay, you entered character X in the plot; you have to tag character Y, and you're to be tagged by character Z". Generally in the past we've left the excuse for tagging the other character up to the players involved, but if people would like me to do so, I can always come up with a bundle of paper thin excuses to give them as a suggestion for what prompts the interaction in question. The end result usually gets some interesting new character interaction going.
So! Anybody out there interested?
