New Group: Imaginators

What's all this then?

Hello! I am Xev. You may know me from such popular groups as Splank Club

Sometimes I have fun ideas that people can get behind. This might be one of them! 

Here is the basic idea (that is not by any means set in stone) to get the ball rolling: 

1. Imaginators are just that - a group of imaginative people who want to invent, write, and act in adventures that are public for the world of Ur. 

2. We will have three levels of people: Imaginators, who come up with the ideas (I may come up with a hidden group for this so that ideas can be batted around freely without giving away the plot); Players, who are given information about the story so that they can play their role to move the story along; and participants, who do not know the background, just the information provided by the players and the scenario.

3. This is in many respects free role playing. There are some constraints and a loose story line, but the idea is that it will be collaborative. We, as players and imaginators will react to the events created by the participants. Players are our agents in the story and can move the story along.

The goal is for this to be fun and interactive, exciting for everyone involved, but also maintain a certain level of excitement and mystery about where the story is going. 

If you think this is something you'd be interested in, be it as a scenario developer, player or participant, we'd love to have you! Please come and check us out

Edit: This group is now public (so go! Join!) If you are maxed out and still need an invite, please request one below.

  • I don't quite understand why you make a group, advertise it publicly, and then make it invite-only.

  • ennuienta, maybe they want their members to have some background information on the group first, or they want to target a specific group. But I don't think this group is invite only.

  • I didn't realize it was invite only. Weird... and super lame :( Sorry gang. I actually recreated it for exactly that reason so that it wouldn't be invite only. (It's coming up as Public Approval) I guess it didn't take. I will invite everyone who's interested. 

    Thanks!

  • Ah, that's true... I forgot that the groups are wonky sometimes.  My apologies.  I'm interested.... especially if you need a character that is snarky about invite-only groups :-)

  • Lol, I think we need snark in all forms :) I will send it post haste!

  • There is absolutely no cap on members! What we will likely do is assign creators / writers and players based on project, but after that there can be a fairly unlimited number of participants (successful / popular scenarios may be repeated). 

    Games can run in tandem, and writers / players may be assigned to multiple games (as their schedules and desires permit).

  • It's not too late. I can create a public group for you, put you as admin, and leave it. Then you could post screenshots of replies from the old group under the same topics in the new one. If that's not too complicated...(and I guess you could kick out everyone from the old group and invite them to the new one.)

  • I want invite, please!

    Interesting...
    I've always had an idea of a Glitch play. Perhaps in Guillermo Gamera Way. The combined effects of spinach, levitation, masterful midair freezing... would be very interesting. Audience would be required to stand back and eyeball.

  • Hey gang, I will continue to add all of you. In the meantime, I am filing a bug request so hopefully we can get this group fixed without having to transfer anything.

    If that doesn't work, I will transfer everything over. Thanks for your patience!

  • Awesome.

  • Count me in! My qualifications include being a Greeter, operating a Housing Resource Route street, secret agenting & strategizing for the Sandbox group, and writing articles for the ImaginatUr.com. I'm fun! Really, I am!

  • @Palindrome, I've thought of that too! I one had the silly idea to try to do a Shakespeare scene, but never tried.
    Posted 7 months ago by Fernstream Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Fernstream & Palindrome I think a play would be a lot of fun!

  • Just a quick update - the group has been transferred and is now public. Apologies for the inconvenience! Current members will be re-invited (or you can just join!) The link is in the OP.
