OOC Discussion: How to Make This Moar Fun; ALL THE FUNS, SO POST YOU BASTARDS

So... given that I know people like things like this, but things aren't moving here, I'd like to change that. Drastically.

Hetalia was based on a lot of silliness in five minute episodes (by the way, this is one of my favorite shows). The Personification Roleplays I have done in the past has been a bit more serious, with a guide even being made for NationStates Personification. However, NSP has also attempted to do silly fun stuff, with sometimes successful results.

I want to get people active here. I don't want politics to entirely follow, as I know that the World Stage can end up being overwhelming. I want to see a mixture of politics... but also fun things as well. I already have something planned out, but I want to hear other people as well. Keep in mind, we can make this somewhat realistic, we can abandon realism (sorry Lines) and have crazy things happen that would make the common human fall to their knees and cry, or we can do something in between.

So... what are your thoughts?

I think the problem here is that there are /no/ activities or scenarios that we can actually try and RP with our personifications of, and if there is any, it is all politics and stuff, so I think that these fun things (whatever you're planning, you obscure man you) could help stimulate more participation from everyone.

Regarding realism, maybe we can abandon it a teensy bit as this section of the forums isn't affected much by the Ministry (not much, but I believe it still is).

All in all, a decent idea in my opinion.

Personally, I feel that realism is kinda... impossible with this type of RP. After all, you have supernatural beings that exist, tied to the thoughts and beliefs of people in a system that they created.

Of course, this is just me justifying a number of quirky ideas I've been having for the RP. :P

My feeling is that this should be a dramedy of sorts. In the past, that is how I have done personification roleplaying, and it has worked quite well... lasting a good few years actually via chatroom (around two years). We suspend realism overall, allowing for unique opportunities. At times, it seems like a epic quest for a random artifact, and other times... well, I'll leave it at mystical island with flying panties and awkward moments.

I don't know, we should probably make special events that affect and include everyone.

I am going to seal this idea from my bitch boy Baal. Why not make it a school like environment either a highschool or university where our characters interact and live in dorms or roommates or something.
