This office hour rendition was a little different than the others! I asked YOU questions instead of just fielding them (although I did that too), to help me plan my priorities for 2016. I'd love to hear YOUR voice, too!
Following up on our Festival of Being Excellent to Each Other, it seems only appropriate to announce the release of new and improved friendship management interfaces!
In the end, you gave each other 964 kudos this week. That's 964 little lights of hope and joy that were ignited all over the world. I hope your relationships are stronger than ever, and that your RP groups - and your life - will continue to see the benefits for months and years to come.
It's time for more excellence! I want to take a moment today to discuss a common problem that can come between people, even old friends, and how we can prevent it from happening here: Cliche narratives.
Though we spend FOBETEO looking to minimize and repair as much OOC drama as possible, we all know that IC conflict can be a lot of fun! So here's a treasure from a FOBETEO long ago: A quickie RP prompt designed to create immediate conflict between a whole group of characters!
Since the opening bells of FOBETEO sounded, you have given each other almost 700 kudos. That number alone is impressive, but when you take a moment to consider what it really represents, it will take your breath away.
If you want to track me down and speak with me in real time about any RPR-related questions, concerns, ideas, or whatever else, you'll be guaranteed some "face time" next weekend.
Yesterday, we talked about sending a very difficult message: Asking someone if they can alter or explain their behavior to help with hurt feelings or other social fallout. Now we're going to talk about what to do if you [i]receive[/i] that message.
