I've never really felt the need to post on the forums; but with this issue becoming a...growing topic, I felt the need to give my two cents on this. SL2 is a great concept and it's still a game I've honestly felt I have found a place in; but with that, of course, there needs to be a continued stream of interest else wise one can get bored of the 'daily routine. There's always needed to been a balance between 'action' and 'casual', but that's getting off topic.

Events are meant to be one off, twice off, sometimes thrice off thing for devving characters and just generally keep people interested in what they play; but of course, there needs to be some kind of 'antagonist' or bad guy to work for in that event. But that can be severely limiting in cases where you don't have enough people for said event.

And that's why it feels like the entire alt interaction rule should be 'lifted' if only slightly. If it's a public; GM-Ran event where there's planning and major prep before hand? I fully see no issue with restricting the interaction between alts as to make sure one person isn't trying to get all the spot light and such.

But in private events, where it's more focusing on a personal characters development and its done between friends; say in a house space? I can't see where this would be a issue. The people involved know of the interaction; or rather, should be. In doing this; it both gives the players themselves the ability to entertain other players through such things. Have /actual/ character arcs with /actual/ development, go beyond the usual Cellsvich Square Casual or Arena Group Fight RP and make something fun for many to enjoy.

Not only that, but it'd put much less stressing to get more GMs. GMs don't have time or interest much of the time as /is/ to run events. If everyone started running to them in the attempt to find someone to run there events for them? It'd leave them even less.

Sure, there should be some 'checking' involved in the process. That's understandable. But RP is about making a character and doing something fun with them! But part of that is rping with others and that would be a lot easier if you're not, say, unable to participate in a event due to already being a villian. But having a character who would at least BE there.

RP is a great thing; its a tool that lets us create awesome, interesting characters which we honestly feel proud of, in great moments. And down with; in sad moments. We shouldn't limit ourselves only because of a rule like this; especially when consent is given on both sides. Sigrogana Legends is a absolute stellar medium for RP, but we can't let it turn into a...Slice-of-Life only sort of situation with the exception of the rare times GMs feel able to do a event.

Please consider this, and thank you.
