[quote=“Steve Shipway”]I like the idea of occasional climactic music as a signal that you have 1 minute/30sec/whatever to end in a cliffhanger, followed by a 5-min ‘advert break’ during which you can move to a new location, change costume, plan OOC with other players, etc. Although every 10mins is too frequently, how about every 30mins or hourly (like a normal soap length in fact)
Various rooms is a good idea, although one big room with different corners (with appropriate scenery) would probably work better as we’d all know what was going on everywhere else.[/quote]
Change of costume? Pah. You haven’t watched enough Days of Our Lives (in which New Year’s Eve 1999 took, I believe, THREE WEEKS of daily hour-long episodes).
In the current plotline one evening’s conversation between Marlena and John has taking a week, and they’re still saying the same thing.
