While I think it's great that we're trying to get everyone involved in a community event again - and for the sake of everyone else who is in support of the idea, I hope it really brings more engagement for everyone - I personally will not be taking part in roleplay.

I like the forums in general and I'm so glad they were reintroduced to the wiki for general discussion, but I've had too many bad experiences with roleplay in the past to ever walk that road again.

The only suggestion I would make (and this is coming from my own experience) is don't ever start a roleplay without having some sort of plot direction in mind. You mention here the idea of "Prom", and that's a fine start, but everyone who is taking part should probably brainstorm ideas that could happen during the prom that will give the roleplay substance. This will avoid it reaching the inevitable dead-end. Nothing kills a good roleplay experience like nobody knowing where to go once the idea has started due to a lack of planning in advance.
