Evaluation of the Method
Well, as the title states, I just want your opinions about the method we’ve used to create the group.
How was it?
At the moment I don’t have much to add to this post, it’s hard to get anything done around kids.
Best regards,

Well, im not much of a writer and explaining my concept and formulating the text into something decent atleast, was abit annoying.
So for me personally its abit annoying, but as for the method in general I think its a good way to keep things active while having “cooldowns” like people being away and such things.
Otherwise I think alot of questions about the concepts and characters can be solved easier in spending one evening together and just brainstorming, quicker way to get your questions answered aswell. But as mentioned earlier I liked anyway, since it sped up the progress of getting started while you were away and I probably wouldnt mind doing it again if something similiar would occur.
I agree with PB, I much prefer the “face to face” method but this is useful in saving time when the regular one is not an option.
I myself actually prefer this option even though some of you are quite slow with responses.
The Face to Face option mostly just takes time when you ask things you can ask over the net just as easily. The only thing is that you have a reluctance to ask something over the net just because you don’t want to.
The big advantage with doing it in posts are plentiful. For example you can always go back and read the answers again and also try to follow your original train of thought. But one of the best things is that it’s possible for everyone to read it, which is something I value greatly since I prefer not to repeat myself 2000 times.
I think it worked well, but perhaps it can be difficult if you have more special conceptual stuff that you need to ask questions about, where one question leads to another etc.. Like if Ankan wanted to play a norki and not knowing anything about them. But in that case an MSN conversation might be a good supplement.
Well, as I said its not a bad way of doing things, its good in its way, and as you pointed out, that you can go back and follow your train of thought and you can also reconsider stuff and such, sure its a good way of doing things, but its also slower, no matter how you look on it.(first getting everybody to write on the blog, and people keeping the posts active.)
well well.. all upcoming groups had around 30 ish comments so I guess that was pretty decent atleast for a first attempt and I wouldnt mind doing it again.
It worked well, but only because there were a lot of time to do it. This made me create the character in really small steps and it turned out good. Since you were away and there was no hurry, I could take my time. I’m not claiming I worked actively on my character the whole time.
Sometimes questions are answered a bit slowly when you are doing stuff on the other side of the world, which could have been answered directly if the characters were created during a face to face session.
I’m not sure this will be such a good idea to quickly make characters and get started, but it could be sped up and done almost the same in a faster way.
