1. Okay so I had an idea that perhaps people can choose where in the process to app their character in at. Since everyone will be coming in as being established there already what if we allow canon characters to be apped in as basically AU because they believe the ruse and pay no heed to their other memories. That way the game won't be overrun with "You have memories of another life too? WE ALL HAVE MEMORIES OF ANOTHER LIFE WTF tinfoilhat.jpg"

Additionally, we could use the good old dreams excuse to explain memories. In the world of the game perhaps vivid dreams ~~memories~~ of another life are like nightmares. Everyone has them or at least has had them and there's nothing to worry about. If two characters from the same canon realize their dreams/memories are complementary it can be told to them that they have this discussion all the time and then forget about it. We could perhaps have OCs or other characters that were apped in more AU or (once the game is more established) character from the same canon that have been there awhile brush it off as something that happens to everyone and "well duh, you told Steve about your dreams weeks ago and it's no wonder he's started latching onto them with the amount of time you spend babbling to him about them."

2. As for communication I liked the idea of social networking that was brought up earlier and thought what if instead of the traditional "Text, Audio, Video" we have "Facebook, Twitter, Video Blog" or something to that effect. People could even post manips or drawn pictures of something relevant to their character as photo posts and other people could comment. Idk, what the consensus on this one will be but I'm just throwing it out there!

See, I like this solution. Both domestic-AUs and canons, because it'll make the illusion more real.

Oooh, that might work even better than the pure-OC idea for adding to the "wait, which is real?" sense. And this way people who want to write the AU history can at least have a hand in it.

And then characters from the same canon won't necessarily be able to spur each other on down the tinfoil hat road. I like this.

YEAH!!

i am so excited about this

Fail!Anon from above thumbs up these ideas, man.

love all of this

I think the comm idea would work if we stick to more of a video blog idea, since Facebook and Twitter are made for quick, pointless updates rather than anything that can provoke discussion.

Hmm.

On the one hand, I want to say "yes" to video blogs so that we don't have to deal with characters using facebook-style abbreviations and misspellings.

On the other...

I want the game to have a heavier emphasis on logs than on comm posts. :(

Well, I think with the town idea and such it will be easy to have characters find excuses to interact and to set up posts for some action spam. For example, if a character had a phone with a video camera and wi-fi they could do a live blog from some knock off of stickam or something and someone could just bump into them while they're out and about putting on their live blog.
