This is more if you have so many points you can buy a game-wide plot, typically something from your character's canon. And while it's a nice option, I dislike that people who know more people tend to control most of what's happening in game because they have the cr to get the activity to get the points...If that makes sense. It can make things very frustrating, too, because it's technically a real-world setting and there are never total opt-out options for things like that. I mean, one week everything became a twisted version of Wonderland, and this week there is a parade of elves going through. There are some things you can't assume your character just didn't see without also assuming your character is completely ignorant of everything around her. So I'm just...bad plan.

Yes, I like it.

And yeah, as you said, when it doesn't work out, it's just one bad thread. Often one which isn't especially significant to character development.

I've been playing at IJ for just over a year now, I think. I play at valar. The first (and one of only two) game I had more than one person in.

IJRP like an entirely different culture from DWRP. I was so confused the first couple of months.
