You see normally I put these things out here and people say, "Oooo great idea! Count me in." or something to that effect.

Is the lack of response perhaps because of the story thread part of it? If that's it we can drop that aspect and make it a straight game.

Great idea, but no time. Currently in finals, which is taking up nearly all my time. Then comes winter break, during which I plan on spending as little time around computers as possible. Then comes the beginning of my graduate-level classes, and I don't know how much time commitment those will require yet.

But it does raise some very interesting issues, opportunities for rapidly shifting alliances, very developed backstory... hell, if you get a good enough writer in on it, it would make a very good novel.

Maybe come summertime I could have time to do something like this. By then, we could probably use SEV, too.

It sounds interesting, I'm just not sure about the RP aspect... sure, I like roleplaying, but requiring written AAR's seems a bit much for me
Still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give one of thse things a try!
Any mods, by chance?
edit: BTW, are you looking for AAR's, short stories with characters inside the houses, what?
