I was thinking of what we have irl that isn't in Lusternia, which just happened to be in the middle of math class. But anyways, I don't know if anyone has had this idea before or not... what if we performed plays in Lusternia? you know, have lines and a skit, costumes and everything that goes along with it; people comming to watch and laugh and cry. All that fun stuff.

What do you think?

I'd be in.

yay

Yeah that'd be for pwn

I think Achaea has an actual system for plays.

I've never played Achaea before besides, how could I forsake my beloved Lusternia? It would be fun to have plays in lusternia, it could add some more culture.

I don't see a need for some special system for plays, personally... you can do everything with what we have, though the costumes would be a bit hard without custom designs for each article of clothing

Meh, my char has been trying to get a troupe togheter for a few RL weeks now. So far he has about four people, a possible playwright and an event to open with a play. If you're from New Celest and interested, you can look me up/message me in-game. =)

Edit: that might be a bit of ooc-ic collision but if you ask the right persons in-game, they'll point you to me I guess.

Plays? I've dreamed of being involved with them myself (OOCly only: ICly I think only Cwin would've ever been involved). The trick, though, is finding a cast that can get together to do it (or have enough stand-ins).

Probably best to start small: quick 1-act plays of short stories. The less to plan, the easier to make it work. Big heavy duty stuff should come only after it makes it big.

Otherwise, I say go for it.

Good idea... you should ask the charites to add costumes to the list of possible tailoring thingies.

Thanks for all the great ideas... and for keeping me on the ground about costume designs I can get a bit carried away when it comes to ideas, I don't think realistically.


and....


Is it ok I'm from Seren?

You need to start international clans for the arts...

Then you won't have a population limitation.

I have a stage for this purpose, you're welcome to use it.

One of the things the (now long-deceased) Bards of the Wilde clan was initially planning on doing eventually was putting on skits/plays.

Indeed it does. I was in the second performance of one of the first (maybe the first... I forget) plays. Would have been in earlier, but I got so sick that I couldn't sit up for more then 5 minutes at a time for the first performance. Yeah, that was fun

My achaean character wanted to be in a play.. She held several music recitals though.. so I guess that's good enough. Their stage system is nifty.

OH wait.. I was in this play about how Shallam, Hashan, and Ashtan were all... gay men.. or something to that affect.. I'm not telling which part I was..

When an alt of mine was an Apostate in Achaea.. I faintly helped with a guild play. They're an arse. Not because you have to learn your lines.. it's a copy and paste job.. not because it takes time to prepare the stage or costumes.. a few lines of text.. but because organising all sorts of people with different IRL agendas to appear at one time in game is -HELL-. That's where the problem is, I'm afraid. But.. it's totally workable, and good luck with it if you go for it.

Well... on second thought, if a seren wants to contribute, he's welcome to join.




Yup, that's gonna be rather hard. The less people, the easier I guess. Either that or give the same part to two persons, in case one of them can't make it. That will make preparing the play a drag though and might make some people discontended.

Yeh, I'm gunna get to that as soon as I can





Thanks, I'll probably take you up on that offer

That sounds good. I wouldn't mind if everyone got together and performed in huge theatres.
Although, if someone messes up on stage, it'd look pretty silly.
