I think whatever we take as title, I would include the name Grotian to situate the blog right away. If we had Tales from the Tunnels, I would add a subhead. ---or have the blog description taking care of that if you think it might be too long.

My vote is for tales from the tunnels: the grotian grapevine, because then it seems like it will be many tales told by many people over the years, like old wives tales passed along throgh the generations

Great name! I'm liking where this is going. I'll submit something once it goes up. I imagine my piece will be kind of the other side of the child's viewpoint, i.e: a parent watching their child grow up under an oppressive rule.

Looks like we have a consensus for Tales From The Tunnels: The Grotian Grapevine so let's get that in the works if SpiltFish will kindly set it up. Many thanks to you for agreeing to do it Spiltfish, and thanks to everyone for the super suggestions. Nice teamwork Grotians!

ETA: Since we should have this ready to roll tomorrow, anyone who wants to do something can start preparing stories now.

I don't know that I necessarily have anything to say, but how does one go about gaining write access to a group blog?

I sent an email off to the blog email so it should be blogged up soon enough, and I made this youtube video of an interview with a downtrodden grotian:

I'm starting to be uncomfortable about how much canon we're inventing. It is one thing to take liberties with two or three points of dialect. But to decide that the Proscripts' religion resembles Abrahamic monotheism, or that there was a vast book-burning in the Tunnels, strikes me as uncomfortably likely to conflict with canon the PMs would want to release in the future.

Is this kind of deep roleplaying common in modern ARGs? Is there any precedent or custom that would tell us what is appropriate here? There is little to no reference to it in the resources I've looked at for new ARGers.

I don't want this blog to turn into gamejacking.
