 		Calling ALL pms
if you're a player - please don't read - ta!
So - an idea
Wondering about making a back up 'real' area for all our characters - I've recently been involved in a crossover between characters from two args and it seemed to work - wondering if, thinking aloud here, characters from games could have a mutual 'place' to stay/visit/interact etc.

For my next instalment, I'm possibly going to create a hotel chain, and, thinking how, for every major city, this 'chain' could have a hotel - thus allowing for interactive aspects while all pm's get to chip in, help create and govern a large idea?

Just in formulation stages but thoughts were/are making at least one hotel per major country, then per city at a later stage - all with same logo and a possible founder [which may become an arg in itself later on] but for now would anyone else be a]interested in taking part and b] would make use if it in the future?
if so - pm me here or email me: p_giffney [splat] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk

thanks!

 		Brainstorming is good. I rather like the idea of a hotel chain, with a recognizable logo, one which might crop up like an easter egg for people familiar with it, but not overpower the brand identity of whatever ARG property is taking advantage of it -- sort of like how Slusho pops up in unrelated J.J.Abrams projects.

The meta resource side of it will rub some people the wrong way (which is not necessarily a problem). This reminds me of an idea tossed around a few years back -- tossed like salad then put into a tumble dryer -- for a newspaper which could act like a "real" external entity into which multiple unrelated ARGs could plant stories as character background

Some threads and posts on the subject...
