A New Idea
Jan. 31st, 2003 05:31 pmWell, I will say one thing about being unemployed. Though I have been plunged into sudden grinding poverty, I do have a lot of spare time on my hands. Today I used that spare time to go to the library and look up headlines from the Register Mail this week in 1997. LARP time, in other words. I would really like to start incorporating some of those things into our chronicle, if only to make downtime and influence use more entertaining and rewarding.
But here's where the big idea comes in. Something like that would have to be updated every day or two, to reflect influence use and new information and stuff. And some things would be only accessable to certain people. So it would seem that the perfect venue for this operation would be... a LiveJournal.
It seems like a great idea to me, but for a few drawbacks. First and foremost is the new accounts thing. Anyone can view a regular journal entry, but to get into protected posts, you need an account. And not everyone in the LARP who might want to use influence is a LiveJournal member. I've been trying to figure out exactly who is. Right now, these are the people I know.

There are probably more, but I don't know them. Anyhow, if I were to generate a rumors and news account, I would still have eight codes I could give out to people. And after a week, each of them could give a code to someone else. So I think we could set it up, but it might take a little work. What do you all think?
