[quote=@Lucius Cypher]
An overarching plot however will happen regardless if there are players who take part, and it will affect them whether they choose to ignore it or not. While I'm always in favor of making things player centric, the world does not revolve around our characters. Lives go on regardless if we're paying attention to it or not, and the spontaneous of when it all comes to head sounds more interesting than picking apart our own character's flaws or an excuse to have a empathetic SoL chapter.

This isn't a plus.

A subplot is as relevant as the people involved want to make it, but the point is that that is a [i]choice[/i]. Making a plot that affects people whether or not they want it is a poor way to make people want to stick around.

Whether or not what [i]you[/i] do is relevant to everyone [i]else[/i] should [i]be[/i] irrelevant. In and of itself. That's just ego.
