[quote=@TokyoPewPew] trying to get back into 1x1 (i know, joke's on me) and it's getting irritating how much of a document purportedly setting out to establish honest and explicit expectations and network compatible writers together is written in code, jargon, euphemism, and often just, lies? to wit [/quote] Good stuff. I tried to get into 1x1 a long time ago and I've discovered it's not really for me. I think I've GMed too many games and I like receiving multiple small reactions from multiple players, even if they aren't as good as the single theoretical player I could be playing with in a 1x1 scenario. I try to talk myself back into it from time to time, but it never seems to work out. I really like that format you used and would like to present a few more.

They will never advance the plot or do anything you don't expect. However, their inner thoughts are not-so-subtle hints as to what I'd like your character to do next, because I hate discussing things OOCly and would rather you write a story for me to read.
