So something I think sites should be including these days, is a dedicated board/area that we can go, on the site itself, to discuss the plot, suggest threads and find people to RP with.
For instance, say you have an idea for a story, but you need somebody to implement it with, then you create a thread advertising it and somebody can contact you so you can get it started. Yes, messaging/chat works for that, but that only reaches the people online right around when you ask. Having an area to post it gives you a better chance of reaching people who aren't in your particular timezone. That is to say rather than simply posting an open thread somewhere on the site, you can get some characters lined up to participate first. Or, alternatively, you have a thread which is sitting inactive, as happens quite often, so you can draw attention back to that thread by asking others to join you.
Basically, what I am suggesting is the forum equivalent of an LFG. I think there are numerous benefits besides those stated, and is simply a convenience we have been missing out on for a long time.
Thoughts?

It can definitely be implemented. Used in conjunction with the plot networking it could improve the functionality of the site.
I don't think I have the ability to make board anymore. ;P So you'll have to get Adam to see this.

Well, it doesn't necessarily need to be a board, but that would make it a lot easier to see exactly who is requesting what. Sure you could all post it in a thread, and a thread would make do, but a board would be ideal. Though the problem with making it a board would mean the possibility of more clutter. I guess a sub-board in the OOC area would work, potentially..
It would probably just be easier to know who wants what, and who is willing to participate if each one were its own thread.

I see what u mean. U can make a thread in the special board requestiong what and who in the title and the thread wouldn't becomeso thick and clutched. I vote YAY for this petition. Or u do it in this OOC board, off course.

The following thread should sate your appetites. Thanks for the suggestion, it's something I was looking to do originally, but with time restrictions and the pressure to get the site out I missed it out. Thankfully you reminded me, so thanks again

Why is there a Wu/Shu event, but not a Wu/Wei event? I mean, you have at least three of us who want one (Anth, David, and myself)...

Because Sun Ce has not stated he is going to be attacking there yet. If it makes you feel better, I have the image made up for it, but I prefer to post things up as they happen xD

Haha, sadly my muse is seriously lacking today, but I'll start a post in a sec, once I put something warmer on You all need to bare with me though, I'm trying to slow down what I do in my rp posts, eg. Sun Ce is contemplating, rather than acting straight away and not giving too much away. I am enjoying the subtle digs at me for it though rofl Post should be up within the hour though dude

What about instead of a duel tournament you have a story board tournament? People essentially draw straws, get paired up and then we see what the hell happens.

*Gets paired up with Lyle.*
*Nothing happens.*

I am enjoying the subtle digs at me for it though rofl I know, right? I think the best part about all of that, was that we all wrote those in the actual description, rather than what they were saying aloud, so you know know it was all meant for you, hahaha. It was pretty fun though, I've gotta admit. "How do we tell Adam that Sun Ce is being annoying, without making our characters insult their king?" <-- Our thought process all led to the same answer, too. What about instead of a duel tournament you have a story board tournament? People essentially draw straws, get paired up and then we see what the hell happens. I guess it could be interesting, though if anything you could try that out inside the new Plot Discussion board, see how it works out with you and a few others. The only problem I see is if you get pairs of people who just would have no reason to be anywhere near each other.. Like if you wound up pairing two enemies, there would be no reason for either of them to be meeting up with each other, other than for battle.
