Young Writers Society

Yes, yes, another crazy and excentric idea from the loveable Alice.

The whole idea for this is to have an extra room in the chat which is basically a virtual dance! It could last from a few hours to a day, but we need Mods to be in the room at all times (right?) so this is a thread for day suggestions, mod voulenteers, and if we get all this figured out publicly asking people to the dance!

I got the term Holidance in the chat when I was voicing the idea, my fingers were moving too fast for my mind so I typed holidance instead of "Holiday Dance, basically an RPG of a dance, of course we'd do some sort of silly contests and games, and we'd have an offical DJ finding music on youtube and putting it up for us to listen to as we RPG.

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Ideas?

This is an okay idea, but what would you do in the room? There should be specific things like possibly quiz shows (like we did with the monkey v. dragon with trident, but with holiday things) and other things but you need some ideas of things to do because if it's just another room then....it's just another room and would be pointless?? Yea, makes sense haha.

The point would be to kinda RPG a dance, I suppose I should've mentioned that in the origional post! *goes to edit that*

Is there any real point to it though? I mean, Nate bannded seperate rooms for a reason. Even though there would be mods you never know. Also, wouldn't that just slow down the sit? I don't know. I could work, but it's not my call.

You're my friend, i just don't support it. this site was desinde for writing. do we need dancing? Just think about it. It could be fun, just trouble some.

I've always thought the point of YWS was to support writers and have fun, and the point of this would be to have fun! Its sorta like the costume contest, that wasn't entirely to support writing, and like many of the articles in this form, not entirely to support writing. Just to have fun. (I think i said have fun enough times in there haven't ?)

I kind of have to agree with piepie. It seems that having seperate rooms in the chat causes a massive slow down (at least from my experience). The only reason I think it would be considered is if we had a holiday week, or it could have been introduced for the birthday bash...but because we are already through that and we most likely won't have a holiday week because everyone is super busy during the holidays and finding enough mods to oversee this would be difficult...I guess I just don't see it happening. I could see us possibly having an RPG week in the future, where different storybooks each get their own day and time to be in a seperate room in the chat to RP in the chat and then update the storybook, but for a random rp? It's just kind of farfetched and kind of pointless.

The only reason (and the biggest reason) that I'm against it is because it seems to be without good reason. You would be doing about the exact same thing you do in the lounge, just RPing a dance... I'm sorry, I don't see a point to it.

This isn't going as well as I'd hoped, it just sounded like a cool idea, kinda like the Great YWS Gathering that kinda stopped being planned and discussed. My thought process included the fact that we already do RPG lounges (basically what I'm suggesting) which are way more random than this would be-just saying that this is already planned out and organized instead of going in and figuring it out from there.

I actually like the idea.

And it would give us a chance to celebrate our Prom King and Queen.

C'mon, mods. Lighten up. :p

Hehee, it does sound fun!

The only qualm I would have with it is that it is the holiday season and, as such, we're all going to be slightly tied up, with finals and stuff.

I like the idea. It is a little... Odd.

*dances*
*break dances*
*does the robot*

I am already starting! Heh. I will keep my eye on this.

I think it's a reasonable idea though I'd suggest to make it a temporary or infrequent basis. Like, it could be hosted at christmas for a christmas ball and perhaps at one other point during the year?

I dont think it would be fair to call it a christmas ball cause not everyone is christian. I like it, a fun social event for YWS. It could even be like the YWS Prom like Crysi said so we can celebrate the Queen and King.

I say Party!

I'm not totally sure I get what an RPG dance is, but I'm curious to find out. That is, I'd like to do it.

I wouldn't see that as a huge problem. Even non-Christians celebrate Christmas, just for the presents and social aspects.

It sounds like a cool idea, though I'm not quite sure what an RPG dance is. But I'm sure I'll find out XD
