I'm just interested to know whether people are interested in a new campaign and if yes, how long-ish should it be? Since the last campaigns all didn't get finished, though this might have been due to their open nature. So what's next?

- More missions, screw the campaign
- Mini-campaign (one post per person)
- Short campaign (3 posts each)
- Long campaign (5+ posts each)

And what kind of campaign would you like?

- Open campaign (just do whatever and see what comes, like the Summer BBQ)
- Closed campaign (clear goal to go after, like a baddy to defeat or an item to find)

Please voice your opinions here :)

I prefer short-ish campaigns (so if you haven't checked for a while you can still keep up easily) with a goal. I didn't post in the summer one much after a while cos I just didn't know what to write.

Personally, I like long closed campaigns, but in order to cater for everyone else, maybe it should be a short one. Making it a closed campaign means that people will have a definitive role to perform. So for me;

Short, closed campaign.

I agree that people should have a goal (or we might just end up with a very.....interesting story). But don't make it too long, otherwise we'll have people stretching things out and that gets a little boring and hard to write to sometimes. I say Short Closed Campaign.

I'd like a short campaign with a story. If that makes sense.
So short closed campaign~

With my busy schedule, I'd like to have one where I can periodically disappear for days at a time XD
However, my character's participation in the campaign during my absence could just be switched over to other participants...so either one could work

But when I DO get free time again, a short/closed campaign would be nice.
Short enough to encompass my free time AND finish when my work starts up again

Seems like everyone is going for short. I agree.
But I'm half way stuck between open and closed because closed would just be too strict, no non-sence stuff, and open, people just wander off and eventually don't know what to write.
I think there should be an aim but not a strict one. Eg.
(strict) Killing a bady - everyone is gonna go after the bady so that will just be pointless and stupid.
(free with aim) A group of people are on an outing they discover stuff, what stuff, where, who, how... etc. etc.

I hope that makes sence...

I read "killing a baby" XD

Closed campaign doesn't mean it's completely written out in advance, you're just given a goal to accomplice, while with an open campaign you don't really know where you're going (they're best for messing around, though that doesn't mean a closed campaign should be all serious - I'd be bored stiff if it was all serious).

I'm just glad that we can get a campaign going. Last one (and the only one) I did kinda just faded away...

A short one would probably be a good test to see how things will turn out.

Well Violetta is the only official baby in the history of HD that I know of XD She's certainly the only baby NPC. I guess she's like, technically about 4 now so not so much baby but still.

The campaign is up but no-one posting :/

*seriously considering GP fines for people who say they'll participate and then don't*

Happening a bit too often x_x

I just got a job, and am doing the NaNoWriMo. I hope I can post in it sometime on the weekend.

Pshhhh, I'm working nearly 40 hours this week and I have exams, and essays - and *I* posted. It only takes 5 minutes LOL

Exactly. It's not that hard to post, and I usually think up stuff when driving, or when I'm in bed or whenever. Just brainstorming whenever I don't have anything on my mind, and then put it together in a post when I'm home :P

I failed. (pays fine)

And I noticed that reading my post gave me a headache. Maybe I should use a different color, or use less dialogue.

I personally like closed long campaigns. Mission isn't that fun and sometimes not really easy.

Long campaigns always die and short ones become long XD

Campaign. Somewhere between short and long.
