Regular Moots?

[Wilhelm Opens-the-Way]

Gathering info OOC.

IC Flavor of werewolf is that there's 'always' a moot every moon of some type, but at our game we don't observe that. I was thinking as Grand Elder Wilhelm might try to have them 'IC' more often rather than most of them being 'off camera' as they are played now, but OOC Schetzle would like to gauge if that is actually a good idea or not.

I'm curious to know if people would see a benefit in having shorter half-game moots that are actually one weekend every month (every second Saturday as a random time for example).

There are many pros and cons to either style that I can think of, I'm just sure I haven't thought of them all. I'm not tied to either concept completely, and could see trying the concept for a couple of months to see how it goes.

Anyway, there's nothing official at all about the poll above. It's all out of character opinion. Feel free to post opinons and vote. Share your reasons for voting the way you did if you care to.

Naturally whatever the numbers show, the staff can do what they want, but they can vote too if they are curious.

Experience from the past has taught me that there if you want to do a "half-game" Moot, you have to start it at midnight or later, since any earlier and it is prone to expand to fill the available space-time. Also, it really puts a damper on the ability to do other things that week, since everyone *has* to attend, even those people who have nothing to do but sit around and listen to things neither they nor their character cares about.

OTOH, some issues need dealing with more frequently than every 2-3 months. I would suggest doing a full-game moot every 2-3 months, but have an open Council meeting for a half-game every month that there is not a Moot, where the Council and anyone else who is interested or has issues can meet and talk about what needs doing/addressing. That way issues between Moots get taken care of in a timely fashion, but only those who need or want to be there are, freeing up others to do their own thing, and then the final decisions can be announced to everyone in a clear concise manner afterward, without forcing them to sit through "too many words".

To... many... words.

I'd call the above results a resounding meh and see no reason to have Wilhelm make any move to change stuff as it is for now.

Chris, I'd like to point out that there are way more than 15 people at game, and if Poll's like this aren't announced at game there are a lot of voices that aren't heard. Perhaps something like this should be asked at announcements for the people or don't have Internet or don't check the boards.

I'm not looking for more info than I got here really. If it were super important - or I thought there was some large interest in a change based on the small poll I might have announced it, but as I was only gathering a little OOC opinion totally informally.
