So I was reading the old SOE's today and I was reminded of how much fun I had writing all the old characters. Then I reread the (relatively) new Laguna posts and I thought: "I wonder what Odine would say if he knew that Laguna was working at a restaurant while he was living the good life on a world tour?"
And thus I got a-writin' and now I just submitted an Odine and an Irvine post to SOE. Hopefully that will inspire bob to update his site, even if it's just to add these.
And then I got thinking. SOE seems at its best when the characters aren't in vacuums. It's okay for a character to talk about his/her life for the first few posts, but it's always better when the characters encounter the other characters. Hilarity often ensues. I mean, the whole Odine World Tour thing is enhanced by Selphie, Irvine, and the Queen of Cards. Kadowaki would be the most boring character in the world if it weren't for Rinoa's craziness keeping her on her toes. You get my point.
Anyway, along this line of thought, I saw a lot of opportunities for the (many) unused characters to start sending Squall emails. Here's some ideas:
What about Kiros, Ward, and Ellone? Their city is now President-less!
What does General Caraway think about having Laguna in the city?
Will Quistis and Xu catch Odine Fever?
Do Zone and Watts know about Rinoa's escape from Balamb?
There's more, but I can't think of any. I'm just trying to rally support because if no one else backs me up on this, I'll probably get bored and SOE will die as quickly as it was reborn.
Also, I think pretty much everyone will agree that Bob's Character Situation List is more of a list of suggestions than actual rules so no one should feel limited by them.
Hopefully I'll get some backup!
