Personally I had something like "Jack Polnut" in mind.
^^^This sounds fine
I think it's cool if you want to adopt a persona rather than yourself, if you want to play someone with different political views than your own or something, but it should be kept simple and other players shouldn't be expected to remember your character's name or anything
We could create an index of who is who, but that might over complicate things. I'll leave that up to everyone else.
or require that they sign/begin their posts with a link to their persona or something
This is unworkable and I really think it's a bad idea that takes far too much into the perilous realm of being little more than an interactive What If timeline. Please, please, no personas - if someone wants to adopt a persona different to their "real" one I don't have a problem (I mean I'm a Tory MP) but I just want to avoid LOL NEWT GINGRICH MP XD if at all possible.i don't mean like a wikipedia page, i mean something along the lines of a single post in a dedicated thread
