I just wanted everyone to know, after a thorough reading of @Asmodeus blog, I have to mention this that the GM team will be following this formula at times: [SPOILI]
10. The Asshole Factor
The final seasoning to the above recipe. None of the techniques above will work unless you apply a dose of ASSHOLE to the equation.
Because sometimes, no matter how skillful a GM you are, things will happen that are beyond your control. Real life will get in the way, people will fall out, internet connections will be lost, and players will get writer's block. A good story cannot be achieved unless you are willing to drag people kicking and screaming to the next plot point.
I'm talking about hijacking, spamming people on IM, harassing players, dropping plot-bombs, guilt-tripping and slaughtering the unworthy. Some people may dream of a world where these things aren't necessary, but with roleplays you are essentially dealing with a limitless number of chaotic possibilities, and a firm hand is needed.
Legacy has been built upon a mammoth heap of crushed egos, massacred characters, hijacked plotlines, bullying and intimidation. But at the same time, this has allowed those loyal to the story to soar upon incredible flights of fancy and create truly memorable characters. And now, at the end, those who are still there have a story to call their own.
And in my opinion, this is far better than having a string of failed roleplays and half-finished character sheets to your name.[/SPOILI] Also; for the other parts of the much important 'recipe,' look at his blog. Or else.

I didn't read that post about everyone interacting with a preset person. You'll have to forgive me, my roleplay style is very different because I've never rped with people who decided OCC to make up a plot. (That and I wasn't able to read every single post on this thread before posting.) I've grown up rping by improvising on the spot so if my post in the RP thread doesn't work, I'll gladly edit it for some other purpose.
