don't get me wrong, i think roleplay's great. i did so much roleplaying back in the day and i turned out................. fine..........

we also have plenty of mods for it at the moment. or at least i think this, maybe users feel differently. the issue isn't in the number of mods willing to do the work. it's as oasis mentioned, it's in the complex ruleset those mods would have to enforce. public hosting of collaborative writing introduces a lot of potential rules and conflict that can range between "this person took a story in a direction i don't like" to "this person keeps doing creepshow Dare You Enter My Magical Realm stuff i didn't sign up for".

all kinds of things can go wrong here. it's a thing i would love to foster, but actually crafting the perfect silver bullet ruleset for managing it and making sure it's a good experience for everyone is difficult work.
