Chachi asked if it was okay for observers to join the group to lurk. I said that I had no objection, but I wanted to give people time to respond with their preferences. Bramblefae said that she didn't mind as long as they didn't disrupt gameplay.

I said that we'd give it until today to see what people wanted to do, but that got buried in another thread. I'll pose the question again, and give it until tomorrow for folks to weigh in with their opinions.

Would we like to allow observers? These people would be able to read the game thread and participate in a "Gallery" thread for out-of-game chatter.

Thoughts?

I think it could be fun as long as we know who the people are ahead of time. I'd be interested to hear the commentary on what we're doing.

We could leave it as "invitation only," like the Cullen group, so we'd pretty much be guaranteed that any member invited would be someone we know.

I agree. And we have people asking!

I like this. And the "gallery" thread. That way folks can chime in about whatever, without disrupting the actual game.

It sounds like we have a majority in favor of opening it up, but I would like to give Lorien19 and CuriousArtemis a chance to register an opinion before we start sending out the invites. If only because Play-by-Post is a lot like writing a story by committee, and not everyone is comfortable letting others view what they write. The quality of the writing has been excellent so far, but there's nothing wrong with being shy.
