Abandoned Plots of Moon

I figured I'd share some of these abandoned ideas I've had over the years. Some were even out right rejected. :p
This is also to show how we pass approval on different plots.
Originally there was an idea to name all dragonets during the time of the plague after bottles of medicine. Can you imagine your brown dragon named Peptobismalth? Yikes...
Another plot was to send a lot of characters between times... We couldn't reach an agreement on where, when, and above all... why? What if the dragons were infectious... This is where Ta'yo originated from and he required separate approvals. O.o
Killing Enid... Come on, we just love a good bad guy. Plus with the idea that she's still out there brings some fun for future plots... That doesn't mean she's unstoppable, but I took a page out of batman's rule book for her. No killing Enid.
So, the method of plot development is such. Propose an idea. Give us an idea of why, when, and where. Who is based on your own characters or another player's if you want to work it out. Get permission to involve others before hand. Once you have these things, write a few sentences and 'explain' it to us.
As to how approvals work - Plot approvals require both admin (SJ and Moon) a moderator (Talen) and members (Kbear and Bladesong) to be made allowable. The job I have is to ensure the board keeps running so I really don't ask for permission unless it's from SJ. I do want more insight from our members, more plots to be shared. That's why this section of the forum exists. BTW: Don't forget, you only need 3 approvals to get something started, unless it affects the forum as a whole.
