A good player follows the plot and helps move the story along by their
character's actions and reactions. A really great player also makes
behind-the-scenes suggestions to help the plot move along. And a truly
spectacular player
does all of the above and isn't ticked off when their suggestions are not taken
as gospel. ;)
To mix a few metaphors, a better-than-average player can keep themselves
amused when they are not directly involved in the plot, and can also roll with
the
punches when the plot suddenly tangles them into it... or step up to the
plate and contribute possible causes, effects, and twists.
An average player writes duty logs, recapping what happened in the live sim.
A better-than-average player writes personal logs and develops their
character outside of the sim time. A really great player invites others to
co-write
with them and turns out joint logs that dovetail with the main plot, creating
subplots and in-depth character pieces.
What does a host want to see in a player? Someone who can participate
without trying to overrun what's going on, someone who contributes and draws
others
into contributing, and above all... someone who can spell, punctuate, and use
correct grammar. ;)
