So I've been reading the Ask the Tales Cast Tumblr a lot today, and I suddenly got the idea of having one of these for the entire Epoch roster. Basically speaking, it'll be a catch-all ask tumblr; anyone can ask any character anything. Everyone would have access to the Tumblr's account so everyone can get to answering quickly, tell others that have questions waiting for them, that sort of thing. I'd personally like to see this to see what answering a question is like, but what about you all? Do you guys like this idea or is it too much or something?

Only real issue I see with it is everyone having access to the same account would allow for impersonations and whatnot. Nothing to stop someone from answering another person's questions.

I don't really think that would be much of an issue. Impersonations aren't really a major concern here on Epoch since everyone here follows a code of honor in that regard; I don't think an impersonation has happened yet on Epoch *knocks on wood*, at least with malice and lasting longer than 5 minutes. An impersonation is easily fixed by deleting the post, though, right? Not really familiar enough with Tumblr to know whether or not you can delete stuff.
Aside from that, though, I figure that there could be a sort of sign-up sheet for who's on the ask tumblr; I.E., not all members will have access to the tumblr's answering side because they don't want to, and beyond that not all of one person's characters have to be on the list of "People you can ask questions to". You, for instance, can have Ryusuke and Elinda available for questions but Jason and Kurogane are off the menu, so to speak. If this is the case, I figure that there could be a list of "approved questionees" and their owners.

Tumblr has an option for joint blogs. Since this feature allows many people to post on one particular blog from their own accounts, we would be able to tell who posted what from the blog's dashboard, which I believe would make impersonation difficult.

So some talk has been going around the cbox about this, and it seems that it might be a better idea to, rather than make a tumblr for this, use threads instead. Here's how it would work out, at least the basic idea: one thread would be for questions, in which case, how the thread works, who is available for questions, and similar important information, while a different thread would be for answers, wherein the person who owns the character will quote the question and answer it in a manner similar to an ask Tumblr.
Does this sound like a better/easier idea?
EDIT: Forgot to mention it was also suggested that it be just one thread, but I think that would get cluttered and confusing fast, especially since it isn't exactly a thread game, least not how I'm envisioning it, so it would be jumping around a lot.

I think the two thread system would work as well as the one thread system. Whatever you prefer, but if you do the two thread version, make sure you have a link in the first post of both to the other thread.
