Player Associations Archive

I had a thought about a way to break the monotony of trying to kill kryats and night sister elders (and I'm posting it here because PA's are one of the few entities with enough resources to pull it off). Imagine, PA "Our Guild" presents "Hamlet" (or some other play or show).

In it's most basic form, you can have a bunch of players with a script, and set up the show. To make it more sophisticated, you can add some macros for the dialogue, to make it more automated. As I understand it, you can also set up a macro which lets you target something, and has you walk to it. So, place a few specially name items in a PA hall, set up some clever macros, and you can macro stage movements.

A few tailors can provide costumes, and image designers can change appearance in the middle of the show.(And there is the nice back alley in the PA to act as a backroom to the stage, where you can change clothes and/or image.)

Throw in the smuggler ability to feign death for faux-battles, and I think there is some serious potential in doing this. (If there was a good 10 or 15 minute show, I would pay a reasonable entry fee of a few thousand credits to the building to watch it, if it was recommended.) Granted it would take a fairly large amount of work to set up right, and a dedicated group of people (hence a PA). It sounds like a great idea for a non-combat based PA to try out though.

Anybody else have any thoughs? (In particular, anybody on my server have any thoughs? )
