Reply #1: I've seen that done in forums.

Haven't seen it in email form, but makes sense for it to be done that way, too. (Would keep unwanted/uninvited people from jumping in, too.)

Not really a game though. More sort of a group fantasy thing. Unless you incorporate rules and such. (Like, Captain Morgan has Strength of 75%, so he has a 20% chance of forcing open those closed airlock doors.)

Nothing wrong with a group fantasy thing. Basically what goes on in an RPG, only without the rules. But I can also see it being VERY group dependant, for if one person doesn't adhere to everyone elses idea of how the "world" works, their contributions won't make sense.

Game rules help control that sort of thing. Gets everyone more onto the same page.
