It is very hard. You think you know your character but at the same time, you focus on other characters as well and try to learn about them from small mannerisms to their slang in their dialogue.
It's more like if you can have the character you're focusing on converse with three other groups of people, or cut away from them entirely, then you've probably done your job because if everyone were to do that during their turn, we'd get an idea of who and what every person on the train is.
I agree, but I suppose we are taking part to see what others do with our characters too. I am looking forward to seeing how someone kills off C (if he is a victim!!) or how they write their own character interacting with him. I suppose, rather than treading on egg shells, it would be more in the spirit of the GAME to go to town with each others creations and have fun (obviously sticking with the Bio's) Or am I way off? On my turn, I'm going to focus on those characters that havent been used much, address the balance, particulary in the first round.
You'll pretty much get two schools of thought on this, for the most part.
You'll get the people who believe we should delve deeper into the plot of the story. You know, as opposed to having a bunch of random occurrances.
Or, you'll get the people who think the characters should be progressed and make them all as three dimensional as possible.
Of course, I'm 99.83% sure that there's no particular way to go about your turn in the game. It's just having fun in any way you want. =)

That's a really very interesting post! I personally have trouble with that sort of thing, (so does my husband) because we are both chameleons. Truthfully I can fit into most any crowd except the "Satan Worshipers" and even them, I'm sure to find the good. Always! So...
If I stick my character in a crowd, they might not be behaving the way other people would see as normal. And, I have to be careful so as to not throw the whole thing off. For instance: I might like to make the Satan Worshiper feel alright (according to standards he recognizes he's got a handicap). Well, that's all fine and dandy in Sandra's world, but hey, come on... it's going to be a stretch without set-up no matter what character you're taking about.
Nicely done, Mr. Blonde. Way to add a dollop of intrigue to our pot boiler. U has a poison pill running around is train. Dirty pool, I like it old man!

Matt, you created some lovely set up there and you did it so neat and sparsely I love it!!! The fact that M couldn't even remember that she still had make-up on her face-- really well done!
