First, while I agree that there is no need to "play out" mundane things, I think that michael_noah is correct that a trip into town by itself could prove "interesting."
Second, to respond to TiCaudata's query, sblocks would probably work best. I can't PM because I don't give the site any money. Group emails are a possibility, though I think I'd rather keep things here. That way they are all together, and there is no need for us to save emails, as the content is saved here. (Unless, of course, there is another crash... That's one reason why I don't give the site any money.)
Here is what I propose:
For those of you that are going to town, make a post in the IC thread in an sblock stating what you are doing. I'll respond as needed to smooth out any "interesting" things that might happen. We can work this through in a manner only as detailed as necessary.
E.g. You make a post saying something generic about how you want to go to X and get Y and perhaps other things important to that, such as whether you are being sneaky or trying to look nonchalant, etc. I'll respond either generically that you do/don't find Y, and maybe I'll note that something "interesting" happened with which you need to deal.
Make sense?
For those of you staying behind, feel free to roleplay among yourselves in the meantime (in fact I highly encourage it). In this case, I'll leave it to your personal discretion whether you want to use sblocks for such conversation, depending upon whether you want the others to "eavesdrop."
Does this work for all of you?
