Shipping in the Alternity-Verse.... Same-player vs Multi-player

Aliethen asked:

With the cast list coming out, it was revealed that a lot of characters who played opposite each other in storylines were in fact played by the same person. How did you balance that? Was it ever hard?




I felt that deserved its own thread. Discuss!

One of the advantages I had, playing so many characters, was that I got the best of both worlds: I could play against myself, and I could play with others, and so I could reap the advantages of each.

There were times when I was noodling over an interaction between two characters and I played both of them, I would still turn to other players for advice, to read over a draft, etc. As I mentioned before, one of the things I discovered by doing Alternity was how much I enjoy collaborative play.
