I'm going to go ahead and respond to that idea:
Sorry, but that won't be how we run things. Moots will continue to have an opening howl, cracking, songs and tales, and revel that occur at each moot, and PCs or NPCs will play the leadership roles in those sections. Galliards and others are of course welcome to post or play out storytelling sessions between moots or go on hunts/have parties outside the official revel. The latter happens in oneshots and general RP, the former would be a nice thing to see.
Also, PCs are going to continue being allowed to bring whatever story they want to tell (or their player feels like writing) to the moots. Setting a theme or tone is a neat idea and I get what you're going for with it, but it's too limiting.
Galliards (or other PCs) who participate in the songs and tales already get a significant reward for doing so, whether they're the month's Talesinger or not. :] As far as validity outside of moots, it's in the system pages already that Galliards have the biggest role to play in journal-time kudos when it comes to affecting other PCs' renown. Beyond that, it's really up to players to give their characters validity and purpose, and I think Galliards have a lot of freedom in how they achieve that.
I don't mind at all when people add an Expression or Performance role for the opening howl or for telling their stories (flex them stats), but it's really based more on how well they write it and play their character. You can make up for a lot in sheer moxie.
As for C)... let me think about that one. Because the cracking does get 'congested' at times and things overlap depending on when people can post, etc. That may change organically due to IC events, but it's something I want to mull over. But I do think that the Cracking, as much as any other segment of the moot, needs more time. In fact, it's the reason I think the moot needs more time to begin with.
Them's my thoughts! I wanted to make it clear the directions we definitely won't be going but keep the discussion open around things that might work. Also: re-submit your character already!
