@Apos Bah, my character concepts are just TOO INTERESTING for you puny plebs to appreciate.

Anyone that takes staff for granted like that generally are the same people that would never ask themselves, "This character concept/plot/RP is fun for me, but is it fun for anyone else to interact with?" I just don't understand. If the person making a character wouldn't want to interact with it, how can they expect anyone else to want to do so in a collaborative storytelling environment?
I disagree with this point somewhat. When I make a concept or come up with a PrP idea my primary focus is on is it going to be fun for me. Then I put the details out there and let folks decide if it is fun for them.
I freely acknowledge no one ever "owes" me RP or participation in a plot in any way. And if a char idea does not pan out I will move on to the next one no harm no foul. However it is on each player to look out for their own fun. This is why I love wiki character pages it lets me get an idea of the character so I can make a (semi-)informed decision on weather RP with that char will be likely to be enjoyable.
I love me collaborative story telling but an essential part of any collaborative process is being able to discern those you will not enjoy working with and in a hobby situation then avoiding them.
Now staff ideally should also patrol concept and plot ideas so that they fit with the game as a whole but that tends to be a rather scattershot proposition. -

I don't think I'd, personally, drag a bunch of people into something and do the MUX equivalent of the old movie classic of, "Hey, guys, let's put on a show!"
This hat I'm eating, it's positively full of crow.
