First off, pardon my horrible lack of participation thus far. I'd explain why, but I'd just take a long time and make me sound like I'm completely and utterly emo. With that said, I've taken the time to read the entirety of this thread and tried to devise some means of additional input from me, although I will state for the record that everything thus far seems to be running smoothly.
For the first task, I think the best bet would be to group them in a team theme of sorts, like Bardock pointed out, because we don't want some people getting away with just having to stare at an empty forum all day. Say, for instance, that one group manages the In-character forums, checking quests, making sure rules are followed, grading spars, updating the shop, and so forth. The other team could handle the OOC forums, making sure that no one spams, general updates like roster alterations and character vaults, and generally keeping order. That still brings to question of individuals in a group doing less work, but every group will inadvertantly have a weakest link who's not fit to continue.
For the second idea, I really like it, the whole saga deal, but like you guys said, planning just isn't a saga. I liked Cargo's idea about making them design an OOC game, as that's a major part of keeping people active and enjoying themselves outside of Flubbs' IC world. Maybe we could have them design a game and have them play out said game prior to the saga. Furthermore, we could have them design all the rewards, y'know, make up some new techniques, items, kinda like what Trunks (he's Goku now I think) did following the Takeover Saga. He had all those new techniques and items just waiting to be gobbled up by the populace.
The third one seems fine as is, although I'll admit I don't know what 'Overheat' meant in the context Zarbon used it (yup, I'm having a stupid day), but aside from that, it seems like an excellent plan to me. You could also (if anyone liked my idea of having the teams plan out a few custom rewards) have it so they each have to choose only a select number of the rewards they seperately made and decide as a whole. That ties in with the whole aspect of having to work with others to reach a common goal.
Once again, I apologize for taking so long, but I'm good to go now. =) Let's rock and roll.
