I'd definitely be up for a round! I've wanted to try collaborative writing for a while, but never found enough people (i.e. more than just me) to work with...

I am also glad that the suggestion includes both a sense of keeping order, as well as introducing a valid challenge...

The challenge comes in incorporating those conditions. (For instance, one condition might be 'New Character - Angry Chef' or 'New Location - Denver Junkyard', or alternatively 'Subtract 1 Character'). I've been brainstorming a number of ideas to regulate and keep the storyboarding interesting, including creating a randomizer in Smash for the conditions.
