@leviuzumaki: Couple different ways. Sometimes a user will start an event for everyone to participate in. Sometimes they are open, sometimes they are continuations of a previous interaction, just depends. There's a "who wants to rpg" thread too. Users will post in there and ask if anyone is up for an interaction. But really anyone can start a story/arc/event. All you need is a premise/plot.
