Is it just me, or do we need some plot-lines to help keep certain threads going.... D< People seem a little discouraged with lack of ideas... And I, personally, am tired of waiting for the story to move along so I can wake.  ; That, and people need to try to develop their own stories and intertwine them with previous suggestions from other posts. Also, paying closer attention to details and hints in others' posts can be inspiring. Be sure to read everything. |

I agree with this. I just don't want to rp with no direction (much) and understanding with other characters, lol.
It would be nice to know if we have ideas for the pairings too (:

Maybe we should ask for a plot board, like somewhere that we could just have a OOC thread for an IC thread to plot in.

I sort of understand what you guys are trying to say, after reading your guys' posts several times (D8). I agree from what I understand, going with the original story that you had in mind when you decided to participate in the RP.....right? o__o
I dunno, you guys go on and I'll try to understand. ;D

I agree... It's hard, though, to move the plot along without God-moding. The larger RP I'm on, I'm a co-DM of sorts, and so I can do stuff that I wouldn't under other circumstances. Chaos Realm is a setting that my IRL friends have used multiple times, so we can define clear adversaries, objectives, obstacles, etc....
Result: Though the RP has stalled a couple times, we've kept on it long enough that it fills almost 350 pages in a Word document.

I agree to this too. The posts recently are kinda empty.  I think we should try to act up our characters more and insert more creativity into what happens. The Free-hand (adventure) section is meant for creative rp-ing, and everyone are free to decide what things their characters do, as long as they don't affect the other characters too much. I guess that wouldn't really be considered god-moding would it...? Correct me if I'm wrong. On another note, I'm planning to make new sections such as Quests and Timeskip (5 years later) for goal-based rping and the latter is for after our characters all develop decent relationships. |

;^.^ Maybe I should have everyone in the thread I started finish up in 1-2 posts each and declare it night over/daytime begun? Think that would start things going?

Ouu... Don't rush the time, though. Some people might be planning something. If you decide that your character is out for the day, just say that you're going to sleep so we can get some other plots going. *wink wink* |

Heh. Sorry... Caine doesn't seem to be doing much at all... and the other characters seem to want to stay away from him, not chat. It's just a little frustrating that not much is happening.

I think you started the rp off pretty good though ;D There was some good slow development.

Thanks! I just hope we can get things out of inn at least. That's what happened with the first online RP my IRL friends tried out... 45 pages, and we were STILL in the bar getting drunk! *headdesk*

Yeah, agreed. I don't like dragging uninteresting scenes either, like those conversation-only posts. >_> Ou and remember that the plot isn't fixed in the adventure threads, so you can make things happen out of nowhere if you want, especially out of the inn. The more creative events the better! |

Hey...Yeah! I've been sort of keeping it plain on How Exciting, ironically.
But now that you've said that...I'm thinking of a future action scene...Maybe. 8)

Ahh .....I'm glad to see that there's an agreement... But yes. Simply because some characters are still awake, does not mean your own characters have to stick around. For example, if you're plotting for something to occur with (a) certain character(s), perhaps PMing them to ask for permission would help advance things without everyone trying to communicate telepathically what it is they want to do. >D I know for instance that Tino is planning something, therefore I've remained asleep .... (omg sleeping is so boring to wait for) BUT it's given me time to try and formulate other possible plots.... Don't forget, things can happen in dreams, too. >DDD |

OU--As a side note: Even if you aren't taking part in all the RPs, while waiting for replies, its a good idea to read the other stories...! Keeping this in mind, when posting, be sure to write a fully formed post to keep the readers entertained, and enable them to follow the storyline easily, without too much confusion about what is happening, plz! <3 |
