Okay, so I'm confused now. I haven't posted in a bit because I wasn't sure where we were supposed to be (like Donsro, I thought we were splitting up and going to our positions, not all going to get disguises for the few). Now that that's cleared up, though, what the heck am I supposed to be doing after this outpost scenario is over? I tried to ask in the story thread a week or two ago to make it in-character but I never got a reply.
So, do I have this correct: There is a small group that will sneak in and open the west gate, and another party will enter through there, and there is another group that is directly hitting the north gate? Does that cover everyone?
I am planning it and I am still in the church. So if you are talking to me you kinda should be in the church too.
Love the frequencies of the responses but you guys gotta give me a chance to reply, looks like im in 8 different conversations at the same time. I can't keep up with everyone.
Thanks, Elfen. Didn't mean to sound complaintative- if I did, sorry I was able to figure it out after reading the other replies better.
Okay, scyberdragon, I have a bone to pick with you!
When you are typing a line where someone is talking, make it a new paragraph. This is not how it's always done, but it is a good rule of thumb and makes it a lot easier to read. Please. For all of all good, do it
That is an interesting idea. I think I might partake of the color-coordination madness. It makes it easier to see who's who in a wall of text. I'm going to use Royal Blue.
Yeah... I thought that was kind of funny in a sad way, actually. For ten posts, everyone was like "Jamis is bleeding to death on the ground over there, but hey look, a fire!"
Well, there are some people tending to Jamis and Buliwyf (sorry if I didn't spell that right), and I think one or both of them are in a medical tent or something. But yeah, the rest of us are just trying to play out bits of our characters facts and personalties from the Character thread while we're waiting. I guess that's kind of a good thing, though- like in the opening of a story when all the characters are slowly being introduced. Bleh, I don't know
A lot of us, including me, are mostly just chilling by the fire and reminiscing. Is there anything in particular we should be doing to encourage the story to continue, or is that fine?
Yeah... Just to throw this out there, maybe someone could try a few things out and contact them privately to see if they like it or something. There would just need to be a little more information on destinations and places.
You know what would be handy? A general map of the area we are going to travel in. I know you two are working hard at this right now, but I feel like that would help cement places in our memories.
Actually, this is supposed to be in Sanctuary, correct, since we're limited to Diablo characters? Where is it supposed to be, exactly?
I think the real issue here is that there is just a ton of people in this RP. Just my opinion. It seems to make it difficult for people to all focus mainly on one aspect and then it snowballs.
The information he keeps repeating over and over again, that we're on a battle field (as typed in the OP of the story thread, the Field of Phillipassus) shows that we are not in a village of any kind, so there should be no need for anyone to see or kill children (it's outside both of the towns), see buildings anywhere in close proximity (it's a field), or any other oddity that does not belong.
Also, he and Elfen are the workers of this RP which you signed up for, and as such, they have the ability and privilege to pretty much do whatever they want within the RP.
Moreover, I'm not seeing what you're talking about with you not being allowed to post the same as everyone else or somesuch. After the rule was laid down here:
Quote from Elfen Lied »
After some review we have decided to impose a slight restriction.
Each person can only post up to 3 times per day.
While the level of activity is greatly welcomed, the amount of posts from each player is leading to complications with progression. In other words, its getting too hard to understand what is going on. It is starting to go off in several tangents, and this is causing problems.
So in order to remedy this, we will be imposing this rule.
It was not contradicted again in any of the following posts of the OOC thread to the nature you are describing, or at least the nature I'm reading in to here.
But when it does get confusing I prefer not to post until I understand what is going on clearly to not make it even more confusing.
Yes, that was the issue I was facing. What helped was just going back the the basics and understanding the very minimalistic list of things going on at the time and only commenting on those. People have been adding a lot of extra fluff and its starting to blur everything, something that seems fairly hard with as many people as are involved, not to say that it is impossible.
This whole system worked fine in Elfen Lied's older RP's, and I don't see why it isn't working now, except that we have a lot more participators all posting immediately after one another while what's really going on with the story is fading in to the background.
I'm not the RP leader, but that is my input and advice.

Um... Where are you getting this from? :confused:
