I'm out too. Even if this rp continues it still will not go anywhere. I really want to continue with this character but there is just nothing to write about.

In my opinion, I think now would be a good time to introduce any new characters. After all, we are going to need as many people as possible for this attack. If 3 or more go to the west, that only leaves a few for the main attack.

Well, I changed it. I know this is proper literary style but I don't like starting a new paragraph every time I use dialogue. A lot of times there will be a thought in the middle of a sentence, I cant break that up. Or sometimes dialogue, quick commentary and then more dialogue. Now it reads kind of oddly. but if everyone else thinks it is easier to read...

"If you want to stay and help, fine, but I am going to teach those Riddians a lesson! Hyaaah!!"
He/she snaps the reins and rides off into the forest, a blood lust of rage filled revenge in his/her eyes.
Then where to? the woods is a big area, if the riddians are even in there.. I think we need to wait for jetrall or elfen to move us back into combat. our last lead was to help the people, so.. we are helping the people.

Of course Jetrall, I understand fully. Once again, I am new at this and have had a lot of learning experience in this first week. Thank you for your patience with me. I did try to finish up my last post by saying "but now that i know that this is what i am looking for to progress I can start looking for clues left behind by Jamis and Buliwyf" I agree the mystery behind the story is a lot of fun. I am doing my best to try to be creative yet pertain to the story and a lot of times my imagination gets the best of me. I have a hard time following structure and I am trying my best. Once again, thanks to you and elfen for all the hard work you have put into this. With this first week about over I think myself and others have learned a great deal on how this works and I hope the rest can go better and smoother.
Also, My character is supposed to be somewhat of a comedic relief. I am trying to balance realism yet make my character funny for the other characters. If I am going too far or it is getting annoying please let me know.

As far as letting Jamis lay there to die. This is what I am talking about when I say I don't know the limits of my character and more importantly the story and there needs to be more information given.
Quote from "Jetrall" »
Yeah. I find it odd that my character had to finally say "if someone will take me to the medical tent..."
The idea was that to get the story moving I needed to talk to Buliwyf (as evidenced by my "where is Buliwyf?" line lol). All's well now though.
Sure, jetrall knows that this line is a set up to help progress the story but none of us know this. It is sort of like talking to my brother. He has all these ideas in his head but he has a hard time getting his thoughts out and across and you never know what he is talking about. I think this is what is happening here. Just a communication problem.
before setting off a bit more cautiously to check on their leader.
When she finally reached him, she bent down without saying a word and inspected the wound, looking for any traces of toxins. After a quick minute of looking around the opened wound, she saw no trace of poison. She looked up at Jamis, and said "Looks like his spear was not laced with any poisons, luckily for you. You should be fine". She shuffled so that she faced the brown haired man, "So then, tell me again, why exactly are we fighting this war for the Tappas?" she asked.
" yes, why indeed" he said with an odd smirk on his face.
As Warick stared at the wounded brother he saw that he began to speek and move a bit. Quickly Warick got up and ran to his comerades side. "Here, brother. Drink." Warick commanded as he held the cantene out towards Jamis.
"Lento has taken him to the medical tent. He didn't seem too happy to be going there either",
"Jamis, your brother is fine. He is in the medical tent. He does look rather angry though."
all of these lines were said while Jamis was lying on the ground and yet there was no response or none saying to take him to Buliwyf. This is what I meant earlier by more flexibilty,creativity, and information. None of the rest of us have any idea what we are supposed to do. With all of these lines said at anytime the phrase "take me to him" could have been mentioned, instead of waiting for someone to say "let me take you to him". since Jetrall and Elfen are the leaders I think they need to be more straight forward with the progression of the story rather than leaving 1 line as a clue Otherwise none of us will know what is ok to do to help progress the story and what is not ok. I was half way waiting forthe army to come back to life and we would have to fight them again as zombies but I couldnt say "look over there they are coming back to life" ans in that way i was afraid to say "here jamis, lets get you up and looked at over here in this tent with your brother." I am afraid to try to progress the story because I don't know what the story is. but now that i know that this is what i am looking for to progress I can start looking for clues left behind by Jamis and Buliwyf

I must apologize. I feel I am most responsible for the confusion. I will do my best to avoid "fluff" and pertain to the story given to us so far. Once again, I am new to this rp concept and over estimated the freedom I had. Sorry for not realizing it sooner.
Also, sorry for the back and forth confusion on the subject but my brother "eldermoon" was wondering if he is still in the rp since his character and thread are still up?

I saw no rule saying if the moderators only post so many than we can only post so many. As long as we only post three times a day we are within the rules and on a general basis so far, jetrall and elfen have not posted three times a day.

I have edited eldermoon's on his behalf to reflect a young unprepared soldier compared to the boy previously mentioned.
I do not meant this in any disrespect to jetrall of elfen but some extra clarity in your posts would be greatly appreciated since you guys are the ones leading the way. We can not be expected to participate fairly if our ideas are incorrect to the story even though this information is not told to us.
Of course, we could easily say have patience and wait for the information but 1.)these were mini details added in some posts as "extra" dialogue that contradict the story and 2.)we are allowed to post more than the moderators and we can not be expected to know what we do not know.
I am still very excited for this rp but some flexibilty, creativity, and information are needed.

Scyber, right now you are putting quantity over quality of your posts
I am not putting quantity over quality, I am simply wondering if having idle chit chat is discouraged. In my opinion, the most fun part of the rp I had yesterday was the pointless banter back and forth with the other people. Limiting our posts discourages this type of interaction and if this is true that is fine, I just did not know that.
I think 3 posts a day is more than fair, personally I would have suggested the 3 posts per week only, kind of thing. This is because we don't need to make 5 posts a day of 1 line each. We could simply wait for somethings to happen (aka, wait until most of the other people post), THEN you will have a bit more to work on in your posts, and be able to make them more lengthy, descriptive and more pleasurable to read. Please remember, there are over 10 other characters in this RP, so lets say you let everyone post once before you post again, then you have 10 other people to include in what you're doing, plus yourself.
once again I am unaware that the posts made were supposed to be lengthy. In thinking of role playing, to me, there is nothing wrong with short banter back and forth from one another. In fact in my opinion, lengthy posts make it harder to involve multiple people at once. I cant ask a question to somebody and continue writing without their response. nor can I ask a group of people to do something and then continue writing as if they all agreed. I did enjoy writing my first post which was longer than most of the rest of my post but I do not feel this is how every post should be. If I am wrong in this assumption please correct me, I just feel it is appropriate to have multiple short posts.
As for how far we're progressing, it has only been a day, and most people here (contrary to common belief) do have lives, such as the aforementioned Jetrall and Elfen Lied. They may not be able to be active enough to post so many times a day to keep up with what everyone else here has been doing. They've made only 2 posts each so far, and everyone else ahs made at least 1 (or most of us, anyways?) with several members going off on their own tangents with more posts than that. Like Jetrall said, being active is good and refreshing to see, you can't push this thing,
I did not say we need to move this story along. My confusion was with the fact that jetrall said we were moving too quickly when I didn't feel we had moved the story at all. At the beginning there was a battle that was already done and jamis and buliwyf were both injured. As of right ow the same is still true, so how have we progressed too much. All of the posts that have been done so far have just been filler of the same situation. If I had not posted yesterday, today or even tomorrow, the same situation would still be before me to write about. are we just not allowed to go scavenge the dead bodies while we wait? or make a camp fire for us to sit at?
I dont understand what we are allowed and not allowed to do. Do I have to conform all of my actions based off of what jetrall and elfen are writing. I know we are not allowed to be like "Kifu left the group and went back to the jungles" but I thought we were allowed to interact with what was given to us. I will also stop my idle chit chat and make fewer and more substantial posts if that is what is expected of us. I just thought we were allowed to do such things as ask another person a question/ wait for their response/ act upon the answer. However, if i do that it will use up all three of my posts.
Sorry if i am sounding like a noob but i thought I understood what to do only to be told that it was incorrect.
P.S.
and most people here (contrary to common belief) do have lives, such as the aforementioned Jetrall and Elfen Lied
I assume you mean that I don't and I find that very offensive. Not only do I work full-time I am also going to college and doubling up on my classes to finish two years early. I am also married and spend most of my free time with her. However, I still find five minutes every now and then to participate. I am not saying this is what other should be doing. I am just explaining my own situation. YES, I too have a life.

The Story Thread has been temporarily locked pending a new decision about the game! It has been noted that some of you, in your passionate dedication (which, believe me, we do appreciate) are getting a bit ahead of the others (including myself! lol). We are considering implementing a cap on the number of entries per day per person so as to keep the RP flowing at a reasonable pace that will give all the players enough time to react to situations and conversations happening without being left behind.
I am a bit confused. ?
A lot of us were very eager to start this rp and pounced on it once it opened. Starting off was hard, for me at least, because of the lack of description from the first two threads. The only thing I could figure out from the initial posts was that the knights were at the fields of phillipassus in the middle of a feud between ridia and tappas. The battle was pratically over and jamis and buliwyf were both injured. elfen's thread even initially ened with a statement to leave the next thread open for jetrall which was soon over looed and deleted. In my opinion this did not leave much room for others to participate. The majority of us played it as picking off the few remaining fighters and then coming to jamis' side to figure out what was going on. This lasted all day with no new information to help further things along. Then most of us wasted time doing pointless things in the area while we awaited new info. And now we are being told we progressed too much? None of the other members even did anything of any significance other than kill one or two soldiers and then sit idley by. I got on today to see the story has not really furthered anymore other than buliwyf going to a priest/doctor somewhere and ending with no new information.
I understand this rp is not supposed to move fast but I feel it hasn't moved at all. Like I have said before, I am new to this concept and am not fully sure of how things go but I don't feel the stroy has progressed at all from the initial posts other than idle busy work. Could someone please explain to me what went to far for the stroy or what the story is, at least up until now. The only person I saw who was left behind who did post was Jethera who commented on missing the action even though the battle was pretty much over from the first post. Anybody else who has not posted is not far behind. they can still come to the area we are all in and find the same defeated battle ground we all walked in to.
As far as limiting us to thress posts a day, I do not like it. I could understand if the posts so far done have taken the story anywhere but all of the posts did not. The original post mentioned a battle between two groups that was almost over and that is where the story remains. Limiting us to three posts will only discourage me from making any posts. I am afraid to use up my posts for the day only to have more of the story revealed afterwards with me unable to participate. I really enjoyed the idle conversations that were going on while we waited for more story but I will not continue this if we are limited.
Please help me understand what is going on?

I hope I'm not too late. My brother, Scyberdragon, told me about this rp today and I definitely want to join. I will create my character tonight and start participating. If I am too late let me know and I will stop posting.
