So....

Are we continueing?

We still with this one, or we going to be with supernaturals?

If we are quitting, I'll say, "Please don't! Seatus left the forums because of this thread! We must keep it alive...."

If not, let's just finish this up, then move on. and BTW, I think the RP should be invite only, seeing as only me, Quexi, Thin and others are taking this seriously. I mean, Ultimateknightz is a main character, and he barely posts once a week! I'm a underdog, and I post frequently. Honestly, so please. Let's just finish this RP, hope the other RP would be invite only (Hope I'm on the list :P ) and let's do this!

I have an awesome idea for an RP!

Though it was originally supposed to be for a fanfiction I was to post on Spiral Knights. Anyway, here's the story:

~~~
The Pandora Code
This story's about the 'Pandora Code', a code that was invented by a scientist on Cradle. What was the code used for? It was protecting the materials in its box from perhaps, harmful sources. The metallic box that the code and its materials were in was completely indestructable. Nothing could destroy it. So anyway, upon unlocking the code, a program inside the box would state what the Pandora energy could do, and there was a sample of the Pandora energy inside it. The Pandora energy was said to be able to power anything, and that it could be used to manipulate time and space. That in itself was too alluring; many tried to steal it, though they could not crack the code. The scientist, knowing that many would die for the code, split it into many different parts and shot it to different places around Cradle. Soon, the mafia decided to get the code out of the scientist, but he refused. He was killed.

Many centuries later, most forgot about the Pandora Code. They could not harness Pandora's energy; instead they got their contained electricity from the air, or from crystals. Then a rumor was started that some had found a part of the long-lost Pandpra Code document, and had deciphered it, finding a map showing all the places of the other parts of the Pandora Box. This was enough to attract the attention of many different knights. That's where you guys come in.
~~~
This story takes place several hundreds of years after the current Spiral Knights time. It's a mostly science related RP, where you can make weapons for your character. They'll have to have a tinge of realism to them, though. Mine has a whole bunch. I'll show you guys a weapon app I made:

Name of technological device: ALIK-21(Artificial Lightning Insta-Kill :P)
Description: A rocket-launcher looking gun that is of a dull grey, though it occasionally glints in the moonlight for some apparent reason, making it look as if it is silver. On its side is a word in white that says,"ALIK-21". A laser is attached to its top.
Use+Explanation: This weapon creates artificial lighting that travels and is guided along a plasma channel. So basically, the laser will shoot a high intensity laser pulse for a really short duration, and the laser pulse will actually use the air like a lens. The surrounding air focuses the beam, keeping the laser pulse controlled and not scattered. Now, the pulse is extremely strong, and it creates an electromagnetic field around itself that's so powerful it strips electrons from atoms in the air, essentially creating a plasma channel through the air. Since air is composed of neutral particles(that are insulators), and the plasma channel is a really good conductor(unlike the neutral particles in the air), the path of the laser pulse becomes a kind of filament. Now, the high-voltage source is located in the gun's barrel and conducts electricity through the laser pulse, thus creating a concentrated beam of lighting to completely and utterly decimate its target. This all happens within less a second. But when the electricity is fired, it uses all the electricity in the power source and as such you'll need to recharge it if you want to use it again, or put in a new power source that is compatible with the device.

Pretty cool, eh? So basically, each knight is only allowed to carry three technological devices. Armor does not count as a technological device. Basically, the technological device can be anything(a missile launcher, a GPS, etc), as long as it has a logical scientific explanation to it. Of course, it can obviously contain fictional science in it, as long as you have a touch of real science to it. :P You'll also need to describe how it can do what it does in quite some detail.

This way, characters can't be THAT overpowered, now can they? BTW: Currently researching how lasers can be used to destroy a target by powering it to project a high-powered laser beam that could possibly zap through anything, though like the lightning gun, it needs a lot of power.

Should I make it into a fanfiction? Because it doesn't seem like much people are interested in this idea as an RP. :/

SPOILER ALERT:
In the late story about the Pandora Code, you find out that it wasn't the materials in the box that held the information about Pandora's Energy, but it was Pandora's Code itself. ooooohh.

Why not say the Core has released the Operators (the ancient race behind the Core and the Swarm) for mass extermination of the Core essence and Swarm essence, for both would soon tear the planet to shreds in a god-like battle?

Hmmmm

Seeing how inactive these two sites are, I say they should be graveyarded.
Not that I have any say so or authority.

Indeed.

I've been roleplaying on another site. Thanks for abandoning us, guys! o.o

Yeah, I was ready to stop after Thin and Ultima's multi-page argument.

And no offense to you Quexi, but you probably sealed this RP's fate for all of us when you dropped that line, "The secret is.....that Nathan is not our chance of survival from the Master. I am."

A tip for future RP's:
You can't just go about twisting a storyline around your character like that. Which is something Ultima started to do as well before he suddenly disappeared.

Thus,

Farewell,
Au Revoir,
Adieu,
Despedida,
Vale.

Oh god....

Don't try to pin the blame on me, okay? This is everyone's RP. The storyline will lean in favor of the majority's reign. Not one person controls the storyline. That's what I like about roleplays.

It's not my fault Immortous. I just think the thread died out...

EDIT: ALSO, I said survival. Not beating. Surviving. Living. O.O...
EDIT THE EDIT: And don't say tip. I dislike that word. Nor suggestion. Maybe, "I think"
Yeah, I like that...way less....bashful. And don't say should or shouldn't....or can't. Maybe, "Might reconsider"

SO LIKE:
I think for future RPS you might reconsider bending the plot around your character. It alters the storyline already planned, and it could do more harm than good. I hope you take my words to heart and try not to do that please.

I don't think we can pin the blame on any one element, but if I had to choose one, it would be my own lack of participation. I've become very preoccupied with work and Starcraft II, so I haven't given much thought to posting.

Other elements likely lead to the demise of this RP, including Ultimaknightz's and Kaijuhunter's lack of participation, singleplayer posts (i.e. posts that don't require interaction by others), and maybe a general lack of creativity.

Part of what made RtC successful was the remarkably creative story. There was the Skylark's deadly arrival, the mad scientist's weird experiments, the hilariously overpowered characters, the Swarm dragon, Gwen's crazy schemes, and the love stories, all neatly linked together to make an epic storyline. The writing quality of the players was amazing. Despite all the power plays and such, this crazy story had us all hooked for quite some time before it burned out.

Do you all think we should continue this RP, or should we try to start a new one? Or perhaps we could work together on a piece of collaborative fiction? I and Kozse were working on one for a while before I kinda abandoned it due to writer's block.

Hmm

Maybe it's time for a new RP host. Just for the time being, maybe me? I went back and read them to learn more, and I saw Seatus was the one linking it all together into a great storyline, even if it was a little Wonderland-bent. Do you think we could do that again? Not the complicated Wonderland-thingamajig he had going, but some central-point that links everyone together. I could link the lore, if you want?

And that's another thing missing. Lore. Maybe some overpowered roleplay is in order. I think I should start it. We'll see if it can do something we're missing, eh?

You can be RP host if you like. I won't lie and say I don't care, but I don't mind taking a break from that responsibility. Maybe you'll be better at it than I, in which case you can permanently be host. xD

I'm up for a game of overpoweredness. I even have a villain for it in mind already. ;)

Go ahead and make your link-lore-thing. Not sure I even understand what that is, but it sounds cool. :P

Lol

It's what Seatus did with the Core and the Swarm and the Gods, and everything became complicated but it gave the story meaning.

I will set it up right now. Discussion thread before Story ;D

@Quexi

Oh no, I never meant to pin the blame on you Quexi! My apologies if I came across that way.
There were many factors going on here, myself not being excluded from them.
My part would be not having the time to post actively enough and getting a bit frustrated with variables earlier on.
Most all of us had something to do with the discontinuation.
Again, sorry for the misunderstanding!
