I always have this innate fear in me that at any point, you're just going to say:
"This RP isn't working out, I'm afraid it's over."
I can just feel it :c
So I just wondering when we can continue? Everyone is frozen, and I can't REALLY do anything.

You and me both. :'(
Luckily, the plot is pretty straightforward at the moment, and everyone's working together nicely, so we're unlikely to meet any serious challenges to the RP itself anytime soon. I will, however, have to ask that the players get creative, because I can't really create the plot entirely on my own, and I love it when unexpected things happen that move the story in an entirely different direction.
Typically, I'll abandon an RP when the mechanics suck. Finder's Keepers, Trapped!, and probably a couple others were like that. The rest simply died of inactivity, which I'm predicting will happen to this one.
But we'll see.

No.
No, you guys are NOT dying out on me. I command the powers of literature to arise and manipulate the little world we have created, go now, summon action upon itself, permit the rolling waves of words to spill over into the mind's medium!!! Muahahahah- teehee.
EDIT: Thinslayer, if you're willing, me and you could just do a little side story with Dejah exploring around Haven now inhabited with Knights, maybe add somethings to spice up the story later on while we wait :)

xD
If the inactivity starts to get really bad, I can activate my Awesome Game Master Powers to take command of some characters and forcibly move the story along. It's crude, but it gets the job done.
EDIT: done and done. ;)

Argh...
I'd like to post something, But it's A: just too inactive, B: I don't feel the posts converging whatsoever.

@Liminori
I can think of a few good things you could write about.
*Make it clear that Leeroy intends to follow Solomon so that when Edolas decides to make Solomon go outside, Leeroy automatically follows.
*Write about Leeroy's reactions to his orders.
*Have Leeroy ask questions or strike up a conversation with a squad member.

Ooh.
I just had an awesome PVP idea. Onward to suggestions!

Yo thin, mind if I have a sparring match with some random warden?

GARGH!
I had an idea, and then it was taken from me because I had to go see a play*, Although it was good.
*Harvey
And a double edged sword was that someone within the audience pulled my heartstrings more than the person I have a crush on.
That someone I'll probably never see again.

ummm Q
What other gear does he have? I was thinking Azure set, with a Barbarous Thorn Shield, along with.... Idk Valiance or Umbra driver
Sat, 03/08/2014 - 18:05
#418
@Colray
He uses a Combuster, Azure Guardian set, Spiral-crested Heater Shield, and a Nitronome (which he uses like a grenade).

@Colray
Wow, you've really got a good grip of how to make fight scenes. I will be paying close attention in order to learn from you. :3

#420
@Thinslayer
You're giving feedback again! But I don't disagree, that part flowed very well.
@Colray: You flawlessly carried the sense of urgency and immediate action without losing the reader, and excelled at conveying the battle. Though it may ruin the way it works, perhaps you could try emphasizing the thoughts or feelings that the fighters experience.
Sat, 03/08/2014 - 20:27
#421
@Hexlash
Yeah, I'm not the best at fitting in thoughts and feelings, especially during a combat sequence. Thanks for the feedback tho
u too thin :)
Sat, 03/08/2014 - 20:34
#422
P.S.
I don't put in much thought because when fighting with weapons like swords, then you have to learn how to fight instinctively: without much thought.
Sat, 03/08/2014 - 20:40
#423
Wow.
Flawless, Colray, flawless.
I`d like to post something, But I'm A: using a tablet, B: Clueless, although you gave several good ideas.
Part of me wants to just say get on with it, But that'd be rather rude.

#427
I had an idea!
Midnight-Dj, If your last post is indeed in the past, would you mind if we collaborated? So long as it's explainable, And makes sense.
I'd like to try my hand at controlling a third party character.
Since it is your flashback, It wouldn't make sense if it was Leeroy or Sherry, So you'll have to provide the character/characters.

Words of advice m8's:
Lets start running to the next scene after the Almiran is done fighting. (Yes I could go look at her name...too lazy atm) It would be best to have the pacing keep a nice tone right now. Yes its good and slow for character development, but lets rope that slowness up a little and speed up. Staying on the same thing could get us in a loop!

@Darkwatch
Actually, Dejah (I'm not too lazy to look up her name, because I had to use it for the past - oh wait it's 12 am, I should sleep :| Ignore my craziness) has already finished the battle, I was waiting for Thin's reply to it. Though I do apologize for slight powerplay....

Suggestion
Hey you know the squad that is going in with Delta Squad, the one that has rookies? Maybe Iota squad could be there as well, it would get Hexlash and I involved a little in the main storyline. Idk, just a suggestion.
Sun, 03/09/2014 - 06:27
#431
Hmm...
@Colray: It sounds like an okay, and rather simple way to have the characters take part, In fact, Rather common.
"Delta and Xi squads may be Compromised, Requesting backup!" That's what you meant right? (was only an example.)
@Thinslayer: I've been thinking this through for the last year(Ish), So I've came to a (decent) conclusion. Since there have not been as many RPs as grand as RtC, It just feels wrong to have such a... Great work left unfinished.
It was your first RP, If I remember rightly. Because of it, Everyone was able to learn from it. I liked the style of the RP, although the content... Too many Powerplays and Badly written script/story, or just terrible RPer's in general. (including me)
So, I think that eventually, It should either be continued, Or Restarted.
Whether we can do this sucessfully depends on our community.
We also have 12 Pages in total now.
Sun, 03/09/2014 - 06:48
#432
Hexlash: Thank you. My lazyness kills me a lot of the time :L Anyway I will let Thin handle that part as for the Powerplaying bit.
Colray: For the sake of conveniance that would work, but for the story I feel myself, I must part with Liminori. Just because we can, does not mean we should. Some times its best to give characters off screen time if that makes since. This gives us a nice break from one side and lets us look at another. So to be honest, I feel like we should give some character's off Screen time. Or you could end up like me, having to wait for ever and a say to make a post on the Main character I am playing as :P

Been a few days.
Still have Writers Block on what to do with Solomon.
Gah >.<
¬.¬ I prefer RPing with Antags or Creatures.

Agh...
This will be difficult now, I've just released a Dark Souls + Spiral Knights crossover RP.

#435
@Luminori
Yeah something like that...
EDIT @Darkwatck: well yeah but my character had had little screentime to begin with, and if we do it the way Luminori said it, then they don't come in till later.

Bump...
Edit: BUMP! I know you said that you won't let this RP die, But It does not feel that way.
Mon, 03/10/2014 - 16:36
#439
Edolas?
It's Edolas' turn, and he's got writer's block. I can't move on without him; he's critical to the plot.
Mon, 03/10/2014 - 16:45
#440
Ah.
Right, right. I'll just curl back into a ball and wait for one of the RP's to progress.
Mon, 03/10/2014 - 18:37
#441
Don't let it die...
Edolas, I gave you a place to start from, maybe work from there?

@Thinslayer
:P James was speaking to Solomon, Sorry if that wasn't too clear...
Mon, 03/10/2014 - 21:31
#443
@Colray
I'm a FREAKING WINNER. I saw your post before you edited it, MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!! You went from pointing it out, to apologizing!!!
Okay, sorry, I believe I've ingested a higher amount of craziness than would be optimal.
But to be honest yeah, at first I thought he was talking to Dejah, until I took another read at it to confirm =P
Mon, 03/10/2014 - 21:59
#444
o.o
Anyways, just to clear any other confusion:
James noticed the Delta squad watching them, and glanced at Dejah. James assumed that this was why they were watching and decided to introduce himself to the leader, Solomon,
Tue, 03/11/2014 - 10:58
#445
I'll post now for the sake of story continuation,
But dont expect miraculous, creative genius.
Still trying to re-connect with Solomon's character.
Tue, 03/11/2014 - 11:00
#446
@Edolas
It's okay. I'm not always struck with creative genius on my posts either. Just write whatever Solomon would do in that situation; that's all I ask for. ;)
Tue, 03/11/2014 - 15:41
#447
ok now I'm confused
On an entirely different topic, will Dejah replace the man short on Iota squad, or will James be assigned to Dejah?
James is Iota Squad leader,
Germaine is Lambda Squad leader,
James is asking Solomon his name, not Germaine...
Sorry if I'm coming across bossy, I'm just confuzzled
Tue, 03/11/2014 - 16:20
#448
@Colray
It's okay.
Dejah is replacing the non-existent man on Iota Squad.
James is Iota Squad Leader.
Germaine is Lambda Squad Leader.
James is asking for Solomon's name. He is not asking for Germain's name.
Clarified? :)

Wait... whaaaaa? So no Eva-Dej bonding time?

@Hexlash
Oh, don't worry, they'll have plenty of time to bond when they're out camping in the wilderness. >:)
That sounds like a really good idea. Let's roll with that. ;)
