Discuss The Return of God underground [M-SVL]

[demonchild781]

[SIZE=2][CENTER][FONT=Arial Narrow]Ugh...I was hopin to avoid this cuz its so much work to check up on all the time. But you guys have so many questions and my poor little head keeps forgetting crap when I do my posts...so I decided to start one anyways. I answered a few questions directly on the few PMs i got...but figured I would also place the answers here so the others could see it.

First question was something about gems ect. The gems are up to you guys on how they look and where they decide to "stick". They're suppose to inhance ur power/bring it to life. Make sure when you do the post that you mention what soul you have....just to let every one else know and demenstrate a part of your "unlocked" power.

Second question was how far to take the posts. You can have whatever happen in the champer with Lady Karma...but don't over do yourself please. And then afterwards a servant (which will become ur personal servant for the remainer of your time at The Fate Mansion) will show you to your personal room. When every one is done with their gem collecting you may all wander down to the dinning hall for a group dinner which will introduce every one to each other and get the real rpg started.

If you guys have any more questions you can post them here or continue to PM which ever is easiest for you.

Thanks!![/FONT][/CENTER][/SIZE]

[size=1]So the type of gem is our choice?

And also, when you said 'post in the order you were introduced in', does that mean for just this part, or the rest of the RPG as well?

I couldn't ask you these Qs because you weren't on MSN. >>[/size]

[B][COLOR=Purple]O.O:: Okay, I'm jusr completely lost here....when did the gems come in? And when was I intodiced??? I must have missed alot...I've had some things to take care of so I must have missed something..DC if you could just PM me and catch me up I'd be much obliged....O.O;;sorry to sound so...lost. :animeswea [/COLOR] [/B]

[demonchild781]

[FONT=Arial Narrow][CENTER]Just to let every one know cuz I've had this ask a couple times now, you don't have to have a side effect to the unlocking of your soul. That's just something that came along with God of Fate. Of course, you can if you so desire to. And no, we won't be posting in order after u recieve ur gems.[/CENTER][/FONT]

Okay, I have a concern about the posting order thing. This isn't the first time I've done an RPG with a posting order, and every other RPG I've been in with a posting order died for the same reason. The reason: the next person in the order wasn't posting. Maybe the person posted eventually, but with a posting order, it'll be a long time before all of us have posted. I realize we're only doing the order once, but still, it could take a while. And when an RPG slows down, people lose interest.

demonchild781, if you really think we need the posting order (which I don't think we do. Just make sure that everyone's done the soul thing before the RPG moves on), then there should be a time limit. If the person whos turn it is doesn't post within a specified amoun of time (usually it's a given number of days), then that person's skipped, and it's the next person's turn.

Now, I'm not trying to tell you what to do with your RPG. It's just that I've never once seen a posting order work out well, and I don't want to see this RPG die before it even gets going.

[Redemption]

[size=1]Takuya, the posting order is only for this section of the RPG. That's what I asked DC about before. I know that most of the posters here are eager to post, and aren't too miffed about waiting. Three of us have already posted, not leaving too many more.

So just be a little patient Takuya, yeah?[/size]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Yeah, I guess I'm just paranoid. I've seen quite a few RPGs die because of posting orders. And yes, I realize that the posting order is only for this part of the RPG, but I've seen times where an RPG doesn't even make it through a posting order once. But yeah, I'm probably just being paranoid.

[Redemption]

[size=1]Seems like we got past the posting order Takuya. ^^[/size]

[demonchild781]

[SIZE=2][FONT=Arial Narrow][CENTER]Ok, every one. I need you all to catch up and Takuya I need you to get your little thingy-mmbob all set up and what has you with Kairi. I won't be posting until every ones joined in the dinning hall and Lady Karma joins after Valinus write's their post. Then I'll post again. Have Alexia stay mostly quiet ect ect.

THANKS![/CENTER][/FONT][/SIZE]

Um, the whole 'training' thing you mentioned in your last RPG post isn't going to last too long, is it? I don't know how many of us want to spend time writing about training (I know I don't). I say that if you must include training, keep it short (though we could certainly mention more time passing in the RPG). Besides, with the spawn and titans running around, time for training isn't a luxury we'd be likely to have much of.

[SIZE=2][CENTER][FONT=Arial Narrow]Ok...now you're starting to get a little too pushy and this is my rpg and not the first one I've done. If you don't stop trying to tell me how to run my rpg I will be forced to have you leave. Suggestions are fine....and much appericated but you might want to learn how to do them another way. I'm not some 13 yr old you can boss around. If you must know, I've had 3 very successful rpgs lasting well over 12pgs. So, back off, I know what I'm doing and have some patients and do what has been asked of you. Cuz right now Takuya...you're the one holding up the rpg.[/FONT][/CENTER][/SIZE]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

I wasn't aware that I'm holding up the RPG. It was my impression that you'd keep everyone in the dining hall for a while. I've actually got my post in progress right now, though I havn't been able to finish it because of responsibilities at home. I should have it up tonight, tomorrow at the very latest.

Now, I really don't understand what you're complaining about. I haven't been trying to boss you around. I realize you've done RPGs before. I'm just saying that in my experience, if you keep doing things like 'just socialize' sequences or training sequences, people will likely lose interest in the RPG. I've seen it happen many times. I don't know why you think I'm trying to tell you how to run your RPG. I'm just saying what I've seen in the past and giving you suggestions. What you actually do is your choice.

Really, I have no idea why you reacted the way you did. However, you're not the first person who's reacted that way, which makes me think there's something here that I don't understand (and I'm autistic, so that's quite likely). If you can give me any advice, please do so via PM.

[Redemption]

[size=1]Takuya, I think it's in the tone that you write the post. It may not have been intentional, but if other people are receiving the impression that you are trying to push them around, then maybe word your concerns a little differently.

To be honest, I received the same impression that DC got.

As for your post, there was an OOC on the bottom of DC's latest post, instructing you to post.

There are ups and downs to every story - boring and exciting bits. You just have to be patient and plough through the borings bits to get to the exciting ones. As a piece of advice - you can take it or leave it - but I usually do a little character development through the boring bits. It may bore others to read it, but I think it's important that a character develops through a story. I also do that to let people know what my character is like, how he/she is changing, how he/she responds to certain situations, their past, etc.

Anyway, DC told me it won't be too long until we get into the good bits. ^^

[GuyYouMetOnline]

I hope not. And yes, I did see the OOC at the bottom of DC's post. I just didn't think that there was any hurry. But like I said, the post will be up tonight (I'm working on it right now).

Anyways, thanks for the advice. An no, that was not intentional. I didn't mean any rudeness, and I'm sorry if it seemed that I was being rude.

[valinus]

Crap i didnt even see this thread here....guess ill start postin here to sorry everyone.

[Astdis]

note to DC: Faith should appear at your feet by your next post. i described her powers to you earlier so you should be able to work with her easily enough

[GuyYouMetOnline]

demonchild781, I've got a question. Were you going to post Alexia's groups' arrival at the armory, or did you intend to allow anyone to post the arrival? And if it's the latter, what exactly can we expect to find in the armory?

[demonchild781]

[CENTER][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial Narrow]Sorry guys!!! My college holds a annual Yearling Standardbred Sale (young horses) this last weekend I haven't had the chance to much less touch a computer. So I'm hoping that I'll be able to catch up with all the reading I have for this rpg and be able to post before too long so it doesn't die!!! Once again, I'm soooooo sorry!!![/FONT][/SIZE][/CENTER] :animeswea

[Redemption]

[size=1]Dear dear... seems like I'm not the only one who hasn't posted.

Sorry about the absence. My internet at home died a painful death when a nasty tornado-like storm hit about a week ago. It still isn't working yet. So my posts will be jarred. So sorry about this. ^^;

Blame mother Nature, although, I'm sure she'll turn around and bite back.[/size]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Okay, I just wanted to say that I have now recieved Knuckle's Girl's weapon choice, so I edited it into my most recent post in the RPG.
