Put the bottle down, mate.

So who didn't post yet ?!

@Spriggs27
Who do you think? XD (Hint: he's an orc and isn't Orgus)

I know I know. I'm finally on my way back from my holiday so once I get home I should be able to work on a post of some sort.

Posted. Short and snappy but it needed to be done.

Also, happy New Year, guys! Hope all's going well.

Okay, for the record, here's what I want from the game, and what I failed in with Alexander:

- I want a network of friends and allies working towards a common goal.
- I want mutual advancement, aka the network and Alexander increasing their in-universe status.
- I want to not alienate good and sympathetic people. This is where I failed in the most.

I'm not asking for guaranteed rewards. I know full well that you have to actively try and get what you want in the Re: Zero universe; fate will not just grant it to you even if you work hard otherwise.

What I'm asking is...how do I get what I want from other people IC? How do I do diplomacy, combat, and other means of getting my way (again, IC)? How do I exploit this universe to gain my way while warding off its attempt to exploit Alexander?

To put it simply: you can't.

Slight elaboration: don't be a try hard.

A more grander explanation: you need to stop forcing Alexander onto others like an aggressive salesperson. That kind of tactic only really works with people who are already desperate for interaction and I'd like to think we're doing quite well on that department.

I don't know if you realize this, but it feels a lot like you're trying to put yourself at the center stage. All this stuff you want to happen, you want Alexander to accomplish and everyone else is suppose to help you. It's rather off putting to play second banana ya know?

I don't want to talk about myself but since it may come up I would say that what I'm doing with Malakaus is different from what Alexander is doing. While admittedly he has minor nobility to give his words weight, he's not forcing his quest onto others. He seeks worthy or interested individuals and, without trying to make things more dramatic or make himself more grandiose than he isn't, asked them if they're interested in his quest.

And to be fair you're coming on rather strong with the whole "let's return to our real world" sticht. Yes there are other worlders here and they may be confused and want to go home. But trying to open up with "Hello I'm from another world can you help me get back" makes Alexander sound like a crazy beggar. Another thing: just because most everyone who's an otherworlder is probs Japanese, there's nothing wrong with using Japanese terms. Sure it's not of this world, but at worse it's just foreign. Which isn't even that bad aside from certain characters who may be racists or xenophobic, which there may be.

Tl;dr: don't be a weirdo. Just go get a job with the Iron Bell Knights and work on getting back to your original world as a sort of personal project.

All right, that works.

@Letter Bee
The answer to that question is pretty obvious, just be awesome hahaha ^^

Also, be patient, one does not simply gather allies in one day :3 , allies gather when one is least expecting them, jus sayin :X ~

@Noodles dude I gathered an Archbishop and a 'hero' in like an hour IC time.

@Noodles@Zelosse
I gathered a dragon, elf, meat shield and orc in no time at all in the roleplay :D Let alone the dog boy, another orc and a few other humans as allies or at least acquaintances before lunch IC today XD Also a being of pure and utter perfection in Heinrich! Top that!
I think Vesta/Avery is winning the 'ally gathering' battle here XD
@Letter Bee@Lucius Cypher
What Lucius said basically. I mean Vesta has an inflated sense of self-importance yet she isn't going to force her ideals on anyone No she'll just crush you with a boulder if you don't do as she says
(Sidenote: Vesta doesn't mind playing second fiddle so long as she thinks you can do the job. If she doesn't think you're capable than she'll take over)

Also Lucius, small little detail in your post here which I think I should bring to your attention >.>

hopefully painful enough for Vesta to release her grips on Vesta and allow Malakaus to remove the pest for her body.

.....
Just let it sink in for a moment. Read it over twice if you need to XD

Thanks!

Also, are you acquainted with Digimon, Pokemon, and/or Shin Megami Tensei?

@Lunarlors34

Whelp, ''tis what I get for writing a post after getting off a ten hour flight. I fixed the mistakes.

@Letter Bee
I'm familiar with Pokemon. Aka the superior monster game :D
@Lucius Cypher
The only mistake which I think had issues was the 'Vesta's hold on Vesta' part. Anything else is sort give and take with roleplays. Small errors which I honestly would like to say I don't care about but do but keep silent anyway XD

What can I say, I was thinking of Vesta the entire time.

Digimon's the superior Anime and Shin Megami Tensei had two games released only in Japan that came before Pokemon.

Here's the RP I made for all three fandoms, btw.

@Letter Bee
Pokemon is love, pokemon is life. Fight me!
(Eh the anime is ok. The dub is great though XD My god...brock's early lines XD. Greatest dub ever, and I hate dub. I honestly could care less about the anime as I don't watch it. Though gamewise it kicks the shit out of any other monster game :D)

All right; so, you won't join my RP, then?

Also, Discord's not something you like?

@Letter Bee
No. Not a huge fan of crossovers to be honest.
Also what's with your obsession with discord? We've got the OOC here and private messages as well. I use my laptop 9/10 ten times so an app for the phone is useless to me.

Ah, well, it's instant, meaning that a conversation isn't several minutes per part.

And Discord can be used on the laptop as well.

But, yeah, not everyone is as impatient as me.
