[OOC] The Faraway Land: Monsters of Fellmore (18+)

[Delta44]

@Thinslayer I mean I can work with mine since you know I can do wonders with freedoms and won't get dragged away, I just gotta do it :3

[Darkwatck01]

Hmm not quite what I has hinting at. Anyway, GL HF with the idea.

@Darkwatck01

I don't get hints very well. Mind telling me straight-up? :3

[Thinslayer]

I'm not dead yet. The new 0th post should help us keep track of who the characters are and what they look like. It was one of the things royally slowing me down. With my new 4-day 10-hour shifts, I have less free time on weekdays and more free time on weekends, which considerably slows down my posting rate. Combined with the difficulty of remembering who is who and what they're doing, it's becoming increasingly difficult to post. So the new 0th post should help with that. I may also post a regular summary up there to help me (and others) remember what everyone was doing.

Sorry for the long wait, guys. I don't want to be one of those GMs who abandons an RP he created, let alone corralled other people into. e_e

[Thinslayer]

Also toying around with fantasy maps on Inkarnate. They're surprisingly hard to make. I'll see if I can post a draft of the current world map some time today or tomorrow.

[Darkwatck01]

Nice, at least we know your still around, as for the others I can't say.

[Thinslayer]

I wouldn't blame them for dropping it. It has definitely been a long time since we last had a story post. I've been toying with creating a more traditional reboot of The Faraway Land, so if this RP goes down the drain, there will be more opportunities for traditional fantasy shenanigans. :P

@Thinslayer

I vote for this course of action.

[Delta44]

I don't particularly mind being a giant monstrosity of healing, personally ^-^ But yeah I'm here :3

I'm still here and ready to post(at least soon enough)!

[Darkwatck01]

Bump (Checking if dead or not.)

[Thinslayer]

Bumpity bump bump, look at Frosty go!

I haven't slept properly in weeks, and it's destroying my ability to write. Plus, I've found that I REALLY hate rewriting posts. Once something is written, it's incredibly awkward to rewrite it. I'm considering a timeskip. Who's up for it?

@rush99999

That doesn't sound good. I'd better get on top of things this weekend.

@Thinslayer

You can't delete posts on this site, so that's the closest I could get to doing so. It's not hiding anything rude, it's simply indicating that the post has been deleted.

[Delta44]

@Thinslayer Hey no worries man :3 A timeskip sounds alright to me! Need any help writing the post? ^-^

@Delta44

Thanks, man. I think if we skip to after the battle ends, I can start writing again. The point of this battle was to display the brutality of the orcs and the desperation of the opposition, and I think the point got across. But I could use a little advice: Should I start off with everyone still in town, immediately after the battle, or some time after, during the march against the Alliance?

[rush99999]

I'd go with option A.

[Delta44]

@Thinslayer I suppose it really depends on how much you want to write :D If you're willing to do a fair amount of writing, option A is the clear one, and it provides a lot of player-driven interaction. This will hold especially true to any reprimands being made by our Orc Captain, and could perhaps set the stage for either future conflicts or personal affairs.

Option B will allow everyone to wrap up the battles their own way, but will still more or less be the same as option A. It may indeed require more work on your part since everyone will be making a post to respond directly to, as opposed to everyone being in a potential group :3 It's good if you're looking for a challenge or are dedicated, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The third option is the easiest, and can easily be the best if done well c: You can get across the brutality of the raid, the soldiers who disobeyed direct orders, and advancing plot points all in one go. It's the easiest to write and is personally my preference ^-^ It'll also allow for a little bit of freedom from characters to decide what they did and will do, though it could be the longest of the three depending on how you write it!

TL;DR: Personally I'd go with some time after, but each has its own pros and cons ;)
