[OOC] Fate/esoterica

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: Two Masters and we're good to go! ^_^

[Cu Chulainn]

@Feyblue It's actually a yes and a no for me :^)

[Feyblue]

@Cu ChulainnSo a canon spirit, summoned as a different class? Curious. 0w0

[Cu Chulainn]

@Feyblue More like a Heroic Spirit who has been alluded to in other work but hasn't been made into an actual Servant yet. Like Roland.

[Raineh Daze]

@Feyblue There's no point trying to keep Jack's identity an OOC secret.

Because FFS, who wouldn't work it out when a summoned assassin is a scantily clad child who calls their Master mother? <_<

[Cu Chulainn]

High key tempted to just post Berserker's sheet here since he'll basically be identified upon looking at him.

EDIT:

[Crusader Lord]

@Cu Chulainn It's dangerous to be a Gil-serker in this day and age.

[Raineh Daze]

I have no idea who you might be implicating, so I'd say keep it secret. :T

[Crusader Lord]

@Raineh Daze At least with Jack we can keep her identity and such a secret IC, especially with her "information erasure" bit.

Also, is she open to being hugged? Because i feel that might happen after she is summoned...possibly.

[Raineh Daze]

You'll find out. :P

And yeah, Jack's IC identity is effectively indecipherable unless she starts going around leaving dead bodies for people to find. Information Erasure and looking nothing like you'd expect, woo.

Btw, if anyone's worried about Berserker being hard to control, he actually has a special feature that basically works as a leash for his Master to control him easily ^^

[Crusader Lord]

@Cu Chulainn@Blackstripe@WanderingSpirit I think it is just you three's servants that each don't have a master right now, if i am correct? Still a bit tired, so maybe i missed something, lol. XD

[Rin]

...I really need to get my Master sorted out soon-ish if that's the case since I'll need to be a bit picky with her Servant for reasons. ^^;

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: That's the case unless I'm mistaken.

@Rin: That's something you really need to get done soon given your requirements, yeah. ^^;

I'm between Berserker or Rider for Estelle right now.

So, both of you, fight for the right to be Estelle's Servant.

[Feyblue]

Eeeeee I'm so hyped to finally get this started soon!

I assume we'll be beginning in the usual way? I.E. start at the moment everybody summons their servants/only just a little before they summon their servants and then roll from there?

If so, maybe established Master/Servant pairs should get together and start working on co-op intros for the summons so they're ready when we go IC? It might be a good way to get a feel for our characters right off the bat, with plenty of time to go back and edit if there's something we don't like or aren't satisfied with.

Whaddya think, @Seirei No Hai?

[Raineh Daze]

Fuck co-op intros. TL;DR by default. :/

[VitaVitaAR]

@Feyblue: Not everyone has to start with the summoning. Estelle will have had her Servant summoned already, for example.

I'm generally opposed to co-op posts unless there's no chance of anything else happening before the scene ends.

[Feyblue]

Fuck co-op intros. TL;DR by default. :/

@Raineh Daze

Not to be rude or anything, but it's pretty dismissive of other people's hard work to just disregard what they write out of hand. It also tends to go badly for everyone involved. I would know - I used to just skim other people's posts and ended up not really knowing anything about who I was dealing with or what was going wrong, which caused problems for everybody.

Even reading a full chapter of an average novel these days doesn't usually take more than 15 minutes. Reading a tiny excerpt from one scene of a roleplaying equivalent takes even less time than that. Saying that it's "too long" or that it would "take too much time" is just disrespectful to people who are trying to work with others to create a shared narrative.

[VitaVitaAR]

I do think there's more gentle ways to say you're not a fan of co-op posting, though I do agree that it's not a good idea in most cases.

... That being said if you want to start from summoning, unless you want to do something a bit more... special like what happened to Shirou, I guess there's not that much of an issue.

... In fact, summoning is a big hill in Fate RPs, so if you really want to start there I'd rather you get it done in one shot. ^^;

That being said, if there's any chance of other people being involved in the scene no go on co-op posts.

[Feyblue]

@VitaVitaARFair enough, although that's the assumption I was working under rather than the other way around. I was just kind of assuming that summoning would end up going much less like Stay/Night and much more like /Zero, without crazy blue men in tights trying to stab the summoner in the heart and all that. So, since it's unlikely other masters would be involved in another servant's summoning, I thought a co-op post would be the best way to get it out of the way and settled clearly.
