[OOC] Rebuilding the world

[Vortex]

Tsk tsk tsk you should always know the news.... Go look at The onion.com

Most credible news it is.

[KatherinWinter]

News is depressing. I avoid it at all cost.

[HylianRose]

I'm here. I'm just... stuck in a rut I guess? I'm not getting much to go off of in terms of what others are posting. Not sure if I'm really the right fit for this RP anymore. ^-^;

[KatherinWinter]

Im sad to hear that. I try to leave enough room to be creative, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Some of my ideas work out better then others. This one might be doomed.

[HylianRose]

Leaving room for creativity is great when people are being creative. I see a lot of characters kind of just going off doing whatever. But that's the case in a lot of RPs. I don't know. I'm not a very good GM. Most of my RPs fizzle out.

[KatherinWinter]

Im about 50/50 when it comes to successful rp's

[Vortex]

Any suggestions to make this Rp any better, Hylian?

[HylianRose]

Not really. Like I said, I'm pretty terrible at these sorts of things. Plus, my only issue is the lack of substance in the posts.

1) I'm not particularly a fan of one-liners.
2) They can be short, they just need to... I don't know, have meaning to them? Not just, 'So and so went to the cabin.' I guess more of the character's thoughts and feelings towards certain things? I'm not saying what everyone else is doing is wrong, I'm just saying it's not something I can really RP with very well.

I, personally, think that an important part of an RP is character interaction. You need to give the other characters something to react to. I understand that this is free and therefore standards aren't really a thing and I understood that coming into this. This the only free RP I have joined because I saw potential in it.

[Vortex]

Something to react too eh? Ok... Let me think...

SUMMON CTHULU!!!!!!!

[KatherinWinter]

I agree that it is important to include the characters thoughts and feelings. Getting characters to interact is doubly important. That's part of the reason I was pushing pairings. I thought repopulating the world would force characters to interact. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten solitary characters. Which makes no sense to me. Why would solitary people answer the flyer?

[HylianRose]

Well, that may have been my mistake for choosing Lily for this RP. She's not exactly the 'fall in love' type after what she's been through. So yeah... I may just try to use a different character, if you don't mind. She'll still be female but... maybe more apt to fall in love. Lol.

[KatherinWinter]

Changing characters is definetly possible. Love is optional. I'd settle for sociable ;) that's part of the reason I choose Liz rather one of other characters. Liz is my most social character.

[HylianRose]

When I have a moment, I'll think up a new character and keep the setting in mind. I think our problem is we're playing this as a zombie, omg everyone is going to die setting, when it really isn't.

[CallaLily180]

You're right I think if my character was convinced her baby wouldn't be a mutant then she would be fine.

I've seen zombie RP with interaction and romance but zombies aren't my thing. I usually avoid disaster stuff.

[HylianRose]

I usually do to. But I saw this as a more disaster, have to defend yourself type of thing and that's why I chose Lily. But again, I was wrong. I'm talking to some friends right now, otherwise I'd work on a CS. I'll get it out eventually. Lol.

I also think that talking in the OOC is very important for an RP. The players themselves need to know each other pretty well in order to work together and create a good story together. Also, if you want to write more, my only suggestion is to think about what your character might be feeling? What are they thinking about while they do this thing? What are the seeing? How is it affecting them? That's usually what I think about while I'm writing. Well, I try to anyway.

I also try to keep OOC conversation going when I can, but that's hard when you're the only one talking, yanno?

[CallaLily180]

Yeah I get it.

[KatherinWinter]

I'm a talker. I love and encourage conversations in the ooc. I think it's important for us to get to know each. I'm open to any suggestions and ideas.

[CallaLily180]

Has there been an attack on the warehouse before?

[KatherinWinter]

That is a good question. I'm going to say not yet. After all Liz was defending it all until resently.
