[OOC] Fate/Crimson Dusk

[vancexentan]

Alright I didn't see anything wrong with Parallel's post who wanted me to check on it. I'd reply with Leon but I'm not sure it would be wise to overlap my post with people who are still in the middle of their summoning.

[vancexentan]

Alright so who are we waiting for on the last of the summons? Its been two days since the last post.

[King Cosmos]

@vancexentan We've seen Saber, Lancer, Archer and Berserker. Assassin I believe is being summoned elsewhere, so we're just waiting on Caster and Rider.

[Parallel Hearts]

Technically, Caster and Rider are already summoned as well. What I think is that everyone just wants to some sort of development before posting again since there's not much that happened other than the rituals. We may as well at least move forward a bit to allow more replies to come.

[vancexentan]

Alright I suppose ill reply

[vancexentan]

Everyones doing a good job with their character s so far.

[Parallel Hearts]

I imagine that now that everyone is accounted for we can move forward to the main stage, right? Any conversation about plans that needs to/may be done, can be done either on the way to the War Grounds or after we arrive there, it would be much more practical this way, I believe so.

[vancexentan]

Ill post later

[Parallel Hearts]

Well, seems like we lost most of the initial steam, huh?

I wonder if we'll even move forward enough to accomplish anything. But, in case we don't, I do have a suggestion for the next time you try to run anything like this: Not delaying the parts of the game that everyone is truly interested into.

We are at this for about two weeks and haven't seen a sliver of action so, condensing the intro section would probably make the story pick up momentum faster, flow better, and (potentially) truly snag everyone's attention enough that they will want to do their best.

I'm not saying this out of animosity, mind you. But seeing your background with this specific idea, it should be accurate to say that the best show in the world is still nothing if it can't secure an audience to indulge in it.

And, in case we do move forward enough to reach any significant conclusion, disregard what I just mentioned above.

[vancexentan]

My intention for the slow start is to throw out all the base for what the rp is. Setting it in London initially is just to have a neutral meeting place, and give me as a gm the ability to set up replacements for anyone who drops out early. And this segment at the church is going to end soon enough. Its only here to have anyone to set up shop before moving onto the first segment. I intend to split the party into two servants each per party sent out, and move everyone into combat against different aspects of the Grey family forces. The others took issue with my initial idea of a mook ambush because of their invisibility so I'm circumventing it by making it much more stream lined. Combat will come soon enough if people actually post.

If people have lost interest for whatever reason there is not much else I can do. Most rp's die regardless of how quick combat happens.

[Parallel Hearts]

I see.

Well, I suppose there's only so much that can be done. So let's see what happens.

[ItMeGritty]

I'm actually not finding this too bad. Atalanta and Bellerophon should be bros for life.

[vancexentan]

Well I'm glad at least someone is enjoying the slow open.

[Parallel Hearts]

Well, I'll have a reply out soon-ish. Before that, let me ask:

@vancexentan Did Atalanta notice anything worthy of note from up there?

I'm imagining a city in the middle of the country side in the way you described would have an average height radio mast/tower (something in the ball park of 1000 ft/300 meters), but if the place is very hilly or has many high obstructions nearby, a tower like this can easily reach double this height.

Just to give you some manner of comparison, this should allow Atalanta to sense (not only by sight, but also smell, and hearing, depending on the source of the stimulus) things within a couple dozen kilometers or so (since the horizon at the lowest standard height is more than 50 kilometers away).

This should be at last enough for her to notice the forest, if not the whole territory of the enemy, I think. But ultimately, you say it.

Either way,

I'm actually not finding this too bad. Atalanta and Bellerophon should be bros for life.

@ItMeGritty

That last post makes me want to complicate Bel's life. By placing him at an unwanted love triangle with Hifumi pinning for him (maybe thinking about abusing her CSs to make he love her in return), and Atalanta unaware that this whole debacle is even happening.

That would certainly be interesting.

[ItMeGritty]

funny but wouldn't he have to beat her in a footrace first? :P

[vancexentan]

Its a by the books small town rural with a smallish modernized city district not very hilly and the forest is down the road far enough unto the country side. Its also hidden by spells because magic forests but by the time we get down the road and use magic to counter it will be time for encounters.

[vancexentan]

I'll wait for Gritty to reply. I don't want to cut off anything for him on his end.

[Flood]

Assassin busts in with style and pizzazz, beginning the tale of the King of Thieves.

[ItMeGritty]

Alright enough chitchat

Let's get to the fightin

[Parallel Hearts]

I guess that I'll wait to reply after that as well, then.
