[OOC] Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

[Lugia]

I was thinking of making him an ex-bandit. I haven't worked out a lot of the details yet, though.

@Ridlins

Maybe he could be that purrloin from that last battle with Martin, or something, I mean, if you don't have the species decided.

[Riddles]

I've already decided his species (Growlithe). I also prefer to use characters that I created.

[Lugia]

Alright, I guess. It was just a suggestion.

[Anlu]

Growlithes are adorable. c:

[KaBling]

oh fer fuck's sake

so many posts; this is like PMD all over again

[Anlu]

@KaBling

It's almost like this is a PMD game!

...:P

No, no, he's talking about back when we did this on the other forum. We didn't have a post order, we made shorter posts, there were more of us, and there wasn't a specified OOC 'tab', so it led to about 17 pages appearing overnight. Poor Kabling was helping me with that thread, and had to sift through every post just to double check that everything was okay. Unfortunately, we still didn't catch everything, and at one point, someone snuck in a post where their scientist character basically invented a nuke, and had that character's specifically-created villain use said nuke on the guild. Just a friendly reminder, everyone: Don't be a poketwo (the username of the guy who used that character).

[Anlu]

Oh... XD. That sounds borderline traumatic.

[Pearion_Rehtyer]

D&D finished so I will finally post

[Lugia]

Oh... XD. That sounds borderline traumatic.

@Anlu

And thus, why I have adopted a turn order in this RP... and why I'm never looking back at that old website... even if it's funny to see how much its RP section has degraded since my disappearance.

[Anlu]

Really, unfortunately, the same is true here on RPG. I was around a few years before the site was rebuilt, and... wow. There were so many people. Seems the number of people has sunk like a rock - although apparently the RP quality is still fairly decent overall. So there's that. xD

[Lugia]

Oh, the NUMBER of people isn't normally the problem on the old place, it's just... all of the decent RPers ran off, specifically, to here. The fact that I ran off to here was simply a coincidence, as I don't really consider myself a half-decent RPer, and ran here for my own reasons, specifically, the only half-decent Rper who didn't run off was a complete punk to me, and a hypocrite.

[Anlu]

eeehheheh. Believe me. I know aaalll about bad roleplayers. I RP frequently on F-list. It's depressing.
And from what I've read your RP seams fine. xD. My biggest complaint is the constant use of first person. seriously why does everyone here use first person that used to be completely taboo. Am I just old fashioned or have I found a weird little pocket where this is normal?

But hey, whatever works for you. xD

[Lugia]

You've just found a weird little pocket where this is normal. I'd use less first-person, but that just feels weird to me, and my posts are much worse when I do so.

[Anlu]

Oh well, it won't kill me. <3.

I'm wondering now if I should bother trying to push Thassa into the expedition or if she shouldn't hang around the guild and pick up this theoretical growlithe and her chikorita and start her own thing. HRM.

Is there any broader, overarching plot, or is this more a running thing that has to do with the antics of each of the teams? Do you as GM interact with teams that aren't connected with your characters, and if so, to what degree? Do you run dungeons and post missions, or is that our responsibility?

[Lugia]

I actually don't do too much, other than perhaps discuss whatever plotline their team would want to follow. Obviously, I'd have to do such a thing with someone, usually the "leader" of that team. As for missions, that's up to whomever's character makes it to the board first, or has an idea for a mission. This little thing is due to the fact that my older RPs had every RPer waiting for me to push them every second of the way. It eventually became too much for me, so yeah.

[Anlu]

So if anything this really winds up operating like a bunch of separate RPs active in the same forum thread and occasionally intertwining. xD

[Lugia]

That's what we're afraid of, but I can't incorporate everyone into the same plot, those who joined in later and/or have weaker characters will feel as if they're useless, or irrelevant... thus, several plots end up happening in the same RP, but we're trying to work in more interaction between teams.

[Anlu]

Hence the current joint operation!

That said that's a difficult problem to tackle. Not sure there's an easy answer.

[Anlu]

The question now is... CAN @Ridlins KEEP UP WITH OUR ANTICS?!
