[OOC] Sanctuary

I don't have issues with heavy reading, I just don't want to discourage those who do. Also, it's a matter of common sense and continued activity. That last collab could have just been Kish posts and collabs between you and Lost (maybe one tri-player collab), and ended up being AT LEAST five posts.

this is what I agree with. The post wall really does not bother me, seeing as how I consider this and advanced rp. The real issue I have is how a large number of active players were completely engrossed in a single post for an extended time. Two things have happened because of this.

1: I have not been able to post in this rp simply because I am pretty sure it is a rule that you have to wait 3 other player posts before posting again yourself.

2: Others were (and I may be wrong about this, if so I apologize in advance) put off from posting because they were waiting for a 'grand' collab from the three of you.

Now while collabs are awesome and do a lot of GOOD for the role play. Collabs of this size, including this many people, are unnecessary. A collab should only occur when the players involved do not have enough content to create a decently sized post on their own. Otherwise events like this should and could be done with each player posting their respective parts after the other.

Not only that but a lot was done in this post. So you three may be completed your part of 'act 1' before all us other ladies and gents. That would be not very cool, simply because you would have to sit and twiddle your thumbs while we caught up, or even worse, Sage might decide to go into Act 2 before the other s are ready.

These are just a bunch of things I would rather avoid, and keeping collabs strictly for when they are needed helps resolve this.

PS: Again this is all my opinion, if it is wrong I apologize for over stepping my boundaries, however, if it is right I would like everyone to at least consider my side of things :)

Have I wonderful day, I am leaving for work!

All of that ^

However, Kish can't really move forward an act without us considering "ACT 1" doesn't end until we escape Sovereign.

true, but my point still stands.

[GreenGoat]

Huh, now is the time I admit, I have no idea what to do or what to write.

I just wish that you guys would have brought this up ages ago instead of now when there really isnt much we can do about it. It seems tedious to argue about something that is already happening. We can all use these thoughts later to prevent it from happening again, but I will not "trim" this collab so it isnt long. Things with more than four major characters will usually be big posts like this. Just wait until we all attempt to break out of Sovereign. Those posts or collabs will be huge.

[GrandDM2]

I really don't want to read through several pages and a few walls of text, so could someone provide a quick summary of what happened while I was gone? I'd go through it myself, but I don't really have the time.

[Sage]

Alright that discussion is officially over, don't make me go Mad Sage Mode. Skai, we goofed a bit, it's ok, just admit it, but at the same time, we understand, it wasn't the best delivery. Move on. I promised Lost that I would see this RP to the end, so sittin here and wondering why it isn't as dope as the first run isn't what I plan to do, and I doubt it's what you plan to do either, Zeph, although I wouldn't be surprised if it were. I understand your points, but at the same time, I'm really not liking this passive aggression. I want to emulate the homieness we all had from the Sanctuary OG's. And it's definitely possible - we got lucky again, with some dope people joining us. So, yeah, no more "arguing". In fact, I might as well add that if you got something that may come off as argumentative to say, you are not allowed to say it without adding a peaceful joke that can generate (at minimum) 10 haha's.

Ok, no I'm just playing. Let's move on. Grand here is your summary:

-Since Sovereign got glassed, our characters have been out and about trying to survive. Sovereign is in shambles and is basically post apocalyptic at this point. Characters Kisheto, Ishigo, and Julian have joined up with Hector and the golden mercenaries, viewing them as the surefire way to get the hell out of the quarantined city. Arianna has been tailing Iktomi, and Iktomi has been manipulating his elaborate set of followers to do his bidding through out the city (i.e. intel, recon, scavenging, etc.). Ariel got even more psychotic and cannibalistic and has taken on physical changes (she aged, for example) as a result of her "feeding". She has made a sort of pact with Iktomi. Mathias Winters has also made a pact with Iktomi along with the company of his friend Sam, both of which are a part of Mr. Winters surviving household which is pretty well off. Mathias was last read to be hunting factory dwellers to strengthen his kage.

Weston is very faggot still stuck in a flash back, which was being engaged in segments of him right before the apocalypse. In the present, he was last read passing out from near-fatal blood loss in the company of a bypassing, armed teenager. Vates is wandering, but has stumbled upon a random group of survivors and is still an OG because Kyle knows hows to write shit well. Greengoat's character had an encounter with the mercenaries, but decided to run off because she refused to give up her search for her lost maid, who acted like a guardian for her in current times.

Recent collab was the Golden Mercenaries hunting down a gang that executed one of their squads, only to meet up with Iktomi who had friends that fell to the same fate.

And now, I will ask Skai and Lost: Can we continue the rest of our scene without collabs?

And now I will address Greengoat: Remember, never be afraid to ask me (Skype, here, etc) if you need help with shit. Let's see... your character was out looking for Hilda. Do you have a plan for what happened to Hilda? You could progress that. If not, you could encounter the GM's again (when they eventually head back to their base). Or you could meet up with Vates. Or maybe you have an idea in your mind that you don't want to try because it might be a bit too "much"? If so, ask me. I'M HERE FOR YOU HOMIES, YO!

Also, remember I love you Zeph.

lol, if you would like some help pm me and ill brain storm with ya :)

To Our lovely GM: I completely agree, and I apologize if I seemed argumentative. I was not at all trying to put that across. I will definitely be sure to make as many jokes as possible in my future opinionated statements :). Thank you for being open and shtuff.

P.S.: I personally think this rp is the dopest sheet evar :D. I am only expressing bummed outness becauseI haven't been seeing a lot of activity recently, but then again, most good things come in small portions :).

Keep being awesome everyone :D.

Grand dm2: how is your arm doing?

P.P.S.: Can I have permission to post, I am craving a good post in the world of Sanctuary :)?

[Sage]

Anriu, go ahead, as long as it isn't a post for posts sake. Make the post mean something and build character or SOMETHING, y'know?

btw, sorry if the fight scene in my post was a bit messy. It was all a bit rushed so I might go back over and clean it up a bit if I get time.

Hows everyone's yet-to-be-posted posts coming along? :)
