[OOC] Equestria Divided: In Nominé - MLP RP

[kapuchu]

Yay, my Internet is working again :)

@Tai Falkenburg

Welcome back :p

@Tai Falkenburg

*Cuddles* Welcome back.

@Bright_Ops

Thanks. :) Alas, my Internet went down again, and still a bit unstable.

Though the good news is I can post the newest entry.

[kapuchu]

Just want to let people know that I am not dead. Exams have me in a corner, and I'm struggling to get a series of assignments done in due time. Once they are over I will do my best to get back to this.

[EldritchOne]

Sorry for the silence, I sorta went through some writers block, I've been planning to get back into it soon, but I got some exams I need finishing.

[EldritchOne]

Right guys, I'm sending out this post because its pretty obvious we're in dire straits, so I'm sending out the Bat Signal so to speak.

It's pretty damn obvious that posting has slowed down dangerously recently, in fact its now down to just Bright-Ops and Tai here, and we haven't seen Tai in 20 days, which isn't encouraging but not out of the normal. I've been speaking to Mono and Kapuchu recently and both of them have unfortunately lost a significant amount of interest in the RP, and it'd be hard not to say that the thing hasn't been going slow for a considerable amount of time - three months to be exact.

Currently, me and Kap's have had a conversation, and we're of the same opinion that it's probably a decent idea to close this thing up sooner rather than later, to avoid it falling by the wayside. Both of us- at least as far as I can tell- seem to agree that we might as well end it with a relatively satisfactory conclusion of sorts (with some debate over what that would be), but also one which we might be able to pick up again and restart if Kappa wanted to, but we figured we might as well ask you guys on your thoughts on the matter.

Personally, I'm not exactly gung-ho about ending it- and Kappa isn't either- but we're concerned we might not be able to revitalise it in its current state, and it'll end up going the way so many other RP's have gone, and simply waste away inconclusively. But we wanted to ask you what your thoughts on the matter were before Kap's decided on anything, and whether you thought what we have right now is salvageable or whether we should end it now before it kicks the bucket.

I know I'm kinda guilty of not being involved recently - in fact it was writing for this that got the question started- but I think I could resurrect my involvement here, my main worry is that we may not have enough people left to continue this- especially with the RP being starved of new blood- and my concern also lends itself towards ending this properly. Out of all the RP's I've been involved in, only one ever managed to conclude the game successfully, and that's a real worry for me with this game, and a worry I think I share with other folks here. I'd rather we give this a good send off than let it rot like so many others.

So what'ya say? Think we've got a few more rounds, or would you prefer we begin sorting this out for a satisfactory conclusion?

[Bright_Ops]

I for one would be okay with this this Rp a proper send off. I've been apart of a couple of incarnations of this story and none of them have ever really been able to come to a proper end.

Truthfully, if we were going to go to the effort of pumping some fresh blood into this rp we might as well start a new thread after this one has come to as proper a close as we can make it. A chance to make new characters; As much as I love Torrential and how he has grown since I started using him, it's time for someone new and I'm sure that everyone else would love the chance to shake things up.

But first and foremost, we have to give our characters a proper ending.

[Tai Falkenburg]

Sorry for not responding sooner, but RL business had to be attended to.

I think we had a good run with this campaign. Maybe it's time to give a proper conclusion, though not a finale. I'd like to think that the story doesn't quite end yet, but this episode has.

Oh, if anyone wants to use my characters for Roleplaying NPC's or minor characters in fanfics, go right ahead. Even in settings outside of Equestria Divided, I think one could find a use for them.

[EldritchOne]

Sounds like we've reached an agreement of sorts, I'll relay the news to Kappa and see what the online conclave can sort out, we'll keep you guys abreast of what's going on.

[kapuchu]

So, Eldritch and I have talked a bit, and I believe we have come to a possible conclusion to this chapter of In Nominé's story. I can't promise exactly when it will be up, but there will be time for everyone else to conclude their individual storylines if they so desire. I will, however, encourage you to do so relatively quickly, as the conclusion of In Nominé will include a rather long timeskip.

I would also like to say that even if I haven't really posted anything here, I have not been absent. I've been checking in every day, read every new post both IC and OOC. So even if my interest in this RP became drastically less than before, I haven't abandoned it.

With that said, I will be going to bed. I hope everyone will find the conclusion to this story satisfying when it does get posted... Whenever that might be ;)

[EldritchOne]

Also just a heads up for post-chapter times, if you're feeling the niggle to play something in this universe again but the new chapter isn't set up, I may have the solution. Basically the conclusion opened up a decent amount of options for me, and Kap has given me the thumbs up for a possible RP in the same universe, albeit not directly connected to the main In Nomine storyline. It's still in its formation stages right now, but if you liked what I did with Scalpel's stuff you might enjoy this, as is customary, it's going to have a lot of strangeness, moral greyness and general Eldy specific attributes.

It's not going to be thrusting you into a Lovecraftian hellhole however, but it is going to be a rather strange and slightly unsettling, setting. I'm going to be working off the "stranger in a strange land" vibe to its fullest.

Once this story is concluded properly I'll be able to talk more about it, as if I did it now It'd deal out some massive spoilers. As it is, if your interested, keep your ears open either on the chat, or alternately in the OOC here for updates. You lot are extremely talented and - most importantly - loyal players, it'd be a joy to sign some of you up.

[Bright_Ops]

Feel free to send me a PM when you get this thing started, I don't want to miss it.

Honestly, my 'end game' with Torrential at the moment was to head into House Moon and Star turf and destroy Canterlot. I even have a legit method/plan in order to do so. Even if some of the leadership might be able to escape the trap, not all of them would; Along with the destruction of the house's administration and the symbolic nature of Canterlot's destruction as a signal that tolls the end of the reign of Celestia (And to a lesser extent, Luna), it would be a death blow for the house.

[Tai Falkenburg]

Ack, sorry for not being here sooner :(

So many projects I got caught up in that I didn't have time to post.

@Tai Falkenburg

It's fine Tai, we're in the finals and exams period, so peeps have been busy for the last month or two, Kappa should hopefully have a post up soon so that we can get this show on the road again for the grand finale! :)

[Antediluvixen]

Heeey y'all, I'm alive!

Also, the new Scarlet post marks the start of a new direction I'm headed in. Hopefully a good one, I'm looking forward to some of the shenanigans I have planned.

[Bright_Ops]

It's been ages since anyone posted here; I've kind of missed this old Rp. So what's up?

[kapuchu]

@Bright_Ops
S'been declared dead. Nothing left to come here for, I'm afraid.
