[OOC] The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

[Orpheus]

Sorry Tae! We were kinda over schedule on this part so we had to cut a few things too! Really sorry about it. （ﾉ´д｀）

[Taerinn]

I understand and it's alright, but I'd personally appreciate a warning next time, something along the lines of "We're moving on next time ____ posts, so wrap up what you're doing." :s

[Fox of Spades]

Sorry about that Tae :C we'll definitely throw up a warning next time.

Thanks for understanding and I hope you guys are having a grand mornight (^w^)/

[Pachamac]

I'm going to post next.

As far as the chapter goes, I'm looking for a tentative end of around June 4th so me and Danni can start our co-gm chapter. That gives us about a week or so. As we're nearing the end, I'm going to start up a pm discussion concerning Kei's 'guest' status, and we'll see how that develops. Also, at the end of this chapter we'll have a discussion and review of this chapter to help give me and Fox feedback on this chapter and impressions from people to help improve further co-gm chapters that we can all hopefully learn from and help improve our GMing with.

I will say this already, though.

I would really, really, really appreciate headway being made into planning and talking to me about co-gm chapters, so we can get things properly planned etc before things begin. I think one of the things that has hampered this chapter a little was how last minute planning things were, which has led to some spots of confusion (and a fairly big plot hole arise from it) that, whilst we've done our best to salvage, proper planning and discussion with me etc well in prior advance beforehand could only help make things much, much better. I know Fox is busy with her Midnight Train rp, but if we had more time to have discussed and planned things in advance and finetune details, we could have made this chapter excel a lot more.

For example, Danni's given me details for her chapter like... 3 months in advance. She's given me details on the story arc, plot beats, advancements, npc character details, questions and spots open for discussion and tweaking well, well in advance of when her chapter will begin which gives us the opportunity to clarify and improve things. I'm feeling really confident in our chapter. But on the flipside I've kind of gotten nothing from anyone else so far. I've gotten some concept ideas, but I need more then that. I need an actual story arc, plot, scene ideas, character npc sheets etc since I want to avoid the 'last minute'ness that happened here. I'm giving people the chance here to take control and lead and push the story in a direction they would like, and give their characters the spotlight and development they would like them to have. And if I don't get these details in advance, then I think that person will have to end up having their opportunity skipped.

Help me help you.

[Taerinn]

Heya Pach.

Just to make it clear, I've still decided to opt out of it. Idea discussions keep fizzling, but more than that, it's just not a job that I want, even temporarily. D; Too much work and stress involved, and I'd rather see what everyone else has planned.

And also, if anyone needs pictures for NPC cast shots, feel free to ask me, I have a pretty big image folder that keeps on growing.

[Dannyel]

Umm, okay. A week to finish up this this chapter. LET'S DO IT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY EVERYONE WOOTAGE!

And that's a shame Tae, I would have liked to see more focus on Selan and Lisette. And Kapi XD. But it's a tough gig, and if you can't do it, fair enough.

I call next post!

[Pachamac]

Yeah, I think it's a shame if anyone wants to skip it. I'd certainly appreciate the help. But I'm not going to pressure anyone into doing so if they don't feel comfortable, but it would be nice.

[Rexcalibur]

Hope it's all right I post again so soon!

I've sent you some ideas for my co-gm chapter earlier Pacman, but I'll be sure to get details solidified after finals pass and have time to put full effort into it. :) Since you know I'm still juggling with where to take things haha. Can't wait to see how this chapter resolves! And Danni's co-gm chapter! :D

[Bunanigans]

Yeah I've only sent some vague stuff so far, but that's mainly because I thought you'd be so busy with this chapter and planning the next that I didn't want to put too much pressure on you by nagging about mine too when it's still a while away. I'll fix that over this week, since I have the time off.

[Orpheus]

Good morning! I'm supposed to be packing but yeah /o/
I'll be getting a post up soon-ish, but it's just a simple reaction one (I think) so if anybody wants to post they should just go ahead and post first ^ o ^ /. Hope nobody minds if I post again this soon.

EDIT: Posted~

[Taerinn]

I'm kind of overwhelmed right now by a few things, I'll probably get my post up later. I don't know what it is, but some of what I'm feeling right now is similar to when I've had panic attacks, it's sort of freaking me out because it came really suddenly today. :(

Also, VIXX's new music video is out. It's not my favorite song/video of theirs because the high/long notes are completely unrealistic and autotuned and I seriously doubt they can perform it live without lip-syncing, and like I said before, the concept of it has been done to death already. But I still hope I get their album for my birthday? The lyrics are also strangely fitting for this chapter, too.

Oh, that sucks! I've been there Tae, I know how bad that can be. I hope it passes soon!

Good morning everyone! Has anybody here ever wanted to skip work because a good book has come out? No? Just me? Ughh…why do I even work. X| Wait for me Dresden!

[Fox of Spades]

:/ Feel better soon, Tae! Have some sweets, it solves everything.

Food

Good morning Danni :D have a nice day and have fun with your book.

(^w^)/ I'll go and work on a post.

[Taerinn]

Thanks guys, I had some quiet time to myself washing dishes and listening to music, I think I'm doing a bit better. Still feels like my mind/heart is racing though, it's really uncomfortable. :/

I'm actually writing right now Fox, do you mind if I finish before you post?

[Fox of Spades]

Sure Tae, ^^ go ahead.

[Taerinn]

I just posted, thank you for waiting Fox :)

I'm going to bed now, good night guys. Hope you all have a good Tuesday!

[Fox of Spades]

Night Tae ^^ have a nice rest, I'll go work on a post now.

Edit: Still writing, almost doneeee

[Pachamac]

Feel better, Tae!

New Vixx song. Hmm. I'm in the same boat as you. It's good but not as well done or memorable as their other ones. Hyde was... 8D Ken is still the best, though!

I hope everyone's having a splendid day!

Food pics... @_@

Enjoy Dresden Files, Danni! c: And thanks for the help with co-gm stuff, Buns and Rex. ^^

[Rexcalibur]

No worries Pacman! ^^

I'll post after Fox if that's all right? :>

[Bunanigans]

Tae, why haven't you joined our fb or skype groups yet D: I mean, I tend to stick to fb because skype hates me forever but we have a laugh on there quite a lot. We're just missing you and it ain't right if you ain't involved come onnnnnn~

When it first started Fox was still moonlighting as Pandy so she created a second account. You could always do that if privacy is important to you? Or just set your skype so it doesn't have your irl name and use that instead?
