[OOC] Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

[TimasheTiger]

I'm sorry Ursa, I know you liked that character but even if you did have the opportunity to talk to anyone, your character can't really talk.

[Major Ursa]

Yeah...I know...super difficult character is super difficult.
*sad sulky sigh*

[TimasheTiger]

you should be best friends with your old character and you could even control him if you wanted to, you know...minorly. XD

[Major Ursa]

It's fine.
YnY
Both characters have a hard time communicating with others...they wouldn't even really know of each other...

[LovelyAnastasia]

Hope my post is alright.

[TimasheTiger]

Its perfectly fine LA, I was expecting a few of us to just use the intro posts we had already written anyway.

Also Ursa, I feel like, just because of that, because they have horrible communication skills, that would make them awesome friends XD

[LovelyAnastasia]

Mine is a bit mixed with my second post since I'm one of the early ones this time. But thank goodness it is alright, haha~ And if Tomo goes unnoticed like last time, she'll just go back to her peaceful roof~ *throws sakura blossom to the wind* So pretty~~~

Augh...having to play a previous full character as a minor character is pretty much an injustice to me. I just want my old character to pop up once or twice where relevant, and fade away so I don't have to keep worrying about them. And I will keep worrying about him, he was an interest character of mine.

[TimasheTiger]

Yea I really did enjoy that rooftop scene with Fuyuki though. My hope is that this time more players will actually post, and those that do will continue to post, otherwise I may have to start up a new interest check. Anywho, for those of you that don't know, in the IC today is the first day of the semester, we'll say the fall semester. The time is 8:30 am, class begins in a few minutes. The opening ceremony just wrapped up, or if you'd like you can put your intro posts as if you were there during the opening ceremony.

Dude your old character is awesome and he'll pop up every once in a while, no worries.

ill post in 7 houres and is everyone in the same class?

[TimasheTiger]

Rusher, don't plan to post until you've finished your CS and if you look at my first post in the OOC, everyone is listed in which class they're in.

[Major Ursa]

People, can we all go to class...? Like, seriously, this is a school. There are plenty of opportunities in class, during lunch, free periods, after school, early before school (clubs)...your character came to the school to learn or to have a normal-ish school experience, not to skip out on classes and isolate yourself, when essentially, the story is about students with a disability or two who just want to have their own version of a normal way of life. Sorry, I just had to say this, this is how I felt last time and this is how I feel now...

Also, for returning students...do some of them know each other?

Whatcha mean? Do you mean me? But Tomo is in class, I swear! >.< I had he skip out on class in the last RP cuz there were only two other people in her grade and they never went to class.

[TimasheTiger]

I will leave whether or not players know each other to their own discretion, but yea something like that is allowed. My character for example won't know anyone since this is his first year attending school...ever.

Just 'cause A and B are doing such and such, doesn't mean you should encourage it. My character got stranded 'cause skipping got trendy, when in reality, who does that on their first day when their character seems like a good enough student? Honestly, I almost want to ask that the roof be locked...it's just the most cliché, tropey, plot device location and I can't deal with such a place...even if that would be one of Junpei's hiding spots. Honestly, the location is so abused, I'm surprised there are even people in other location. Logically speaking, though, with students of certain mental faculties...I feel like the roof would seriously be locked.

[TimasheTiger]

Oh geez Ursa is that what's going on?

Alright, I definitely get your point, but the reason everyone decided to go elsewhere last time was because no one was posting. One character posted herself in the library because it wasn't specified in the intro post whether or not the ceremony was over. I helped you to class, then had to try to figure out how to get to class because Kyle's never schooled before. Mattchew ended up "trying" to help me out, but never got back after his second post. I think most everyone skipped class because, no one was posting to begin with. I have clearly defined here in the OOC that class is about to begin, people need to get to it, I'm sticking with what I have because again, Kyle doens't know how to school.

As for the roof, in the novel it was never locked, not once, there wasn't really a reason specified. I will say, for safety purposes that the roof will be locked during class hours and after school. It will be unlocked for lunch, for those students who wish to go up there.

I will also say that in most animes/mangas that school roofs are generally never locked for that stereotypical purpose to have some serious context in the story when it comes to main characters, which is probably why it was kept unlocked.

Posted, I'm not used to this level of RP so I'm hoping my post was up to standards.

As for this roof issue, what exactly is going on? Is there a specific reason people want this roof closed? From what I'm gathering it's perceived to be too popular of a hangout spot, but to that I'd to argue there's a reason for that. It's a relatively isolated & quite place with a great view. It makes sense students would want to use it as a spot to hangout.

[Major Ursa]

It didn't work out too well last time, did it? Last time, my character pretty much got locked into location due to a) not being able to go anywhere since it'd be out of character, b) not having another character to socialise with. And...by extension, me not being able to post both killed my character, and slowed down the IC. By slowing down the IC, people begin to think it's started dying, and lose interest. No body wants to stick around and watch an RP rot into the ground.

Sorry, drinking way too much caffeinated beverages has torn down my Canadian filter...I'm getting a little sick of the tropier stuff, getting sick of RPs dying, getting sick of making characters that you don't get to play out. It just sucks, seeing my character as a side kind of made me see that.

Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands.

Roof is just the most cliché, tropey location whose novelty has pretty much died in my eyes.

You do realize none of the things above is your fault right? Ursa, you posted, you did a hell of a lot more than most people did the last time around, so no you weren't slowing the IC down, its the people who don't respond that slow the IC down, you did everything right, you went with your gut, what felt most natural and the ONLY reason it didn't work is because people didn't post. If you believe I'm trying to "re-kill" this RP, then you're wrong, because I have absolutely no intention of doing that, and I wouldn't have gone through all the work I did to revive this thing, to bring a re-interest check, if I was going to let it die.

Point is, I'm not trying to make things tropey, I'm not trying to rehash the death of the last try out with this and I certainly don't intend to make anyone upset and I'm sorry if my intro post upset you by reusing your old character. If you would like me to, I will gladly rewrite my intro post and leave your old character out of it.

EDIT: I also want to say that what Ursa is saying right now is a really good thing. I want people to voice their opinions, this helps me improve as a GM and it'll help me to give everyone the grand and fun experience that they deserve. So follow Ursa's example, take off your Canadian filters everyone XD

There's no point in removing a character that you already used. I've already read it, it was fine, I just gotta chill.
I'm also not accusing you of trying to re-kill the RP...especially since the previous one died in the womb and didn't have much to it's life.
