[OOC] The Heroes of Beacon

[Lucius Cypher]

Honestly? I don't approve. It defeats the spirit of of why we had to take the exam in the first place if we could just have played as intolerable assholes and still get into Beacon. It's one thing to have drama with your team, but the only people we're waiting on don't even have their full team formed yet. They could try to justify it all they want with "That's how their character would act", which would likely be responded with "Than you aren't cut out for Beacon". Even Team CRDL, for all their douche-baggery, could work well enough that they aren't tearing their team apart before they even got out of the forest. You should impose a time limit and let everyone know that if they don't get their act together before than, they don't make the cut. Otherwise what was the effort for, if we were already guaranteed entrance?

[OldManWong]

I would prefer not time skipping but I guess whatever gets the RP going since it's being pretty slow-moving right now.

This. Honestly, my suggestion is team me and Esayo with Itano and Sho. Explanation? Ozpin mixed up the cards to mess with people. Let the quarrelsome children continue their fight, not even posting to at least try to advance their OWN characters, and let the players who are ACTUALLY PLAYING get on with the story.

[Sho Minazuki]

Perhaps, but do we have enough to make full up teams yet?

I mean sure I've been waiting a goddamn long time, but I'll be waiting even longer if they're still incomplete.

[Asura]

[Lugubrious]

Those teams that might be incomplete can be completed with NPCs of the PCs creation. This would, I think, solve a few problems at once.

[Sho Minazuki]

It would, but I remember earlier that NPCs were going to pose some problems of their own.

We can just make as many complete teams as possible with current numbers, and use the remainder for other roles.

I honestly would prefer a reboot at this point. This thing has just become... Well, a complete mess.

[Lugubrious]

Not for the most of us it hasn't. And if it is decided that a reboot is 'necessary' to fix this Rp's 'issues' I will be the first the abandon ship.

[Sho Minazuki]

Probably isn't.

We're just getting a lot of existential errors, we can sweep them under the rug but Irish seems to refuse to force this along one way or another and insists on waiting for complete teams.

Look, posting and killing the Nevermores is all well and good, but we'll still be waiting because teams aren't complete anyway.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

I just wish Esayo showed his/her face...I'm worried Auriel is now alone.

Wouldn't there be more existential errors if I DIDN'T wait for full teams before pushing it to the ceremony?
Kinda weird if we have a team with NPC characters in it, that all suddenly get replaced without them dying, then we'd need to change team names, as well as maybe meaning a sudden and forced change in leadership if one of the NPCs was just an outright better leader than someone else in the team.

[Lucius Cypher]

Irish, the issue right now is that the only people we're waiting on aren't even close to forming their teams yet. The people who were originally suppose to work together aren't, and will continue to not work together for arbitrary reasons. Some want a timeskip where the teams are formed without much explanation, and not everyone agrees to that. Some people are willing to compromise with each other if it means forming a team and passing the exam. I'd suggest you find out who among the students who haven't finished their exam and let them chose who they want to team with, either by pairs or by individuals, work on a single collaborative battle, and get them back to the ship. This shouldn't take more than a week, at most. Anyone who doesn't finish by then should be failed. We'll also need to look over who's active and who just dropped off the face of the Earth and axe them as necessary.

If we're doing a roll call, then I'll be the first to call "here".

^Second. I may not have put all the thought in the world into Auriel at first, but god damnit, I have a backstory now, and ideas for where I want him to go!

[harinezumikouken]

-Waves- I'm alive. o3o

[Esayo]

Alive as well, Auriel is not alone! o/

[Flamelord]

I am alive. Yay.

[Galgarion]

I am not yet dead

[Sho Minazuki]

Ya'll know I'm still around.

Surprising considering how long I've had to wait. Itano is also.

Can't imagine how angry and impatient y'all must feel.
