[OOC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

IRL circumstances can be worked around. But the current format makes it so easy to be less involved. And if nothing else, frankly, ARGs are more fun than RPs.

@Dynamics

I just looked up the definition and the examples provided but I still have no earthly idea on how I would incorporate my stuff into that.

Everything was real time, for one. The IC was treated as if it actually happened. Look up Augmented Reality Game and you'll get a good idea.

@Dynamics

so when something was posted, you didn't have to refresh the page to see it?

@souleaterfan320

There's no incorporation. There will be almost no difference.

@Darlit Glitch

You did. Regardless of the type of game, they're still forums.

They were self-aware of being on a forum. There's not much else, other than less visible things.

so it broke the fourth wall?

@Darlit Glitch

Sort of. But there was absolutely no OOC at that time (we can easily work around that—it's really not hard), and the characters were using it for convenience.

@Dynamics

Explain further please.

@Darlit Glitch

Imagine our IC, except they know they're on roleplayerguild.com. There's no OOC to discuss what happens IC.

@Dynamics

so ic and occ were on the same page?

[DarkwolfX37]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I don't. Nobody's ever here, nothing's getting done, and this should be when everybody's the most free. MR is a husk right now, and something has to change.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Disagreed. It won't be the same thing, but it would be relatively simple to match the ARG style; the only downside would be being on a roleplaying site. If the Wyoming Incident could do it three times, it would be simple to do so once here.

@Dynamics

Nobody's ever here:
Pinkie quit
Tox is who knows where and basically quit
I sleep during the day and haven't been as creative as I used to be recently
Spirit has a job
Whizz quit
Soul has a job
Sven is getting a job
Darlit has school
You work from home on your own hours

You are literally the only person in a position to do anything. I don't know if you never put any thought into this, but the only reason we were able to be as active as we were was because we were in high school. Then schools started changing policies and people lost time to be here. Now everyone's out of school and expected to either go to college or get a job, neither of which allow for much time rping. I could have told you two years ago, you have two options. You can either accept that there's not going to be a lot of time when everyone is online at once or even much time each person is online at all, or you can try to give MR a good ending. We decided about that time to not go with the latter option, so you're stuck with the former. This is not something reversible, you and I are not the common situation. Most people have to do a job and generally that leaves little time for other things like rping. We will never be able to go back to what we once were, and I'm not even convinced we should.

@DarkwolfX37

I am currently on summer vacation, so I've been thinking about getting a part time job before summer is over and i have to deal with college.

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

There was no such thing as ooc.

@DarkwolfX37

i'll take that as a yes, cause it's quite obvious there wasn't.

@DarkwolfX37

I avoid saying this, but I don't buy that people are online their max amount of time. I don't even want to do this because of people, but because it's a better system. But while we're on that subject, I have poured hours of my life into this, and have stretched myself farther than I probably should have in order to add grease to the wheels. I have broken rules, sneaked tech, and otherwise did what I wasn't supposed to do in order to be here for everyone. And now where are we? I'm on all day and get maybe twenty posts. People give the excuse that they're "busy," but that inherently implies that I'm not. None of you know my life, but I'm constantly busy, stressed, and working on four things at once, but I always make time for you all because I love everyone here and this adventure we participate in. I give time I don't have to something I don't need, but it's worth it to me because I get a push back from everyone. If others are willing to participate, I will sacrifice whatever I have to; I turned down potential for hundreds of thousands of dollars because it had a high probability of ripping me away from MR. But when it seems like nobody puts in nearly as much effort as I do, it gets really discouraging. I don't want to be a part of a one-man show. I want to be a part of MR.

There was nothing to have in the same section. Everything was IC.

Um, excuse me, how the fuck is this a one man show?

Then why complain about it potentially becoming something it isnt, nor wiall it ever be, along as we all exist and use whatever site were using at the time?
