[OOC] Estermere - A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay

[Professor_Wyvern]

While Elric has no loving spouse or heir...

[Stitches]

I just want to hug Elric and never ever let him go.

Ever.

[The Fated Fallen]

That could get uncomfortable for a barber

Surgery with someone strapped to you

I don't get the point of the collab.

It wasn't edited for better flow; you can tell that you guys just pasted together a large series of posts made over PM, which defeats the entire purpose. Moreover, unlike a combat scene, which requires a bit of organization, this entire sequence didn't really need a collab of any kind. All it really did was make us think you'd flaked, because you spent days making this.

Keep this in mind next time. If you're not doing combat in a google doc, it's better to just post one at a time, like normal.

I agree with Bee, it paces the game a lot more, gives people time to react and also, nobody wants to be hit in the face with a wall of text after several days. Smaller posts more often are the way to go!

[Feigling]

I can't use Google Docs for the time being. Sorry about the wall.

[Metronome]

I'm starting to hit the dreaded bar where I begin to lose interest in the RP.

[IncredibleBee]

Do something fun to spice it up, then.

James has a macguffin now.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Like remember how Rhone angered that Dragon, by stealing that chalice?

[IncredibleBee]

I think Bing's been gone for days now.

I nominate myself substitute GM until his return.

[Professor_Wyvern]

I support this nomination.

[The Fated Fallen]

I support this move, I also admit the RP is going somewhat stagnant.

[Feigling]

When is it morning?

[IncredibleBee]

I'll switch it to morning shortly. Finish up anything you wanted to do.

[Professor_Wyvern]

I'm good, don't think I really have anything else I need to do. Anyone else have anything they want their character to do?

As for say Remington, we can assume he escaped to do his nefarious plan another day, if it isn't wrapped up before morning.

[BingTheWing]

Still here, if you need me! @Bee, I like how you took initiative. And yeah, Wyvern, exactly what Remmy would do.

I actually intended this to be an RP where I set out a very basic setting and assorted plot hooks and let my players do the rest. I thought this method would significantly lessen the effort I had to make in GMing. However, my method is going slightly wonky. If I need to pay more attention,

holler.

You can't just do that; you can't slack. A GM has to put maximum effort into games, and above all make sure something is actually happening. You need to both check up on and post IC in the game regularly. If a player doesn't show initiative and take over, it's far more likely everyone will just flake, and the game will die.

I have seen this happen too many damn times.

[Feigling]

I would like to point out my new sig.

Stitches and Metronome, be good while I'm gone. I'd like you two to control my two whilst I'm away.

[BingTheWing]

Bai, Feig! :D

Gonna get a post up soon.

[BingTheWing]

IF any of you are planning on leaving, I recommend you wait until THIS has happened.
