[OOC] W&T: FT RP!

[Feisty-Pants]

The problem with that is that the guilds that make almost the entire population are pretty much inseparable. I think the easiest way is to disolve Harpy and Vyper altogether and use the groups we've been naturally forming to make two new guilds. Not only will it solve the population problem, but it'll feel more like a guild when it's made out of groups of friends.

And I'm not "squelching" anything. The established histories are already part of the groups we'll be forming. What I'm saying is that the groups that naturally form over the course of the RP, those who have established histories together and those who form new bonds, will be kept together.

@chukklehed

So Lamia Scale isn't going anywhere? Or....what?

Eh. I'll let you GMs figure this out and do what I need to do in the end.

I do agree on having a second thread. I do but dissolving guilds will not help.

The second thread, I see it as more of a fair point plan where we don't get crowded much. Our plans do have its faults.

"You can't dissolve your own roots."

What's possible and may happen, Harpy gets their guild back.

I know what to do but that doesn't mean we will dissolve.

We'll talk this out with Renny, chuk, Shiho, and Kal.

Furthermore, dissolving guilds we have allegiance to are a bad idea.

Look, if people like Wendy, Chelia, etc can maintain their friendship despite being far away, why can't we?
Story wise, it's a bad move. TBH. An action like that won't make sense.

[chukklehed]

I give up. If you're not going to listen to me at all, stop asking my advice.

The second thread doesn't work if all we do is move four people over into it. Have you even SEEN the roster?

Besides, half the characters in either guild ignore each other for friend in the other one. If you separate Harpy and Vyper again, all you're doing is forcing those people apart. If you DISSOLVE Harpy and Vyper, you allow those people and the people with friendships inside their guild stay together in a new guild. The only thing you're giving up is the NAME, not the people.

@chukklehed The thing I think you're missing here is that characters would be able to crossover with characters from the other thread. The GMs arent planting a wall between the Guilds, they're just reorganizing where the majority of their posts go. If you want to have interaction with someone from the other thread, that's fine- just decide ahead of time which thread you'll post in for that interaction. It's that simple.

EDIT: also, dissolving the 2 biggest guilds in the game would require some hefty story motivation. Like, Acnologia attacks and nearly murders everybody sized motivation. I'm not sure the GMs are in a position to want to engineer that sort of thing at the moment.

The roster is expansive, sure. But forcing people to dissolve their guilds doesn't solve the problem either. Each guild at this point likely has some sort of definitive history and the like and as such shouldn't be forced into non-existence. It's like literally creating a power vacuum for absolutely no reason just to keep people who like each other together.

Essentially, you want to dissolve the history/guild loyalty of almost 700 posts because of a split? That makes no sense. The easiest and simplest way to divide the IC with the least amount of hubbub is literally simple. The two biggest guilds do NOT get dissolved, and go to separate threads.

Crossovers will exist, and will be governed by alternating specific threads at least to my understanding so the whole "forcing people apart" isn't necessarily going to do just that.

After that, the smaller guilds (Lamia Scale for example) go to one thread, and then alternate through the rest of the smaller guilds back and forth until everyone is essentially meted out in their own miniature universe. Easy. And. Simple. No: "Ooookay! dissolve! MAD CLUSTERFUCK TO SEE WHO GETS PAIRED WITH WHO AND WHO GOES WHERE TO INSURE THAT THE GMs HAVE AN ANEURYSM FROM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WRITE THE NEXT UPCOMING STORYLINE/ARC."

The rosters are set, they will remain set, and to simply just dissolve for the sake of maintaining relationships for the sake of keeping "Friendships" together which will still easily just do that (Through Crossovers or PM Rps or whatever) and then dissolve the history of almost 700 posts is just ludicrous.

I say put the two biggest guilds in separate threads and then let things work themselves out with the smaller guilds makes much much more sense.

That and it's Haruna's say. Head GM is the law.

@Saltwater Thief

Just to be clear, they are already living under one roof. Dissolving the name doesn't need mass murder. That's.....for lack of better words...terrible. The point that was being made is that both guilds have already amalgamated and the need to constantly call themselves Vyper or Harpies is rather pointless now. The only plot point you need is...say the masters explaining how close the bonds of the guilds have come to be as one.

Also morning

I, for one, don't have a problem with Harpy and Viper being one, as long as its justified in the IC and it doesn't disrupt the story progression. As for the creation of a second thread for LW and LS, i find that a bit redundant actually. I don't know why you would want to do that since everything has worked fine for so long. What I have gathered from all the other posts, you want to create a second storyline for those two guilds right? Well, I'm all for that but why can't you do it right here? I don't get why you have to make a second thread just for that...
