[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Guess Who]

@Lucius Cypher Nyte is still here!? I had no idea! When I checked a couple of days ago, he hadn't posted for months either IC or OOC.

That means that the slot I intended to give to @Asuras since Bianca is going on JCL is actually not available. Lokileo's Geni gets the opening on VGNB, but that leaves Asuras' Culann without a proper spot. Hot damn have I gotten myself into a pickle!

@Lugubrious

There was that one person who said they were interested on the OOC's previous page. Maybe we could start a new team? The other spots being taken by NPCs until we get real people to take over?

[Lugubrious]

@Nytem4re my sincerest apologies. Your absence makes perfect sense; you were part of the team, after all, who in terms of timeline is still in your mission while the rest of us are playing through the weekend. The time that's gone by while we've been doing so makes me want to whip myself when I consider that I mentioned wanting to keep that time (where you and your team are unable to post) to a minimum.

Since this led to my mistaken assumption, which is now festering into a whole host of other problems, I have half a mind to put a definite deadline on how long we're going to be playing the weekend.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Lugubrious



It's no problem boss. But maybe next time before you mark off who's out, try a rollcall. I'm sure there's plenty of more PC's who are just like Team STRG/RGTS and just waiting for a chance to post something in Weekend Limbo.

As for the others I dunno, but it wouldn't hurt to try and see if they left too. BTW, Onarax has unfortunately let us, so now there is a vacancy in team KNVS.

@Guess Who

I might be able to grab another member pretty quick if this happens.

@Lucius Cypher

That is true, but KNVS is an extremely in active team comprised of one NPC already and two characters whose players have main characters to which more attention is devoted. It's also a senior team, and to my knowledge Asuras created a freshman character. I don't know whether or not there is any interest in adapting that to a senior role.

As for creating a new team, I don't consider it to be a very good solution, but it may be the only one. If HCTS can get us a new player, that would alleviate the problem (there's also Masaki Haruna, who may or may not be interested, I am not sure) whilst at the same time going even further against my desire to not swell our player count any further.

@Folks, I am going to be adding some new stuff to the OP in short order.

[Asuras]

Tbh the disorganization here is a little off-putting. I understand there's a lot to manage considering the playerbase is huge, but regardless I'm not sure I'm up to stay. Since I'm already on a waiting spot now, might as well call it.

@Asuras

I do really hate to say this cause I liked your character and pushed for you to be allowed in but this RP has suffered greatly from people dropping out for one reason or another so if you're thinking that maybe it wouldn't work out then perhaps it is better that you leave now before you're character becomes part of the HoB cannon that we would have to dispose of at a later date. I think the RP would benefit from having you here but if this RP's structure (or lack there of sometimes) is not conducive for your participation then we wish you all the best and I hope I'll have a chance to RP with you at some other time, some other place.

Honestly we're not asking you keep track that's silly. BUT when we've told you twice in the past four days and it's been something that has been set in stone since well before missions ended it would be nice to have you remember it. I don't mean to sound rude, but you ARE a Co-GM at the very least you should probably be aware of which teams house which players.

@Write

Someone asked a question about which teams where available, I posted the most up to date information I had without having to wade through twenty five pages of the OOC trying to figure out which one of the teams I listed had been filled. I figured someone else would let him know that specific team wasn't available, no harm no fowl. Instead I got two people yelling at me one of whom has nothing to do with the current discussion and the other's only relation being that he's on the same team as the slot Bianca is filling. I am sorry if you think I'm ignoring you or forgetting something important to your participation in the RP but the reality is that I cannot name the entire roster off the top of my head nor can I name every team in the RP save my own and one other that my character is involved with. That's why the Character Tab is there for reference. It has now been updated so in future I won't be making this mistake with Bianca and Jumpercable but should a similar situation occur down the line it will very likely happen again. The only thing I can do is apologize and ask that you take a civil tone when reminding me (@HereComesTheSnow).

Hey, Geni on a team with all girls, hotdog!

@Asuras

nuuu stay your character looks cool D:

[Lady Seraphina]

@LokiLeo789 Did Sapphire and Geni talk at all after the fight? I know she followed him during his talk with Professor Chatsworth but I don't remember what happened after that.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Asuras

On my phone so I can't give you a big speech, but please do stay. I'm actually petitioning to become a Co-GM, and with your support I can clean up the OOC and make HoB great again!

@Lucius Cypher

Donald is in the house.

Also does anyone think this sounds worryingly like what Gren is planning IC?

[HereComesTheSnow]

no

[harinezumikouken]

Seriously.

Who are all of you?

@Asuras - No. You stay.

Go if you really want to.

But I ask that you stay.

I like fresh meat new faces.

@Prince of Seraphs

Just a little bit I believe, I'll look it up in a few hours though.

@Asuras

That would be a major disappointment. The potential solution offered by Guess Who and supported by HCTS could definitely fix the problem, and the organization is being improved. The waiting list, as far as I am concerned, doesn't exist. You're in, and can play if you want while we work swiftly to find a way to fix this issue. Saying that you want to duck out based on something that's a 'little off-putting' gives the impression that you were not as interested as we might have thought to begin with. I would strongly encourage you to give us a chance.

[Abillioncats]

The random shit I find:

[Asuras]

I can imagine you'd understand how it looks when a newcomer gets in with a set team (and even points out persons who seemed to be "gone for awhile" due to their concern that the team they were joining wasn't very active), then it turns out their spot is reversed cause the person is "Active" despite apparently having not posted (?) IC for over a month (from what I saw), all the while an argument is happening with a co-GM about attentiveness.

Like I said, it's a little off-putting. My biggest reason for gravitating towards leaving was being out of a team. I didn't think creating a new team would be an option considering the hesitance to admit new players before, and so it seemed I'd be "set aside" for some indeterminate time while a spot needed opening.

@Asuras

My apologies for the argument about attentiveness. A few tempers got rather short and most of us didn't handle it as well as we probably should have.

I can imagine how that must look. To clarify we had missions take place IC Friday. For a number of players those missions stretched out through the IC weekend while others were confined to that Friday. We are in the process of roleplaying through the weekend so those people who are technically still on missions can't be active. With so many characters time doesn't exactly move swiftly so a number of people are stuck with nothing to do and no way to post until the weekend is over. Thus certain people were perceived as absent because in that lull were they cannot be in the IC they've also left the OOC mostly alone. My apologies for any problems this has caused but there should be some solutions to getting Culann into the IC without having to jump a bunch of hoops.

Rather than having to form a new team which I don't believe we have enough players for Culann could be temporarily assigned to an existing team till such time as an opening is available. Since the teams are meant to be four people this would likely end up with the team taking turns of who has to sit out of set activities but it is possible to make work.

[Abillioncats]

@Prince of Seraphs Who is gonna want to fucking sit out of activities? That's a terrible idea.
