[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[NaraK]

@Nytem4re I hope that the reason for someone picking me as co-GM isn't because I'm liked by a lot of people, honestly xD
I'm hoping that they see what I could offer to the health of the RP rather than just the relationships I share with others on here!

_{but it still feels great if people like me!!}

[Guess Who]

Hmm... Might as well.

My Paragraph

Hello players of HoB! It is I, Guess Who, making a second attempt to become co-GM. Because doing the same thing over and over isn't insane at all.

Anyway, I feel like I would make at least a decent co-GM for a few reasons. First, I have no life. Yeah, that's probably not something most would say as a reason why they should gain a position, but in this case I see it actually working in my favor. Other than school and work, I'm basically at my computer 24/7 and I always have a tab open here. If something starts, the chances of me not being here are slim. So if problems arise I can quickly nip them in the bud before they escalate. Second, I'm one of the originals. I've been here just as long as Lugu, Lucius, and Hari so have gotten the chance to really get to know quite a lot of you here, even if I mostly remain silent unless it's to make some terribly unfunny joke. Third, I'm not an instigator. This RP has been going for 2.5 years and in that time we've had a lot of arguments. Who wouldn't? Not once during any of those fights did I ever start them and if I did join in it was always to stop them and find some sort of compromise.

Now admittedly, my track record at actually running RPs is less than stellar, Lugu, Cats, and Prince can probably attest to that (I still feel bad about Meta Ops and Starfire to this day), but I feel that that isn't what we're looking for here. We're looking more for someone who can deal with problems when they crop up, not someone who will run a story and attempt to keep everyone interested in it. Hopefully, with the power of an unofficial co-GM status, I can be more effective at doing that.

In short, I love you all and I want to be there to make sure this thing keeps chugging on.

@Nytem4re

Too late.

[Lugubrious]

Your opinions have all been duly noted.

I've actually considered Lucius a co-GM for some time. He's done more in that regard than Harine, who is listed as a co-GM. In terms of new candidates, I think that both Narayan and Write would offer a lot that the rest of us don't have enough of. I'd honestly like to hire the both of you.

Continue to discuss, if you have more to add, and I'll keep considering the matter. It's a lot to reflect on, even if some very good choices are staring me in the face.

Guess, weren't you a co-GM for a little while a while back? I dimly remember something to that effect. To be perfectly honest, though, I would not think of officially promoting you over Write or Narayan.

@Lugubrious

No. I applied, but you chose Hari and Prince over me. Thank you for your honesty though.

[Write]

All I'll really add from this point is that I'm ready and willing to take the position and I fully believe as some others have vouched that I have the ability to civilly end any spats that may break out. With miscommunication commonly being cited as the main issue I believe that I'm fairly good at sorting those issues out.

That being said I will say this honestly, I don't think another GM on team Swansong is really a great solution. If Lucius was promoted it'd be a gm-only team and I just don't believe that'll help with a lack of communication to be fairly frank, having a more diversified GM team might be a slightly better option. That's my serious opinion, feel free to take it as any of you will.

[HereComesTheSnow]

I've proven myself to be a stalwart attack dog in the face of any who are deemed my enemy through slighting myself or my friends. I'd love to be your personal hitman against rulebreakers and shitters.

Being serious, Write or Nara would definitely be wonderful choices. They give a lot to this game and I'd definitely trust them to actually pay attention as GMs.

All that I've ever asked of one.

[NaraK]

Developing plot for a fun story is one thing, but so is the fun we have together as we do so. A direction to making an atmosphere that feels closely-knit without holes in the plans we make is something I'd like to see even more frequently (even if the RP as a whole is still very stable compared to many other RPs).

It could feel like a hefty task but giving the current GMs a helping hand is a great idea. I mean, I'd be happy to directly help people here more often, but I'll be happy either way as long as this extra co-GM idea gives breathing room for everyone!

@Write

Yeah I'll admit, while I certainly do want to help, I'm hesitant to officially call myself co-gm because in doing so Team Swansong will become a GM team. That's not to say I'll use that as a reason to stop helping and voicing my ideals in the ooc, but I'm very much aware of the implications of consolidating gms into one team.

To that regard while I'll still put myself forth as a candidate for co-gm, I'm willing to operate as vice co-gm for whomever feels my service is needed. My main concern, much like Snow, is being able to tackle any issues I may come across in the event a gm is not present. Having the authority to either settle a disput or some such would be very much appreciated, otherwise I would at worse only be feeding the fire.

[Plank Sinatra]

That sounds like semantics to me, considering this is a game with a pretty wide-open plot and a lot of player-run missions that takes a lot of the load of what a co-GM would normally do. All that leaves is the power to stop disputes. If you have those powers to stop shit in the OOC, you're a co-GM. If not, you're a regular player the same as anyone.

Plus, I think Snow was just being a dipshit.

I don't really have a whole lot to say on the other two lads. They should know by now what I think of 'em and my opinion on who would be a better GM isn't really relevant.

[Abillioncats]

Nara and Write are great choices, and like what a lot of the others are saying Lucius becoming a co-GM would feel kind of sketchy, only because that would make Swansong a GM team.

[Lady Seraphina]

This is thoroughly off topic but do you guys know those boxes that package an amiibo and a game in a bundle? Does anyone know where or if you can get a custom template to print your own versions of those boxes?

Example:

[Ookawa]

I'd totally throw myself into the fray, but for the sake of everyone's sanity, probably mostly my own, but also yours to quite some degree, I'll just sit here and watch the world... do its thing. Burn, cool down, flood, whatever. Do your thing, world, I am not opposed.

(Although, you could appoint me as the token comic relief character/GM. There always seems to be one of them in any series and this OOC is barely just messy enough to be a drama series)

@PyroDash888

Sorry Hari's already filling that role.

[NaraK]

@Prince of Seraphs I know there's a separate amiibo box template but not a amiibo + game template like that one... o-o;

@NarayanK

The template for making custom amiibo boxes is the only one I can find online. There doesn't seem to be one for the game/amiibo bundle box which kind of sucks cause I have a sealed version of all the Zelda amiibo run and I want to make a custom box designed to showcase that amiibo and the game it represents

Smash Bros Toon Link with Four Swords Adventure
Wolf Link with Twilight Princess HD (Wii U)
Smash Bros Ganondorf with Twilight Princess (Wii)
Smash Bros Zelda with Twilight Princess (Wii, Nintendo Selects Edition)
Smash Bros Link with Twilight Princess (Gamecube)
Smash Bros Shiek with Ocarina of Time (Gamecube)
Adult Hero of Time with Zelda Collector's Edition (Gamecube)
8-Bit Link with Legend of Zelda Cartoon DVD

I can't do it with the Wink Waker Link and Zelda cause they come in a combined set and the amiibo box is too big to fit in the bundle box.

If you can't tell I'm a little obsessive compulsive about collecting and displaying stuff.

[Lucius Cypher]

[NaraK]

@Prince of Seraphs Wow someone actually remembers Four Swords Adventures xD

I remember playing around with the Zelda worlds with my family when we all had freetime! It's probably the fishing minigames that made them watch the game lol

[Guess Who]

_{I've only played the first Legend of Zelda game and have no idea what any of you are talking about.}
