[OOC] Bleach, the outcasts (always open)

[Archmage MC]

@Halvtandthat would depend, if it was something minor like seeing a building being made then it's fine but if it's something that will influence the story then you need to run it by me first

@Jangel13

You can probably run it by me too if its a big thing, I'm pretty good at feeling story flow and all that. Also if you got arc ideas post 'em here.

Also I'd recommend that if you need to take control of the head captain to fill out some paperwork to go somewhere or need to talk to a captain to go somewhere, your free to take control of that character to get that red tape out of the way without needing to wait for someone who controls that character to reply, just so we don't have people being hung up on trivial matters.

Of course this is without its limits. It needs to be believable, IE, if the soul society is under attack, you wont be controlling the head captain to leave and go to the human world without a really good reason, or if its an area made by another player that they don't want you there prematurely. But if tis in peace time and your character is stuck in the soul society while everyone else is in the living world, just handle all that red tape yourself without needing to wait for the head captain or other captain to reply.

[AgentFallenSoul]

are you guys accepting arrancars?

[Jangel13]

@AgentFallenSoulsure just keep on mind were doing a soul reaper need help arc at the moment so if you want in then you would need to be friends with the visors

@Archmage MC

Yeah, we worked it out, but thanks, that sounds really reasonable.

@Jangel13 finishing post... Soon...

[Jangel13]

Bump

[Halvtand]

Budump

[Jangel13]

This slow down does not bod well for the rp. ...

[Halvtand]

I'm as shocked as you, the first few days are usually filled with posts.

[Jangel13]

I officially suck at gming a bleach rp

[Archmage MC]

I'm personally waiting for 1 more new person to post, but I guess this didn't go very far. The other bleach RP is only like a group of 4 friends as is anyway.

Dunno why bleach RPs aren't popular anymore, I know a few years back one went on for a veeeery long time with lots and lots of people, lol.

[Jangel13]

I know seriously, it gets canceled after episode 366 because some jerks said it was going on for to long. If anything one piece is much worse in that respect. I still love bleach and I have great ideas for characters that will never live. Which is just heart breaking

[Halvtand]

Personally I'm just hanging around, waiting for anything at all to happen.

The big problem I can spot with Bleach as an rp is that at some point (when the characters get strong enough) the game will inevitably change its nature.
low-level shinigami and spiritual humans, many quincy and bount as far as I'm aware mostly battle against each other or hollow. The hollow can have interesting powers and abilitites, memories of their former selves and look any way you can imagine. Once strength x is reached, vizards and higher hollow/arrancar appear. These new enemies look human, is powerful enough to fight 1v1 and may or may not have memories.

As you can see, the two modes are very different and attracts different players, of course some may not like to play when the change happens or strongly prefers one or the other.

Anyway, I'm still around.

[Jangel13]

@HalvtandI appreciate it, it's hard to find loyal players here. I can keep this going if we had a 4th person here. It's still early so we can keep it going if we have another person

[Blackbeard]

Well I would like to officially apologize as I am the one who has been inactive. To be honest though I'm not sure this would have lasted very long anyway. Bleach RP's almost have to have a big cast to them, 4 people is too small for a universe centered around 2 large forces that have around 12 prominent leading characters each, as I said when we started I was thinking we were going to wait for more players. On top of that I didn't really understand the premise of the RP, we have Hollows, Vizards and Shinigami but the setting hasn't really been set the Arc hasn't really been defined and it seems much more of a sandbox RP which, in my opinion really isn't suited to Bleach. You need a linear story-line to tie everyone together.

Also I'm not a fan of the 'fringe' races in Bleach, this is purely personal preference but I dislike all the Vizard, Bount and fullbringers of this world, to the degree that if they become a really prominent race it puts me off quite a bit.

Again I apologize, and I hope you will take the above as constructive and not in anyway intended as insulting. But through my experience with Bleach RP's this tends to be the problems they face when starting out ^. In terms of a Bleach RP in progress, I think Haltvand touched on it. Some people get incredibly powerful and others lag behind or even someone joining late and therefore an underpowered character compared to the rest. I've seen Bleach RP's ruined by those wanting to be the next Aizen's and I've seen them ruined because the roof in terms of powerlevel was reached and so there was no logical direction to go in, which is a problem with the universe overall. It's the BDZ effect, characters getting evermore powerful to outdo each other until the limit is hit, at which point...where do you go?

Sorry again.

[Jangel13]

Okay well done but it wasn't sand box I had a theme in place but you really didn't expect me to say it in the first part did you? I had to set everything up. Second I wanted to start a small group so that after a few posts people gain interest in thinking that this rp didn't die so it must be going somewhere and want to make the universe bigger. Finally you could have just said all of this in the beginning and save me the trouble and just look for someone else.

See ya

[Blackbeard]

Ok it sounds like you didn't take it very well. Quite frankly, as I've said, I thought we were going to wait for more people (As every Bleach RP I've ever seen let alone been in had minimum 8-10 people) And when we had a total of 4 (Including the GM and Co-GM) and immediately started I was a bit...dazed I supposed. When I cited my interest (which may I add, I said 'I might be interested I'll keep an eye on this' rather than I'm definitely committed) I was expecting probably a week or two in which we gathered more interest and then I would gauge my involvement from there with who joined etc etc.
I admit that once the RP had started I really didn't help and I have apologized for that and will do again, but you kinda rushed into action, especially considering the universe we are in, which immediately turned me away.

As for the story line that's completely fine, if that's your way of doing things that is cool. Again, I apologize and I really hope you don't feel insulted or the need to hold a grudge against me for my comments, I'm just explaining my position. If this does indeed go forward then I wish you all the luck in the world that this becomes successful.
