[OOC] Plague of the North

[rivaan]

nahh she is a strong woman and can take care of herself... Well orwen can try...might turn out an interresting game.

[Denalz]

Well that's one way to do it... , but i doubt he is the type to go out of his way to help someone unless there is something in it for him.*nudge nudge* but hey Karen has a thing or two to offer him as a bait :3

EDIT: on that note, Sarah better look out. I have the destinct feeling orwen may do something to her eventually

@rivaan

Meh... I think men like Orwen would find Sarah terribly boring for the most part. She's too confident (keeps her from being easily intimidated) and serious (keeps her from flirting or letting little things go). I take Orwen as a man who enjoys making people weaker than himself uncomfortable, but smart enough to do so with people he will receive minimal consequences from. Unless of course, he's looking for some consequences. What do you think @Partisan? Do I have him pegged?

[rivaan]

pssst pssst*whispers* probably :3 Well at least with orwens appearence it means we will get some moneyz to play around with.

@Denalz

That's his forté, he's smart enough to mess with the weaklings and to suck up to the bigger guys. Sadly for the rest, he's quickly become a big guy, so there's not many people above him, save maybe some high high noble dukes or the king himself. But you're right mostly.

[rivaan]

well he will have to rethink his strategy once they get to the north as I said. Zombies don't really have much use for thze money

[Partisan]

Aye, but survivors might.

[rivaan]

:3 well we will see how it all plays out~ will be interresting if nothing else!

@RIengo that post! I love it!

[Partisan]

@Partisan
So, in regards to your advanced RP, you're doing great! Seriously, you're making me feel a bit self-conscious.

And RE: who posts when, some RPs that I used to be a part of had a decided posting order, but that seems a bit limited for this RP. So, uh, just do whatever and hope for the best? I dunno. :P

Poor Zacharias has the worst luck. He has no idea what he's gotten himself into.

@RIengo

I'm pushing myself to write more. I write 10k characters for a 3 person post on my other RP's for a regular post so I want to reach atleast 3k per character on this. :P

[rivaan]

You sir, are a hero. Figuratevely speaking of course. But still, that's some resolve you ahve there to write such posts.

I like to write long posts myself, but I think its hard at the moment because of the stage of the RP. How much can one write about an inn meeting after all? I can imagine everyone's posts getting progressively longer as things move on.

As for posting order, there isn't one. I find them too restricting for the most part. Post when it feels most right to do so. Also whilst I am an avid fan of collabs, I have no quarrel if people feel the need to converse on a post-by-post basis - especially when everyone's in a big group.

[Denalz]

@Partisan I thoroughy enjoyed reading your last post. But I have to ask... am I the only one who feels like writing too much takes away the chance for others to respond to potentially good opportunities for character development? I don't know, I am used to 1x1 RP's over an instant messaging medium. So each post is about 3-4 sentences with every line of dialogue and every gesture warranting a response from the other player. I think large-group RP is going to take some getting used to.

[rivaan]

Don't worry it can be somewhat scary at first, but with some writing you will get used to it. Believe me I know. I started from instant medium too. It's not so hard ^_^.

@Denalz

You could always do an interrupt post as I've come to know them - you just intercept halfway into a post.

For instance if I write that my guy is moving to a door, you can write that your character trips him. Everything after that is then either void or needs to be adressed by me in my next post. That's what I am used to doing, but you're partly right.

Except, I don't think 3-4 sentences matches advanced writing, especially if you take a look at the free-RP to casual-RP and advanced-RP rates of writing and length of writing.

Then again length =/= how good it is, right?

@Partisan

When I say 3-4 sentences, I'm reffering to scenes which have already been set and the only real action being exchanged is very fast paced dialogue between two characters. So 3-4 sentences usually does the trick in these scenarios.

@rivaan I'm sure I'll pick up on it all as I go.

By the way, I'm typing an IC post now.

[rivaan]

niceeeee!~ I'm not worried ^_^ I know you will. Cause once you enter the world of RPs... there is no way out.

@Denalz

OOH! Well in those cases I personally prefer to just unload like I did now, and have characters interact or respond with an interrupt, and then reply to their response later.

Either that, or if that causes trouble with the timeflow then I usually go to PM and just write the convo out and compile it.

@Denalz

I certainly think that it makes conversation very difficult, and is why I advice doing collabs when possible. When things get more action-based and less talk-based I think things will become easier. Everyone seems to be managing though, and I've loved reading all your posts :)

EDIT: I really need to write my posts faster :P
