[OOC] Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

[Ellri]

we have no problems with your posts.

Our last post was laid to rest a good week before we finished it earlier today.

[Sundered Echo]

I don't see anything wrong with your posts @Klomster

Ellri and I had planned that collab a little while back, but when ZB posted the latest post with Johannia doing what she did... It all just fit together perfectly and we were able to finish it up in a single night.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Klomster I see no problem with your posts. Write them however you are comfortable with.

@ZB1996 Excellent post, I like how you are also adding more detail to the lore of the religion of Klebrithy, I appreciate it. Though I think his brigade would be better placed in Tunia as that is were the next major battle will take place.

@Ellri @Sundered Echo Am I correct in assuming the leader of the mob was:

[+]

Thanatos Thale

[Ellri]

Would Thanatos lead a mob like that?

[Sundered Echo]

Would a sweet young man like Thanatos Thale lead a fire and brimstone mob trying to burn a mage (who was actually not a mage) in front of Lana's house?

What a preposterous idea!

;)

[Ellri]

it does rather seem like Formaroth attracts irregular bouts of frequent posts broken up by long periods of silence...

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Ellri Well that's is how it seems to work. I would like for things to speed up but real life does get in the way and as fox used to say: quality over quantity. I am currently waiting for a response from echo on our collab but hopefully it will be finished by next week. Andrews should hopefully be up soon as well.

[Ellri]

Indeed it does.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Ellri I am going to try and speed things up a bit now given that at this rate it will be ages before we finish the RP.

As a result would it be possible for everyone to get their post up next week?

[ZB1996]

@TheDuncanMorgan Speaking of finishing the RP, I myself am partial to the ending where we all end up dead. But more to the point, I should be able to get my post up next week, but I just had one question regarding time in this RP. My future posts are hinging on events which would realistically take several months to get started. So should I just ignore the time issue?

@Sundered Echo Would you mind if I did a short collab (it would not take up the whole post) with you? I'd like Lycaon and Lanaya to finally meet.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@ZB1996 What sort of events were you thinking about? (if you don't want to reveal spoilers to everyone then send me a PM)

[ZB1996]

@TheDuncanMorgan

Firstly, there's the election of the next High Priest/Grand Cleric. It requires all the bishops to gather in the capital, which should take considerable time. Secondly, though a split in the Church has obviously begun, it will take some time for the message to get across, even with active proselytizing.

[Sundered Echo]

Of course we can collab. Its always fun when Lana meets new people. Though I will want to wait to start it until after I finish the current one with Duncan, as that one will change a few things for her.

And yes, I echo the sentiment of having long plots running...

What do we define as finished anyway?

[ZB1996]

I changed Lycaon's picture to something closer to what I actually imagine him to look like, even if its a little too youthful and anime for what I was going for.

@TheDuncanMorgan Having thought about the time issue some more, I think it would be better to ignore it and just have the events move at a natural pace.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Sundered Echo Well as I wrote on the OOC at the beginning of the RP "The 'winner' is whoever is on the throne with a stable rule". Though we have long moved away from the game driven narrative of the RP and moved on to the more story driven narrative (which I personally prefer) this is still more or less the same for the ending. I currently have a planned ending in mind which I have discussed with a few other RPiers and that is more or less the ending we are working towards (basically one person on the throne ruling over Formaroth again). However this doesn't meant that your characters actions are pointless or trivial as the the actions of your character will change the story leading up to the ending and change features about the ending (or endings, I feel as if there are a still a multitude of endings that can happen).

Also while we are on this topic sometime soon there will a point where the the story will split from 'part 1' to 'part 2'. We are currently in 'part one' and given the route the story is taking we are approaching it's end sometime soon. When part 2 starts not much will happen in terms of the story here except I am going to be setting up a new recruitment page for new RPiers and recruit like crazy. Other than that this rp will continue on as normal. However I will also be starting up a second RP who's story will be running parallel to Formaroth and will eventually have a big impact on the Formaroth story. I can't really say to much about it without spoiling the ending of Formaroth 'part 1' other than it will be set in Seikatsu. If anyone has any questions/criticisms/queries about this let me know now.

@ZB1996 Very well. Sorry for not responding sooner. On a side note will Lycaon be sending his brigade to Telmarion to meet up with the rest of the De Reimer forces and if so will Lycaon be with them?

Also while I have already written this much I may as well ask for some feeback regarding the RP: I.E is everyone currently satisfied with the way the RP is currently being run? or are there some improvements they would like me to draw my attention to?

[Klomster]

I for one like the dependability of this rp.
It's always there, where so many others have failed for me. Also i like the general feel of it. Even if it would be useful with a few more posts here and there.

A secondary parallel RP, interesting concept.
I suppose our characters could potentially appear in that RP as well, impacting results or even speaking to particular characters?

[Ellri]

The journey is the goal, not the ending. At least for us.

Granted, that doesn't mean a story shouldn't finish. After all, a journey isn't complete until you've been there and come back again.

[ZB1996]

@TheDuncanMorgan

Lycaon and his brigade will be heading to Telmarion.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Klomster Indeed. Though it may be unlikely that we will interact directly until 'part 3' (if I do indeed dub the finale sequence part 3) as the different stories take place different continents. Though the events in both RP's will likely be referenced and mentioned.

@ZB1996 In which case I will link you to the upcoming collab planing page once it's ready

[Klomster]

It would be cool if Claus was some sort of a legend, seeing he's been around more than most of the other characters.
