@ArenaSnow, how would that work?


@ArenaSnow @Letter Bee that would actually be cool. .. how would we pull that off?


Through boundless levels of pain and suffering.

But seriously...

I'm not entirely sure. My personal timeline is hopefully wrapping this up mid-December and starting such a split in the new year. I assume it would need a few co-gm's to manage things on an individual basis and no more than two or three at a time to minimize confusion.

To shorten what I have in my mind on the matter, it would basically be a couple of separate roleplays in the same universe with a set of connected "managers" running them. With a possible option of crossing over (although that would have to be done carefully).

@IcePezz, @ArenaSnow, Okay...I like this RP, I like the setting, and I like my character. However, this isn't working. I'm only playing a side role in the fight against Zargon, a fight that, while gripping and awesome to read, is, well, mostly fun only for @The Harbinger of Ferocity and ArenaSnow. I mean, I want to interact with PCs and NPCs, I want to do more worldbuilding as regards Giray, as well as take a hand in the aftermath of the battle, like trying to 'influence' who gets to be the new Lord Marshal, or helping keep order in the area.

Problem is, the battle with Zargon's taking too long, and again, I'm only playing a side role in it. It's been literal weeks now, and I only post once every few days.

Add that to the fact that the pace of the RP as a whole has gotten slower, @The Fated Fallen, my PC's best IC friend, is busy most often, and, well, various OOC problems, and well, I'm still interested in this RP, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to wait...

I hope I don't sound rude or fickle.

I do understand your problem.

The fight I do agree has drawn and become a little "neglective" in terms of individuals. I initially intended to wrap up the fight, one way or another, in two posts. I am considering just doing it in one and moving to the next stage.

In this roleplay, I see the retrieval of two keys and possibly a quest in terms of getting the third while having a split deal with problems northwest. I also see the roleplay wrapping up sometime soon. The ones after that I have three concepts, two of which will at least have interaction be necessary for success, particularly with NPC's. Investigation style, if you will, at least for the initial portions; and an element of mystery. Those can only come after this is finished, though, and once I get some details worked out with @Icepezz behind the lines.

At the end of the battle I intend to leave a choice, and the possibility of having two sub-groups come from the one in the city. One of those can involve fixing up the aftermath of the battle and thwarting a demonic attempt of taking control of the city by political means.

In terms of worldbuilding, I'm an advocate of the concept of creating a thread dedicated to compiling lore. So on that note, my advice is to pull what you have together, expand it a bit, and with any luck I can see about trying to put up an additional post with lore, again after a small convo with Icepezz on "what comes next".

Time kills everything. I really hope time won't claim this, and I intend to fight the untimely end of this Rp to the... well, end.

@ArenaSnow, Thanks, and trying to foil an attempt to take control of the city through political means? Awesome!

But, still, I really hope that things don't slow down again.

It's not your fault, at least, not deliberately. That said, though, I did expect a friendship to grow between Ioannes and Tir...

@The Fated Fallen it isn't you. Yes, there are interactions that could be had between you and any of the other changes characters, but I think it is more all of us and a general pace of the rp.

@Letter Bee in my mind, there are no such things as side characters, at least not in this rp. Your character is one of the adventures who are stuck in a situation where they have to save a town. Whether for their own self preservation or for the sake of saving the realm or whatever. Yes, there are 2 characters currently helping yours fight off the main demon, who could post, and you could piggy back off of. And yes, the fight has become dragged out. But your pc could help Ionathan protect the sage, or lend a hand to fighting the new demon that appeared. As far as world building or interacting with npc's, we could- have another guard help/hinder your actions? It is all completely up to you and your imagination. I mentioned in the beginning that we're slower paced than some other rp's. Ultimately, if you decide to leave because of that, we're sorry to see you go. If anyone wants to leave because of that reason, then it is what it is. I'm sorry. And I'm also not sure what else to say. Complaining and carrying on about it though isn't going to help. @ArenaSnow and I are trying to work out ideas to keep everyone involved and engaged. Be patient with us please. But as I said, it is what it is if you choose to move on.

We've had quite a few others who have done the same. @The Fated Fallen is probably the only one left, aside from @ArenaSnow that have been with the story from day 1. I don't want anyone to feel obligated to stay. If you're not feeling it, if you prefer a faster paced rp, if you've lost interest, it's fine. We're sorry to see you go. Just let me know and we can come up with something for your character if you wish. This isn't intended as a jab to @Letter Bee, this is for everyone.

Edit- what could also be said for the side character bit is that if you want to be a main character in the fight, then write it. My character is a support in battles, but she had a role to play in the last fight. Give something for the demon to counter, or work something out with the lion that he's not the only person doing or taking damage. The fights are supposed to be hard enough where they need a team effort. That's why I try to make sure people aren't overpowered, and that's why I have Arena playing team evil - he does it so much better than me :p

@IcePezz, and now I'm torn. On the one hand, this is probably one of the richest RPs I've seen on RPGuild. On the other hand, I have ADHD, which makes it hard for me to keep paying attention to things. I love the setting, I love Ioannes half to death. It's just that, spending an entire month (Edit: Okay, 28 days) fighting Zargon takes the cake, even in a slow-paced RP.

Edit: @The Harbinger of Ferocity, can we arrange something, like IcePezz said?

So arena said that he'll be moving along the fight. If you can wait for it, great. The trip up to the mountain is almost over.

But my point is that there is so much that could be done or considered in the meantime.
