[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon And they fuse to form a giant transgender woman! XD That is much easier to explain

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

lol the perfect response to that meme! XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

I know right? Totally makes sense to me XD
It was just so weird to actually see that I had to share

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon Censorship at its finest XD

Anywho I'm not sure what to post at the moment, poor Amber is kind of at the "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING" point

[Loony]

@Saarebas I'd post but a) Evenkite's sort of gone WHSZOOM and b) Even if I post as Gilles I'm sort of nOPE.avi at the moment.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

He could save Eve from floating off before getting out of the tree himself?

My next post, I am going to have Aqua suggest to check out the town and then say that they will figure out a place to stay so Aquamarine can explain everything to them once Emerald has returned to life so he will understand too instead of needing re-explaining.

@Akayaofthemoon I half didn't believe that at first, but Russia... And that... wasn't Ruby. This character needs a name, Marubio or Mariuby I think.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

lol I agree XD

[Loony]

@21308 Rubin is apparently how Ruby is said in Russian, so I'm just going to call him Rubman. *shot*

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Oh well Rubin it is because the other just no sound right XD

Emerald's reaction to what happened.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon@Loony Aw but Rubin isn't a pun a Mario...

[Loony]

@21308 But Mario's an Italian name, and...Well...Ye. I'm not sure I need to explain further. ^ ^"

[Akayaofthemoon]

@HaltingBlooper

Poor Emerald XD

[Saarebas]

Hey guys I am thinking about starting a new RP, but the problem is I kind of suck at GMing. You all got any advise?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

This is my first time GMing and I suggest a good Co-GM. I honestly could not have done this half as well without Kronshi keeping me on track sometimes.
Set up rules that work for you and stick with them, even if you have to do the sucky part of politely pointing things out to people that certain things don't work or they need to fix.
Let people know that they can ask question, correct you if you are wrong because we are all humans.
Let them knew that if they have a problem to come to you.
Let people know that you want them to share ideas to make your RP a part of theirs, that they equally have say in the directions and movements.

Not sure what other advice to give XD Not a very great GM myself

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I think you've been a great GM, and would've never guessed it was your first time, but then again the few times I have tried to GM were disastrous, so ^ ^" ye.

@Saarebas I also cannot highlight enough how good it is to have a good co-GM. It can make all the difference. Other than what Akaya has already said, the only advice I have is to not do whatever it is that I did because that clearly didn't work out is just to remember that we're all human. I know, not very good advice, but then again I've never been a great GM myself, so... Orz

[Saarebas]

@Loony@Akayaofthemoon Thanks guys, that helps a lot :) Also Akaya I think you have been a great GM

[21308]

@Saarebas Well, the one game I'm trying to GM right now is plodding along at best, but I've run successful games in the past and I think the number one thing is that you need to do everything you can to engage the players. I've seen RPs with great world building and plots die before because people had no idea what to do. I wrote an RP that lasted for 2416 posts (my personal best for an RP if that isn't obvious) and I wasn't even that great at writing yet, but I did my best to intimately get to know the characters and gave them all subplots to go with the main plot.

It probably doesn't hurt that I also picked a popular property (Fire Emblem) and gave them a story that you'd actually expect from such an RP.

@Loony

Awww thank you ^-^ that makes me happy to hear!

@Saarebas

Your very welcome :P I hope it helps and let me know if you need anything at all. I am not too bad at advice sometimes. Thank you for thinking I'm a good GM ^-^
