[OOC] Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

[Mega Birb]

@Jedly Goddammit, I'm not sure if I should roll with this or dropkick the stand.

[KoL]

I don't know what's more funny, how you Sweeper guys are making a point of ignoring Eclipse Princess's actions as if she was harmless or how she turned all of Asahi's speech into a pointless rumble of someone who's trying to overthrow Moon Rider as the leader the Ebony Strikers, after all he yelled words of rebellion right in front of Rider's castle.

Asahi: "Bla bla bla... no one's gonna have the guts to go Outlaw because a few idiots died (in a game)... bla bla bla... we are gonna kill them even if they are our allies..."

Eclipse Princess: *First action upon the reopening of the game, log in, go Outlaw and start killing the Sweepers who try to pass through the choke point they created and know that Eclipse Princess held an army there right besides Nyx.Not only that, but break their equipment, forcing them to not only lose way more EXP than they should but at the same time lose the skill to fight back against her, demoralizing them, after all it's simply unjust, right?

The full extent of Eris' plan to destroy the Sweepers won't be revealed until the Wild Tiger gets in the scene, since she's a mole within the Erasers facilitating Princess access to their plans, so that she can strike them with clock-like precision. The reason for the Tiger's actions will be revealed later, but it has something to do with a certain group of K.N.I.G.H.T.s.

@Mega BirbStand's gone. No brakes on the WHATEVER THAT SKY GUY'S NAME IS FAN CLUB CLUB train, now that it's got the required headcount. XD

Wrote it all for pure comedic effect.

You realize that it's not as of Sweepers have any sort of way that identifies themselves as Sweepers, correct? One of the things that makes them a boogeyman man is the fact that anyone could be a Sweeper. One could argue that Eclipse Princess actions are basically the same stuff Sweepers do.

Also unlike Retsu, Asahi doesn't have lightning speed information. Most of the players are still suppose to be at school so that's what Asahi is doing. Even the ones working for Arms Slave is suppose to be getting ready at the guild hall, so they likely wouldn't have heard Princess' speech since they aren't there to listen to it. Now maybe a few Braggarts would have faced her cause they're idiots, but it's not as if they're going to just suicidal charge into her blade.

Also, I am having some major issues with the fact you've chosen to make a character as a leak into the Erasers, without informing me at all. I suppose you're also going to make her have relations to someone who can shut down Retsu and her operations too, or maybe rat out the Goroshi as well? Seriously, while the Erasers are a shady lot, I control them. And I certainly don't like the idea of someone just making a character part of something as volatile as the Erasers anymore than I'd want them to control a King.

@KoL

That's why I haven't made the character yet. I was/will talk to you when she's ready. I know that I shouldn't be taking unilateral decisions, after all the drama from that time.

@Lucius Cypher

Huh... no? When did Eris threatened to/killed someone for their in game actions?

@KoL

When did Asahi? All he did was reveal Cassandra's name. It's Eris who calls him and the Sweepers murderers. And knowing their reputation, the only thing Asahi had to do was give a name, and let the rumor and gossip speak for itself.

[TheWendil]

<.<

@Lucius Cypher

If you choose to hang out with criminals out of your free will, you are an accomplice even if you don't do any crimes yourself.

All members of the Sweepers are accomplices of murder (and other crimes/hurting people) because they know that there's people among them who do it but simply don't care, or even support them.

This isn't subjective stuff, it's the hard, cold truth.

[Lucius Cypher]

@KoL See, that's where the split between the Sweepers as an ideal and Sweepers as the organization changes. The rumors and accusations? A vast majority of the Sweepers are unaware of or simply think they're lies. The cleaners and the erasers, the ones who would be doing theses "murders" are the minority and largely a secret from the Sweepers as a whole. But there's no such thing as bad publicity: if people believe that the Sweepers kill people, that would make people ensure they don't cross the sweepers. And for those like Eclipse Princess killing off the Sweepers? All she's doing is taking out players who fancy themselves DG vignettes. Asahi is the only real Cleaner she may ever face, and he can do enough harm to her in Deep Ground. Until Eris because an actual threat to not the Sweepers, but the Erasers, Asahi won't get the orders to harm her. At worse Arms Slave will fight Eclipse Princess.

Besides, it's not as if Eris' hands are clean of blood either. Call it self-defense if you want. Asahi has done the same. He finds people who are causing trouble for his Friends or the Sweepers. And he deals with them. And if they want to deal with violence? Perfect. Or are you going to fault him and everyone else who uses gunboat diplomacy?

You know what this RP really needs?

A theme song.

[KoL]

You know what this RP really needs?

A theme song.

@TheWindel

I can find you one, just let me get back home.

[Lucius Cypher]

You know what this RP really needs?

A theme song.

@TheWindel

Like an opening or something that ought to be played during climatic moments? I can try for both.

[TheWendil]

@KoL, @Lucius Cypher

Basically an opening or an overall theme. Though I encourage anyone else to find one if they think it fits.

[KoL]

@TheWindel

My ideas:

~Overall Theme~


~Translated~


~Arc 01: Corpse Collector Theme~


~Arc 02: War of Strangers~

[TheWendil]

Hmm...

[TheWendil]

Totally wasn't going to host a competition on who can find the best song or anything...

<.<

[Lonewolf685]

You can still compete. It's just a matter of beating a GMs picks :3

[KoL]

I guess that my first two choices aren't so easy t beat, Jiyuu no Tsubasa is subject to debate, though, since it applies only to the situation of the Ebony Strikers.

[Jedly]

@TheWindel
About to head to driver's ed, but I have one recommendation. A big vocaloid fan, so I thought this song fit pretty well.

EDIT:
Just for BGM that fits the theme:
