Yeah, I know right?

Btw, new episode of Drifter out today. If they're doing 12 episodes, last one would be on the 23. Kind wish they'd push it to the 24 so we can say that Drifters saved Christmas.

I'm going to be moving the scene with the Strykers onto their actual performance tomorrow. Because the performance is suppose to be 40 minutes long, I want each of you to find me two songs you think the Ebony Strykers could dance to. Ideally good ones, but I'll go out on a limb and trust whatever decision you make. Ideally it may actually be a music video with dancing and stuff, so we can get an idea of what our characters are doing.

This is an example of the opening act.

@Lucius Cypher
I ain't too good with songs but here's my picks :V

WHO REMEMBERS THIS, THE THROWBACK TO 2011?


You can't have a dance performance without Smooth Criminal. Proven fact.

I ran the numbers. It checks out.

[Mega Birb]

I played all these at once. This is what my life has come to.

@Lucius Cypher
Make the Sweepers great again:


actually serious:

[KoL]

Ew... the dissonance is too great. It would require a genius producer to make something out of that combination.

[Jedly]

@KoLThe color black is an amalgamation of all colors, but does not give any dominance over the others

In other words the Strykers gonna make this work fo'shizzle my nizzles ayo up top

By the way, @Lord of Evil, @Awesomoman64, @Lonewolf685, @Caits, @RoflsMazoy, @Jedly, @Mega Birb, @McFazzer, @Flamelord, @Ryonara. Those are all the people that are playing at this moment, right? Well, if I forgot someone, they can always read the message here.

What I want to do is ask is your opinions about the the current IC event, that is, the Festival? With our current understanding there's a general discontent towards it, so we are going to move away from that in the next few posts, but since a lot of you guys aren't even replying IC it also feel like we are skipping you just because we are bored with the event and want to move forward.

I mean, I proposed the Festival idea as a mean of doing some IC interactions that weren't as viciously competitive as Deep Ground usually is. To do some character development that didn't required us to try to bash each other. But I see that most don't know what to do, despite it being just like "Walk into someone else and talk", are completely uninterested at best and venomously apathetic at worst, have gone AWOL or turned it into another acid spitting contest.

Place your opinions here, otherwise we will just move forward into the plot section that is supposed to come after the free fun time and not take complaints about rushing/ignoring your opinion.

@KoL I've just been super busy between work and drama, I'm a fan of the slower, developmental bits.

@Mega Birb

Thanks.

I was asking just because constant complaints about us not giving freedom of acting to the players are kinda grinding my patience. Simply because when we give some controlled freedom to act as you wish within the minimum boundaries of the plot, most players, especially the ones that complain about not having freedom, choose to act like drones that have to be commanded to do anything. It's a discrepancy that always end in the GMs being blamed and that is freaking annoying when we try the best we can to make the RP fun for everyone.

By the way, Itsuko talked to Aaron on one of my last posts yo can potentially reply to that when you have time, since Emma is still stuck with Hibiki.

Anyway, erm...

Anyone else?

[Mega Birb]

@KoL Give them some time, I think we're the only ones awake at the moment. And I'll be sure to, probably gonna get a post up tonight or tomorrow. Expect Katsurou family shenanigans.

@Mega Birb

Oh, I know that. I was meaning how that issue about us railroading people comes up on every RP we GM. But, when we give them freedom, they choose to do nothing (or try to completely derail the plot) and still complain at us.

@KoL
I wanted something to flesh out Thomas and Finn a bit so this is fine for me. It's also the christmas season, and the time where families do stuff together, so everyone's probably a bit busy or something.

Anyway, I kind of like the festival but I agree that it's going rather slowly. Still, I want to keep going with it for a little longer. Why don't you just make something happen during the festival? Or something. I'm kind of incoherent at the moment, but let's just say that I've been waiting for something like this for quite a while.

@Lord of Evil

I'll try to think of something like that and see what we can come up with.

[McFazzer]

@KoL Like Birb I've been a bit busy, in my case trying to find some summer work (Southern Hemisphere ftw :3). I enjoy the slower pace, but then again I always do. The fact that each interaction doesn't immediately devolve into a fight is refreshing. The Festival does feel as if the main plot has been pushed aside, but I think it's a needed break so that people don't burn out on battles or whatever.

I figured that moments like these were the purpose of the 'Real Life' parts. I'm sure everyone here must enjoy these moments on some level, otherwise players would probably find some other type of RP in the same vein, possibly inspired by SAO, Log Horizon or some other 'Trapped in the game' theme as there is logically no real life there :P
