[OOC] The Seven Cities

[GreivousKhan]

So is this full?

So is this full?

@GreivousKhan

Don't think so.

[ClocktowerEchos]

So is this full?

@GreivousKhan

Actual cities might be but factions and organizations aren't ^^

[GreivousKhan]

Damn, I had a great idea for a city. :K

[The Sparrow]

@GreivousKhan You can still make a city, I think!

I don't want to speak for Flagg, but I believe I remember him saying that he would simply have the title changed based on how many cities there were.

EDIT : Yep, you can make a city-state!

We're still open for both faction and city NSes, and I will change the uh title of the roleplay to reflect how many cities we actually get.

@Flagg

[GreivousKhan]

Awesome, the Red City might be a thing then.

[gorgenmast]

I'm afraid I'll be rescinding interest in this RP.

[Isotope]

Sorry to see you go @gorgenmast

[GreivousKhan]

I apparently I scared @gorgenmast away? o.o

[gorgenmast]

No. I mean, just look at the chatzy, and you can tell that people are getting carried away - in my opinion at least.

A lot of us were in Gilded Throne, and that was really special. In that RP, our factions were consistent with one another and we worked off of a common history. For the most part, everyone had a fairly standard medieval nation. In this RP, it seems like everyone is trying to one-up everyone else by trying make their faction just that much cooler. Some of that of that is healthy excitement for the RP, but it's gotten to the point where everyone's nations are so discordant that they don't feel like they belong on the same world, let alone the same continent. People aren't making nations with compelling stories; from what I've seen, everyone's trying to impress one another.

That's not what RPing is about to me, and that's why I'm out. I would love for you guys to prove me wrong, though.

@gorgenmast

Maybe if you stuck around and joined us in making the world more consistent with itself, you wouldn't have such an opinion, but instead you chose to give up and turn your nose up at everyone. Good luck, maybe a more positive attitude will serve you better in the future :)

This is why we can't have nice things.

@gorgenmast

No, people like you are why we can't have nice things. First sign of things not going according to what you think is best, and you throw a fit and leave, then make a scene touting yourself as some superior being. Go back to your precious Precipice RP.

@gorgenmast

That's why I'm a fan of collaborated world building. It helps when people pull form a similar culture, tech range, and religion.

@gorgenmast

Taken from the OP,

a unique fantasy world

Furthermore, while multiple sentient species will inhabit this world, I would like to stay away from the elf/dwarf/gnome/orc/goblin mainstays of D+D. Players would be encouraged to give the traditional fantasy races a unique twist, or better yet invent their own!

I really don't want to add flames to the fire, but I think the miscommunication is that this isn't neccessarily a straight-up medieval roleplay. It's a fantasy world, granted a low-fantasy one at that, but players are encouraged to create their own races and then we will create a history to incorporate them in the world we're creating.
In any case, I am sad to see you go! I personally don't share your other feelings about the state of the nations, but I do wish you fun in any other roleplay you end up in!

[The Nexerus]

What sort of empire was Pharazon?

[Monkeypants]

Ok,just as reference. My nation needs to be on the front line on a generic yuwan/justinian faith border. It also needs to be of average size. Makes the most sense to me.

I have no pain ability on my phone so I'm just gonna go with what ever is made for me. I just want start my story!!!!

[Darkmatter]

Guys no! We must all be vanilla empires A through F.

Waking up to someone making such a complaint really boiled my blood. It's a fantasy setting. If someone wants to have sentient mushrooms I'm sure Flagg would approve if it was well written.

I'd rather see well written unique nations than six bland empires so maybe to shake your Internet phallus elsewhere? If people wanted similarly cohesive nations, based on fact it'd be a historical or alt-history setting.

Your opinion is there is a lack of cohesion. My opinion is that we're still in the world building stage and to make what is essentially nothing other than a shrouded insult is very annoying.

On brighter news, welcome Mr Khan! No you can't play as the red city as my city is already red and I must 1 up you and be cooler.

@Darkmatter

Noooo!!!!

On that note nice to see you here DM! THis really makes me want to join this, to bad Gorg will miss out but oh well.

Alright, I'll be starting my sheet today, however, as some of you know, I'm a big fan of collaborate efforts so I'm looking for at least two maybe three nations who are open to having a kinda-religion I'm going to be introducing have some presence in their city. The Healing church specializes in remedies and curing illnesses among other things, no down sides at all! But I do want the option of interacting with as many nations as possible.

[Legion02]

I have a proposal for you Khan. My city-state has religious freedom. So i'm guessing that there will already be quite some religions present. So you're very welcome to have your Healing Church their too. However, actual religious buildings are prohibited within the single city I'll have. This is because the city is inherently built by the followers of the Old Ways, who's religious 'building' is within the nearby woods. Though Justianism is starting to be introduced there, mostly within the slums just outside the city walls. If you'd like, your Healing Church could be there too. As I assume that a church focused on healing would have field day in the slums. What do you think?

((PS: My location is far west, on the southern side of the spine. It's the first city state you meet if you want to enter the isthmus from the south. From Tityos' side.))
