[OOC] God's Shattering [Concluded]

[Flamelord]

He could have had the heist planned out before he left on the Arcadia trip and just went to carry it out in a rush. Have supplies stashed elsewhere to carry out his plan.

@Lonewolf685

A tiny bit leery but I guess it works. There's just be a shorter gap for travel time and making sure that the shipment he's going for is actually happening/on time, in addition to getting his stuff.

@Flamelord

Do you need to have written out every part of his plan IC? You can't say he had this in mind all along? Maybe he took the Blue Relic in the first place for the sole purpose of having a tool for this heist.

@TheWindel

Well I think the recent events just confirmed that he won't be using the Blue Relic on the heist, but it's a nice thought regardless :P

[TheWendil]

@KoL, @The 42nd Gecko, @Flamelord

Alright you lot. Plot a day for us to collab this heist.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Doesn't KoL hate those?

[TheWendil]

@TheWindel Doesn't KoL hate those?

@The 42nd Gecko

They do. So it's not likely they'll be in the collab for long.

[The 42nd Gecko]

I am available after GMT 10 PM on all the days, and before GMT 4 PM.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel@Flamelord@KoL ^ I forgot my mentions.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

Does Friday work?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Apart from GMT 4 PM to GMT 10 PM, yes.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko, @Flamelord

Let's collab maybe tomorrow.

[Flamelord]

@The 42nd Gecko, @Flamelord

Let's collab maybe tomorrow.

@TheWindel

Alright, I can do that

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL So, a year ago when Monkey, the Twins, and I think someone else who quit went into that tunnel and were stopped by an old man and Yggdrasil, you said we uncovered an important secret. But I never figured out what it was. Are we past the point where it matters and you could tell me?

@The 42nd Gecko

Very much likely it's irrelevant now, since I cannot recall it. The chances are of it being one of the numerous abandoned/failed plotlines that haunt this RP's past. Don't bother with it.

[KoL]

We, the GMs, are holding a discussion relative to the future of this RP. We'd like it if anyone who may be working in a post held back until we say the contrary.

It's not anyone's specific fault.Even so, things aren't going in a way that interests us in maintaining this RP. Likely we are going to Bad End it, but we are still deciding how.

Apologies for the unexpected news, once again. But, we have our reasons.

Thank you for understanding.

When you say "Bad End it" does that mean we're getting the Bad Ending? Were we supposed to collect more gems to unlock the better endings?

We are saying this is a Bad End in the fashion of visual novels, where most any ending before the main would be called a Bad End. There is no more interest in continuing the RP, so it will have to come to a conclusion sooner then expected. Since this means no one will be confronting a great antagonistic figure and saving the day, then this is a Bad End.

@Lonewolf685

I knew I picked the wrong dialog options earlier. Now I gotta go back through our saves and see where I messed up. (Assuming we didn't rely on auto-saves the whole way through)

Anyway, if you need anything from me to close the book on this let me know.

[Flamelord]

While I am saddened by the implication that the GMs do not believe that the group performance in the RP has been good enough to warrant the production of a 'Good Ending', I'm also not surprised since doing so would require notably more time and effort in a story that they want over with minimal fuss (Though I can think of a relatively easy way to do it, if you're open to suggestions).

Regardless of that, it is also sad to see this go. It's been fun.

@Flamelord

Are you trying to be passive aggressive again? The "Bad Ending" is just a label for the premature end of the RP. We've already said we're ending this for GM reasons and not because of Player actions. Don't imply things that aren't there.

That being said, what suggestions do you have?

@TheWindel

No, I am merely remarking that calling it a 'Bad End' is a misleading label that inaccurately portrays the motivations behind it, especially for those of us who do not have significant knowledge of visual novels to know that that is the term you would use for any ending before the main ending.

As for my suggestion, to make a Good End feasible is fairly simple. You just have a shift in PoV and write it from the perspective of the Jester. Even if he was to be the main antagonist, we both know that you would never kill him off for realzies. Combined with his unique status as a figure erring towards the Deadpool/Neptune side of meta awareness, and it would be comparatively easy to write out the happening and end of the final battle, and what happened to the Imperium afterwards while keeping the details fairly vague.

Sure, not perfect, but it is an idea

@Flamelord

So wait, are you saying just write out the conclusion without waiting for Players?
