[OOC] Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

[Ardent Dawn]

Had a rather frustrating day - not in the mindset to edit the collab document at the moment. If everyone wants to carry on ahead, I'm happy for us to post the uneditted version (so things can keep moving) and I'll ask Zanavy to edit the post once I've done my sessions, but otherwise I'll have it done tomorrow. Both work equally well for me (I'll be finishing the write-up tomorrow either way), so it's purely down to everyone else's preference.

[Zanavy]

Do we want to keep doing the collab or post what we have and continue the rp here? First option to get four votes wins.

[Dawnscroll]

*shrugs* My money is post what you have thus far.

[Eklispe]

Post and continue, it is kinda of exclusionary at times.

[Sickle-cell]

I've been writing for around 4 hours now, as soon as i'm finished the final few touches, I'll be more than happy to post and continue. My perfectionist side keeps deleting my posts and rewriting them, for some reason. =P

[Thundercrash]

I like collabs because then I can get responses in real time, and I feel that it gets more done. That said, I understand the difficulties that can result from actually blocking out the time, so which ever works for most people here.

[Sickle-cell]

Finished my writing now, so unless anything major changes in the collab i'm done. Posts are formatted for deployment here already, so you don't have to worry about italics or colouring, what ever way we work posting it.

[Vulkan]

i believe that we may as well post now.

[Zanavy]

Well. It's done. The site didn't keep all my spacing, so it looks kinda like a jumble of confusion. I tried to keep everything exactly as it was in the Titanpad except for things that were clearly OOC or potential ideas that never actually happened. If you want to change something, PM me. But I'm only willing to take the time to change things that really affect the plot/conversation. Spelling or grammar errors will just have to stay as they are.

I think some of us (myself included) got intimidated by so much text and the possibility of people posting between previous posts so that we might never even realize they're there. Continuity mistakes were made, including one by myself, and that's a big pet peeve of mine. I like the idea of organizing a preemptive conversation outline in Titanpad, but I don't think I liked it for the actual roleplay.

This is just one opinion, though. What did you all think?

[Thundercrash]

I think the continuity mistakes just stem from not all of us being there at the same time, so it becomes harder to fit into the natural flow of conversation.

We could go back to posting here if that works better.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Zanavy I personally love the collab as a medium, but I agree that there it had a few problems as well - it would probably be better for the group if we stick to posting in the IC. It was definitely worth trying out, though :)

[Leos Klien]

Ardent hasn't translated her bullet type style in the collab...
It's still the same from earlier.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Leos Klien Yeah, I'm doing that after dinner. @Zanavy said that he didn't want to update it for spelling/grammar, but I expect/hope that it won't be a problem for the completed dialogue. If not, it'll all be there in the TitanPad document anyway.

[Zanavy]

@Ardent DawnSince you said all the while that you were planning to change bullet points to dialogue, that's fine.

[Vulkan]

I think collabs are still a good idea, although maybe we should keep it to just two or three people at a time in the future.

[Leos Klien]

Okey dokey, then I think we should stick to using the actual Rp guild in the future, and maybe perform collabs between a few people if its prudent, butt not the entire group.

[Sickle-cell]

I'd agree, solely because it's easier to post as and when we can manage, as opposed to having a set time. Not that the collab wasn't enjoyable, I'm happy with how it's turned out.

[Rethel34]

Finally back from a very snowy weekend without internet . . .
I see the collab has been posted, a mile long. Wish I could've been more involved but such is life.

[Dawnscroll]

Right, this issue boiled down to TOO MANY DAMN VOICES.

Seriously. The Titanpad page is GREAT for posting ideas and chatting with each other. But you all got lost in the sea of characters, and actions, and so forth. If theres a collab between a few people, great! But that many just made it a chore for each and everyone of you. :/

[Rethel34]

lol very true. imma take a shower and then maybe i'll get an ic post up.
