Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Vega Venetia - VGNB - Vale - Drury Lanes - Arcade - TIME CRISIS!

Vega then led Gratia with her to the ARCADE. Glittering with Arcade machines and lights she then noticed an arcade machine that lighted up her eyes. Time Crisis 2, she remembered playing that game at home whenever her cousins would come to party. On the screen it said *insert lien*.

“Let’s play Time Crisis 2. I remembered playing this a lot when I was a kid!” She then inserted her Lien and the cheesiest game intro started to play. She laughed inside her mind as it was funny and cliché. “Game is easy to play. Just have your foot ready on the pedal. It is used for going in and out of cover. Then just shoot every baddie you see.” Vega was much less reserved though the feeling still lingered around her as she readied herself as the game started.

Thank you for the welcome! I'll write something good, you'll see :p As a general rule of thumb, I ask first: What kind of character is lacking in the current cast? Which kind of character should I make, that would either complement or antagonize others?

Should I make a snob? A bully? A popular figure?

I'll go with replacing Bianca Nuit, as it seems that group would be pretty much set after getting in--It seems BAST lacks 3 members at the moment.

Edit: I can go to another group, seeing Shadow here's hoping for Write to come back :p

@Frettzo

I have nothing against you.:P Write's character, Bianca is a crucial part of our team since pretty much VGNB are all from Mistral and have close relations before going to Beacon.

No worries. I'm trying to prove a point to someone.

@Lugubrious

If you can wait for @Write for just one more week please do. I'm just hoping she comes back.

Vega Venetia – VGNB – Vale – By Gratia side

Vega heard Venetia’s voice while she was on her phone. She then let out a deep sigh and she placed her phone back in her bag and caught up to her. “It would have been nice if you sit with me. I’m so tired right now. Anyway how was your exploration of Vale been so far?”

The streets were a lot less busy which Vega relished in her mind. She got tired and annoyed by the fact she had to walk through crowds of people in the other districts the amount of flirtatious remarks she both got from both sexes, mainly students.

Remember this is slice of life so if your stuck on what to post, remember RL life. We RP as students and what do they do? Socialize, have adventures such as going hiking or taking a trip to the city etc. I was just waiting to see if their were more posts.

Going to make mine tomorrow.

Fallout Nation Roleplay stagnation

@VATROU

Sure. Lets take it to the PM's.

Fallout Nation Roleplay stagnation

@shadowkiller912We haven't had a GM for NRPs. So things like that have gotten out of hand. It's why Aldin and Andro moved things so fast to avoid anyone interfering where they shouldn't be able to.

@VATROU

Oh now I remember lol. You do make a point that Aldin and Andro moved things fast. The way I see it is that the decentralized nature of our NRPS in which we simply try to solve things democratically does not do good.

@shadowkiller912I think a good minimum post rule should be about five paragraphs. Too much more and it stops being casual. I still think we may need a few general rules. Perhaps a rule to allow GMs to intervene should a situation get out of hand arguments or meta gaming where Players just somehow know what the others are up to without sending scouts or learning first hand.

@VATROU

Well, its always a gm responsibilities to manage arguments. But we need a rule to on metagaming.

Fallout Nation Roleplay stagnation

@shadowkiller912What other things do you think we might need as rules go?

@VATROU

We should follow what village said on NRP's. @Vilageidiotx Along with that implement a rule for minimum post rule to be five to ten paragraphs. That way RPers would be forced to write out a detailed storied post like in Precipice instead short simple posts like for example "Alaska executes new monetary policy."

For a good nation RP, you have to break the tendency for people to think of the nations themselves as the characters. People do that and yeh, they'll RP like they are writing an AAR for Civ or EU. You gotta break them of that, and teach them to build their stories from the ground up by focusing on the individuals that make up the nation. Don't imagine cultures as CIA fact book stats, imagine them as individuals going through their lives. The government is the leaders and their personalities, the military is another culture of individuals with their own sets of challenges, etc etc.

It's best if you allow things to grow organically. Don't try to GM the RP using artificial tricks, just enforce some reasonable behavior. It's better to enforce realism within the world you are creating rather than creating barriers to power and access that might end up smothering the RP instead. The Big nations will be bogged down in logistics while the lesser ones are constrained by resources. Enforcing these sorts of things won't kill combat and action, but rather will keep it focused so that storytelling can blossom.

Other than that, having a current lack of RPers in beth hampers our NRP revival chances. We could start an INT check and implement what village said just to see if the others are willing to go for another shot at an NRP.

@shadowkiller912 What if we added a rule to describe the general population's current attitude? Say we make trade deals and such and the citizenry aren't too happy with the other Nation for whatever reason, be it bitter relations or how they treat certain casts of individuals bigotry with Mutants and the like.

@VATROU

Ah, public opinion. If you remember we do have sections were people have to fill out the nations opinion on slavery and mutants. I think that RPers need to remember or put it in as a rule that "RPers must always take into account the citizenry opinion realistically of policy decision both domestically (domestic policy decision such as on increasing taxes or downsizing the military) and internationally (deals made between nations such as a communist country ally with fascists or a nation agreeing to house foreign troops )."

Usually I'd rather prefer RPers to take this into account when NRPing but in our case, it needs to be a rule.
