Player Input Needed
Okay, we have something of a situation regarding a lack of activity on site.
Admittedly, it's not the players' fault, but this isn't about pointing fingers. This is about addressing the issue.
I would like each and every one of you to vote in the poll. Because we have a decision to make and I'd like to make it as a site.
The concept of an over-arching storyline is falling on its face. Intended plot points are being lost and players are being lost in the jumble.
The question is simple. We can simply erase all RP and let the players keep the accumulated points, and open up RP for players across all Nations, to go where they will and do what they will.
Or we can try to salvage this storyline and continue.
Or we can do something completely different.
Make your preferences known, please.

Re: Player Input Needed
There isn't a lock on Open Rp anyway just all that are here are mixed up in the plot topics anyway.

That's the idea, Darkness.
We abolish all topics DIRECTLY dealing with the storyline. Then, people aren't tied up, and can do as they please.

Re: Player Input Needed
why? what topics are directly dealing with it, apart from the main story itself that we are currently RPing in. I vote no. the progress is slow, but it's fun. And to me it sounds like your saying delete the main RP Thread, so we are all free to do absolutely nothing. *shrug *

Re: Player Input Needed
Cru, what we're suggesting is an abrupt "fast-forward" or something similar.
The plot's been foiled, everyone's in place wherever they want to be, things can move on from there.
The fact that progress is so slow is what has me suggesting this, so that we can get activity going in more areas than just the storyline.
There is an alternative, though, since it looks like most of you want to continue with the storyline.
Open up Alternaverse/Timeline.
You can play during the "current timeline" or you can do what-if scenarios in different times, places, circumstances.
Special circumstances, like timeline notations or what-if situations, could be noted in the description part of the Thread title, but it would create the opportunity to explore other stories without being locked in by the storyline.
Right now I'm just looking for something to create more opportunity for activity since things *are* so slow in the main storyline.

Re: Player Input Needed
I like where things as they are, it may be slow but it is fun. I just got involved in the storyline so I'd hate to see it go. I think doing an Alternaverse/Timeline will just jumble things up more.
Perhaps we need to rethink our advertisement strategy to attract more players.

Re: Player Input Needed
I'm considering it.
Or simply a Timeskip forward to get something moving.
I'm not sure yet because I've got things falling down around my head on other sites. I'll try to get something going by the end of the week.

Re: Player Input Needed
I have been wracking my brain trying to find a way to get things moving again and have been, largely, unsuccessful.
So it looks like I'm left with no alternative.
I'm going to have to fast-forward events to quite a degree.
Lei'Ahree has been formally installed as Keeper of Astraea. There was some nastiness on the journey, when Tiernan revealed that he was part of a plot to take over the Crystals and, ultimately, steal them and all magic from Artegal as a whole by the Mages of Glaisne. Teirnan was supposed to kidnap and break Leia so that she could be used as a puppet by the Mages. In acting against his masters, Teirnan signed his death warrant, but it was ultimately worth it because the cousin he'd though dead had been raised as part of the Emperor's own household, and was his sister-by-adoption.
So Leia's in Astraea, as Keeper. Miuka is with her. Crucent, you can say that your character is staying there or journeying as a Handmaiden Ambassador or whatever you want.
Leia, Miuka, and Tsukiko are all being relegated to NPC status. I will bring them out when needed for events or plots or whatever, but it looks like I'm not going to be able to play any of them consistently.
If someone has a good idea for an Event, lemme know 'cause I just can't seem to run them.
I'll come up with a new character when I'm able, until then, don't let me hold you back.

Re: Player Input Needed
And now I got no idea what to do or where my characters are =\
Eh if one must be sacrificed to save a site then so be it I guess.

Re: Player Input Needed
Yes, you can RP anywhere you wish. As soon as I figure out a new character I'll join in, but it's open season on locations and stuff.
I'm sorry, Darkness, that this complicates matters for you.
The Mages lost their agent, but they're still in power in Glaisne, at least over the government and such. If you still want Odin, though, we can say that Tiernan passed him on before he died, if only to spite the Mages.

Re: Player Input Needed
I just not sure.....I am tired of constantly running around trying to reset up....this is the second time you done this Grizz......sorta getting old.
EDIT
But considering how you are trying and it isn't the third time I should try to be active and help the site.
That and with current developments I'll be more incline to just not be near some sites.
If anyone wants to contact me *unlikely but just to be on the safe side* I'll be normally found on Xat, just don't be turned away if it takes me a moment to respond. I might be on other tabs.
