Jokes aside, that is unfortunate, this was so well planned, too.

I was just wondering, is this still ongoing? Or has it been moved? I realize the last post was a while ago, haha.

Just so you don't always have to lose your post and can start working with word.

Essentially I'll be writing and then when I try to post it says I've lost internet and then I lose my post... then I lose muse. I can't ever tell when I'm about to lose it either and I can't post on a microsoft word pad or anywhere else because it's a white background which I can't do due to my eyes... -sighs- So bear with me!

Posted by: Gaslight« on: October 18, 2014, 19:30:21 pm »Oh, I agree. There's nothing more irritating than a character who suddenly turns into a The Incredible Hulk just to prevent himself from losing a fight. It does happen a lot though, unfortunately, but after a lot of discussion I was persuaded to give people a chance to handle fight scenes themselves.
I have a randomised system that I will impose to determine who wins and who loses fights if it appears that people are abusing the discretion and god-modding/making their characters invincible, but I hope to avoid doing this since I think we're all mature enough to not do it to each other. But I agree, it's a very good idea to talk to a person if your characters are about to throw down. Some people might enjoy the uncertainty and won't want to, but if you'd like to discuss a fight scene that could potentially end in death (remember, not all fight scenes need to end in death. It's possible that another character could intervene if they're nearby or a predator could interrupt or they could both just call it a draw) then by all means go for it. I'm sure no one else would mind entertaining your ideas. Posted by: FangirlNation« on: October 18, 2014, 19:15:45 pm »Ah no, I definitely understand it a bit more now. I remember reading the immortality section and being a bit unclear, but that makes sense. If it comes to a point where there's an opening for Hanel to get killed (so long as, as you said, it was definitely something where the situation lined up) I'm fine with it. I was thinking more of the second situation, which you see a lot more often in other RPs. So, I'm totally okay with death! Though it would be nice to set things up ahead of time if wanted.
Posted by: Gaslight« on: October 18, 2014, 19:07:05 pm »Actually, the whole point of this RP is that you could potentially lose characters on a whim XD This is an area that's underdeveloped since we never reached a consensus on it, but the point was that - as long as it's not unreasonable - a character could die at the drop of the hat. I'll lay out some examples for the benefit of the new folk:
Examples of something feasible: Zaire walks out of the forest and across the open southern plains. Raj was hiding in the trees at the edge of the forest and has a bow. Raj shoots Zaire in the chest from a distance and Zaire dies. OR Zaire decides that he wants to kill Gabby. He's got Gabby pinned down and is choking him to death. Gabby's not realistically able to fight Zaire off, so he would die. Or Gabby manages to get a hold of a rock if one is nearby and smacks Zaire in the side of the head, potentially knocking Zaire off of him and surviving (for now). Examples of something not feasible: Zaire walks out of the forest and across the open southern plains. Raj is in the heart of the arena with a bow, and in the space of a single post makes it to the edge of the forest and shoots Zaire in the chest. Like... yeah, that's not going to happen. These characters don't have superhuman speed. Or Zaire decides that he wants to kill Gabby. He's got Gabby pinned down and is choking him to death. Gabby flings Zaire off of him and then stabs him with a knife in the chest. Ummm... Gabby is significantly smaller and weaker than Zaire, so how would he be able to simply throw Zaire off of him? This RP is a lot about strategy as well (probably more about strategy than mansex) so the rules were made as they were to encourage people to think tactically about what they were doing, because if you don't then the consequences could be dire. But your proposal seems fair to me. If someone approaches you with an idea for a death scene and you're willing to let Hanel die, then I'll leave it up to your discretion as to whether or not you want to go for it. Posted by: FangirlNation« on: October 18, 2014, 18:50:43 pm »Yeah I can go with that. I understand it's not cool for Hanel to get out of every confrontation scott-free, I just want to ensure I'm not going to lose him on a whim (I'm sure no one would do that, but I've had it happen in RPs before and it's very frustrating).
If it's a surprise he can be mortally wounded and if I can't find a solution he's gone. If they've approached me beforehand we can set up the death scene so I'm prepared, and can have another character waiting in the wings. Is that fair? Posted by: Gaslight« on: October 18, 2014, 18:30:59 pm »@FangirlNation
So kind of like a qualified immortality then? XD The death can definitely be done, the maiming I'm not so sure. I'm sure people will respect the fact that you don't want Hanel's arm or leg to be hacked off, but he can't be invulnerable from all kinds of grave injury (even if it's by surprise) otherwise it's pretty pointless having him in a survival RP. I think what we agreed on at the beginning of the RP was that if an 'immortalised' character ends up losing a fight with/being ambushed by another character, he'll be gravely wounded and won't be playable for a certain of period of time (I forget how long it was. I'll look it up for you since I can't remember if it's in the rules or floating somewhere in the early annals of the discussion thread). Just to make things fair: those of us who are fine with character death will literally lose a character we've spent potentially months developing, so it wouldn't be fair if an 'immortalised' character could escape completely without any consequences. Thank you for bringing it up though, it's reminded me to find out where the new players stand on character death. I'll add another section to the Updates thread to list which characters are immortalised and which aren't. So a shout out to everyone (old and new): POST HERE TO STATE WHETHER YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTERS TO BE KILLABLE OR NOT. Posted by: FangirlNation« on: October 18, 2014, 18:15:31 pm »Okay, that sounds good and answers all the questions I had! Oh, and I'd like to put Hanel up for immortality through the RP. I mean I could definitely discuss his death or maiming with someone if they had a good idea, but like no surprise death please.
Posted by: Gaslight« on: October 18, 2014, 14:54:44 pm »Yes, I am a master at organisation and self-promotion. Let no one tell you otherwise.
Oh, and I meant to answer this as well: Also, should we propose a meet-up between the two sub and dom groups for now? Unless everyone currently already has a direction they're going in. As a general rule, we're not organising anything as a group. It's every man for themselves. If you'd like to interact with a certain character then it's up to you to orchestrate it by going to find him (all the characters' positions are noted down and you should know where everyone is from reading the RP anyway). But you're perfectly welcome to try and work things out with individual members, if you'd so like. For my group in particular - which is the problem group considering it's where almost all the doms are - I can't see us moving far anytime soon considering one of the number is unconscious. But maybe they will, all depends on Kaz's reply to see what Alann wants to do about the situation. You'd need to speak to Kitten and Kira about where their characters are at. But your own characters can always venture to the western forest or the north where the other groups are if you want to find more people (just make sure you don't do any weird timeskips that would interrupt what other players are doing). This is mostly because the main point of the RP isn't to hook up, it's... well, to survive. I think it would definitely be interesting to get some fights between characters going down soon though. |
