[H4X]

-.- hmm, guess this means another time skip is due yeah?  

[H4X]

First question is has anyone heard from whoever we're actually waiting on? That's the big issue I suppose

You're right about us just getting into the same situation though, I guess Nek saying we should give up managing the timelines between the threads is the right way to go but the problem is that one way two people just run wild posting through days at a time... the other way we get bottlenecked entirely since everyone gets involved in anything going on and we have to wait for however long it takes for someone to post.

Honestly I don't know what to do either since we will just be stuck again whatever we do, you are right about that.
We can't exactly be fair for everyone since this happens where we're stuck... any way I look at it it still comes back to the whole 'experience' crap shouldn't work as it was being said before.

I do admit I'm confused as to why everyone decided to always gather in one thread and keep starting plot points ontop of each other though...  

[H4X]

I guess it's just me being pissed that for an RP which is suppose to have some kind of experience system factored into it, that we stop again and again and move so little when we actually mange to get moving again..

Uhhm, I suppose the rest is seeing the whole bit where if I see one story going on usually Bao or Nek decides to jump in with their plots on top of whatever is going on to the point where we've maybe moved through a week in everything that's been going on since once one of their stories starts everyone gathers in the thread they're using and we have to slow down for the rotation.  

[H4X]

Ok, Nar here's a version of that just for you... Just assume I have so little to do with my life that I can afford to be pissed off that this RP moves a post a day or less for me.

I'm used to where I could post in an RP and get someone replying twenty minutes later at most.


That version work for you Nar?  

[H4X]

Errm, I guess I wasn't clear then about the plot bit

It's not pointless, I was trying to get across that it's just annoying how it seems like whenever one person starts something with the plot then another will decide to force their own plot over the first

That make sense?

edit: Though I do admit, I wouldn't mind if we quit it with the guild wide plot developments for a while and return to the smaller individual stories. The big guild events usually last around a month or two when people are active for them. That can't exactly work since it's hard to expect anyone to stick around for one plot at that length of time.

My point of view of the plots as things have been
1. Log in see if someone posted this week
2. Soon get frustrated that this is being drawn out
3. (Optional) That frustration results in anger at watching people run wild with their ability to post like mad when you're online while you're stuck.
4. Have enough time to care about the little details that someone's ignoring or writing off, resulting in a OOC fight.
5. Become annoyed at the cop out ending pulled to get out of the plot development
6. Get angry/frustrated anew at the lack of anyone wanting to RP (due to I assume either my actions, or their own dissatisfaction with the RP as it was) and begin posting to myself resulting in my own stories becoming crap little skirmishes between my own characters and no one else.


edit2: I probably sound like a brat, selfish, or whatever phrasing it like that, but to me the whole point of being in an RP is entertainment, not doing something that you feel you have to fight over more then your work. Or at least that's how it comes out when I make it simple while being extremely pissed at a lot  

[H4X]

Nar, aren't you the person running the Bao steel account?( I mean I obviously could be wrong because A) no one has told me who runs the account and B) my shot in the dark is because his signature is hosted on your photobucket account.) I'm not feeling left out so much as wanting to be left out of that person's plot, just for the fact that engaging machinery or nameless forces who are apparently always a step ahead in terms of straight and you're left absolutely in the dark with their skill sets.

Right now you're right, maybe I do need to go and RP by myself in a Barton Town RP just so I stop keeping this as my primary RP, I really don't know since as it is I'm just letting myself get fed up over and over since sadly even when I was being left out I was having more fun then I am now. Maybe that's because my character is suppose to have progressed but seems to have stayed in the same place if not lost skill.

You are right about people leaving or being busy, and so I admit people would get left out, but right now when I look back at the way the Bao Steel plot runs my leaving in the middle of any of them wouldn't have halted the RP for everyone as what's happening now with Reeve, Tut, or whoever we're actually waiting on.

Basically I just hate getting forced to the sidelines, I mean character growth is nonexistent anymore so I don't see how my character could get to the point of graduating the Nameless minion phase to actually matter again in one of those plots against a player character.

As for my saying we should run smaller groups to move faster... Well if you look back it was being done anyway and they obviously were having more fun because of it even though this is a guild and they could have been running it elsewhere.

As for leaving people's names out, I feel saying who falls into what will change this from a discussion to argument. Hence why I left that information out in hopes of being vague enough to be civil about it.  

[H4X]

*clutches head* Ok, first the mechs and weird space stuff. Both of those have been around for a while. The mech was in fact Neko's idea of how I should fight his robot. He said he figured I'd just pull a mech out of subspace or something at the time and I went ahead with it. Originally the stupid ring thing was just going to fight the mech.

The throwing someone into space bit is because the simple version is that Lina's version of the subspace pocket is flawed unlike neko's lab. I mostly suggested it as a joking way to allow for Iri to let her characters have a place to train in a vacuum. It wasn't more then a page or two before Dalcon went and broke through the roof of that.

As for the rest of the futuristic junk you're right it's bullshit and I know it. I also would like to point out it's only uses have been against Nek's forces who were using their own sci-fi worthy gear. Dalcon being 'thrown out into splace' resulting from removing science fiction worthy implants that aren't standard medical jutsu removal as far as I know.

Oh and the flying, if you mean Rai Shushin is something my character learned from trial and error of copying her sensei while she had him. It and Rai blades were techniques she had been working on before the change over, considering time passed and she saw both techniques enough to finish her own versions make sense?

I do agree I choose to leave and maybe I do choose to leave and you're right whatever. Simple answer here is I'm just going to shut up then. I've explained my part and who I explained it to doesn't see it as I see it, so I suppose that's all I can say.

No, it's not a lie, one relates to the other. Because I'm forced to the sidelines fights against nameless foes or the machinery I thus want to be left out of that person's plot. Fighting against a team of completely blank/unknown characters that would in the end have no effect on the others fight as they could one shot it due to their characters 'higher experience' rating that over something of an unknown nature seems a pointless waste of time. I guess it's the fighting the unknown skill level of technique base, I mean I understand that in reality that's how things would work, but in an RP to me that drops it to pointless fighting when there's the big player character brawl going on next door so to speak. Because that unknown nature protects the person GMing the RP for if someone they feel is a big hitter wants to come over and take care of the problem. I've seen it done plenty of times before and maybe I'm alone in thinking it's a sort of ******** off to people that's letting them participate, only they're in a different box on a shelf somewhere while everyone else is on the table.

I suppose I can't expect anyone else to understand what my point of view is. I've tried to say it but I'm obviously not making enough sense.

Though I guess given my mood this week I probably have even less chance of making sense.
