I've never been aware of any commerce catering to over all story, and not just little personal plot arcs that a best buddy or two can come on.

I suppose by part that's how all of Gaia works, but I've always preferred a bit of overarching theme, objective. Something that characters can be a part of rather than being a little game to be a part of some characters.

Used to...

Now, I don't really know what to do with Dzan any more.

I know one of the old FFA guys is trying to redo the FFA in a GGN. I know Clash is probably going to join in on it.

Commerce needs some broader locations.

Like an actual village or town, or even a trading depot or castle.

Something besides a bar, holy ********:: For reasons beyond the redundancy of having a 100 bars in the middle of nowhere, it would also help a lot with having larger plots that don't involve "lol drunk" and "fite ovur wimmenz" and "omg preggerz."

I thought Clash retired?

I haven't seen Clash on since that Valdez thing... or, well, pre-HoH when he was gonna be on our team. I figured he had found another site, or has just been busy irl.

Is he on a new account or something?

The FFA, huh? Ehh...I don't know. That doesn't seem exactly like a plot-generating atmosphere. :/...I remember back when I was in the FFA...it was just pure ridiculousness. No real storyline or thematic integrity...just a bunch of black holes.

And I agree, Darth. People make bars for hangouts too much. It doesn't turn into a roleplay so much as they pretend they're the characters and just act like themselves. I think we have plenty of bars already, and just because Commerce is limited to "trade" roleplays doesn't mean bars are the only source of income.

Castles would be a fun idea. :3

I'm actually more in the mood for a nap.

...I should probably also ask you which post you're supposed to bug me to make. Crazy family, cramped house, Summer laziness. Awesome combo for napping, but not much else.

Indeed.

We shall see. If I go there I'm taking Dzan. Which means a whole lot more skulls to add or he dies by some giant power hungry surfer dude that has the mind to collapse worlds.

Hmm this Prototype game is quite interesting.

I would like to see something like a trade depot of sorts. Handful of PCs that make stuff running a small location with all their shops in it. Since it seems like the whole "one shop one thread" bit never works. So maybe having a handful of different crafter/artificer characters working in tandem would be better.

I had a castle running a while back, but I never even got it off the ground. Then again, I didn't try to generate much interest in it because I got busy with rl, but the thread is still somewhere in the depths of Commerce.

EDIT:: What's his new account name? Was he the guy imitating Wolverine? For someone reason that guy reminded me of Clash xd

The power-hungry surfer dude thing is what caused me to abandon that place in the first place. :/...

...that, and reality-altering psychics...

...and invincible death-mists...

...

Yeah...it's just a breeding ground for arguments. Sucks all of the fun out of roleplay.

@Darth: Wonder if anyone's ever done that with like...an airship. You know...a traveling RP setting that went from location to location, so people could roleplay in passing. Hell, most roleplays with random encounters last for like...a day. Might as well give good reason to that with some sort of mass transportation vehicle/terminal.
