Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll start a RP... anyone familiar w/ Alien Nine? Or Haibane Renmei? Those are two great series I'd like to base a RP off of (not using the original characters though... )

inactivity is easy to fix:

if the roleplays you like are inactive, join them and be active.

if there are no roleplays you like, create them and make them active.

inactivity is not everyone else's fault!

i am thinking of polaris, round 2... but i don't know if i should do it here or in the forums again. i want to do it here but no one joins any rps. is anyone from the original polaris still around?

i am.. my god i would love it if you brought polaris back! I'm still subscribed to the original polaris thread..

Never heard of alien nine, or haibane renmei.. Feel free to start rps based on those.. I'm thinking of making rps based off of Bleach and/or Naruto((though i doubt they'd be very popular... but y'never know.))


I'm very sorry that i haven't gotten around to working on the guild very often.. I've been rping in a few forum rps((which need more people.. two are arranged marriage rps))

i know T.T..... I actually used to keep checking up on it for a year or so

whoa whoa, hold on to your horses, all. ^_^; i said i was thinking of bringing polaris back. it is contingent on a couple of other things.

first, activity. if there's not enough activity, i won't do polaris in the guild. and if the guild stays as dead as it is, i probly won't bother at all.

second, inspiration. i have to rewrite the mystery - otherwise everyone who played last time will just blow all the mystery for everyone else. that's not easy to do:

• it has to make sense, or people will just get confused tryin to solve it
  
• it has to be logical, or people will either never guess the answer or just throw up their hands and go "oh, come on!" when they do
  
• it can't be too easy or too complex, or people will just solve it right away or never solve it
  
• it has to be closed-room, or it will just be impossible to solve (and it has to be believably closed-room)
  
• it has to have no loose ends, or people will end up chasing the loose ends and not the main mystery
  
• it has to have clues obvious enough to grab you in and keep you moving toward the answer while being mysterious enough to leave you wondering
  
• and ideally, it has to require cooperation to solve

it took me weeks, with indi's help, to come up with the story for the first polaris. i don't think anyone realized how difficult that was to pull off: explaining why the computer had no answers, why they couldn't just radio for help, etc.... and don't forget the wickedness of the clues like "sleeping beauty", the ship being all smashed up, the suicide and "you must all love each other or die". only one person that i know of figured out what was going on last time. ^_^; i can't just pull something like that out of thin air, and this time i don't have indi's help.

and this time, if i do it, i intend to make it much bigger and more involved, and i intend to chase down people to post. i am not gonna have people waste *my* time and effort cause *they* are lazy.

so, don't hold your breath.

in the short term i might do something simpler here in the guild just to kick up the activity. i been meaning to ask sa if i can use an old idea of hers, but she hasn't been around since she updated her story last.

it did not strike my fancy.
