Kuro Okami I need to apologize to anyone who I offended last night, I had a horrible day yesterday and was feeling a bit pissy. If I took it out on anyone I apologize, but I do not apologize for my opinions, I also believe that I did not contradict myself. You not only contradicted yourself; you did it in a very straightforward manner. Your argument was that multiple storylines made it easier and more appealing for rookies to integrate into the story, yet you said we should get rid of all the threads that represent the multiple storylines that have been presented in the guild and are still central to some plots. In a nutshell, you argue for more diversity and variety while getting rid of the platform for such diversity by getting rid of threads.

Everyone knows that disuse of the Dojo has rendered it obsolete. The main attractions of the place to IC interest is completely gone, and the inspiration OOC to RP there is decayed beyond recognition. I've said it time and time again, the citadel has replaced the Dojo's function. The difference being that instead of regenerating, it simply blocks out those that would cause it harm.
Multiple storylines have never really served as a problem, or a boon. The multiple storylines in the past rarely reached beyond characters having different reasons to gain power, or different agendas. Personal issues were dealt with privately either IC or OOC, and their relevance was mirrored only by the choices of the characters in these tiny campaigns of power.
The BC is mercenaries, and those mercs work for the warlords. Our warlords are our villains, and the one person who was acting a leader for the sake of good ( 9 - Despite the fact that she did a meager job, but had substantial backup like Focht.) was the only effort to keep a central enemy. Since, TJ has obviously shown little if any interest in leading the protagonistic role in this guild as it's IC leader. He's played the main villain in the past, and as such he's suited to that role and that role alone. It's in his blood, so to speak.
Obviously he can play Mas as the 'Good-guy' of the Citadel, it's leader and operator, but such is barely a change in function. A murered against the cops who is in fact the focal point of a story is in fact the protagonist, despite it's viewpoint or desires. As such, we can concluse that TJ only excercises his IC rights and responsibilities from the villain's perspective, thus making the Citadel the obvious replacement, and changing the Guild primarily from light against darkness, to darkness repelling light.
The sooner the guild realises it's new situation and adapts to it, the sooner we'll see things come together. Either try and slay our villains, or help the villains to survive, or flounder. My goals are obvious, the destruction of the Citadel, it's villain, and his lackeys remains the main goal. No amount of our darling moderator simply whining over the loss of her character developement will undo 3 years of amassed Ic roleplay.
Simply put, she and every other person who joins a villain knows exactly what they're getting into when they do so. Even if they ae innocent, not all forces of good are as pure as they advertise. There are true people tied to the Dojo, some of which are fanatical in their quest to destroy the innocent and vile of their enemies alike.
So let's justdo this the old fashioned way, blood and gore and defending the babies as best we can, lest their whining implode our brains and spam our threads.

In regard to multiple storylines, I suggest making a subforum for those, and keep the main storyline material in the main forum. That would make it less cluttered, as threads for side stories (gaidens?) wouldn't be intercolated in the main storyline threads.
And, uh, where should a newbie start out in the guild? Are the headquarters still at Draeken's Mansion, or should I meander over to the rebuilding dojo? AND who should I see?

Lets see I have a list of things to say ^^;
First, hello everyone. Teh Yotsy is kinda home again. She recently got married IRL and has been moving from the east coast to the west. Things are starting to slow down, that's why I'm able to post.
Secondly, Sorry for not being around. Though I don't think much of anyone noticed I was gone.
Third, damn you Focht for being active when I'm not! *grumbles*
Lastly, I probably have no say so but I thought I'd throw in my opinion. I've glanced over the recent sqauble about clutter on the main forum and I'm going to have to say I agree with Noxvayon about creating a subforum. But that would all depend on how big an issue the clutter is. Maybe a poll amoung us members to see if it's really an issue or not? Then take it from there? Perhaps?
Anyway, teh Yotsy is somewhat back. She wont be on too much for about four more days or so. Waiting on the internet guy to come and give me internet so I can stop stealing someone elses sweatdrop
Until then~
-- Teh Yotsy!

All of the storylines in this guild are in the same time and dimension, so there's no real way to separate them. With any luck, the people at Draeken's mansion should be helping to fix the dojo soon enough anyway. At the dojo, talk to Focht; at the mansion, talk to D.

[ KB ] Could always delete en masse. xd I agree subforums are a good idea... maybe break them down my geographical area or something... problem being someone has to have a plan before you start all that. Point is we could always improve the BC, its just how we get there that I think we need to discuss.

Thanatos_M Tsk.... this battle in the universal thread nearly knocked me out in disbelief less than halfway through. sweatdrop I'd need more than one of Nana's brooms to clean that up... Gee, thanks. However, I don't care about your opinion, so the only thing I can think of to say right now is '******** you'. xp

My personal suggestion runs along the lines of the subforum one. However instead of keeping the subforum along the main BC timeline, I'd prefer if it were outside of the BC entirely in respects to IC. New characters, new areas, fresh start. Maybe a couple of guest-appearances by the more reputable people from time to time, but nothing major.
In essence, I think that a subforum should include all aspects of roleplay, but be completely different. A single subforum, as tracking multiple would be annoying.
Furthermore, I suggest that this subforum have a mod made for it. Someone who can run it, aside from Mas or Nana. They can supervise content, but that should be the extent of their influence. We can all see already the damage they've caused, though that might just be my own personal view.
In any case, if the members agree, I think they should collectively vote and choose on a context and someone to be a crewmember to lead this subforum's operations. I think that in the case of this issue the members should have the power, as it would be made for the members.
Suggestions?

I agree with KB. A subforum with a mod made specifically for it would be a wise choice. I also agree with the voting concept. Power to the people!
EDIT: It would also make less people complain about the mods if one was elected.

I despise democracy.
Before I go along with any of KB's attempts to get himself rallied to a mod position, it'd need more backing and reasoning.
Geographical divisions? The threads do that more efficiently on their own without subforums. An entirely new RP? Maybe..... but in all sincerity people should go to other guilds for different RPs.
As I said before, I think the only thread currently worth a subforum is the Dojo itself, but dividing its rooms into threads may make it more difficult and unpleasant to go around.
Maybe if there was more guild activity in places other than the citadel I would be more inclined to listen to the ideas for a subforum.
