Well, there is a bunch of things to talk about this time around. Most have to do with the rules. Besides that, I hope that many people comment in here about matters. I get the feeling that many people don’t want to. stare In any case, please comment, I like opinions.
Massive Roleplay
Yes, the Massive Roleplay is open. Has been for a few weeks. So, post to your heart’s content. As well, be sure to check the setting before posting. It gives info as to what time of day it is in The Other World, important information as to the storyline, and how many days one has been in the world. I’m looking forwards to many more introductory posts and more posts in general.
Banning and Whatnot
Well, more warnings have been sent out. A few people have decided to leave the guild and one person was banned. I can see that inactivity is a big deal. Most people don’t post 3 times per week and honestly, if people joined, they agreed to the rules. So, to help a busy, only crew member out, please don’t break the rules. It takes a lot of time to send those things out.
Rules
I’m thinking of changing some rules, particularly the ‘5 well-developed sentences per post’ one. It will probably be upgraded to 7-8 sentences per post, about one paragraph. So, if you’d like to keep with the original rule, post 5 sentences per post at minimum. If you’re having trouble with that, check out this thread. It can help you out.
Contest
There may be a contest in the near future. What type of contest? Simple, one in which we create another massive roleplay for those who are not interested in Fantasy ones. So, that means there will be two of different genres. The details will be coming out soon but, if you’re interested in having your roleplay idea become a massive one for the whole guild, then I guess you should start thinking, yes?
Crew
Yes, I’m think of having active people join. Which means that if you’re active and haven’t gotten a warning, you can qualify. As well, I have to be able to trust you. Yes, I trust all of you with my life, but with my child’s life? I’m not too sure. For that reason, here is the application forum.[b]Application[/b]
[b]Gaia name:[/b]
[b]Qualifications:[/b]
[b]Have you ever gotten a Warning?[/b]
[b]Why do you think you should be a crew member?[/b] That’s all there is I ask. So send that to me, blue_angel_forever, with the title of ‘Application for Crew’

My wittle comment.
7 or 8 sentences?!?!
- faints -
I think you should just ban all the people that have not yet posted once, unless they joined recently. They're probably not gonna post in the future if they haven't already.
Are you going to have a contest thread in the OOC subforum or are you going to make another subforum for contest?

7 or 8 sentences?
-starts writing 5 well-developed sentences-
And I want to be a crew member, but I got 2 warning!
No offence, but I think the rule's a little harsh.
Or maybe it's cause I'm not used to this stuff...
It's really hard for me to write 5 sentences, especially when there's nothing I can think of, and everyone's waiting for me to post. I have to do something dramatic, and after a few times of posting, I run out of dramatic stuff, then I think the rp will get boring, unless someone else is more creative and comes up with dramatic stuff... ( run-on sentece )
But I'll try writing 5 sentences...

 Your grandmother is the only one who pretends she doesn't know its you..
Uhm, in my opinion considering us who DO post, and post on a normal basis are having trouble posting 5 well developed sentances all the time, I think that anyone else who may be new or not as literate or have as much time would die trying to post 7-8 and god knows half of us wont read the whole paragraph gonk As it is, I think we should lower the expectation a little bit, to 5 well devolped sentances minimum but let a few two liners slide because sometimes chars kinda half to stand there and wait to force themselves into a situation, now if someone posts like a one liner, and you can easily think of 3 ways to make it longer : Then warn them? I don't know its just my opinion. And, on another note, I agree with Hikaru on the banning thing, unless they're already a part in the roleplay and are just gone for a while ban them if they haven't posted for so many weeks. Just don't ban Ryuu o.o We need him!
So she can give you candy when you trick-or-treat.

I agree with Angel and Ryuu on the sentence rule. Sometimes, especially in fights, you don't really have much to do. Not a lot of people talk between attacks. And you can't really type a whole lot about how your character attacks another character. If you attack someone, it only takes two sentences. Then you have to wait for the other person to post. Or you'd be god-moding. Yea...I find it hard to post 5 well develpoed sentences, since my character seems to get into a lot of fights...

Ask takercoh to put in his opinion. Think she'll change it if the majority of us agree?

I agree, as I said in the OOC, sometimes a conversation really is a conversation. When I talki to my friends, I don't usually notice something new about them everytime I speak, or even move much, well except my hands...I'm italian. I think 5 sentences is a good idea but not always necessary

4/6 I guess we just have to wait for her reaction. : I would love to be a crew member but she gave me a warning not long ago.
