I'd rather do it now so that your characters can socialise and interact for a while before I come back.


Lewis is going to have a few choice words (and fists) for Crowley next time they meet.

I'm giddy.

I, for one, like social elements. They build more character dynamics than just having people fighting side-by-side, as well as doing it naturally.

How do you believe I could worked more "social elements" in while keeping roughly the same plot of this arc?

This is just to hear your opinions and see how I can incorporate some next time.

I don't really know. I personally thought that the balance between fighting and social-element-ing was pretty good, actually.

The obvious answer would be to wait longer before the timeskip.

The invasion of Hell really should have been longer.

The same could be said for the attack on the school.

Having a possible combat encounter where charming will actually do something, as opposed to whatever happened with this one. There was one post about it, then it was pretty much pointless. Making the encounter possible to be talked past, assuming nobody mentions how they are storming hell.

Thats just off the top of my (rather depressed and uncreative) mind.

I think a good way to space it out would be to simply switch back and forth between combat and non-combat. Have the intro as normal, then have a battle. Then, have the school recovering after that battle while allowing for more social interaction. Then, another battle. Just keep doing that until you get through the plot. It would make for some much better pacing.

Olthar always has good plans.

We don't go to Elfen High for good plans! SHE MUST BE DESTROYED!

I have to agree. Some characters were left in the dust for no good reason, Ivy being one of them. Jade almost was too, until I had James wake up and walk into her.

Well, the dropping off of characters had more to do with a lack of direction, but there's not much Nightkill should do about it. That's really more up to the players to figure out ways for their characters to get involved. If you're not interacting with anyone, then make them interact with you.

If you're irritable enough that you're snapping at other people, maybe you should take a break to cool off before you say something you might regret, okay? :hug:

Ivy was a bit left in the dust at the beginning, but that was probably because I didn't make that much of an effort to constantly keep up. Plus, she got involved by the time the demons attacked the school, and that was good enough for me.

Also, Met, maybe you should chill out a bit. You sound a little bit ticked.
