Elfen High 2 (OOC 5, Closed)

[Nationstatelandsville]

Which is why Hard doesn't.

Just to prevent a fight.

I'm not saying that Hard does that - not at all, actually.

Who are you, where's Ende, and can we keep you?

[Ende]

And this is why part of me cries to this day.

This is also more or less why I've had to smack people so many times in Shazzridar's Tower. I keep trying to subtly guide the players to the answers, but they all just refuse to do anything on their own, and I have to solve all the problems for them just to keep the RP alive.

Coughcoughcoughalsoknownasrailroadingcough.

If they want to stumble around like idiots, you should let them!

There's a point where it becomes absurd, though.

I've done that far more than I really should have. It took them 31 rounds just to open a single door. It should have happened in half that time.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

That's kind of their problem, then.

A good RPer generally doesn't go "herp derp, Bob shoots things with his gun and this is boring let's move on from fighting now".

Which is why Hard doesn't.

Just to prevent a fight.

No, no, Ende has a good point there.

I do tend to end up just shooting things. Part of that is admittedly my fault - I always try for the straightforward method because that's how I've made James' character think, and unfortunately events tend to conspire to prevent James' fights from progressing to "shooting didn't work, better go punch bitches in the dick." When he has to fall back on hand-to-hand (or a sword), the posts do tend to be better - The fight with Faemien was pretty decent purely because it wasn't just "hurr durr shoot you in the haed", there was an intentional (on my part) detailed lead-up beforehand.

Wait, 31 rounds just to open a single door?

Fuck that shit. Railroading is a good idea.

If we consider that there's more or less one round of posting a day...

My. Fucking. God.

@Hard: So we should knock the gun out of James' hands? .

Despite the poor reception, I actually liked the Faemien fight.

Even if it was an abrupt end.

[Nationstatelandsville]

You know, this morning, I said to myself "Jon, today you're going to write 1000 words in your new novel".

And then Elfen High happened.

And then Elfen High happened.

Well, I said to myself "I'm gonna make ALL the posts!"

Then BG happened. .

Yep. I was going to finish making a map of a museum for my new Dice RP. That's not happening today.

[Ende]

You know, this morning, I said to myself "Jon, today you're going to write 1000 words in your new novel".

And then Elfen High happened.

Today, I started a new job, mainly involving the care of smelly, loud, and not-terribly-bright creatures.

I'm still not sure whether I'm a teacher at a high school or a dog walker.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Why the hell do I watch The Daily Show?

All this does is remind me how absolutely fucked I am.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

...So Richard was Pride, then?

Or am I just confused?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

...So Richard was Pride, then?

Or am I just confused?

You're confused.

[Olthar]

I suppose it also doesn't particularly help the RP when the three most important characters are all controlled by the OP.

[Ende]

...So Richard was Pride, then?

You're confused.

I don't think we've seen Pride yet.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

It can be a problem.

[Nationstatelandsville]

I suppose it also doesn't particularly help the RP when the three most important characters are all controlled by the OP.

...Is there a problem with the RP?

At all?

[Olthar]

...So Richard was Pride, then?

Pretty sure Nat's post earlier indicated that he's going to be making Pride for Arc 3.

Yeah, I'm going to have to second this.

Honestly, it could be better, but I personally feel it's damn fun and damn good as it is.
