[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

Literally disgusting but ok

wtf everyone hates creative writing now

creative writing was horror for me

european literature, on the other hand, fucking amazing

which is really funny since there's even more creative writing than in creative writing

Which is a little weird, isn't it? For people who enjoy rping fictional storylines in an online forum?

Can confirm.

It's just nobody wants to be told how to do it. Part of the charm is each individual perspective winding together rather than the monotony of a shared formula.

[Nouveau Quebecois]

Anyways there's no strategic voting involved in picking classes. I think the OP should just hold one vote where people can pick their three favourite classes and just randomly assigned numbers to the most popular classes.

We're a creative writing group.

See this.

Also, a lot of my creative writing class IRL was bullshit. Writing about your own life, your childhood, cheesy shit like that. I could only really apply the most insipid of things to it.

With European literature? Even the driest analytical essay was pure euphoria for me, not the least because I could gleefully bring in my otherwise-useless historical knowledge to provide context and historical justification for, say, the myth of Atalanta.

Can confirm.

Okay, but you're not telling me to write some bullshit composition about my parent's immigration experiences or about 'one important area of your childhood', are you?

Well, I didn't really see it that way. I mean, sure, there'll be a teacher and all, but there's no need to listen to them, and the class would have been a great opportunity for different rpers here to express their own view of how to approach creative writing.

Aren't we already doing that simply by being here?

This creative writing class definitely doesn't have to be some bullshit like that. It could have been just different students/rpers sharing their own stories on their own accord, without any pre-determined story or plot they had to conform to.

[Nouveau Quebecois]

I really think my voting scheme is faster and more efficient.

I guess so. But I'm just saying I don't see why a creative writing class has to be some teacher imposing a script or formula on the students/rpers, rather than a more open space or dialogue for the different characters to share their own stories or ways of writing or coming up with stories. That's all.

Funny enough creative writing is how I actually formulated the idea of my first Camelone and it got refined through my Medieval history courses until what I have now.

Now I want to vote for something else

[Folaisia]

You guys not want creative writing anymore?

[Nouveau Quebecois]

I think we should just have one vote where everyone picks their favourite three classes, then you'll sort the seven classes with the most votes. Or something like that. You can see a lot of people picked Creative Writing for 2nd Period but practically no one picked it for 3rd.

I know this would take more time, but honestly this is why I'd rather we voted period-by-period. Its just a little annoying because if you vote for one class in Period X and no one else has voted for that class, but then you find a lot of people voted for that in Period Y, you have to keep changing your vote or it gets wasted. Whereas if we voted for each period's class, one-at-a-time, people would have a chance to vote for a class they like if it lost for a previous period.

Or this, yeah, but it will take a lot of time.

There we go, Greater vakolicci haven did exactly as I thought they would.

I'll note those suggestions.

Everyone, should I revert the voting process to period-by-period, or do you any other suggestions? This in reference to the aforementioned quoted posts above.

My suggestion still stands. In the meantime, can we move onto dinner?

Sure thing.

One Folaisian character that's involved in the welcoming committee:

Name: Martha Cunningham (Moireach Coineagan)
Nation of Origin: Folaisia
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Religion/Faith: Roman Catholic
School of Origin: St. Peadrus MacCallion High School
Current Year: Senior/Year 12
Background:

Martha was born on 17 September 2001 to a Folaisian-born father and a Belestan-born mother. Because of this, Martha would grow up in a balanced lifestyle of leisure and authoritarianism, making her a tough and determined individual besides displaying nonchalance and kindness for most of the time. At first, she was an average-performing student in her elementary school years, but in her later years there, thanks to her upbringing, she made a consistent streak of honor rolls, leading her to be accepted at St. Peadrus virtually immediately. Alongside her excellent academic performance, Martha took up swimming as a suggestion by her mother for a method of relaxation. Subsequently, Martha would participate in swimming competitions, where she won prizes, first, second and third alike, presenting justifiable reasons to participate in the high school swimming team. Furthermore, Martha began to grow fond of government and politics due to her curiosity that stemmed from watching elections live on television. With her dedication towards policy-making and leadership skills, she was elected president of the student government.

Health Issue(s): None
Roleplay Sample: I am the OP

[Vrijstaat Limburg]

Regarding this entire voting / Creative Writing affair: I’m neutral on all this. I wouldn’t mind skipping Creative Writing if some feel uncomfortable with it, but I personally don’t really understand what all the fuss is about. I’d personally not be in favour of changing to a slower voting system, but if that’s what you guys want to do, it is what it is.

Also: You can have up to 2 free periods per week. Those that would prefer not to attend a Creative Writings class could also go into the city during those periods, right?
