Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted September 3, 2023 Author Posted September 3, 2023 Quote Hey y’all so RPs are tricky in that we’re putting lots of characters crafted to fit different stories into a box, and sometimes those characters don’t exactly fit inside the situations we want them to fit into. I can understand that it’s frustrating that Ayia’s a bit OP, but it’s kind of a natural consequence of the format, and that’s something that should be embraced, not fixed. Let’s all take a break for a bit and come back to this tomorrow. 1

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Quote I appreciate the level-headedness, but I don’t see this issue being resolved anytime soon - or ever, really. And I really do need to let myself focus on other things

The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Quote Welp... okay, I guess. I'm honestly sort of lost. I'll just wait until things start happening again.
NameIess Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Quote To be honest, I don't really want to continue this either.

NameIess Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: Quote The point of this RP was to be free-form, and it seems like we can't let it be that way.
The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 5 minutes ago, Nameless* said: Quote Which way of free form are you talking? The plot is somewhat structured because we're kind of on a story arc right now. As for characters, there's definitely been some conflict, but I know that I at least am not going to be objecting to those decisions anymore. Hopefully we can come to an agreement with whoever is going forward with this. But up to you.
NameIess Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said: Quote The character struggles. The plot being structured is fine. I don't want this to be TLT. But with Fadran not wanting to do this anymore (which I totally understand) the plot arc we're on is basically nonexistent. And I feel like there's a bit too much tension built up in this thread for me to really enjoy RP'ing in it.

Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted September 4, 2023 Author Posted September 4, 2023 Quote I’ve got a plan. Everything stays the same except for this: you can do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if it’s completely overpowered, nonsensical, or changes the plot irreversibly. Once it’s in the thread, it’s canon. Three exceptions: 1. You can’t do anything that permanently affects someone else’s character without the owner’s permission. 2. You can’t control someone else’s character. 3. If the rest of the active RPers unanimously vote to remove something, it and everything following is considered non-canon. This should only be used under extreme circumstances. The primary goal here should be to have fun, not to craft a narrative that makes sense. A lot of times, those two things can intersect, but I think sticking to a structured narrative here is doing a lot more harm than good. Thoughts? @Aeoliae @The Aspiring Archivist @Channelknight Fadran @Nameless*

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 Quote listen... I really need to clear my head, okay? Reading through my novel and coming to terms with how many edits and rewrites I need to do besides, I also just need to spend more time doing... other things. Please don't feel constrained not to continue without me.

I like the three rules, but I don't think we need to depart entirely from having any plot whatsoever. I'm not sure that that's really the source of the issues. It seems more to be questions of what characters can and can't do. I guess we can just use those rules and probably just follow a plot but promise not to argue a bunch if something goes awry? Dunno. Does anyone else have opinions? Who is actually still playing here? 11 hours ago, Channelknight Fadran said: Quote Okay. If you are sure of that, then the rest of us can agree on a way to decommission Ayia, unless you had something specific in mind to do so. @Aeoliae @Nameless* @Szeth_Pancakes Edited September 4, 2023 by The Aspiring Archivist
