[@Lonewolf685] Right, but I was mainly focusing on

"For this RP specifically we thought that it was best to [color=ed1c24]cut the massive amounts of slow paced slice of life on the build-up intro arc[/color] and [color=ed1c24]jump straight to where the action begins[/color], since people sign in for a story where they expect to use their characters in a way (in this case, super-powered magic combat with cool pets), [color=ed1c24]I don't feel like it's a good thing to strangle them to another genre, just to build a story that might even be irrelevant later.[/color]"

Those points. I honestly doubt that this crowd is going to have a lasting effect on the RP as a whole, and that without the crowd the behemoth would have been entirely irrelevant. I'm under the impression that this part of the RP is mainly to introduce us to a potential villain that will be appearing again later on.

What I cannot understand is how EASILY this crowd was swayed by some random conspicuous bystander to turn against the Song Knights that literally just did their job. I am also aware of herd mentality, which no doubt played a part in the crowd's reaction. What I don't understand is how the majority of this crowd is turning against all of the Knights and not just the one that clearly caused the problem. It's an anime trope that I've noticed that nameless non-recurring characters are basically brainless, but while this RP is inspired by anime I also expected some amount of realism. With more introduction we might understand why the crowd is so on edge against these Knights, maybe the latest ones have been lax in their duties, or criminal, or just incompetent, but that isn't explained. Many of the arguments "??? goth loli girl" present are rather weak too. 

What I do commend is a system where players are actually punished OR rewarded for their actions. It's good that you include that, yet I somehow have the feeling that the behemoth would have appeared regardless, along with the eventual angry crowd. Correct me if I am wrong.

So I'll apologize now to anyone reading this for my being what may or may not be interpreted as needless belligerence, but I was reading the OOC and sort of got into a debating mood from the conversations that have been held recently. 

P.S. Yikes I just reread that and it's not visually pleasant, it doesn't flow well. I'm too lazy to fix it though so "post reply".
