[OOC] Where Angels Fear to Tread (Community Revived Edition)

[Daemyn Sterk]

I'll try and join at a later date if I'm able to, I'd just need to change around the bio so that he wasn't in the jail with everyone. I've just ended up with a headache whenever I've tried to write out snippets for roleplays lately and I don't feel like I could produce much for awhile, and since this roleplay is just starting out I don't wanna delay it from shooting off by putting out a bunch of really late and sloppy posts. Best of luck to you all though, and I hope you all have a good time! :)

[SyrianHamster]

Christ that took me ages to read. Some really good posts though, we have a fair bit of talent amongst us. Keep up the good work :)

[The Roman07]

Waiting your next post before I post again

[The Roman07]

Nvm you posted lol

[Steel fist]

Hi Hamster, should I wait for the others to finish posting, or should I just post the part where Shorus breaks that door?

You may as well break it down, or they'll all be waiting.

[The Roman07]

I'll have a post up shortly

[Lotta Pumpkins]

Wow, this thread is screaming by. I'll post when I get off work in two hours

[The Roman07]

Rin watching the elf woman change:

[Nephriel]

@ Shorus I'm answering you here instead of the IC. I figured the Minotaur would break the door like Hamster said and therefore was vague about how and when she got in. Since Rinn already responded to my mistake, and because it's my fault his post was also early, treat our posts as though they happened after the breaking of the door. I will respond accordingly in my next post and warn the others of my mistake. I apologize for getting ahead of myself if it throws the others off. ^_^

@ Rinn Lol, nice.

[The Roman07]

Wait what mistake? I didn't post any mistake. I assumed the barracks area was still in the prison area.you know, sort of like a lounge area where the guards stay during their shift. Or how in oblivion jails the barracks is towards the back with the cell keys nearby. Was I wrong? Sry

[Nephriel]

It was my mistake, lol. The barracks were through a heavy door that was locked and Shorus was supposed to knock it down before we could get inside is all. Our posts were a touch early.

[The Roman07]

Oops, might of misread 9's post a bit. Let's just assume Rin took care of the stragglers who didn't fall unconcious from his scream. Got a little ahead of myself lol

[SyrianHamster]

Y'all need to stop misreading posts. I can see the problem though, there is an awful lot to read through, and by the time you actually get to writing yours, you've forgotten half of what you've read.

How about a new rule, to minimise the problem of missing critical information?

Anything that your character does, is doing, or wants to do, that might be crucial or significant to other players, put in bold. That way, any time you see bold text, you know there's a possibility your character might need to make mention of something.

An example would be the door problem we just had; if your character is going to throw an obstruction in someone else's way, make the mention of it in bold. Or if your decide to spawn an enemy of significance, again, make the statement in bold.

Example:

... "Follow me," he shouted, and darted down the corridor. He knew the dungeon well - there would be a secure oak door, and no doubt the Minotaur would remove the obstruction with ease. Beyond that there was a guard post, most likely heavily manned at this point.If they could overcome his kinsmen there, then the stairs to the guard's barracks and interrogation chambers would be easily accessible.

What'd ya think?

[Steel fist]

Hamster, sounds fair.
We also could summarize the important actions in the character summary or something...
i.e.:
Name: Shorus
Location: The guards barracks.
Actions: Broke the oak door and neuralized the guards, searching for his belongings
Inventory: 2 heavy axes, Waxing stone, light armor

Guys what you think?

About Rin and 9, if you need some Minotaur action to help you with the guards, I'll be glad to help (do need to use those axes some time :) ), I will post after the Hamster posts.

[The Roman07]

I'm actually using a phone to do my writing so its kinda hard to write html stuf. Most don't seem to work and that's one of the major reason I used copy paste characters.

We just need to pay attention of what each other is doing much better in ny opinion. (Myself included) that being said I may just add a few key notes in a hider towards the bottom of my post exe

Notes

Rin took out the last three guys standing after the bugs roar.
He also handed syrianhamster some herbs and a giant plastic ball to roll around in. (Hamster joke)

*edit note- NINJAD BY A MINOTAUR! Geeze lol yes I like the summary idea better as you can see, because not everyone would realize key features while they writeand think to put them all in bold. Plus that would encourage shorthand reading and where's the fun in that? XD

*another edit note- yes my beloved cow-man. Rin is no fighter and he's pretty tired now

It's a good idea, probably better than bolding stuff.

I think I'll leave it down to the players to decide what they want to do. Bolding or action summary is fine. Abstaining because you believe people should read your hard work with dedicated fervour is fine.

[Lotta Pumpkins]

How powerful do we want to make the world breaker? I can have Kyrtaar wound him with his powers, but write off the lack of fatality to being weakened, and enchanted armour or something. If you guys want that, and for him to initiate the conflict, let me know, and I'll post when I get off work, in about 4 hours

[The Roman07]

I see some room.for character growth in Mr. Hamsters character. Well played Hammie :)

[Pathfinder]

9 is gonna be pretty out of it for awhile.
