Oh. Those two are very different things indeed.

We did not mean others wandering in and ruining plans... Far too often, such means that they expect your character to behave a certain way that is entirely contrary to how your character would behave naturally.

@Gowi You don't enjoy your own characters deciding for themselves what they want to do?

The best thing to see with a well-laid plan is for one of your characters to waltz in and wreak havoc, rendering it utterly useless and irrelevant. Though after spending a decent amount of time writing from the perspective of a specific character, you usually learn some about what will and will not work for him/her/it.

We've learned never to plan out everything a character should do... they tend not to cooperate like that. what we plan is settings like "who will (s)he encounter?" "Where will the encounter happen?" etc.

For our RPs, we usually spend far longer than most on characters, both our own and our players' characters to make sure they are up to par.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

If you should have any questions, @Chayden13, do not hesitate to ask them here, in PM or via the discord chat used by most other aftermath players. To save ya time in spotting that, we copied the link to here:

to us, what we look for in prospective players (for our advanced RP) is primarily commitment and ability to plan. Sure, a certain level of grammar and lingual structure is nice, but its more important to consider what they achieve with their posts. Someone could (at least in theory) write a ten-page post with flawless grammar, yet achieve next to nothing for the story. Similarly, a lingually "weaker" player could achieve a lot with just a paragraph or three.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

It'll be interesting to see what sort of sheets you produce, @chayden13.

When you do submit them, they will most likely be reviewed one at a time, so if you finish one before the other, it might be wise to submit it first.

Now to get Sish back into the cage... Who let him out in the first place?

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

Gleðileg jól.

Am I the only one who thinks this way on RP's lifespans?

many try to GM before they're ready to do it. Others end up having RL come and bite them. Its a fact of life. Some RPs simply aren't ready, or get the wrong players, or are released on the second full moon in a single month, which everyone knows means that it cannot survive. Or just things happen.

We personally hold to that its better to wait with release than to rush it. Our own RP is currently about a month after OoC release and not yet on IC stage. but then, its a big one and many of the players are still crafting sheets.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@chayden13

That's an interesting view on mages. Far more enlightened (from a mage's perspective) than that held by a lot of people elsewhere in Formaroth. What do these clans think of how villagers and religious folks elsewhere treat mages?

Have some of their druids in the past been burned at the stake by such people? If so, how did they react?

How do they get along with the Circle (the mage school, effectively)?

@WiseDragonGirl though it can be a pain, completely uninstalling and reinstalling the relevant browsers could perhaps help?
