Morning everyone! Okay, last night I did a bit of thinking, and while I love the way the roleplay is going with everyone getting along, people have individually brought up with me a few points over the last few days so first things first; starting from today I will be putting a limitation on characters, at this point, I think that until things start to settle down and some arches (being planned out) are played through we just need to settle on this. The limitation for characters is now going to be three, and will indeed start from today onward; those who already have over this amount of characters may keep them, but until further notice will not be permitted to make any more unless knowledge of such things has been brought up with both myself and the lovely Co-GM’s prior to this notice. This [b]does not[/b] mean that any character in the works prior to this day, and that I had knowledge of is automatically rejected or must be tossed aside… I am not that cold-hearted or mean. Any new character CS’ that were brought to my attention before I put this notice up are safe, and will be treated exactly how they would have before this limitation. To those who might think that I’m restricting everyone to purely collaborations… this is not the case, I personally find them a little easier when you know there’s a lot of ground to cover, and I do ask that you use them if you know that something is going to spam the IC- but I am not saying you have to use them for everything; so if you want to go and throw up a solo post, go ahead, I’m not going to stop you. The IC is dull and boring without them; they add flavor and flair, and they tell us a hell of a lot about your characters- not to mention about how they think. However, just know that we will be using collaborations for Quests, as it follows a certain group of demigods; it will also make it easier to keep it all together. We just gotta remember to keep a healthy balance. Ideas, plots and story arches. Come at me! If you have an idea that you think is good, if you have a plot that will be fun; if you have a whole story arche in mind filled with drama, romance and all that jazz- then tell me about it! I want to hear your ideas! This roleplay [b]is not[/b] just for me guys, it’s for you as well; and I love more than anything to hear your ideas and to try and help make them a reality! All you have to do is talk to me or one of the Co-GM’s- we have white boards! We will write it all down and bring it to each other’s attention during our chit chats! And then we will start working on making it a reality! I know that we may have only started up; and that yes, right now we have a single quest going that’s will leave a lot of the demigods at camp- but don’t worry because I’ve been thinking about that too, and while at the moment I may not feel the most confidence as your GM in running two quests at once at this stage in time, I do have other ideas and options in my mind as a compromise of sorts. All I ask is that you be patient, and that you trust me on this one. Once the first quest is done; I will be working my brains for so many more to throw our demigods on; and if you have an idea for a quest, well throw that my way too! This was something that I wanted to implement in my last roleplay; however due to certain circumstances, I was never able to do so completely. Halloween, Christmas, Easter, New Years- our characters will be able to experience it all; some of them, even helping to run the show. There will be three days over each holiday that we would celebrate where all progression (at least for Halloween, until we hit the right pace) will be put on hold. So for example: the 30th of October, the 31st of October, and the 1st of November will be no progression days in this roleplay- everyone will stop what they’re doing, whether that be a quest, whether you’re in the middle of a capture the flag match; everything. And over those three days (though admittedly, I personally might need some help with this as it’s not a holiday celebrated in Australia) our characters will celebrate Halloween in great demigod fashion. Once the three days is up; roleplay for progressions sake will resume from where it had been left off. After that- we will be sure to schedule any games, quests, ect. on days leading up to and away from holidays so that we won’t have to worry about effecting progression. I also have an idea involving birth dates, however that is something that will be introduced after the New Year. Now, you’re right. You’re all perfectly right; just because most of us have Skype [b]does not[/b] mean that we are to ignore the OOC. We all do it, I’m a culprit of this too- we get familiar, and we fall into a pattern of ignoring it while we talk to each other; even if we don’t mean for it to happen, it just does. But we all need to remember that not everyone in this group has a Skype account, and we don’t want them, along with any other people thinking that we’re dead; so let’s start posting in here just a little more than we do now- we don’t have to quit Skype, we can keep our… interesting (<-only word I could think of) group calls; however I would like for everyone, including myself, to post in the OOC a few times a day just to get into the habit once more. This way everyone feels included in group chats, rather than just the few. Alright- I believe that’s everything I have to cover for now. In regards to my last point; once you’ve read this, please let me know by posting a response to it here in the OOC… even if that response is as small as the word ‘read’ I’ll be happy- means we’re getting somewhere, and that we’re all willing to try this out. If you have questions about anything I’ve just put up; feel free to post them up too if not, contact me directly in one way or another. Thanks for your patience and co-operation! Love you awesome nerds, Vicier~
