I haven’t been very vocal during this, so I figure it’s time I start to speak up. I believe everyone is trying to come up with a ‘way to fix everything’. But if you get rid of teams you’re going to destroy easily one of the best parts of the RP as [@Krayzikk] and [@Silvan Haven] has pointed out. If you jump to another event as many people have pointed out it drastically changes what is good about this RP and forces everyone to try and come up with what happened during that time. We’d just lose more people. The most active point in my time during this RP unquestionably was when I brought back Bianca and she was interacting with Gratia who was not even going to be on her team. You do not have to singularly interact with team members. But as Krayzikk and others have pointed out. It gives this RP a strong sense of identity and structure that I think we’d be absolutely insane to drop. So I think above all else we need to keep teams around. I would also, after a lot of thought and discussion with a couple of those whose opinions I highly value, think that we should leave the power vacuum in the RP. I will be stepping down from a gm position entirely and I encourage [@NarayanK] and [@Prince of Seraphs] to do the same thing. Nara, I don’t know about you, because all of my conversations with Lug were in private chat but I barely got a damn thing done at all and Lug got even less done since he had promoted me. This RP in the way we are running it now is fully capable of continuing autonomously and with all of us at the reins as a team. It does not need a GM. I believe that now. As long as players can continue to be antagonists on missions, make contests, interact with others, and continue as we have I believe we can continue this monolith of an RP. Now, this does mean that we all will have to commit to working to improve the RP when it is necessary and being fair in our decision making since if we have no GM’s that means there is equality in everyone’s voices. So, let me propose something I spoke to Lug a few times and he seemed to accept. It was going to be put in place, but without myself or Lug on a GM team there isn't really a point in just acting like we can't discuss it. The idea was evolved from my original, fairly drastic and terrible idea, by speaking with [@Plank Sinatra], [@Crimmy], as well as [@Here Comes the Snow] and implementing their feedback to reign it in from the vast over correction that it was. [hider= Here's the new plan.] We completely skip over the menial classes, the art, math, science are a great example. No one finds them interesting and you yourself want to take them out. However, I believe keeping the 'interesting' classes that are pertinent to being a hunter (Survival, Dust-Apps, Armory, Combat, etc.) we can make a new system in which we can reward credits and incentivise the classes. To do this we make class projects. They'll act as an in character contest an example could be 'come up with a reasonable meal plan if your stranded in a forest.' For survival. Then we can do the classic three credit, two credit, one credit reward system from contests. This will speed up rewards and create an IC reason for players to write contests/recieve rewards outside of just missions which take ages realistically. So that way all classes are completely pertinent to your character's growth as a hunter(ess) and we cut out half the school day. Making more time for free time. I'd also like to start having 'Urgent Missions'. They would occur every day or other day depending on the speed of the IC and would reward whichever team picks up that mission one credit each. They would all, essentially, be fight one large Grimm to keep them as short as possible. If say team BASL grabbed one a cooldown would then be placed to say that they couldn't pick up the next two missions. Let me know what you think of these ideas.[/hider] Anyone feel free to share their opinions on that right there and anything else I’ve said in this RP. I for one, plan on getting a post up as soon as Jericho makes his sweet ass sit in the café. So, yeah I believe we can stay the course and maintain something that we can be proud of. also Sho pls bby be more interested in me. I try so hard for you.
