[quote=PrinceOfQuills] However, for the sake of the RP, I think we should all consider that we were meant to be on the hunt for mages (our recruitment rests in this general idea in the first place), and at the same time, it's rare enough as it is to be pro-mage in this universe. What I'm basically saying is, if any wish to be pro-mage in the long run, they should logically be starting with the philosophy that mages are, beyond reasonable doubt, evil, or if not, these people could be relatively indifferent to them (many mercenary-like characters might lean on this ideology; i.e. they care not who to kill, etc.). A little drama and some heated rocky beginnings wouldn't hurt haha.[/quote] Yeah, that's one of the central themes in this RP. As I said in the 'setting' section up top. I don't mind some people secretly being curious about mages and all that, but if you're caught consorting with mages...well, it's a death sentence. Being a mage...well, it's a death sentence too. Hahah. [quote=PrinceOfQuills]EDIT: I think this RP has the potential to be one of the very best, and I would really hate to see this die. In my long time as an RPer, I found this to be almost inevitable, save for a certain special few. And this certain few, I've found, had rules implementing that they would kill off the characters of those who fail to respond after a while without prior notice (or some would put them into an inactive spot, then eventually kill them off). I'm not saying anything; it's just that, I want everyone to know how horrible it feels when an RP you've really enjoyed suddenly dies, simply because one member didn't give a damn about it anymore. Just saying. Let's make this fun, guys :D [/quote] I'll make sure to add it into the rules once I get the OOC up. I certainly have no problem giving someone's character a quick (maybe even dramatic) death if they're absent for an unacceptable amount of time. Hell, I'm even cool with one of you guys writing it...if it comes to that. Thank you for your kind words and belief in the potential of this roleplay! I'm sure this is gonna be damn fun. ^_^
