As much as I love your guy's number of paragraphs in your posts. I feel that it's super unnecessary to post so many lines, if all I have to do is skip the last two sentences to get to the point. Can we tone it down a bit please?


I wasn't aware that this is an issue on a roleplaying forum. I, however, enjoy reading everyone's posts and how their character works. If you'd prefer it, perhaps I should piece up my post and specifically name who I am talking to and what I do instead of adding all the 'unnecessary' parts? Still, i'll make an effort to type less if that's what you'd want.

I mean I can go in more depth on how my characters feel in each post but I literally have been saying "Previously in the Prometheus Academy" cause it's like I'm reading a review of what just happened in the previous post that I just finished reading. Then in the final paragraph and last few sentences people begin to actually show progress in the scenario. I'm not the only one who thinks this either.

Long posts, naturally, take a long time to type up and I think it's why the RP is moving really slowly. I don't mind long posts but, if given the choice, I prefer post speed over post length because the RP feels more interactive and 'alive'. Just my 2 pennies :)

I'll be sure to avoid repeating myself in any of my posts, then, but then there'd only be around a paragraph or so of writing. It's a shame, too - I thought this RP was perfect as it was, with a good mix of unique writing styles. I guess it's your RP so you get to call the shots, but it's a shame to see it drop in standards. :(

It was merely an opinion, Stitches, I don't want you to change your writing style because I'm the GM because that would be tyrannical of me. I did hope you wouldn't feel that way which is why I said 'if given the choice' and 'just my two pennies'.

I really do enjoy your posts and you have a great writing style, I'd just be even more interested if the posts were a little more concise because it'd open up a whole new realm of interactivity between Mable and the other characters. Personally, I wouldn't call a reduction in post length a drop in standards because I view novels and RPs in a different manner. I think the best form of RP'ing is when posts aren't overly long because it allows more interaction between the characters. It's why I put it in the casual section.

If you don't want to change your writing style, that's totally fine. Again, it was just my opinion and, again, I don't want you to do it because you feel pressured. If you still want to keep your posts 4-5 paragraphs then keep going, all I would ask is that you try to post a bit faster so that we can get this RP train chugging along. :)

Hm, I wonder if we should skip the cleaning duty. I guess it depends on people's overall opinions, but I doubt it'll be that interesting. I was thinking of starting up a scenario myself; but I feel I should drop you a PM first.

I wasn't sure what to do. I was half-planning to have Jacob just show up in the weight room and start working out, but...I didn't really think it'd go anywhere, based on where D and dawg went with the scenario.

Yeah that was just a quick scenario with Dark and Kyo.

Yeah, I didn't think the cleaning duty would be that interesting but I thought perhaps some interaction would take place and a camaraderie would develop between the different characters. Since we have two people unsure about the direction it's taking, we'll just have one person fast forward the scene and end it. Either one of you can do that, whoever's online first.

Also, Stitches, as long as your scenario doesn't involve something crazy like the Academy blowing up, you're very welcome to start a scenario without running it by me.

You haven't missed much, to be honest, we're just starting to get the characters acquainted.

The RP opened with a group of 12 Wanderers attacking Ashlynn (for currently unknown reasons) but she was rescued by a few students and the Guardians. They did a lot of damage before leaving and so they've been established as the main threat. Some of the students are interested in researching and finding out who they are etc. That's about the only main plot point at the moment as the rest is just random character development. :)

URGENT: Since we've had a few scenarios, we're going to be doing a time skip. This will move us along the timeline and allow us to assume developments have been made over that duration which we can post about in the new scenarios. The time-skip will be four weeks.

If anyone objects to the time-skip, let me know. Kalamdea, I think the time skip is a good opportunity for you to have John jump into the RP :)

It's currently November in the RP so Scenario #8 will begin mid-december.

I believe you have to specify the kinds of summons he can do. Also, you've already got points from me for your Daft Punk signature. I love Daft Punk.

Anyway, I'm fine with a timeskip.

Ah, I'll have to make sure to correct that. What are the limitations on summons, if you don't mind me asking? Say I want to create two specific beings that Jesse could summon, would that be acceptable or do they simply have to be of some elemental variety?

And always good to meet another Daft Punk fan. As I tell all Daft Punk fans, if you haven't already, watch Interstella 5555

As far as I can tell, specific summons are totally cool. However, you can have two types of summons as the OP said (since you're a secondary summoner). So it might be better to go with a general type of summons. It's totally up to you though, if that's the case.

Also, the Guardians are a Wanderer group, not anti-Wanderer.

What Multi said. Two types, and then you can have a specific summon you like to use for each type. If you were to go with primary, you'd get three normal and a grand.

Also, I have watched it in pieces, but I've listened to the entirety of Discovery many times. Can't go wrong with Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, which is my absolute favorite Daft Punk song.

Alighty, coolio. Thanks for the heads up you two. And as to my mistake to the Guardians, crap. I'll get right onto fixing that. Thanks again!

HBFS is definitely one of their bests. I'm partial to Giorgio by Moroder and Contact on their album RAM. Have you heard the Jess & Crabbe remix on Daft Punk's Daft Club album,

No, that's one of the remix albums of theirs I haven't gotten into. I've mostly listened to the Human After All remix album and TRON: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D.
