[OOC] Shine City II: The Next Season

[Bozo]

@Delta44@Narcotic Dollie Well, it depends on whether you want something realistic or more fantasy orientated. I personally have a love for Eastern fantasy, but I'm willing to do pretty much anything with a good team of players. Any particular cravings?

@Takashi

Yeah brah, count me in! As long as I can play a knight.

[Saarebas]

Truly sad to see this thing go, it was pretty great to see all you guys again and to meet you new friends as well (=P

On a lighter note I would be glad to join a new RP with you guys, keep me posted =)

[Daxam]

Awww! Sadness abounds! This was a great team of players. Would anyone like to get together and maybe start up something different? I wouldn't mind GMing something if some of you would still like to play together.

@Takashi

I'm interested ^^

[MyCatGinger]

@Takashi

...if there is still space in this equation for someone like me, I would be honoured if you would ask me to join you on this eastern fantasy roleplay.

Perhaps I can finally play my own gender, too.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen me play men.
But you have yet to see me in my element.

[Haeo]

Well... that's depressing news to get before my coffee. Fantasy is a genre that I have far more experience with than either romance or slice-of-life. But, as this has ended I have an open spot in my RP list. I am definitely interested in seeing what you come up with.

The six pages of, now useless, collab is a little irritating but that's what happens when people take too long with them. So, BLAH! Let the fantastical story of... whatever's coming next... BE GLORIOUS!

[Takashi]

@MyCatGinger@Narcotic Dollie@Delta44@Rekaigan@Haeo@Daxam@Saarebas@Bozo I think I tagged everybody that expressed interest. Even if you're not tagged here, you're still welcome to join.

I just set up a general interest check: roleplayerguild.com/topics/91912-easte..

Let's start discussing the details there.

[BlueAjah]

@Dynamo Frokane @MyCatGinger@Narcotic Dollie
Well, it was a lot of fun while it lasted! Let me know if you ever make another season! :)

@Delta44@Narcotic Dollie@MyCatGinger@Rekaigan@Cirrus
From one love RP to another? yall dont want to do something badass like race cars or fly warplanes? I@BlueAjah@Haeo@Daxam@Saarebas@Bozo Ive got 3 RPs that I'd love to reboot with some of you.
Let me know!

First the Dystopian Racing RP, think F-Zero meets Death Race mixed in with a little Wacky Races.
There's a lot we could do with the setting. I only began to peice together the plot.

Racing RP

Second is my Warplanes RP, very close to my heart, this is easily the most passionate ive ever been about a project, ever since I first played Starfox, I wanted to do a Warplanes Fantasy. This is Lylat Wars Meets Fire Shark Meets Fallout.

Warplanes RP

And Lastly my Mini-Robo Highschool/Academy RP, this was one of my very earliest ideas so its the least polished but It has some real potential and plus a great system which I've based future RPs off of. This is technically closest to your slice of life Idea, Custom Robo meets Beyblade meets Rival Schools.

Custom Robo RP

Let me know which one(s) take your fancy....(if any)

[Dolerman]

I'm gonna throw you two in as well, check the above post @Skepic@Slypheed

[Skepic]

Thanks for the shout out! I think you know which one I'm gonna go for. ;)

@Dynamo Frokane

Which one's the most popular? X3

[LovelyAnastasia]

Ah~ It appears I returned too late.

[Dolerman]

@Narcotic Dollie @LovelyAnastasia@Daxam

haha well, because you guys like slice of life, Im thinking the Custom Robo might be the best fit right now?

We got all the time in the world to reboot Sky Warriors @Skepic

What do you think Co-Bosses?@MyCatGinger

[MyCatGinger]

@Dynamo Frokane

Ah, beloved Dynamo. :') Creative as always. I always loved that about you.

Unfortunately, I think I'll take a little break from RPing for a while. Don't worry, this is characteristic to me and changes spontaneously. I just need some time to recharge. Although Shine City was one of the things that got me out of bed super early, giddy and excited some mornings, I think I need a little more control over my life.
If anything on the guild strikes me as for me, I'll definitely drop my interest. However, I'm looking for something small, or rather, easy, for the moment.

I had the most wonderful time though, boss. <3 Thank you for everything!
Good luck, good luck, good luck!

Two words :

Fuck. Why?

Rant

Weatherman? Understandable. Ret-con to salvage the RP, and we've got most of the ships...still sailing pretty well. Oliver can still butt heads with a delinquent or two, maybe even a druggie. The main appeal doesn't have to be hijacked to move time forwards.

Life management? Hiatus. Salvageable. I've already done so with the Warplanes RP, but reviving is as simple as snap once all the key players are back. An RP can span for years, if necessary.

Heartbreak? In terms of what I've had with Sabine going to and fro between people, love has been a mix-n-match kind of thing. Maybe it's too early and characters lack development. Maybe your target character is lovesick for someone else...hell, play rebound and break that ___-zone, whatever it is. Things in an RP aren't always going to follow true with life tendencies, so why let the "zone" stuff stand in the way?

Aaaaand drama?

Fantasy RPs often have drama with tons of people (mooks, kings, lords, ladies) dying as a standard.

Sci-fi / space opera RPs have dramas that will poke at the limits of what it means to be human and or serving humanity...or whatever the heck you are.

Heck, we brought a freaking yandere into the fray. That in itself is supposed to incite drama; some characters may act immaturely to immaturity. And others may do so otherwise. Given the age range of the characters, it would be more surprising if we didn't have any vocal characters that somehow were all magically wise enough to not give two hoots.

I was fine for the most part with everything (even the fact that a side character literally got a hole in her neck because of the 30 year-old fat quickscoper on the loose, which I found morbidly funny), besides pacing (honestly felt that we should've kept Christmas around to explore that 'spiritual' facet in our characters, but NYE worked just as well), but HOOOOOMYGOOOOOOOD can we raise objections next time, as opposed to the "oh, I can't really ask the GMs to settle this concern I have with player X because I suspect this won't end well with what I had in mind for this RP" Route.

As opposed to a fantasy RP that would usually play out in generic plot XYZ, whatnot with usually immature players building characters to min-max the RP (unsuprisingly, the GM would toss in a world to streamline this method of RPing by throwing the characters in some grand mook-slaying conflict with stat bars focusing on skills "how much I can focus on hitting hard", "how much I can brag about my bulletproof pectoral muscles", and "how much I can...um, yeah, my character's a prodigy, so don't worry about how I never studied to know this stuff") this is romance. And Heavens know that that plays out a billion different ways IRL. Your average love story can go a number different, unexpected ways if you're not comfortable with your current choices between settings, characters, etc., but quitting without experimenting or developing the character into something completely unexpected isn't the way to letting a character evolve. Drama's going to be inevitable if your character has a serious flaw.

Unless we're playing the "love me for who I am while we score easy dopey points" game, and not the "falling in / out of love" game, I really don't know what's up.

Rant over.

Two words :

Fuck. Why?

@Verdaux

I know, right? I was looking forward to Sabine and Zac interacting more ;~;

[Delta44]

Two words :

Fuck. Why?

@Verdaux

No more lesbian love?! :O

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Verdaux You make many valid points. I guess it was just really hard for us GMs to try and keep everyone happy and we felt like we were failing. @Bozo made this character that everyone asked him to make and then when he started implementing him suddenly people weren't happy anymore, which was understandably sucky for him, and it also really confused us.

So we tried to fix it by killing him off, but it still wasn't really enough to make everyone happy with it again. It blows, I know. Sabine and Nori never got to interact again. :(

This game was close to my heart and I'd love to keep going on it, but I don't think many players wanted to keep it up.

[Bozo]

I, for one, will make a season 3 if Dynamo would let me. I really don't give a shit.

[MyCatGinger]

@Verdaux

Girl knows where it's at.
