Closed my loves

@Mochisenpai NP, don't forget about the interest check either.

Closed my loves

I hate to be party-killing prude, but smut and explicit things aren't allowed on public RP boards

@TheRedWatcher Okay, I understand. I just hope everyone has learned something from this spat and walk away from it wiser. Let us move on.

In other news, everyone expect a (shitty) hand drawn map of the land sometime tonight since I have a coherent idea of what it should look like.

@DegenerateThree If they want to than its their prerogative, the door is back open for them now. But my point about maturity and being able to read a room still stands.

I have enough things on my list of things to do that watching an argument about racial politics in fictional writing and roleplay isn't one of them. I already have enough classes on it irl.

<Snipped quote by DegenerateThree>

So. White Person is a fantasy now? Because that is what you're saying by saying; "all I wanted to do was make a fantasy people's". Apparently those Colonizer History lessons did you well, because if you had any ounce of understanding that generally in fantasy that other Ethnicities are often erased, our histories are not told, we're not even shown to have exist. And people who "just want to create a fantasy race" prefer to create the White People, and argue about semantics, instead of considering making an ethnically diverse group based on Vikings.

@TheRedWatcher

This does not convey "genuine and calm", this conveys "I have the moral high ground and you should know better" with a mix of "reeeeeeee".

It is not your tone that is the issue here, it your complete inability to be mature and let go. @DegenerateThreebasically said "I get your point and we should just drop this because I'm redoing my stuff so this point is no longer relevant" and you decided to give someone a lecture. If you want to think of it that way, you "won" and you still felt the need to press on like a child. I'm assuming you can read previous posts so you could clearly tell that this topic was on the way out and that there was already something boiling so something prevented you from being able to read a room.

While I can accept your apology, I am going to very politely ask you to leave.

@Kalleth Sure thing, I would keep your jungle Dorne idea tho in the back of your head. I'm going to be throwing up a shitty map soon so everyone has something to work with.

@TheRedWatcher I am going to ask very nively that this point be dropped. Posts have been made, knowledge has been shared and there is also a change/solution in place. While I do agree with your points, for the sake of civility I ask that everyone involved just take a step back and take a breather.

@Kalleth No dragons, this is pretty grounded in non magic. As for climate, I was originally thinking of a shape like France, mountains on three sides and a coast. Still need to actually make a map, but it's probably not going to be the size of Westeros.

@DegenerateThree If you want help or background information on Adanion, please feel free to reach out. The RP isn't going to be starting any time quick, I have other outside work I need to do and also some more lore and set up (chiefly I need to write out the Council positions that some players can start with, a map for everyone so we aren't using amorphous blobs in our heads and ideally a description of what the capital is like plus some NPCs.) I also just got both a booster shot and a flu shot today and considering how fucking hard the first shot hit me, there's a 50/50 chance I'm going to be out of action for at least a day as I pray to 7 different gods to end my pain (true story).

Since this is also the first post of a new page, this is more directed at everyone. Here is what I have planned so far in terms of a plot (posting for thoughts and feedback).

1) The RP will start with a royal funeral for the King and (mostly) the Crown Prince. Since this is a huge event, everyone is invited and the Great Houses are sort of expected to come. Character meetings and introductions will be here and any initial plotting or gossiping can be done.

1.5) Free area for people to send letters, ravens, or messengers/meetings to other characters.

2) Everyone will then get an invitation to a tournament by an NPC/Grand Marshal/important figure as both something to take everyone's minds off the death and to try and convene to pick a new King of Adanion. Both of the claimants will be there and Sharles will even take part in jousting to try and show he has martial skill. A pro-Anyamara opponent faces off against him and in the process severely wounds him by accident but Sharle's supporters will cry bloody murder and say it was an attempt at assassination. Sharles is promptly withdrawn from the tournament and the whole thing goes south after that.

2.5 ) Free RP. Sharles will attempt to bring the still neutral Royal Guard to his side to protect him after the "assassination attempt" but the Captain of the Guard refuses and after contemplation, declares that he will stand for Anyamara as she at least has some direct royal blood in her which Sharles does not, prompting Sharles to create his own Guard and the basis of a his own council and army.

3) One of the Royal Guard actually tries to betray Anyamara and cut her down when they're alone, proclaiming "the throne will not have two mad dogs!" only for him to be killed without killing Anyamara. No one actually knows why the Guard did it, but just like with Sharles at the tournament, Anyamara's supporters think Sharles obviously put the man up to it despite not really having proof and things only escalate from there.

(There will be light time skips in the free RP sections, mostly so there's a balance of realism about messages and meetings not happening instantly and of expediency since we probably don't need to RP every single day. These are also just major plot points used to keep the story moving and not meant for railroading, you will still be free to politick and plot and build relationships as you wish.)

@DegenerateThree Trust me, I know how you feel. I've gotten ching chonged on the bus before and more than one person thinking calling me slanty is the Pinnacle of humor and that the highest act of patriotism is accusing me of being a communist spy or that I have a secret bottle of covid juice to spread around.

What I originally said was meant mostly in jest but I can see how that could be misinterpreted so I offer my apologies for not making that clear. You're free to use the common ancestor or coincidental convergence idea or any others you wish. Again, sorry.
