One Piece: New Age

Asus wasn't happy that he lost another two hornets, but the fact that even more pupae finished their metamorphosis and more importantly that his life was saved more than made up for it. Abigail and the explosion caused by Zypha took out the remainder of the Marines so for the moment he had no need for the remaining 28 hornets and ordered them back.

"Looks we have to split up again." Asus personally had no idea what was behind any of the three doors, despite the spies he had sent in. He decided to leave the choice up to his two crewmates and just go through the door neither of them picked. "Well, ladies first."

lol Sorry I was thinking of that old show freakazoid when I wrote that, and couldn't get the image of him rushing at someone who owed him 3.50 out of my head : P

@malmshodes

Yep Freakazoid would do that and I can see why electricity would remind you of that,since he could turn into it I think

One Piece: New Age

@malmshodes What is the "a skinny red maniac who finally found the guys who owed him money." thing a reference too?

What makes a great GM?

Personally I think there many different thins that can make a great GM but that a great GM doesn't need all of them, for example a GM that is great with high fantasy rp's may be mediocre when it comes to super heroes rpgs as they require a different plot. And than there is of course the difference between free and casual or even more extreme table top vs "standard" rp's. As for your specific questions I will try to help but I have to warn you the few times I GM'ed I was terrible, since knowing how to do or thinking you know is in no way the same as actually doing it.

■What are great ways to keep players engaged both IC and OOC?

IC is pretty simple in theory make an interesting plot and make sure that every playing character has significant influence in how it develops. The last freee rpI was in eventually became the GM and another person posting back and forth thus making the other players little more than npc's unable to really affect the story.

As for the OOC you can allow them to guess plotpoints and even letting them know that if you like their idea's enough you will actually use it, but the main thing is I think that the Gm themselves has to be invested in the OOC.

■Should the character submission be the only factor in accepting players?

I myself don't think so, of course it should be the mainfactor but someone who you know is a good and interesting rp're who won't leave quickly can take priority over someone else even if the quality of the CS'es were close. You should make it clear when you do this though, preferably in the Interest Check so that everyone involved will know about it.

■How do you deal with the players who have seemingly disappeared from the RP?

A simple solution is to put up a timelimit and kill their characters off when it's expired and allowing other layers to take their places or if they prefer to take over their characters, once again you should let this be known along with the timelimit and maybe allow possible exceptions due to RL circumstances if you and the other players are informed.

■In the same vein, how do you effectively prevent the above from hindering your other players?
See the above

■What is the most graceful way to end your RP due to inactivity or (*gasp!*) your own loss of interest/time?
No idea

Granted the correct use of you're is now you're, your, u're, and ur.

I wish I never posted a wish in this thread thus freeing me from the corruptions affecting me, while my corruption of other wishes remains intact

One Piece: New Age

@Jensoman Okay good thing than I didn't increase the number of combat hornets to 100 at once

One Piece: New Age

When they stormed the base Asus was pleasantly surprised to notice that some of the motionless pupae had finished metamorphosis thus increasing his number of usable hornets. However he was quickly reminded to focus on the battle unless he wanted to end up like Lenwood and Satoru thanks to a truly bizarre threat from one of the Marines. "I'm gonna eat yer babies!"

Because of that he had just enough time to jump back out of the reach of a wildly swinging Marine. He quickly put up a Kabe in front of him. Since the "wall of hornets wasn't enough to cover him completely he hoped that the threat of getting stung by tens of hornets would get them to reconsider slashing again, if that didn't work he hoped the Marine was at least stupid to go for the parts of his body that the wall actually did protect and thus get stung.

Total number of hornets in Asus' body is 87. Number of hornets used for combat 60, hornets currently in use 30/60, dead hornets 6/60

One Piece: New Age

@Jensoman Wait a sec when you said 100 hornets did you mean or 100 for battle? IIf that wasn't clear Asus technically has 75 hornets already but he keeps 25 in reserve to make sure he never runs out thus losing the advantages of his DF while keeping the disadvantages. If he has 100 in total he will use 65 in battle but if he has 100 for battle he will keep 45 in reserve

Granted but you're not the protaganist.

I wish I never developed Diabetes meaning my feet never were lost
