Just to keep things balanced here:

I'm off today and we had a small discussion about the pace of the RP over on the chat. It's nothing crazy, but a good point was brought up about there being very few RPs that adopt a once a week posting pace. I was explaining that we've adopted this pace because we feel it'll provide the best narrative consistency as story content is dropped often. Everyone has something fresh to work with often and then you have the week in between where you can post as much as you need to. Nothing crazy, but I thought I'd share here so we can all join in on the conversation.

I also expressed my desire (this is not official by any means) to allow players to create subplots when we move far enough in the story to allow for such. I think it'd be a good way to allow for a unique kind of character development for everyone while also putting players in a minor lead position for a bit. Understand that this hasn't been discussed yet though; it's just me and my desires at the moment lol. There will be plenty of chances at character development in the main narrative of the RP anyway, rest assured.

Probably the same guy that does all the MGS art for the series... Can't remember his name. I just know he's Japanese and does literally all the art you see hahaha. I've never seen that particular one though.

@The Survivor - Hot damn that art is nice.

@Hellis - This is true. Not everyone's character is broken. It was just interesting to see a more upbeat kind of character. I can't wait to see how the general darkness of the RP affects them - and everyone else for that matter.

@Damiann47 - Nice, simple character. I assume you mean "Third Class" when you say third rank so that's one little small change in wording you can make. Otherwise, I don't see any glaring problems. I'm a bit elated that we have at least one unbroken character, though it remains to be seen how long she'll remain like that lol. I don't think Rockette would disagree, so you're approved. Go ahead and add her to the character tab when you can.

@vietmyke - We would be sad to see you go, Myke. The RP was designed for a large cast in the first place so we're well equipped for this scenario - and I was interested in seeing what kind of concept you were going to go for. However, if you do decide to drop, good luck in your RP endeavors. We are glad to have gained your interest, at the least.

So, as @Wade Wilson put it, the new Discord chat should be good for all our random banter. The OOC will serve as a bit more roleplay focused, but it's not restricted to that - just putting that out there. We will be on both as lines of communication, though I'd suggest asking questions in the OOC because they're more likely to get buried in the Discord chat.

That is all and have fun ;)

@Rockette - Heavily depends. It can be good for random chatter, but it can leave the OOC barren too. It's a fine line to balance. I've generally liked my chat room experiences on this site, but it's also a fact that it was the chat room that lead to the death of the RP I was in every single time. It just depends.

@The Survivor - Great! You're approved bro, post up in the character tab when you can.

Also, MGS3 got me into the series as well! We're gonna be cool man, we're gonna be fucking cool lol.

@The Survivor - Let me start by saying you're tugging at the heart strings, man. Naked Snake (I know that's not him, but you understand lol) is one of my favorite characters ever and seeing that face claim made me a bit bias haha. Bruce is awesome though. His background is actually pretty damn intriguing to be honest and there's some real potential for development in there. We also like the fact that someone finally took the Lightning aspect of Red and ran with it lol. Our only concern is the Lightning's Wrath ability and The Demon ability. For normal offensives, they're particularly strong what with Lightning's Wrath dissolving the thing it touches, devouring the life instantly, and getting stronger from it. They read like mini-overdrives. If you can tone those down a bit, that's our only issue.
