@Rakurai

I'm beginning to think your last comments aren't so harmless as the ones before, most specifically calling people for not posting and pressuring @RiverMaiden to meet your expectations might be having a definitive negative impact on the RP in general. We don't want anyone to feel pressured into anything here. The most we ever do is presenting a scenario and telling people to act and if they don't do, consider their characters frozen, but like I said many times before, telling people how they should act or not is beyond even our authority as GMs and someone who isn't one really should look before doing something that might impair others' fun.

Plus, I advise you to take care when doing jokes about one of us, however, I can't speak on @TheWindel's place, so I'll let they say it in case they have any complaints.

@Pikmin Eye

Adversity generally breeds much better opportunities for character development than a world made of saccharine. Even if someone might think that we are being needlessly cruel or rushing things out, this is really the best method of story telling that we know of, nobody is hampering your actions or interactions, thereby you can develop in whatever way you think is best.

For this RP specifically we thought that it was best to cut the massive amounts of slow paced slice of life on the build-up intro arc and jump straight to where the action begins, since people sign in for a story where they expect to use their characters in a way (in this case, super-powered magic combat with cool pets), I don't feel like it's a good thing to strangle them to another genre, just to build a story that might even be irrelevant later.

In sum, we are doing our best to keep the story fun for everyone, so we appreciate this kind of feedback very much, since it allows us to see that we are going the right direction. Of course complaints/criticism are welcome as well, so that we can do our best adjust the RP to everyone's expectations.

You and @Eklispe have our thanks for your opinions up to now.

Sure, i'll be waiting for your replies first before we engage in the all out fight.

Hey, I know all eyes are on me in the situation. I just didn't want to clog the IC with back to back posts. So I decided to wait a bit and see what was going on around me. Since all I got was a statue awkwardly standing around, I guess it's time for my reaction to an angry crowd.

It will be posted within the hour, it takes time to write my usual humerus posts. After all, I was thrown back by the sudden change myself, thanks KoL...

@Pikmin Eye

No problem, you can always count on us to bring your daily rations on despair. :)

@Alina13
Do an introduction, and depending on where you are you could interact with certain people. Most of us are dealing with the societal fall out of fighting a Dissonance within the city's walls. Others are just interacting in other sectors of the town.

@RiverMaiden

@Alina13 As Rivermaiden said. You can do you own intro, but if you wanna interact with someone right off the bat, I suggest doing a quick read of the IC (Were aren't even halfway through page 2 yet). There's many good ways to begin as of now, just take one and run with it.

@Rakurai

Well, Claudia will only play it as a prank on Ravel, what Shakrais thinks or not might turn this either into comedy or drama, the choice is mostly yours. Ravel will just be pouting through it all, since she's 7/10 of gay for Claudia, like basically any other Spirit (They literally only live for their Song Knights, since w/o their bond they can't remain on the Human World, much like how the Crimson Lords of Shakugan no Shana are seriously over protective of their Flame Haze).

On the matter of absence, we usually don't kick people for disappearing, but instead "freeze" their characters. If the situation allows for it we can accept more people to fill the place, but we don't make a habit of forcing people that have gone absent for whatever reason to abandon the RP. Obviously anyone is still free to leave at any point they wish to, in this case we might or not negate them the chance to come back again later. It all depends on the situation and context.

@Rakurai

Hmm... you convince me in strange ways. Actually Claudia will milk the fun out of it, but marriages between humans and Spirits have been reported, mostly between an Spirit and its respective Knight, like how people can marry body pillows and visual novel characters on those weird places known as Korea and Japan. Outside relationships aren't that common though. Either way muggles and even other Song Knights/Spirits tend to frown at such relationships.

Even then, there's stories about half-Spirits, in the legends, though none of them has ever been confirmed to be true.

@Rakurai

I know, I know. I already have plans for Shakrais, to say the truth. I was just remembering people that meta gaming is bad thing.

Now, I just wonder how much money Claudia can squeeze of Sakrais, if he really wants to marry her Spirit?

Magical Notes - A Tale of Songs and Knights [Hiatus]

Hey guys, I have the slightest suggestion to you. Maybe acting instead of dilly dallying could get you all much better results, after all, your characters can't read the mind of one another IC, mind that.

Any plan that relies in a high amount of unspoken communication might be void as meta gaming, mind you.

To be fair he basically either had to go down easily or crush all of us, not much of an in-between. Besides looks like it was all a setup anyway. :<

Someone go it, thanks!

Magical Notes - A Tale of Songs and Knights [Hiatus]

Hmm, I would like to point out that Randar specifically prevented a rampage that would lead to peoples deaths by calming everyone down... and I thought it would take more then that to kill the Behemoth.

@Zardoric

I would like to point that I took that in consideration, but like with everyone else, his magic isn't omnipotent. There's a limit for how effective he can be, it has not been broken yet, but the outcome depends on you all now. As always.
