Well, well, that's certainly interesting. Let me see...

1 - The length of the skirt is officially set to bellow the knees, though the actual uniform everyone is provided with comes with a standard ankle length skirt. You character can always be one to play around technicalities, if she feels like it.

2 - Zipper, to make them easier and more comfortable. The ribbon is just additional decoration, though it has to be tied, not premade.

3 - As one bit of anachronism, I'm more in favor of modern style underwear being introduced a few decades before they became common place IRL.
Sounds like student council would be fun. Too bad disciplinary committee is not going to be a thing, as that was my original idea.


We can make it a thing if you want to. It's not like the school has any specific structure at this moment.
Goddamn, I'm surprisingly having trouble deciding what kind of character I want to play as.


I'll probably post again tomorrow. It would give me time to think of a plan Regina would think of because the princess's plan is insanely high risk for everyone involved for low reward needs work.




PS: Think of the glory! Think of the ladies (even if you are one of them) falling in love with your war stories!
How is the student body structured? Is there like a student council or disciplinary committee?


Sorry for the lateness of the reply.

Either way, since this is anime inspired, a Student Council is a must have, though it's definitely less omnipotent than those on japanese anime schools tends to be. It'll really be just a representative unit, to facilitate teacher-student communication. A disciplinary comittee is unlikely, thought. It feels rather out of place in a boarding school.

All of you are reading far more into it than my posts were supposed to mean. It's not even a matter of poor wording on my side but rather of you jumping to conclusions. Let me explain it by parts, in the most neutral and educate way possible:

- While it may be true that no warning was needed, given that players should be able to understand that their actions may have consequences and realize when or not their characters are in potential danger, experience as GMs told us that this isn't the case for everyone. A mature player should be able to take a simple friendly warning without getting offended.

- We, especially I, don't like to kill, or cause any permanent damage to PCs whether it's rightful or uncalled for. I just don't see the fun in doing this as a GM. Plus, like I said above, a lot of players don't have the maturity to accept the loss. Therefore, avoiding it whenever possible is the best conduct from both GM and player's sides.

- That said, we will not hesitate to penalize players that had been warned, some times more than once, both IC and OOC about the possible consequences of their actions. Otherwise, the story would lose any sense of tension.

- Adding to the points above. Experience also told us that general warnings are good (I think all of you notice that we try to keep as many channels of communication open as possible), but directed ones are more effective. This is a simple management procedure. Blunt warnings capture a person's attention much easier, thus they are more efficient in getting the message through. Again, you need maturity to take them and not feel offended.

- I may have misjudged your capacity to interpret my words but know that it was because actually, I had a high opinion of all of you as a group of players. This RP is the most enjoyable I'm GMing at the moment and the fact that the first big problem for it only came up now, shows that most of my trust wasn't misplaced. I still keep my opinion about all of you, by the way. One bump in the road shouldn't be enough to ruin the ride, even if it makes it less pleasant than it should be.

- That said, I'll try to be more mindful of my phrasing, in the OOC, in the future. Since I may have misjudged the level of emotional development of some of you. I don't want to bring age and lifestyles on this thread, so please, don't mention it, I realize we are very much like a mixed bag and it's very good this way.

- However, I hope that you don't take any future comments, warnings, etc., that are made in a milder language as patronizing or snide. If you do so, we will be in a Catch 22 situation where the GMs are always in the wrong. A discussion can't be maintained under such conditions.

- Lastly, we will not tolerate uncalled for disrespect, especially when one of the sides doesn't even allow the other to justify/clarify their point before slamming the metaphorical door on their face. We will be very emphatic with this. We are treating you with the utmost respect and will demand the nothing less from you.

- To conclude, @Mercurial, I said this:

I'm sure that Leon (when/if he's around the group and feels like cooperating) can make some more to help with whatever Regina is thinking.


Because I don't control your characters action. The decision to help or not was supposed to be yours. I thought that it was a given, but sadly you've mistaken even something so basic. I should add as well that it was a consideration made because he did show a growing dislike for authority in the IC (for uncalled for reason that doesn't concern this discussion, should I say), so it was just situational remark. It wasn't ill intentioned, but then again, some things need a bit of maturity to take and don't get offended.

You clearly demonstrated that you have neither maturity or know the basic principles of civility. I can't argument with or GM to a person that behaves like this.

From now onward you are banned from this RP. Don't worry about your character, though. Like I said, I don't take a single bit of pleasure from killing PCs. I have my own characters that I can kill, main and rape while feeling guilty free. Leon will just be missing and nothing else.

That this is the end of the discussion. Anything else, take it to the PMs.
Hmm, I think I see an opportunity for Regina to take a lead at least somewhat. That is, if no one objects. I already see a couple of holes in princess's plan.

That being said, is there anything else in the village like holes in the ground or a place any Rocs are landing by chance?


Well, no plan is foolproof, if she can help it, she'll be welcome.

Anyway, the rocs can always land on top of the other buildings, but they'll hardly do so, since those birds almost never touch the ground. As for holes, the only big one is the well in the middle of the village square. I'm sure that Leon (when/if he's around the group and feels like cooperating) can make some more to help with whatever Regina is thinking.

There are trees growing in some parts of the village as well, but they are much taller than most of the buildings. There's a ruined Roman-style aqueduct nearby as well, hidden among the woods and undergrowth. This one will require better eys to see, but Regina should be able to do it, since spotting is her expertise.
By the way, @Leotamer and @Mercurial.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but if Natus and Leon keep isolating themselves from the group, they are going to get ambushed with increasing frequency.

I just want you to be aware of this once more. They are not on a trip to Disneyland. Consider this a fair GM advice, but behave however you see fit.

I don't want you to think that we are singling you two out. Anyone who does that will suffer the same fate.
There it's.

A post for those who think that the leadership is being inneficient as well as for those who failt to picture how a typical village can be used to turn the fight into something far more funny and engaging than just exchanging blows with an overgrown chicken.

When you try to do something like this and are uncertain, all you have to do is ask, and we will answer any doubts you may have. Think a bit outside of the box, and I'm sure that you'll find somethin entertaining everytime.

The fact is that I was really hoping that one of you would ask if there was any options you could use to turn the fight to your advantage, but since no one did, I had to demosntrate it.
Aim for some cougars, I hear they are pretty unforgettable.
