The past few days have been certainly something. I've thought about PRCU (and Ju-V) for awhile. Posted in the OOC/check a bit. Talked with some people here and there about their own thoughts and to just generally reflect on the situation.

To be honest, I do still want to RP Haleigh. She's a character I've had fun writing, one that I've constantly slung posts left and right out for. That being said, I was tempted to leave nonetheless. Admittedly, I've been simmering on issues with this RP, as seen above and in the DMs of the people I've talked to. This wasn't the first time I've had them, as @Lord Wraith would know when the "troll post" issue happened some months ago and ultimately led to a member of this RP being booted and banned from the thread (which itself is a whole another can of worms still half-open, IMO).

Despite all of this, I'm probably going to stay in the long run. However, this decision largely depends on whether or not communication and transparency can happen (for GMs and players). I genuinely do not think PRCU will survive without those two factors being part of it, as much of the drama we have had comes down to such matters. The inclusion of 12 new player slots. The "troll post". And now this. People on both sides end up feeling like they aren't being heard or consulted, leap to conclusions, lash out (myself included, which I apologize for if I've come off aggressive in the past), etc.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I need people to promise (and I mean actually promise, not "yeah, sure" and forget about it) to actually engage and consult each other for me to 100% confirm that I'm sticking around. There is probably a better way to phrase that, but if people are more willing to actually talk things out, rather than have a constant break down in communication like we've had in the past, then I can see this RP thriving and a lot of the drama we've had never occurring again. Otherwise, the cycle is just going to keep repeating and we're going to get nowhere, making it pointless to stick around.

Questioning the GM Format

No thanks. RPs will always die out regardless of what you do. Given people are anonymous here and elsewhere, there is no accountability to be had. Besides, these things rarely work well and/or for long outside of exclusive friend groups than with complete strangers. You're just replacing one person's absence and issues as a GM and multiplying it by X amount of group members, essentially.

I'm going to be honest. Between PRCU and this thread/RP, the GM/roleplay decisions are really starting to feel like this:



One person says one thing and takes it back later. Alternatively, one person says one thing while another says something totally different. It's starting to get frustrating with how back-and-forth this is becoming.

Post-P.R.C.U. Pitch Platter

I'm looking at doing so but retooling the premise to keep the tone distinct from PRCU, and wouldn't be accepting PRCU sheets.

@Roman

Could always combine Ju-V with that "escape the facility/runaways" idea you guys were thinking on.

Post-P.R.C.U. Pitch Platter

There are still quite a few people who have yet to decide on their status regarding PRCU, myself included. But if PRCU does continue onwards, I personally don't have an issue with Ju-V being ran alongside. Perhaps to lessen the blow of "uncomfortability" should PRCU still happen, Ju-V could require a different cast of characters, like @PatientBean mentioned. Of course that would cause issues with those who want to/might bring back their PRCU characters for Ju-V, such as potentially myself with Haleigh, but it'd break some of the linkage between the two RPs. I've got ideas to work with if that ends up being the plan.

And yes, no Zelda RP, please. Despite being a fantasy nerd, Zelda has never been a strong series that I've been interested in.

Might be best to do a head count so you can see where everyone is at, then.

I honestly don't know how I would fit Calli into the setting, but part of me doesn't want to lose her.

@PatientBean

I'm honestly the same way with Haleigh. I wasn't certain how to fit her into this story, since she isn't so much the "delinquent" part of things (criminal acts, for instance). But after talking to @Zoldyck, I think I can probably fit her into the setting off the fact that Haleigh had unintentionally collapsed a hospital due to her powers. Perhaps you could do something with how Calli froze the town square, or whatever it was? Maybe the ice froze the road and people got into car crashes or something.

So, to get things back on track, who/how many people are considering moving over their PRCU characters to this new RP? I know some people have already mentioned something along those lines, but I figured to ask now so we can all see where everyone is at.
