Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

No way this could be a spoiler.

I do believe that Blake is my favorite. I can see why you said what you did about her development, Plank, but I enjoyed it more than Jaune's constant blundering. It's not totally necessary in my eyes to see a character change cell by cell; witnessing the final product and understanding what took her there is fine for me. Blake definitely interests me the most out of the main four.

I do agree about the fight though. I was waiting for someone to do something cool (bringing opponents in from around the world is a great opportunity to get really creative and awesome!) but only Reese and Arslan did remotely anything and the others made me more disappointed in Remnant's average manliness level. Hopefully they'll put up foes more entertaining than funny-haired punching bags in the future.
Dangit, three days past and no post from liferusher or cirusarvennicus.

I'm tempted to just give a summary post so we can move to the next day, and probably will tomorrow morning.
Just watched the new episode, I'd give it a solid 'fine' appraisal.
As a sort of halfway/meeting point. I could try my hand at creating Bianca's older sister? She could be a senior student, have very limited knowledge of team VGNB for interactions with them but be on team JSS_. That way hopefully everyone can be somewhat happy?


This is a great idea.
Whoa whoa whoa. First, I haven't approved anything. Last I checked, this was still pending. Here, take a look at what Write and I said in PM:

Lugubrious: She couldn't do that (have been a freshman) and then suddenly become a senior. I'm afraid the only option is to have a freshman Bianca transfer or to have a retcon to make her a senior all along.
Write: Hm, that's completely fair. If I have her transfer on another team, I suppose she can still interact and what have you with VGNB, correct? ...and a five man team is completely unreasonable I assume.
Luboobrius: Not completely, but it'd be a pretty big break in the mold.
Wright: Well what could I do to help it along, at this rate I'm ready to be pretty damn flexible.
Lubeboobprius: Not me though. Ask the other four if they'd be okay with it.

And the other four were okay with it, but I hadn't confirmed it, just given my approval for a new mission the bunch conceptualized that the team could do if approved. I knew looking at the idea that there would be nothing, in RWBY canon or HOB canon, to support such a thing. I enjoy being generous and forgiving, particularly if family tragedy has taken place (as it has in different respects for both Write and Awsomoman), so I would have liked it if both guys could get back in. That does not, however, mean that I would have, as @Plank Sinatra implied, been picky and choosy about who I let back in. Any character belonging to someone who's dropped out but now wants to return, as long as it wasn't in poor circumstances, can do so. This are actually not the first cases; both Kaithas and Krayzikk were semi-officially booted for a span of months before they said 'hey, I'm here' and I welcomed them back.

One of the reasons I considered the possibility of a five-man team is that there is exactly one freshman spot available: Stein's. I've been swayed by the majority opinion and various arguments to lean against the possibility of a five-man team, but then one person doesn't get their character back. The other open position, Pannette's, is a senior. This RP is, to put it simply, full up. As roleplays go we're a bit of a bloated mess, kinda always have been since the start, carrying on the tradition begun by Irish Tree.

Therefore, my decision is this. No team exceeds four. Out of Awsomoman and Write, one of you will get the freshman slot on team R_GD, and the other the senior slot on JSS_. You can decide among yourselves if you like, but otherwise I would be more inclined to give the freshman slot to Awsomoman's Trad on grounds of seniority, greater time served, and more content made before leaving. That would leave Write to retcon Bianca into a senior or (much more preferably) say that Bianca was waylaid in Mistral and create a senior character. We could still interact with Bianca in the mission, but she would not be joining a team back at Beacon due to trauma or something in that vein.

Being a GM of a huge RP is like walking across a room filled with people with big feet: I have to navigate to the end, but sooner or later I can't help stepping on a few toes. The only thing left is to decide how many, and if I screw up the universe in the process. My apologies. I hope I've made the write decision.
Honestly half of the reason for Clem being in Roanapur is because going from TWD to talking ponies and cement mixers without anything in between would've been the sort of contrast that would convince her either that she had lost it, or that it was all a dream, and in either case it wouldn't really be Clementine if I RPed her as crazy or like she thought none of it were real.

The rationale I've talked with Grey about is more that either a mix-up or specific ploy by the guy that brought everyone sent her to Roanapur and Krieg to Mahora.


Now I know.

Braindrain?


You know

Dern, that 'could' have been entertaining, but She's not the villain type, so I figured Mahora was kindof where she was 'supposed' to go >3>


Well, Clementine did get into Roanpur not because she's a villain but because she's a killer and the universe she comes from. Doesn't the player character fight Undyne in Undertale anyway? Whatever. I'll find someone else to pick on, like Invisible Man.
I come to visit after a long ass time and what do I find? Puns.

*slow clap*


Go 'way. Hi
