Stellvia [Always Accepting] (Hey, these things in parentheses are hip, right?)

I know how I'm going to create my race, and what they're going to be like.

Forsythe is gonna hate me.

Stellvia [Always Accepting] (Hey, these things in parentheses are hip, right?)

I'm slowly freeing up time, I got a couple of more things to do then I may be able to put some focus here.

PM me your idea, and we'll see what we can do.

I'm new to the forum, so I'm not entirely sure how to do things here. Not including me, we have five people who already want to join (@clericbeast, @Shotgun Bear, @lydyn, @Warm Regret, and @Dead Cruiser), one person who may join later (@Sep), and three people who followed me here from Kongregate FGF and will probably join (@BCTheEntity, @Behemoth542, and @gammaflux). This means we have enough people to get the game going already, right? Do you guys think I should make the actual game thread today?

@JohnSolaris

You can make the OOC thread whenever you want, same with the IC. I mean you have a good strong base with players so go for it I'd say. Your the GM, you're in complete control. Do things your way, you just gotta conform to the way the guilds laid out.

Blatantly Over-Powered Characters

Theres a difference between exciting and well thoughout fights and fights where people refuse to lose. I've been in arena roleplays in the old guild and I've seen really good battles. I'm talking about the kind of fights where youR guy lands a clean blow after spotting a mistake their character made and they do stuff like "X saw the hit coming and braced himself, thanks to this, his channeling of his magic spell was uninterrupted. He then intermediately unleashed a fiery explosion in a 20 meter radius so that C couldn't dodge." That sort of metagaming nonsense.

YEAH, THESE PEOPLE MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL.

@Animus

Yeah my favourite fight is still one with one of my good Guild mates, we haven't had our PCs fight since then but I just can't find a fight with that level of awesome anymore :P Most people are like "hurrdurrwin"

In the original Jedi Exile on the Old Guild things were fine, then the GuildFall happened. I tried to revive it on the NuGuild and I had badass space Jedi joining (I was willing to let it slide this once though). They all ran off towards the massive clone army who had gunships and fighters and tanks and bigger guns basically.

Safe to say they died.

Blatantly Over-Powered Characters

Sometimes I feel people should lose fights if it fits or if its for the benefit of the story.

I'd have had roleplays where my character fought with another and they'd use metagaming nonsense and the fight would drag on and on. They'd predict the attacks and dodge everything. So I always choose the lose option. Is losing that bad though? I find it fun if it fits the story and helps develop my character. I just find it annoying that other people insist on winning all the time.

Battle posts almost end up in the sequence like 1. X shoots attack, 2. C predicts attack and counterattacks, 3. X knew a counterattack would be coming and has laid a trap for it, 4. C instantly spots the trap and avoids it, blablabla.

Some people outright refuse to do anything stupid, have their characters make mistakes or lose fights.

@Animus

In terms of plot fights, I quite often purposefully make them difficult. If players in one of my roleplays try something dumb and heroic they tend to end up deceased.

The Heroes

My RP list is pretty full, so to be fair I won't post a sheet up to give others the chance.

Blatantly Over-Powered Characters

@Sep Fair enough; it's just very easy to say your character is inexperienced and then completely ignore it.

@Jig That actually sounds kind of fun, in a goofy sort of way.

@BelatedGamer

Which is why I use their history or knowledge of them to judge it. It's not something I do myself or let other people do freely.

Reclamation - War of Technology and Magic

Well that's certainly your opinion, but we all play our characters as we see fit, don't we? ^.^ I am a hopeless romantic in real life, so that often translates to my personas, but I don't see why that is something to look down on. The only part of why I focus on the sexual orientation is because in my real experience with role-plays, it's hard to find others [as in characters who share the same orientation]. That just seems to be the culture from what I've learned.

Don't assume just because it's a bit sad that I can't have my characters do and be other things. Also I might add that I've mentioned her sexuality and wanting love only a total of two or three times in the entirety of her profile, so how you came to the conclusion that's all her identity is about confuses me - and yes, it is a bit offensive to me that without even knowing me or my role-play style that you decided to somewhat rudely judge my characters and my ability to role-play and even so in public.

Please, if you must judge or assume, do it in PMs, so it's easier to correct in a private setting. Thank you. ^.^

@lydyn

It's what I got from what I read

Sep

I said things from what I saw, I didn't read everything. I call things as I see them, I wasn't judging you personally. I call things as I see them, if you want to take offense that isn't my fault I don't dish out anything offensive or rude, and I didn't say your characters defining plot WAS their sexuality and wish for relationships. I gave a recommendation.

Reclamation - War of Technology and Magic

As a bystander can I just comment your characters sexual orientation shouldn't be their defining plot. It's what I got from what I read and I'm not the GM so hey, what do I know. But Straight Chars don't revolve around solely being straight and that isn't their defining trait so it should work both ways.

I mean he may do things differently but from roleplays, especially with the likes with this scope shouldn't hinge upon romance too heavily or they'll end up seeming corny.

Reclamation - War of Technology and Magic

I will probably keep an eye on this, and possibly join in the future but right now I'm busy worldbuilding of my own to give my players more to draw on.

Though its a really nice looking concept, I'll be snooping around now and then :P
