 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
If there are too many players in one interaction, the RP gets slowed down to a crawl, because we all have different scedules and posting rates. For example, BlueAnubis posts around 12:00 for me almost once a day, which means I can only get one post per day. Think if HE was waiting on someone because they weren't able to post before he went off, because the person they were waiting on couldn't post because they weren't on and they'd been waiting for BlueAnubis. In that situation, BlueAnubis can post only once every two days. I know it's not really that structured, but that happens every time I see a large group of players in one scene: the rate and quality of posts goes down. Now, the idea of all 6 characters being in one place doesn't seem so bad to me at the moment, except that we just started this RP, and I'm not comfortable enough with my character to try and deal with large, chaotic groups. That's why I'm trying to introduce him to characters slowly and one at a time, not because I don't want to RP with certain players, but because I'm not comfortable with sticking our characters in a large group right now. Now that I've rambled on about that, I should get going for the next 5 hours, lol... Oh, by the way: yay for Sunset!

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Oh dear. I knew I should have been visiting this thread regularly, I've missed so much! Also Sunset sounds awesome, if I do say so myself. With her being a big sucker for novels and my character being a writer, I'm already imagining some fun hijinks that could come from our interactions. Also I had been planning on going to Cookie's, but I can understand how that'd be a problem. How about my sudden urge for pie lead me and the others to, I don't know, some pie shop or something that Sunset's also at?

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
You should check the OOC threads for new posts every time you check the RP for new posts. And Hate using magic to make it all complete. I liked my idea that the horn lead them to somewhere where there was free pie for them due to some rare occurrence.

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Wait... I thought she made potions... Wouldn't that mean she'd be getting ingredients from the Everfree Forest? 'Cause that would mean that she either went out and foraged herself, in which case Hate would have quickly introduced himself, or she bought them from someone who did it for her, which might even be Hate, as he actually lives out there... You sure she wouldn't know him? (I'm still waiting on Clyde.)

So, I have a question. Would you call their faces, "faces" or is there a more equine-like word for it?

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Short response while waiting for Clyde, and BAM! First titledrop!
Also, I just noticed that we use the same color... is it too late for you to try Orange (#FF8000)?
Edit: Oh wait, it's normally Red... Ok, that works for everyone I think...

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Well, I think my group is waiting on Blue Anubis. He was on today, but he didn't post, and I have no idea why... I guess he dropped out and isn't telling us? Anyway, I guess we should just keep going for now, since he hasn't posted or said anything to us... As for you guys, it's Zach's turn. Go take your turn Zach! Though I should ask, do you know what's going on yet with Penwright?

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Dropping out of it will make it even LESS likely to fly. I'm not adding anything either but I'm not dropping out of it. What we need to do is brainstorm how we CAN add something.

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
...You're not enjoying it at all? You're not interested in playing your character any more? You don't see any future progression for your character other than fading into the background? Feeling like you're "not adding anything" isn't a reason to leave an RP, only to think more about how you can add things. I was reading the D&D 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide 2 last night, and it went in depth about players who don't show alot of interest or don't contribute much more than a played character, yet keep showing up. The book made the point that such players add something to the game without the need for the GM to think about how to keep them interested. You're not hurting anyone by being a passive contributor to an RP: the only thing a player ever really needs to contribute is a character and someone to play them regularly. Just because you're not the center of attention or the one driving the action doesn't mean you're a bad player, it just means you're only contributing the minimum amount. That being said, I don't want you to drop out. I think you guys should have your pie eating contest for a few posts and then maybe think of an arc in which you would be interested in playing your characters. Perhaps the abandoned manor I was mentioning earlier? (Penwright IS a horror-writer, and being easily frightened means he'll 1) have the progression caused by facing his fears and 2) be entertaining when scary things happen. Right there, I've made Penwright a contextually interesting character.)

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
I have come to a decision. Despite his intelligence, Pen shall be...the Caboose of the group. [If you know what I mean by this, I love you.]
Also to Rockstar: it's not that I wasn't enjoying it. I was just worried I was lessening how much others were enjoying it.

*shrugs* Well, this isn't really the place to go into length about it, but in the internet machinima RedvsBlue there's a character. His name is Caboose. He is very special.

Why? Couldn't think of how to make his character interesting as is? I thought you were going for a Stephen King thing: quirky horror writer with lots of fears...

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
Sorry, I just don't want you to short-sell your character. The initial concept was good, and so far you've roleplayed him well. I just don't see the need for you to make drastic alterations that you'll have to deal with later... I'll stop though.

 Re: MLP:FIM RP: Grand Castilia OOC
If you ask me, I think Caboose is probably the smartest character (at least on the Blue team), he's just more child-like than any of the other characters. He is far more innocent minded in the ways the world works than most people, so that innocence somes off as a lack of intelligence.
