Retired huh? Do you mean like from roleplay or from the forum altogether?

I may have a few questions about the job, but considering my attention to this place as of late and recently I may be interested in throwing in my application.

Gainax Ending: An anime ending style name named after the show that started it. The creators of said anime didn't know if they were going to get renewed or not. So on the last episode of the first season, they just went all out wild with crazy stuff happening and it all seeming normal.

Just thought it'd be a fun idea.

actually, it's not named for the show that popularized it otherwise it would be called an 'Evangelion ending'. it's named for Studio Gainax, the makers of NGE, who have a reputation for pulling this more often than not.

No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Would this RP be salvagable if we took out the magical/tribal stuff and made it more slice-of-life? Or do you guys think that stuff is too important?

In my opinion, I think trying to retcon all the magical and tribal stuff from the island, the thing that made it unique would be a bad idea. I mean, if you take that out, all the tribals, the magic etc, you may as well make a new roleplay if this one becomes more slice of life. I mean, sure we could be turning it into an oasis vacation (which wouldn't be a bad idea) but we'd be dismantling what has already been established on the island and the lore. I'd be up for making maybe a vacation spot. But those are my views about that idea. Especially for those whose characters are in plot points related to the tribals and magic of the island.

I know I don't play this game, but you don't have to get rid of magical and tribal stuff for it to be slice of life.

Oh, I'm not saying retcon it. I'm just saying sideline it. Skip to say a month in the future when the current magical/tribal arcs will have been sorted out.

Basically timeskip and have players decide for themselves how their arcs played out? Their own resolution maybe so that way it may give the old roleplay closure while falling in line with the new stuff?

Exactly. Or at least ask Val how it was going to go and go from there.

If you really don't want to see this go, well. PM me, I might be thinking about picking this up if a retool of this roleplay is in order. However I'll need to talk to all whom were involved with the roleplay about current storylines.

This has been a really big and prosperous RP for a very very long time, so I really hate to do this, but it's been a long while so......is there anyone to pick this RP up?
