Havelock Vetinari Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) My characters in Po-Wahi are involved in someone else's plotline, I don't want to leave them high and dry, so I can't very well go on strike....I'm sorry, who exactly is Andrew?EDIT: There may be something to that committee idea.

Hanako Herupa Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Tuck's Guide on Common Sense in the BZPRPG is a good place and we should all read that rules and index page again and think for a few minutes.Let's get that school back on its feet, making it a place where characters can not only get better but the RPers as well. I remember there was a thing call RPG: Fit and maybe we could mash that idea together. That's kind of why I want Valria there, because there's somethings I want her to go through as a character, some demons she has to face. I think that idea could go really well, especially if it is (or has been established) as neutral ground and your character leaves grievances at the door. I remember Valria got in an altercation with Knife and Edge much earlier in this RPG, and if she met them there (which they probably aren't anymore) it would interesting to see how they are forced to get along if but barely.Huh, I thought Andrew was B6, cause I remembering read that staff profile thing on the front page, maybe I am wrong.

Mef Man Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Let's forget this strike business and what not. Let's just look toward making more serious characters whose plot lines aren't empty holes. I made a character recently and spent hours on him only to realize he was a piece of junk so I gave him up and moved on instead of trying to force him to do something comedic or something outside of his role. Sometimes you just have to move on...-Mef http://www.bzpower.c...t=80#entry44488 My BZPRPG characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havelock Vetinari Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Maybe we can appoint one of our own as a....judge....of sorts. Someone who, for the duration of Nuju's absence has the final say on such matters. Anyone who disobeys is ignored mercilessly. It's not the best option, but it's one we could make work.

This will obviously work.I'm sorry, it is a gread idea, but with so many players, it just won't work. Nobody is going to listen-people are going to get so fed up with anybody who is shunned that it'll just escalate into a flame way, and if it's an older player that a lot of people like, then things will just degenerate faster. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havelock Vetinari Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ah well. Maybe one of us should contact Black Six then. He has alot of authority and the ability to take critical action if needed.

shadow pridak money gang Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 For those who weren't in the loop a couple years back, RPG: Fit was a blog column run frequently by the now retired RPing genius known as Exo-Fat. Basically, every week (might've been every two weeks, can't honestly remember anymore) Exo would post a challenge in the blog for everyone to try and use for one of their RPG characters: stuff like trying to win a fight without using elemental energy, creating a character and trying not to get him a romantic interest for the first month or so, etc. etc. It was a pretty legit system back in late 2009 or early 2010, I have to say, but I can't see it working anymore.-Teezy ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow pridak money gang Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That just stifles creativity if you ask me, Tyler...-MefWell, that's certainly one way of looking at it, but what Exo tried to do was give you a set guideline and tried to get you to use your characters in ways they wouldn't normally be used: it was about encouraging creativity and trying to get you to try new techniques and methods you wouldn't have thought of otherwise.But like I said, in the present RPing climate, I can't see it working.-Teezy ＳＡＹ ＩＴ ＯＮＥ ＭＯＲＥ ＴＩＭＥ ＴＥＬＬ ＭＥ ＷＨＡＴ ＩＳ ＯＮ ＹＯＵＲ ＭＩＮＤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I was moving the conversation forward. So can I have a character that's part of the Po-Koro Guard but isn't a Po-matoran? I mean she'd live there but she wouldn't be a Po-matoran herself. I have another question on that for those of you on the guard: Is there any roles you currently have vacant, that needs to be filled?@Mef Man: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. However by putting you and your characters in these challenges it usually yielded better RPers.EDIT: Everyone always types faster than me.
