Have you ever tried to suggest the creation of a "blah-blah" Forum/thread where everyone could freely discuss and post things unrelated to Touhou ? Otherwise I'm not blaming you (opposingly to what could be interpreted from my last post); that's just that as a newcomer, I don't know if the GM is tolerant with slightly OORP talks. There :)
See, that's the thing. There is a section of the forum for that kind of stuff, but without the context of this thread, it's all meaningless.
The videos no longer have context and don't have as much value. It would all become a mindless drone of videos, no context, no particular reason.
If they're here, then they also have situational value, because in the end, half of the stuff we talk about on here, DOES have to do with the RP in some form or another.
Not only that, it also allows the RP members to form closer bonds that can last beyond the RP's lifespan. It can then go on to other things.
It would be a shame if we all just went our separate ways after the RP finally reached the end of its life, wouldn't it?
I would rather be with RP friends than RP members.
You see where I'm going with this?
Originally posted by S121 Every time I see a new post on the Forum, I feel like a little kid during Christmas, all giddy.
Yep I'm just sitting here... waiting for a post in the IC. Well anyways Tossman usually we do post stuff related to our characters and even the RP itself (like theme songs or songs related to our characters in some way) quite often. Usually we do get off topic completely, but we do go back on topic. As for the GM Major Mario said that he(or she) was leaving this RP a long time ago, leaving this RP in our hands mostly. However Major Mario does pop up every now and then.
@S121
Oh dear god do NOT bring up friends going their separate ways after an RP is dead!
The first RP I was in lasted a long time and me and the other members grew a bond and whenever one of us made an RP the others would go and join it. However we have been going our separate ways lately... haven't heard from most of them.
Though now I have new friends! Here!
(Besides this RP lasted far longer than the first one I was in. The first RP I was ever in only made it up to 300 or so pages.)
The other RP is more serious and as such, should be treated that way. Kilelicus is the GM of that one, so we do as he instructs.
Over here, we each keep each other in check. Basically, we are all the GMs.
There are many times when I want to give John (Master Chief) a little something extra, so I consult the community. If they approve, then John gets a new toy, if not, then back to the drawing board.
It's kind of like when I introduced John's Genesong Enhancements to the game.
In the beginning, it really was overpowered, but with the feedback of my RP friends (TM:p), we were able to come up with a more balanced version. Heck, there have been times when I've gone and told somebody that they should do something differently, but in the end, we all still get along.
I hold everyone's opinion in the highest regard and read as many posts as I can, trying to help people when they need it. Even more so to Major Mario. He was the creator of this RP after all.
Of course, (no offence) he dropped out and is now a spectator, a person that checks up on the story every once in a while.
Now back to my video/pic posting frenzy, I mostly stay on track with the RP, so there's no problem with me, is there?
Not unless they want us to stop posting and conversing with each other and take it to "Count to 10,000", but nobody goes there anyways, and we'll get chewed out for polluting the thread with RP stuff.
It always dies after a couple of hours, then Deathly has to bring it back to life.
In the end, I really don't see what I'm doing wrong.
Am I doing something wrong? I am posting things that relate to the RP, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Thanks to both of you for your wise words and for had took time to explain me the whereabouts of this RP. Now I can warrant than i'll not be the "Newbie that seemingly blames people and says erratic things" :)
Well, so this means I'm accepted, I think. Expect me in ~9 hours (It's midnight past at GMT+1, So...) :P
