Ren✧ Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 [quote name='Saiba Aisu' timestamp='1337987404' post='5947008'] Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the RP so far. Now, I am going to visit some friends starting tomorrow, and I'll be busy until Tuesday morning. Should I go ahead and proceed with our first mission anyways? [/quote] I say no. We need the Gamemaster to guide us so as not to screw up something you already had planned. On another note: @Saiba: The time I told I would be gone for quite some time is quickly approaching. I leave this coming Friday. I will be gone for a week or so, during this time I will have no internet access. I don't know what you have decided to do for this...but I just thought I would give you a little reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiba Aisu Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yes, I remember, Renegade! I have devised a plan, hopefully we can get your character safely out of the way during the early phases of the mission. I'll try and see if I can make the post today (currently going through some emotional difficulties).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiba Aisu Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Alright, I'm free earlier than I expected, so I will probably make the GM Post at some point tonight! Hope you are all still motivated and ready to continue, things are definitely about to get more interesting in our little story... Stay tuned!

Ren✧ Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Totally pumped. Even watching Teen Titans right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think I'm about to watch some as well.. In the meantime, however, are you guys all familiar with a turn-by-turn fighting system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku-sama Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 How would turn-based combat work in an RP? Would it just be the RPers taking turns in beating the guts out of enemy minions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 We have implemented it before, Otaku, remember? When you and I worked together in Shards of Twilight. Basically, you are free to narrate your character's actions and attacks, as long as you fall short of actually describing those of the enemy.

Otaku-sama Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Oh, it has been far too long since the last time I've RPed with you. I can't really remember how that worked, but the description is succinct enough. However, I see that it requires constant posting by the GM in order to keep up with all the input from the characters. I wonder how you manage to handle it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah, that is how it works, generally. That's why I set the maximum limit at 5 characters total, so I can make sure that I can narrate exciting and yet realistic battle sequences. I've found that it's the best system, unless you have a suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 While I have never heard of this system, it seems to be pretty easy. I can describe my attacks as I wish, just so long as I don't say anything about them actually hitting my opponent, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yes, that's correct! And I apologize for the delay, everyone, I have no idea what could be taking Hydra so long to post.. I have already contacted him and informed him that he's holding us up, so hopefully he'll post soon. In the meantime, feel free to have your characters interact with each other. If you so desire, I can provide information regarding the mission through Luxa reading the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Mission information via Luxa could prove to be beneficial in terms of character interactions. Not only between those receiving the information, but also between the one giving the information, and those receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well.. I'm not tryna to double-post haha. We'll figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just made the newest GM Post, what do you think, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 i liked it. I thought it was well written out, and with enough leeway for us to respond. I'll probably get a post in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Joker Gang, eh? This is going to be fun. I like the GM post a lot. It provided as much detail as is necessary, and once at the scene of the crime, you placed us right at the literal start of the action. I'll get a post in soon as well. Edit: Posted. Will edit the IC post if deemed necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku-sama Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The intro was succinct and to the point. That's the way an RP should start. This will keep current RPers from losing interest and gets the posts flowing. Is the Joker Gang the only gang/main gang of the city or are there more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 As of now, the Joker Gang is the most notorious. But we will definitely see more groups that resemble them. I have actually done a lot of planning for this RP; in my mind (and in an xPad document) I have already planned up to mission #10, and all of them work together to form a consecutive plot that not only creates realistic and interesting conflicts, but also highlights different characters and provides opportunities to grow for each of the heroes. I'm glad to hear that you guys are enjoying the RP so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Glad that we are starting to get some action. Great GM post, and now that you point it out it does seem that the Titans just show up when there is crime afoot. Perhaps that has something to do with Raven's teleporting abilities. Saiba, I hate to be a broken record but in a matter of hours I will be leaving. Do plan on me getting hit with one of the projectiles from the Joker gang's weapons and then be in a coma-like state until I return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Renegade, thank you for bringing that up. My plan is for Kowen to be injured from several shots while protecting Luxa. I am waiting for Milani or Kresnik to post their attack, so that I can address the battle situation more efficiently. But yes, that is the general plan!

No promises though, and even if I do get access to a computer there will still be quite a few days of inactivity. Thank you for being so understanding about this situation.

Saiba Aisu Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's absolutely fine, don't worry about it. Thank YOU for being so responsible about it! I really wish Milani or Kresnik would post though. Meh I'll give them like two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren✧ Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'll have internet for the rest of the night, but that goes away early next morning. Just in case they don't post I don't think it would be too big of deal if you took control of Kowen just long enough to protect Luxa. I really want this RP to succeed!
