The current player is getting his arse handed to him by the last boss in Skyward Sword on hero mode. I'm in the chat under the same name as here.

[QUOTE="White Masquerade]Heyo. Don't look at me if this RP is slow ( ). All my business is handled. You're not in any simple Rps?

Simples run away from us due to time zones Masquey-tan.

If you like that sort of thing I'm watching a Legend of Zelda charity marathon. Twitch

Makes sense now that I think about it. Maybe you can suggest a part of the forum be divided by time-zones/world areas? That would massively help with recruiting players of your general area, yeah?

I see. Tell me, how did you find this site? As opposed to I guess, a European-centered RP site? Not saying I want you to leave, I enjoy having you here, but how did you get here?

Ig is right. It takes all of two seconds of sleep for a Simple to jump ahead five pages and kill off my character due to inactivity. Sometime GMs apologise and try and work me back in, but the it usually just leaves people with bad tastes in their mouths

LOL.


The 1st rp I joined on this site was a Simple one!!!! I know what you mean!!! I didn't know a thing about Rping, so when I was browsing the site and got 1 notif, i clicked it like, "Wow, that was fast."


Lo and behold the post was 3 sentences. AND,


There were 5-6 other replies to it already. Saying I was utterly devastated is an understatement. Never joined 1 again

I just googled 'roleplaying website' fell in and floundered about before dropping into a Pokemon RP which died after two weeks.

Twitch doesn't like my internet sadly. There's quite a few streaming site that seem to drop me to a standstill. Still, I do like the LoZ games, and the more I hear people complain about Link not being a girl or Zelda not being a more active fighter the more I want to bash peoples heads in with the lore of Zelda being the wielder of Wisdom and the like.


What I'd want to see is a strategy/fighter mix, where you play as Zelda in games of politics and moving your armies about, and then, when there's a fight, you swap to Link leading the frontlines as her mot trusted general or somesuch.

Oh yea, Simples also reminded me of the worst of Tabletop newbies.

That's cool. What decided to bring you here? I remember you told me you were hesitant about getting into Detailed RPs =). What gave you the push?

=P Explain tabletop to me. As much as I hear it, I don't quite know exactly what it is. The Tabletop RPGs that use official dice and systems right? D&D??

A)Haven't done tabletop in ages.


B) The guys that I last played Tabletop with had strayed from the traditional rules and focused on the storytelling. Having found that more fun, I found my way into RPs. It was a bit of a shift, but ultimately I haven't gone back to Tabletop since I started here.


C) Before you ask, I found this site by typing in 'Highly rated RP site' in google.


For the most part Tabletops follow the D20 rules and generally have a set rule book to follow.


For the guys I played with, we'd adjusted or altered many rules, making critical failures more along the lines of weapons breaking than some stupid happenstance of an arrow fired by you some how ricocheting back into your left arse cheek and altered a number of the other rules, as well as ultimately cut down the need for rolls to more optional things such as needling for excess info or searching for things you don't necessarily /need/ to have, and for boss fights.


Essentially we'd just made a point to make things far more realistic in how it worked and flowed.


That went on for... well, a number of years, probably two or three, and because of it I don't think I could even jump into a traditional tabletop again.

If you really want to split hairs, his older sister's death after the Fifth Holy Grail War is the catalyst for his transformation into Archer. Miyu's one of the magical girls along with Ilya and Ilya's weird Archer colored yuri clone.

Eh I'd been kicking around the interest checks for a bit looking for a detailed RP that didn't involve Kyero's trouser-filling CS requirements and a fandom I wanted to RP in, came across this one and saw a decent number of peeps already in sign-ups (though by my count we have only 4 of those who originally started left).

He had an older sister? Legit? Don't lie to me Gas. Was this an alternate universe?


@IG42


Lmao. IG please don't use words like "trouser-filling".


Yeah! I remember the 1st thread xD . Wowza. I know there was BLUR, Hellkite, Cipah, the 1 dude with the railgun ninja powers (Pfft), I'm glad that didn't transfer over here. TheSmashBro, fruitninja, and some others. I'm a bit bummed they didn't stay before things formed into gear, but hey, not even I would've thought this would turn into what it has now. If you told me last year we'd still be here in 2016 with 6-7 arcs and nearly everything complete, I would have snickered and blocked you (a joke).


One of my biggest joys was Shirokko able to find a beautiful ship *wink* *wink* Can't wait to get to the Gaidens.

Ilya is his older sister. She's actually older than him despite being a loli.

Would you like to hear a poem made specially for curing headaches?

@White Masquerade

OOOOOOOOHHHHH. I remember that! Okay, okay. That I knew. I thought you meant something else. Like they created a new one.

 

[izayoiix]

A poem to cure headaches...? Mom you know I don't like poetry...so if I do this, will it 100% work?

Lmao. IG please don't use words like "trouser-filling".

Lack of middle ground is the problem in most things =P


We started our modifications after, less than an hour into a game a botched roll on a healing spell for the party, as the rules demanded, wound up with more than half the party dead with no way of revival. This was meant for a multi day tabletop game. Needless to say, we quit and started talking about how to fix such nonsense later.


Another important thing to note was that we always made sure we had a gm that understood the fine line between leadership and totalitarian dictatorship xD


The 'trouser-filling' list of rules and regulations is usually what dissuades most from getting into dice rps, and the lack of proper common sense that comes with the failures or successes of such rules and the like never helped.


Examples being that where maxed perception rolls somehow allow people to run around enemies and shoot them in the back with 100% speed and accuracy. Makes no sense. Or, you know, a botched healing spell somehow killing seven people.


Finally, good examples for rolls:

• Speeding up a healing process. Failing the roll will make the process take longer.
  
• Spotting a spy amongst a crowd. Failing alerts who he's working for, winning just gains some info before her cyanide pills himself.
  
• Building a snowman for an orphanage. Succeeding earns the trust of the kids, which are all pickpockets and info gatherers, failing means you can expect to be missing some lyria(gold in that universe) when you need it.
  
• Convincing one to mark down a price. Succeeding makes it cheaper, winning makes it more expensive.

I mean...yeah there's like a small...maybe 90% chance it won't work now that you mention it. Maybe I just wanted to read my daughter a poem but, *coughs* you know what? I thought of something better. Drink some water and lay down Infi.

Hahah! This is wonderful. I'm glad you all recognized the issue.


And Veryanna. Why??? LOL. After I just told IG about his use of wordage? You go and do the same thing? You are a problem child. (o'v'o). Now those are some rolls and outcomes I can get behind. So this kind of thing would depend on an active GM then. I can dig that. You still had stats right? Or not even?

 

[izayoiix]

Maybe it'll put me to sleep mommy. Will you read it to me anyway?

[/QUOTE]
We would have stats, but rather than go from Failure-Normal-Gifted in the 1-10 ranks, we went from Normal-Experienced-Gifted, meaning that unless specifically stated no one in our group was specifically 'retarded' about anything in particular, unless they were for comedic effect, like a Orc Priest of Peace that, should he attempt to cook food, would always burn, though should he try to burn food, it would either, on a crit success, denigrate, or on a crit fail, turn into the best cooked meal this side of the galaxy.


We pretty much just made a point to ensure that everyone had fun and there weren't many chances to ruin any games right off the start. That's not to say there weren't challenges, mind, but it helped make sure that people weren't stuck in simple situations that couldn't be solved because their intelligence was too low to understand that you can throw a brick through a glass window to escape a shed they didn't have the lockpick skills to pick the lock on to get out. Or that fact that their intelligence apparently was too low to understand that the door was a pull not a push and it was never locked. They starved in there all because of a stupid intelligence check. How dumb was that? Why didn't they just yell for help either? Intelligence check to know the walls aren't sound proof.
