The Battle for FableWood - OOC

I feel like I am getting mixed signals on your views on this Gaia website. You say its addictive but also money sucking. Addictive is cool, but I greatly need my money for living. lol 
Either way, RpNation was the first site I found that actually had competent players on it, with immersive stories and intelligent conversations. The subject of moving the RP to a different server has come up before. My input would be that I think leaving RpN would be a tad extreme. The site just got a MAJOR overhaul, and like many of confirmed, it was to lead the way to the future of the site and make things easier. As many of us are gamers from what I have gathered, the reference of the first month of a new Blizzard game should make sense to many of us. If we give it time, and let the dev's fix the bugs that we help find, I wouldn't be surprised if many change their tunes on the new site and its functionality. ^^

I personally don't have a preference on whether this moves or not, but since I heard some peeps talk about it I figured I'd point out what's probably the easiest and most stable site to transfer to. Gaia's solid as a host to RP communities and Silverflyte already knows how to use it to create and manage a guild, which functions essentially like what we have here right now but without the glitches. I don't spend a cent on Gaia, but since it -does- bombard you with spending temptations and has that addictive quality, I get the feeling that not everyone's wallet would remain untouched if such a move did occur. 


That said, I am content to just adapt to RPN as it is, with or without bugs, and the mixed signal is intentional (and maintained) so that in case anyone's keeping tally, my vote remains neutral. ouob

lol Neutrality is a hard ground to keep sometimes, but I see where you are coming from there. ^^ 
Apparently, I actually made a Gaia account about 2 years ago. Which is not surprising cause about 2 years ago I started looking for a new Rp home. Not sure why I passed it, the avatar system is pretty neat. But I just checked it out and it had account information saved on my computer. lol the activity says I made the account over 2 years ago. xD  may poke my head around it just to see what's what.

The guilds are where it's at for RP, Barton Town stuff dies often and dies fast because nobody in the group keeps tabs on each other. People poof and don't come back. 


I have the same username there, if you wanna add me!
 
Definitely would have to side with Crooked on the whole moving subject. I just feel like the mods moved to this new site and have been working diligently to fix the problems, all for the sake of the RPers. Thus, I feel like we almost owe it to them to be patient and understanding while they work through all of these kinks. It's not like this site is permanently broken.
 
Oh okay.


So I was happy to post with Arianne knowing that nobody did yet.


And when I posted suddenly 4 more posts appeared above mine.


Well played, RPN
 
If it helps any, mine, Bolts, and Crooked's posts were all separate from where Arianne is. So, less for her to react to. ^^'
 
@Naloth Not trying to be a bother here, but am totally hyped to continue the Ty scene so Leandra can figure out that she can actually heal the demon horse back to normality. Sooo, any idea when you'd be able to respond again? xD
 
*is dead*


College update from Flutter: Classes are challenging but so far the work load seems to be manageable. I put my email down from four or five organizations and I think I will probably be sticking with two of them in addition to the one that is based in my residence hall (Civics and Service House). Engineers Without Borders will be a very good experience, I think. Im hoping to join the newer project and stick with it through all four years. The other is athletic. Ive been going to novice practices for rowing crew. So far I like it- great workout, nice people, fun group. I probably dont fit with all of their fun, seems like the group can get pretty rowdy on weekends. I will be skipping that part, I think. But other than that, I really like the rowing crew. So thats what Ive been up to ^^

 Wow, I got notifications for this. Anyways, I doubt Ian would be able to do anything, except to try to comfort Ty. I'll just have him as a bystander until after that scene.

I came from Gaia. When I checked it last it was a shadow of what it once was. It dropped from over 80,000 active members to something like 30,000 and the quality fell to levels that stretched my patience. The avatar system was cool, I donated to the fundraising causes I liked the most, but I can restrain my spending quite well usually so the temptation rarely became a problem ^^. But I admit it is there.


The rp quality here vastly out-weighs the majority of what's on that site. maybe its different now, I haven't been back in over a year. But I like the community here, I believe its still growing....that being said however I just learned they will not be fixing any of the coding here...so I would be eternally grateful if when you all have time you could rework your profiles. Looks like we'll be cleaning up the mess from this move.

Sounds good boss. I have already had to redo several CS' now, so I have a pretty good handle on what you can do with the new system. I will start reworking Leo and Otto's CS'. Should I post them in the new Character Sheet tab on the home page?
 
I'm confused. Where does it say that they aren't going to fix the coding for us? >.<

They might the only problem is it could take supposedly months rather than weeks till they do.  Though not 100% certain on that.

Oh. I mean, as long as they fix it eventually...


Anyways, @SilverFlight, as I am spending today playing my new Deus Ex game that I got just yesterday and won't be able to play it again until I return in December, I'll work on fixing my CS for Luness and Leandra later this week once I'm more settled in my dorm room in Canada.


Speaking of, I fly out this afternoon to Canada, guys! Woo! :D

Have a great time in the great North! Hope they introduce you to Snow taffy and beaver tails and teach you how to paddle a canoe :3

Snow taffy? Beaver tails? Wuh? 


I have, at least, used a kayak quite successfully before so I feel good about that lol. Not a big fan of doing a lot in the water, but if taking a canoe or kayak somewhere could get me some amazing shots on my camera then I'd be willing. :P

In BC That's a guarantee.
 
Ok, I am so seriously teed off with this site. They tell me to redo the coding, nothing bloody well sticks. I try to replace the images and they break down in one page reload.


I'm grateful for the effort but if I'm honest, this is really been very poorly handled so far.

Agreed. Re-working the CS might prove quite frustrating.


On that subject, do you want the re-done ones posted in the CS thread, as their own separate thread (site seems to be formatted so each character is supposed to be its own thread under Characters), or will there be a new thread for all of the new sheets?

For now, I would try to edit the ones we have, failing that hide those and re-post. But if the site is going to be difficult there's no point.

The first thing that Im noticing it there doesn't seem to be any way to use any formatting inside of tabs. No bold/italic/underline, and it doesn't matter how many times I hit Enter, its a giant block of text when I refresh the page
