The New OOC and Hangout

Reader mode
I just thought that imposing such an limit like this, suddenly, would be unfairly excluding Gus and Lioness, because he already has his 6 and Lioness had been planing for the twins since she joined.

Okay, Gus said he won't do more, but what about Lioness?? She's not even around and aware of this because she's having tests right now, so she can't even defend herself.

Suddenly we're telling her she can't have more characters, even if she crave a new idea? This feels wrong
Like we're acting behind her back! One of our members! >~<
 
Aww, Nessy! Whatever rule I choose, I won't apply until Episode 6. And I'll make a big announcement about it too.

But also, if I apply my 20% rule to active episode 5 users, we should have had a hard character limit of 4. XD

This, is comforting. Because I'll be honest, if I was in her position and came back to something like this, I would have felt betrayed ^^'

Aegis is a RP, but it's also a community. We talk, respect and befriend each other. And this is why it works, why it's stuck for so long.
Something like this could have changed things, perhaps beyond repair...

I admit, I'm still not.. myself after the whole being at parents thing, so apologies if I took stuff too far, specially Sy who I still think I said too much towards >~<

Battery is dying, I'll check in later
 
I think, like Sin Lemon, more than 6 would be a bit too high, in fact I think 6 is pushing the limits as it is. As for Lioness "not being here to defend herself" I think that's a bit extreme/dramatic, it's not like we're accusing her of anything and we're not asking her to ditch characters without her say so. She'd still be within the 6 characters even with her two new additions so it wouldn't have an effect on her unless she wanted to make even more characters, which to be honest I'd take issue with anyway.
 
It's okay Nessy!

I honestly think you need to reconcile not everyone will be 100% happy.

There are people think the limit should be less than six, and already dislike how many characters you can have.
There are people who think a limit of six is good, and eight is too much. (Although I hold this is the majority)
There are people who think a limit of eight is good, and six is too few.
There are people that think any limit is bad.

Coming into this with the presumption that maintaining the status quo will keep everyone happy is wrong. I, for one, want rules and I'm not alone in that. And from person to person the people who want a cap disagree somewhat with each other. And Gus I believe doesn't want a cap. I realize Lioness might be upset if she can't write more characters, or Gus could be in the future, but how many people being upset that there's no cap is that worth? I'm trying to find something that is fair and agreeable to most people. There's no way everyone will walk away happy just like not everyone was happy with CCP.

We've already seen what 6 characters is like with Gus's posting (and I'm not saying he is bad for being so active), and with Lioness's posting history and cranking that up to 6... that is a lot of characters between two people that will dominate a lot of the story. That's not saying it's bad story, but I joined to be a big part of the story! I think everyone did. And I don't want to have a smaller and smaller piece of the pie.
 
In other news, I finally managed to post as Aaron in the story of the Integration of Kingsley Rothlundt.

Aaron is beginning to regret going alone and is calling for backup.

Hope you all enjoy the story. (I am enjoying exploring the vulnerable side of the invulnerable man)

A Blue Card Vigilante Group Focusing on Stopping Super Crime​

STEVEN is a Blue Card vigilante group run by ex-DCPD Sergent Charlie Harkins. He formed this organization to help stop the rampant super crime that exists in this area from DC to Baltimore. Sure, the Commonwealth also promises that, but they are far more bureaucratic than one should believe. STEVEN offers a chance to be a hero without the limitations of government. Though do keep everything will be within the law. STEVEN is the first and foremost blue card vigilante group in the area.

We need able-bodied people to be able to take down evil supers at a rate that the Commonwealth wished they had. We organize and deploy at a quick fast rate, and we also supply health care and other resources with a far easier ease than anyone else. Commonwealth is a corrupt and crazy organization. STEVEN promises to be transparent, and more like a super team than any government office would ever manage to be.

Please join STEVEN and its quest to remove all super-crime. Also, isn't it awesome to join a superhero task force? It is.

So if you want to kill off any characters for a fresh start.... we have plenty of bullets...
 
THIS IS IN NO WAY BINDING.

Please vote at the link below what you believe the character cap should be (it includes an option for no limit). I started the poll at 4 characters because Welian indicated that was the lowest she'd even consider.

LINK HERE!!
 
So I voted for six. I believe I am the only one at that limit currently, and I don't think it would be fair to limit new players to four or less if they want more

I also feel the need to say though, that I don't feel the option for 'forced retirement' down to four feels very fair to me. I worked hard to earn the CCPs necessary to get those six, and I have developed them all pretty assiduously since their acceptance. It is a little hard not to take that option personally.

I guess I am not sure why the CCPs are going away either... All the data is still in a spreadsheet that would not be very hard to update for posts in episode five. I hadn't done because nobody was bucking for 'promotion' as it were. A hard cap of 6 on top of CCPs seems like a good compromise to me.
 
I was under the impression that the ccp had been ignored for a while. I mean i probably dont have enough for 4 characters, yet here i am, with 4 submitted profiles
 
Not certain, but I think you do have that covered actually. Iirc, you had either 9 or 12, plus two more (closing on 3) for episode five. But I just woke up and I can’t find link
 
Ok, found the link. Giyari Giyari you actually have 7 more CCPs left even after adding Millie D. and the Knight (assuming the knight is E rank...) Feel free to make an S rank for your fifth slot. ;)

I will be adding new (old) people to the roster this morning and updating totals.

Y'know, just in case we want to not abandon the system.

Millie is C rank, and the Knight is D (Human)
 
I added options based on what people in DMs told me their preferences are. I don't know what anyone voted unless they explicitly told me. While you may not agree with it Gus, and you might not feel it's fair, there are certainly people who think that 6 characters is far too many. And that's what the poll was meant to do- figure out what people wanted in a place where they were free to vote without anyone taking their opinion personally, chastising them, arguing with them, etc. I didn't want anyone's voice drowned out because they saw the drama in the OOC thread and didn't feel safe to voice their opinion. Or for them to feel that people didn't care.

As of today the results are:

6 votes for 6 character limit
2 votes for 4 characters with old characters grandfathered in
1 vote for 4 characters with players forced to reduce to 4 if they have 4+
2 votes for no cap
----
11 votes

Most people favor 6 character cap limit.
The second most favored limit is 4 (disagreement on what should be done with more characters).
The least popular is no limit.
 
When I get to her post (I want The Fuzzy Pixel The Fuzzy Pixel to post for Logan first), Susan is going to try to evacuate everyone on the pier, where most of the crowd should be. PLEASE let me know if you do NOT want your character evacuated. The only person she 100% can't rescue is Aaron because he's too heavy to be lifted and she's simply incapable of moving him like she will try to do for NPCs and willing PCs.

I'm 100% decided that Juliana and Mitch are invisible and hiding already at that point, perhaps against a wall somewhere.

Gus Gus came to me with this idea that maybe Kendrick and Manami are stuck in a net. We didn't discuss it much further, though I am willing to go this route. (And other Snowglobe members may join this as well)

And I'm still to run this by Ixaix Ixaix and Lioness075 Lioness075 but I wanted Cecilia's parents to be stuck somewhere inside the building so that Scarlet and Hyou could team up to rescue them, so maybe don't mention them at all as well so that I may add to it afterwards whether the idea is accepted or not? >w<

So, from me, for now, you get Cecilia to rescue.
Will get back to you ASAP if anything changes!
 
If the vast majority of the characters don't want to be rescued, and want to stay in combat with the psychopaths that are going to turn violent in another round of posting possibly, then I don't think I'll have Susan stage a rescue. The intention was to 'save' and remove characters from combat that do not want to be in combat because their characters are ill-suited for it, they don't want to be harmed by the Knights, etc.

I will say, though, that in the Knights post the exam had just concluded, so most everyone is on the dock or whatever because they are wrapping up, cleaning up, Swan is giving a speech, etc. so regardless of how the scene unfolds, MOST of the characters should be outside. There is nothing inside the facility for guests and I can't imagine the volunteers want everyone roaming the building. A few characters? Sure! Half the cast wouldn't make sense, though.

No, no. You misunderstood me, except for the Juliana thing, nothing I said is 100% fixed and other than the thing with the parents (that might not even happen!), everyone IS outside.

The thing is, part of the cast may be trapped inside the nets that did get mentioned in the Knight collab (I missed that fact on a first read, so I don't doubt others might have missed it too), so Susan would have to grab those people too... Can she? Will she? Now that's something for you to decide...
Juliana and Mitch will be hidden but it doesn't mean they can't tag along as well, I didn't make the post yet, but it might get a lot clearer once I do.

But again, most of this is not fixed. It's mostly brainstorming. They're ideas that haven't been properly thought through yet.
I'm just letting you know things beforehand anyway... It stroke me as the right thing to do!
 
I think it would be quite humorous for Sam to attempt to heroically, and quite speedily, save Kendrick from any stun guns and nets, only for her to realize part way through her sprinting that he's already been stunned.

I'm hitting a lot of road bumps with it. It sounds like she can't rescue people from nets (unless I am misunderstanding). In consideration there are a lot of nets out, trapping a lot of people, and thus the awesome amazing Susan rescue scene I had in mind can't really happen.... I dunno. I'm turning over control to Lemon Boy Lemon Boy to figure something out because I got nada. Can't rescue people, wouldn't make sense to do nothing, but also can't unleash S-rank powers on the Knights either because that would thoroughly derail the scene.
 
Thank you, and as long as we agree on safewords beforehand. Can I PM to get an idea of what I'm getting into? (with Aegis, not the biting)
