RPG - Waking Up From the Dream (Discussion Thread)

[Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch]

Ok then. Let me just get Marx and Cirno over there.

[Gpop]

Once I'm done my latest entry, feel free to do what you please with Arreku, meaning you can do what you can recruit him into your team, have a brawl with him, ect. Just be sure to abuse him as much as possible (in this way, or that way... Experimentation is a must.)

Hmm, maybe my secret passage could lead to someplace near your house? Assuming that it isn't too close to the shrine.

[Pedonymous]

It's in the middle of town, go right ahead! I suggest finishing off where I left off though, to prevent plot holes.

[Demonlord Pichu]

I should really post something...I have it half finished in a txt. document, but I always get distracted with other things on the internet. Bah, this always happens when I'm in an RP...

I'll probably pull another somewhat useless post out my ass sometime tonight, I dunno.

[Pedonymous]

Good luck, I'm going to bed. I wanna see what's been done with Arreku in the morning, Gpop.

[Helepolis]

If it goes to maids, I expect this transformation for Jalal

I'm okay with you taking him for the task. Though if you do use him, would you rather I tell him that there is not going to be an assault on Eirin or you deal with that?

There will be no on assaults on anyone. It is going to be comedy and fun. Nothing serious cause else that would be a storyshift. And by (ab)using I meant more like mentioning your characters and putting them in a scene where everybody else then continues to control. I am not going to activly play them, that is up for the original users.

You are too late.

However you still have chance.

[Pedonymous]

Aah, you messed it up!

[Nemo★Ma]

Aah, you messed it up!

I JUST altered the exit of the tunnel, everything after that will not change.

I mean, GPop can walk or by whatever means, to your home. After exiting the tunnel and punch Amarillo on the face(without knowing it at the time),

I mean, it's alot less likely and doesn't make much sense if he gets to my house like that, rather than mysteriously showing up in my backyard...

And remember, Arreku is sitting on the shrine's roof at this exact moment, so Gpop is putting distance between himself and Arreku; technically, you're closer. At this point, it would be most likely that either you find him out, or he's discovered by everyone in the shrine...

Correction! You altered ONE exit. I was planning on multiple exits before then, so if anyone discovers the tunnel, they wouldn't know which exit to take to find them. Well one of them could be the shrine. That'd make sense, but I can still plan the other exit near Arreku's house =/.

But... you already got out of the tunnel... Why would you need to use it again?

[Gpop]

We had a choice of choosing one of the many exits. Now we'll go back and explore the other exits =/.

All this would be told when I post my part though.

I see, I see...

Feel free to send Arreku and the others home, then.

I'm for it.

Guys need to read moar.

[Gappy]

I'm imposing a 3 character maximum limit for the time being. That includes your RAI force character. That also includes additional characters who aren't partners.

This is due to the fact that we have too many characters at the moment, some of whom are rather ill-defined and lacking development. Rather than adding characters you should focus on developing your existing ones...AND THEIR PARTNERS! Seriously, I'm surprised at the lack of development for a lot of the partner characters. I know I'm one to talk myself. I haven't developed my characters much myself. I would blame it on the fact that I'm also charged with advancing the story, but that'd be a poor excuse on my part. I'll work harder on that from now on and I encourage everyone to do the same.

If any further issues arise then please post them here and discuss it amongst yourselves. We have 3 other GMs to help resolve issues. Please cooperate with them. I'll name them again - we have TranceHime, Xan, and E-mouse.

I may not have much time to respond to each and every PM for a while so I'd appreciate it if you all could resolve issues amongst yourselves and only PM me if things get out of hand...at least for a while until I finish my exams. Thanks. I appreciate it. Sorry for the current state of affairs but exam preparations are seriously draining my time.


EDIT:
WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUNCTIONAL MANA GENERATORS OTHER THAN THE ONE UNDER THE SHRINE!
Just thought I'd mention that before we get any more plot holes.
Secondly, pocket-sized mana-generators are still in experimentation (on the government side) and are not yet available for widespread use.

[Helepolis]

I will be writing my story post then in the meanwhile about the 3rd Mokou challange. I will be involving everybody which got transformed and were involved in the Saniwa-shrine/inn living room. ( Except for Alex I think who evaded it because it would mess up his story ).

[mad]

I hand wave the power armor and attached equipment away. They never happened.

[Gappy]

.......Etch...yes, I'm nagging again.......

Is that hole in the ruin's ceiling necessary? In fact, what was the point of Marx sneaking into the ruins to steal the mana generator? It'd be too big for her to carry or steal. Plus she went back to her room in the inn after? After attempting to steal the inn's mana generator and alerting two members of Team Gensokyo to her plan...?

How did she sneak into the ruins in the first place? When I explicitly mentioned that we have a duplex barrier courtesy of Sanae and Reimu plus Covenant alarm systems courtesy of Nitori and Rika?

[Gappy]

Oh?

*reads further up and notices what you're talking about*

Oh, thanks, I appreciate it ^^

[E-Nazrin]

HEY, ETCH!

So we were talking in the chat earlier, and, well...

(11:47) ** E-mouse joined the room
(11:47) * E-mouse headbutts MTG on general principle
(11:52) MTG: *puts on a pair of oni-horns and headbutts E-mouse*
(11:53) MTG: *sigh* yesterday it was pirates, today it's 'too many characters' ^^;;
(11:53) E-mouse: I think 'too many characters' is a problem we've been having since the start :V
(11:53) Nemo Ma: Now we have like 19 writers
(11:54) MTG: yeah, I should've put a cap on it from the very beginning
(11:54) MTG: oh well
(11:54) MTG: I've PMed Etch and discussed the issue with him
(11:54) E-mouse: Also, he should note that we don't need an action scene every six hours
(11:54) Nemo Ma: I'l get Cirno by the evening, BTW
(11:54) MTG: if only I had implemented profile approvals in this RPG...
(11:55) MTG: try not to steal her....I don't want Etch hammering on my inbox....^^;;
(11:55) MTG: discuss it with Etch first ^^;;;
(11:55) MTG: please....?
(11:55) Nemo Ma: I'll not steal = =
(11:55) E-mouse: There's been talk in the discussion thread. I think it'll go fine.
(11:55) MTG: ok
(11:55) Nemo Ma: Just Borrow = = And when need to.
(11:55) Nemo Ma: When we need a big DPS = =
(11:56) E-mouse: I'm more worried about Jer exploding at the damage to the Covenant base once he gets today's events explained to him.
(11:58) E-mouse: \o
(11:59) MTG: which covenant base?
(11:59) Nemo Ma: eh?
(11:59) Nemo Ma: Oh, well
(11:59) E-mouse: The one under the shrine; the last story post I read involved Marx blowing up a ceiling there to escape -_-
(11:59) MTG: ....
(11:59) MTG: WHAT?!
(11:59) MTG: HE DID WHAT?!
(11:59) E-mouse: Yyyyyyyyyyyeah
(11:59) MTG: %#!#%^@(#%(@#&*%(@*
(11:59) MTG: THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(12:00) Nemo Ma: er.. don't tell me you will use BANHAMMER
(12:00) Nemo Ma: Well, cute girls are always welcome
(12:00) E-mouse: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=100.msg10597#msg10597 the offending post
(12:01) MTG: ...I'm exhausted. Sorry, E-mouse, I'll leave it to you ^^;;

(12:02) MTG: I don't know what happened, or how it happened
(12:02) MTG: or if he has a justification for it
(12:03) E-mouse: He also got Marx into the shrine and then the covenant base undetected.
(12:03) E-mouse: I think he's just godmoding.
(12:04) Nemo Ma: You ever see Marx's profile?
(12:04) MTG: onto the shrine grounds undetected? nigh improbable with our duplex barrier and Nitori's Covenant safeguards
(12:04) MTG: into the Covenant Ruins? Impossible
(12:04) Nemo Ma: In the profile Etch described Marx have "Stealth" and "Dark power" or something
(12:04) MTG: AGH! *curses himself for not checking*
(12:04) Nemo Ma: Oh, come on, even a Jedi/Sith cannot become stealth
(12:05) Nemo Ma: without using a Mind Trick/ Masscare
(12:06) MTG: ..............I'm............dead............
(12:06) MTG: that post...........
(12:06) MTG: is.............
(12:06) MTG: ........killing...........me.............

Emphasis mine, but yeah

[Gpop]

I think Etch needs a time-out from the story -_-.

[Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch]

Too many characters, eh?

Godmoding, eh?

This calls for plot devices, and possible killing off of other characters in a battle.

To be determined...

EDIT: No one will die, some will leave though...

[Tapsa]

I already murdered a half of you

[Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch]

I already murdered a half of you

EH?!? Already? Oh, wait the escapees from earlier. There were more to go around, but they're gone now.

[Jana]

FINALLY got a post up, but I didn't do the dream thing I'd wanted to. I'll meet up with the rest of the (fe)males in a bit.

[Helepolis]

- - -

[E-Nazrin]

current day -> within a reasonable timeframe

Nemoma jumping to 4 PM on Day 2 was a large part of the storyline segmentation problems then.

And yeah, Etch, I'm being an ass.

[Demonlord Pichu]

Don't mean to sound rude or anything, but who the hell's Team Lucky Strike?

[mad]

I thought Team Lucky Strike was your RAI team, Erebus.

...though, I really have no idea why they are at the shrine...unless he decided to investigate since his orders are to search the town for Gensokyoites...but then his orders also include sticking together with other team members.

Unless, he went rogue or Yagi ordered him to split off.
