Re: EACHDRAIDH

What kind of wordcount would you say to aim for if you're going for a bigger boon?

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

10,000

Re: EACHDRAIDH

Depends on the boon. The only really 'big boon' that needs an equally big word count around be something like shard concealment, and that should definitely be up there in the word count. I'd say anywhere between 7-15k per boon if you're going for that.

Big is kind of relative. Go back and look through some of the boons and see what's been granted to whom and their word count.

i hope the mods tag some of the people who have only got 0-1 responses on the audience soon :( they said there'd be lots of backtagging but it's disappointing every time they do a big round of tags and it's mostly people they've already tagged a couple times

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

solais seems to be tagging pretty consistently but i have to wonder if it's two different mods playing morla or something because a few people have gotten decent threads while some are just languishing.

i'll wait until the end of the month so see if they tag more, but if it hasn't improved by then i'm definitely leaving feedback. they need to think about capping it earlier or asking people to tag only with one character and only if they have genuine business with the monarchs and aren't just hoping to get free meta and plots for wandering in, if the current load results in dropped threads.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

some people who have 0 responses tagged with 2 characters and their other is being tagged, probably on purpose

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

that's reasonable. that only leaves 4 people who have only one reply (not counting players who haven't replied to their tag), and one of them is a person who posted twice. two are brand new which kind of sucks for them but i'm sure they'll get to them.

and then 4 who haven't been tagged at all, one who posted twice, one who posted at the very end, and one who is on hiatus.

everyone else has at least 2 tags. kind of slow but not that bad.

disappointed to see that another round of tags just went out and yet again it's people that have been getting consistent responses while some have had radio silence for almost a week. backtagging is okay but at least try to tag a bit more evenly. i didn't even tag this audience but i've been following the threads and i'd be really disappointed if i were one of the people getting nothing.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

i'm one of the people that hasn't gotten a tag in a while and i'm fine with it as long as it doesn't get dropped. it might just be easier to tag a few threads at a time especially when a lot of the tags are really long, to reduce the amount of re-reading they have to do.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

What ending are you personally hoping for in regards to the void metaplot?

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

Void successfully averted, and I say this as a Seelie. I really, really do not want to play with a reset ending.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

My least favorite option is for a third player-run court to win. I'd be okay with a third option (as in something other than destroying the void or letting the void consume everything) but I really don't want it to be through a third court. If there must be a third court, I want it to have advantages and disadvantages instead of just being something unanimously good for PCs. If everyone defected to the same side I feel like characters would be forced to play nice, and player vs player is part of the reason I joined. Multiple warring player run courts could be neat.

I'd really love a Seelie victory if it was done in a certain way. I think characters being reborn completely as the first Drabwurld inhabitants of this new cycle or having partial memloss or something would actually be fun, but I can see why people would hate that. Staying themselves and having a fresh but already populated Drabwurld would be fun too. I'd hate, hate, HATE if it was a "survival" scenario where they had to build their own settlements and stuff though.

I like Unseelie ending as long as the time until Drabwurld death is far off in the future.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

I hope to hell there's no memloss or reboot. I didn't join an AU game and I don't want it to turn into one for chars already in it. I'd also be fine with a third or fourth court option if it expanded or defeated the void and gave players a more diverse setting for the game.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

I wish the mods would update the influence roster, I want to see everyone's new titles

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

now that you've posted it it'll get done. one of the mods stalks the shit out of rpa and every time someone posts asking 'why isn't x' done' it happens immediately after.

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

why haven't the mods given me 10,000 boons

Re: EACHDRAIDH

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, anon. That would be me and I'm not in charge of the influence roster. You guys will just have to wait.

[(Anonymous)]

The mods have a schedule.

COURT LEADERS?

[(Anonymous)]

Moved over from Wankgate. Who are some people you'd like to see running hypothetical player Courts?

Re: COURT LEADERS?

[(Anonymous)]

Active. People.

Re: COURT LEADERS?

[(Anonymous)]

Clarke, Loki, Aslan, Dorian. All active, all interesting, two from each court, and two supposedly "sort of good" and "sort of not so good." No former barons or marquis.

[(Anonymous)]

can someone tell me what this place is like? in terms of speed/events/structure/difficulty getting cr.

i'm shopping around for a game for my hero type character and while the premise really intrigues me i'd like to hear some honest opinions before making a decision.

[(Anonymous)]

- speed: backtag friendly, medium to slow, faster during events (sometimes)

- events: once a month, vary in topic from exploration to illness to taking part in a big battle. Plotting posts go up for each. People will tag events because you need wordcounts for them for boons, but sone flakier people might wait until the last minute or drop as soon as they have enough

Structure is more ligvthan network heavy. Currently metaplot heavy but easing back to more sandboxy in ~6 months when this arc ends

Ease of CR varies. Cross court is difficult due to war theme, in court is easier if you don't just wait for people to come to you. Remember people spread out over the map and think about travel times and you should be okay
