Okay.

I owe each and every member here, old and new, a massive apology, for shirking my duties at GMing the world event lately. I am very sorry, and it's very humbling that no one has outright complained yet at me for it. I'm sorry for not responding in a timely manner, let alone even a decently regular one.

I love you all very dearly.

Truth be told, even before letting myself get eaten by a massive MMOnster, I found myself having trouble keeping up with running the NPC posts/encounters in the world event itself, be it motivation or lack of inspiration/ideas to make each encounter unique for people playing against the darkspawn and the dusk drakes, given the large amount of them and the fact that their mini-boss nature makes them kind of difficult to leave them up to people to do themselves, rather than a staffer handling them. Plus, it's no fun for you all to have to fight things in your own posts, it's more fun for someone else to mod the bad things so you don't plan their every move, and I understand that whole-heartedly.

That's why I would like to say that I do, hopefully, have a plan that I want to set in motion to ease that mount of bad/evil-critters I have to mod in the events and both prepare the board for the plot to be seeded into the rest of the board itself. I have two ideas:

1) While I never want people to lose the ability to NPC the darkspawn mooks on their own (because, let's face it, compared to bigger, badder things, they're small fries and have always meant to be such), but I would like to look into either seeing if the staff would like the ability to play the larger foes, dusk drakes, and anything else more devious as well, similar to how they play wild Pokémon? This would allow posting to take pace at a more expedient rate, because it allows all staff to play the baddies if they so wish.

2) Or, would staffers prefer I make playing baddies its own staff position, separate than Franger? This would function the same, except that only people of that category would play baddies.

I would also like to ask if members would like an area (to be added after the event) where they might be able to request a bigger baddie showing up, similar to how wild Pokémon requests function. That way, the world events will no longer be the only place the plot really develops. This goes hand in hand with the fact that when this world event ends, there will be awhile before I post another one, to give people time to thread individual threads for awhile.

That being said, I feel, at this point, my main focus is to get at least a paragraph out to each person waiting currently in the thread. That's by no means pretty, but I feel like it's ideal because that will get things going again, which is the important part.

I would love to see youse'guy's feed back on these ideas, anything you can pitch at me.

I think a villain staff position would probably be a better plan.

Komm, you're banned.

I agree. I think a villain staff position would probably be the best way to go at this point.

I have a mixed idea on this.

I would PREFER the villain staff position on this, with the ability to transfer the ability to Frangers upon requests of the people in the thread if needed, since life sometimes prevents s from getting on.

It would allow us to have a dedicated position, and give us a backup if something happened.

Damnit 5! I see how it is, y'all want a chance to survive. The players hide in metal boxes! The cowards! THE FOOLS!


Casting vote for #2. Suggesting it be someone affable with a solid grasp of situational probability and continuity-physics.

Oh wait, that's me. Foiled again!

Meant to reply to this earlier. As it stands, I'm on board for making it a staff group all its own. For the moment, I am looking for two, maybe three, people for the position. (It depends on if there's any Frangers that would like to switch to it, in which case, I want to keep at least two Frangers, and I don't want more Villain-staffers than Frangers for the now, so if a Franger defects, 2 Villains total, if the current Franger team stays as is, 3 Villains, or if we get another applier for Franger, however many Villains to equal Frangers, haha.)

That being said, I feel a burn of motivation coming on now. OTL I will get back into posting this week.

Back on topic, are there any Frangers interested in switching their play-setup to that of Villain class, and are there any members interested in applying for either?

And on that note, any suggestions for names? I'd like to keep with the Trainer Class theme (even though Free-Ranger breaks it some). Rogue, Striker, Roughneck, Hex Maniac, Chaser and Hunter are all viable options, just from re-glancing at the list. For some of them, I like the idea of making it with Ranger at the end? Like Rouge Ranger, etc.

Well I'm coming back good and proper, and this sounds rather interesting. So if you'll have me back I'd like to help out again as a Free Ranger, or this new Rouge Trainer position. Mind you I could only play the villain as an NPC since almost all of my characters, are of the good natured and good moral value. Otherwise count me in, if you'll have me :)
