Elements RPG! Part 4

[Sirenes]

As Sirenes walked through the gardens, she noted the different types of flowers. Beautiful plants from all different climates, all growing in the lush environment of Heaven. Each time she passed a new flower, she stopped to lean in and smell it, singling out the scent. The perfume of all the different flowers together was a bit overwhelming, yet wonderful at the same time. Roses, orchids, lilies, violets and many other flowers that she couldn't name built the rainbow of color that surrounded her. In the distance was a large pond with floating water lilies. A pond! A wide grin spread across her face and she rushed to the edge of the water, looking down at her reflection in the surface. It was calm and serene, not a ripple in sight. She almost didn't want to disturb it. Almost... Kneeling down, she dips her fingers into the pure liquid, letting her hand slide beneath the surface and swirling it around a bit. It wasn't enough she wanted more. And so, Sirenes began to remove her boots.

I'm out 

  Me too 

Why?

  Because Xanriel is currently locked inside a prison cell, and thus cannot go to Utarius.
  Because Sekhor, Mordekai, etc, have not made contact with the Angels yet.

@ $$$man (geez, how can I make this not look like "@$$man"? ): Maybe you should be more detailed when Zeni sent that mental message saying "z0mg i iz on ur side". Sure, Jonathan can sense that Zeni is Entropy instead of Death, but he won't be willing to trust a total random stranger who just popped out of nowhere. More likely he'll think "WTF is Morte planning".

[Sirenes]

[OOC] No, probably more like because you guys won't shut the fuck up and roleplay. This isn't a fucking debate thread, it's a roleplay thread. How about you play your game and let the randomness takes it's course. This isn't a God damned story, it's a randomized adventure. Randomized, because with multiple people there's no telling what will happen. As for the OPing, perhaps you people should get some fucking integrity. We should be able to trust each other to keep things fair. If someone does something that makes things not go your way, find a way to counter it or PM them about it. Don't flood the thread with this shit.

Yeah, I'm utterly pissed the fuck off, because you all are making this RP fall apart and I was quite loving this whole thing at one point. Now all I do everyday is load the page, look and close it again after seeing pages of more bickering and Im tired of it. You're all acting like a bunch of children. Learn to roleplay the way you should or consider me gone as well. (Not that I input much in the first place.)

[Purity_Riot]

See above for reasons why I'm out.

[Bloodshadow]

Seriously, for once it wasn't me who caused the bickering. If you guys are all gonna quit because of this, then why am I even wasting my time here? I should be writing that Elements fanfic of mine.

[Purity_Riot]

Then do it

I don't care who started it, i've had it with all the constant bickering

I've especially had it with you always trying to plan things out and making such a big deal about your plan

I might not want a GM, because I think that can be just as bad, but I agree with Gl1tch about this being a horrible excuse for an RPG

I used to love playing this RPG, now it's rarely fun, and normally just a waste of my time

I'm afraid all this is pretty much the truth Blood.

In fact, I doubt we could get through a single page without any bickering.

A simple way to solve this would be to stop all OOC posts, so if you don't like something you've simply deal with it or do something about it, not, and this important, argue.

This would of course make it hard to communicate about what you're doing, but I think the no-bickering outweighs that.

And, I've got to say it, but this isn't actually an RPG. Or random, for that matter. It is a story, which we make together, by collaboration. (Or at least, that's how it's supposed to be)

[Bloodshadow]

I always saw this as a collaborative story-writing thing. So if you guys don't want this game to become that, then there is no reason for me to stay here any longer. Purity, know that I only quit because you quit; your characters have a pivotal role in this "story", and I doubt it could progress without your presence.

Maybe I should start a non-RPG that is collaborative story-writing, so that people know what they're getting into before they join.

I've especially had it with you always trying to plan things out and making such a big deal about your plan

To be honest, I don't have anything planned right now. I do not know what will happen immediately after the Morte fight, nor did I attempt to plan anything.

[Helios]

I might not like it, but given how much everything has degenerated, it may be a warranted measure to exercise.

Essentially, I perceive only two options:

1) Use Terro's suggestion

2) Close the RPG

I am personally willing to attempt Option 1 before Option 2.

[Wardead]

Well at least everyone knows why I quit in the first place...

RPG normally fails at forums....This isn't the first Ive seen..

[Bloodshadow]

@Helios: There is an option 3 - restart the RPG. I see very little hope for this one, since the story cannot progress further if we remove the most vital characters. But if the new one is a proper RPG instead of a collaborative story-writing project, then I don't think I should participate, since I'm a writer and not a roleplayer.

[Glitch]

I fail to see why you can't be both.

A true RPG is in the making.  A plot has been made, with several side plots, complete with a balanced character maker.  I just need to make a map.  I do not wish to use this one, largely because of it's "uncharted shore", but I doubt people would like using my ASCII map either, although I have it.  If I ever get around to it, I'd like to make a map based upon the synergy polls in each element, that's what they're there for.  To make a war map.  It should be a hex map, and for that reason, I tried to collect the six top synergies.  Ideas I have for it:

The world is made of four layers.  The Aetherian dimension, the city of clouds, the middle world, and the underworld.

The Aetherian dimension is actually just a sphere, surrounded by the vast emptiness.  Perhaps the void?  Either way, there are six gates to get there, the dimension gates.  There's on near every element that aether has the best synergy with.

The city of clouds is a rag-tag group of clouds, flown between the two because all of the air elementals can fly.  You can only get up or down with updrafts, otherwise flying downward would either take to long, cause you to stall, have no landing zone, or a combination of the three.  Climbing up is impossible without one.

The underworld has darkness, death, and earth.  The only way between those are to use tunnels.

The middle world has everything else.

The synergies are, in order:
Aether:  Did not make the thread
Air: Life, Fire, Light, Water/Death, Aether.  Thread unfair, the option for mono was added
Darkness: Death, Aether, Earth, Entropy.  The rest is inconclusive
Death:  Did not make the thread
Earth: Did not make the thread
Entropy: Darkness, Gravity, Life, Aether, Death, Time/Light/Earth.
Fire: Earth, Aether, Air, Death, Gravity, Light
Gravity: Did not make the thread
Life: Aether, Air, Light, Water, Darkness/Entropy
Light: Aether, Life, Air, Fire, Earth/Darkness/Water
Time: Aether, Earth, Gravity, Life, Light, Darkness
Water: Death, Aether, Air, Life, Fire, Earth

I don't expect it to be perfect, but I'd love if all elements were nearby elements they have synergy with.
