Clashing Hearts!: Super Fun Time Yuri RP - The Backstage

You don't have to be confident. You just have to have a plan that works. Though IMO this RP is less GM-centric than others, because there's such an emphasis on interaction. We just someone to put Time Skips into effect and the like, IMO.

Seems easy enough, but still, I'm not sure... ._.

I'm still game for this and really would rather this RP not die after we managed to reboot it. Des has a point, the role of GM for this is more of a supervisory and 'get things moving' one, partially to make sure things don't drag on. But if we don't have enough people interested in staying it won't be terribly successful. Though it appears we do have maybe half at least of the active players wanting to try and keep things going. That said, I'm not terribly experienced in G Ming this sort of thing but I do have extensive tabletop G Ming experience; if people would like I would be willing to give keeping this going a bit a shot.

And I can't speak for everyone else, but I was trying to not have things be so rushed with Kanako on the relationship front. It's only been less than a day in game time, and she has thought a bit that certain other girls are cute at the least. Anything more would be pushing it a bit, maybe. Anyway, off to class..

Theoretically, I could volunteer to GM this - but if so, I'd probably want to modify the setting/mechanics somewhat, which would likely mean a new RP. It would still be a slice-of-life/romance/Yuri RP, but with a few changes:

• No Masquerade (Not that character's backstories can't be secret, but I prefer my wacky hijinks out in the open :P)
• No Teacher Characters (Which I suppose was now the case here too)
• More defined setting/activities (Cultural Festival FTW)
• Otherwise probably more or less the same

Almost certainly, everyone could still use the same characters if they wanted, but if I were to GM this, I'd want to do it well - and at least personally, I feel like I couldn't do that without probably restarting and establishing the setting from there.

This would have the advantages of: resetting any interactions with those who dropped out, as well as allowing new people to join easily (to help reach critical mass). Of course, the disadvantages would be another restart, which I can totally understand if we don't want that.

Otherwise, I could stay on here if we'd prefer to keep the current RP/setting. (This is just an optional suggestion.)

I'm OK with either. I don't mind another reset, really.

I'm open to either possibility, though I think everyone still wanting to continue the RP should voice an opinion before we move forward.

I find Sonzai's idea intriguing. It won't require any tweaking of our characters to adapt them to that reboot, right? I kind of like the one I made and didn't have the chance to play as. <.<

Hmmm... Well, I'm back, and I'm... A little disappointed at what's happened here, but oh well. I'm still up for playing no matter what's decided, although seeing how the characters I was interacting with are all gone now, um... Yeah. >.<

Glad to see you back, Moe Moe. Heh heh.

Both ideas are fine with me as long as the RP continues.

I'm okay with either, as well.

I'd rather not have another reset, especially this early on, but I'll go with the flow.

Welcome back, Moerin!

I talked with Bombadillo (who can co-GM with me), and we thought that a restart would be best, to allow for new interactions (if your character was interacting with one who left), possibly to get new people, and to fully iron out the tone, etc.

I'm writing the official signup post/setting description, and should have it and the RP ready in the next couple days. But before that, since it will be a Spiritual Successor to this RP, the following characters (from those who expressed interest, in no particular order) have been pre-approved:

• Sonzai
  • Kowano Kina (Mahjong Club)
• Bombadillo
  • Shimada Kanako (??? Club)
• Scrounge
  • Hoshizaki Yuki (??? Club)
  • Genkaku Ichigo (??? Club)
• IchigoNeko
  • Rensaki Hikaru (Literature Club)
• doineedaname
  • Misaki Tanaka (Music Club)
• Shadowbell
  • Petrauskaite Sadako (Mahjong Club)
• Sachiko
  • Koyima Akari (Music Club)
• desdendelle
  • Hyou Sakura (Going Home/No Club)
  • Hyou Kyoku (Music Club)
• Moerin (Also: Welcome Back!)
  • Ryuuzaki Kotori (Kendo Club)
• Deadbeatloser22
  • Hikari Sato (??? Club)

If I missed anyone, or you'd like to continue and haven't said so, feel free to bug me. The settings are rather similar and quite compatible, so I think almost everyone (if not everyone) can be re-used with minimal to no modifications.

I'm still interested.

@Sonzai: So you and Bomb are going to GM, and it's going to be restarted again? All-right.

Added to the list.

Yep, that is the plan.

Also, if you haven't decided on a club (or no club) for your character (or I missed putting it on the list), then now's a great time.

Well if Kina's gone, I guess I'll have to find someone else to interact with

Doops. I'm still playing Kina (as the GM stuff should be a minimal amount of the total RP), I just thought it would be silly to pre-approve my own character. :P

Basically how it'll work, as envisioned at least, is that I'm sort of a co-GM. In case Sonzai's otherwise occupied, I can at least keep things moving. And vice versa. Kanako will be slightly different but overall the same person - I'm interested to see her as maybe from a more delinquent/biker/etc. background and rebelling by being a Yamato Nadeshiiko..

If we're changing the setting that much, I'm not sure Yuki would be involved. Her whole characterization kind of falls apart without the masquerade. But we are going to be having a new signup thread, right?

Yes, it's almost finished.

However, note that even though there's No Masquerade, that doesn't mean that everyone has to be open about what they truly are. People keep secrets all the time in real life - just because there are visible Youkai or Cat Girls, doesn't mean everyone's going to know she's a yuki-onna right off the bat. (Even though (some) Youkai are known, that doesn't mean they're all fully integrated with human society, after all.) Of course, the decision is up to you either way.

True, but she has far less reaon to think of herself as a monster in a world like that, and her characterization kind of revolves around that, so she'd be... very different, to say the least.

New Signup Thread Ready!

New Main Thread

New Discussion Thread

Another explanation could be that she's from a clan/area of particularly bad reputation, and wouldn't want anyone to know that. (As if she came from a crime family, or something like that.)

Oh, it's already started? Sorry I missed it. Been a bit busy. I'll get right on over to the main thread

No problem, and note that we're using the new discussion thread now.
