The Battle of Wills - Discussion Thread

Maybe try and quietly move them along until they come back? Ranma and Joseph are basically captured, right?

Have you tried to contact them through PM?

Besides, yep, "putting them in the background" could work.

@Fergard: BB is here, but I haven't heard from Daltar in a week or so. Personally, I'm fine with just quietly ignoring their absence and letting jump back in when they have a chance, but my biggest concern is that if it's just one player and the GM (like it's predominantly been with team 1 for the past month or so) then there's little chance for character development and the less frequent players get discouraged from contributing. It becomes more of a solo mission than anything else.

My advice would be a two week waiting period, followed by a PM to the player, followed by another weeks grace period. If the player doesn't respond, the character is moved into the background, on the off chance they show up again later. If a few more weeks pass, say, three or four without an update, the character is put up for adoption, allowing a new player to jump right in.

Also, idea: A trope page for The Battle of Wills. Discuss.

Well, guess that current development leaves us only with T2's missing members.

I guess I can simply just PM them indeed, see where it brings us.

@Trope Page: I dunno if it's really that deserving of a trope page. ^^; I'd like to hear the others though.

I need muse for Veigar. -noodle arms-

Just think little, evil thoughts

I'm most certainly not having my life consumed by endless amounts of time spent in playing Mass Effect, nope.

Is this your favorite store on the Citadel?

Amusingly enough I just got to the part where that happens.

Also Garrus is best character. That's all.

Anyway, a page in the wiki for this RP seems fine to me. And I can't wait for a chance to show just how crazy Marisa is in combat

Got some minor post to get some people going.

As for the trope page, how would we proceed with that? Anyone has any ideas they're willing to share on the matter?(though I admittedly am bad at page-making)

Hrmm, could we edit in an event happening in Team 4? I mean, talking is cool and all but there's not much some of our characters can even contribute to the discussion when we're talking about the Secret Service.

Point taken. Let me get you some more stuff to do. That city's likely somewhere, so...

I'm gonna have to drop out. I lost interest in this RP awhile ago and I have a summer term amongst other things coming up, so I don't have as much free time as I thought I would. Sorry.

RL takes priority over here. Good luck with the exams and thank you for playing.

As for you, my players, here's some big post to get you moving. :)

Oh god. We're dealing with Alice. DOOMED. DOOOOMED.

I'm expecting the furniture to become animated and attack the party at anytime. Actually, it'd be cool, should it go down to a fight.

Hey Fergard. Sorry if it seems like I keep on ragging on you but Team 4 is sorta stalling out. Again, I think the talk scenes are a bit reason. Rather than having discussions about the world, I think just getting out there and doing stuff would be a lot more conducive to being active.

Sorry if I'm being rude. Just my 2 cents.

I'm open to any suggestions.

In fact, I'll try to throw something out soon. I might have just the thing.

Pretty much. I can't do much with Veigar and so little action

Alright, I did the thing. Hopefully it'll be enough to get you guys going.

I'll see about posting tomorrow.

Wait a minute...is Nightcrawler fighting Chaos? O_O

I presume that the low level demons just all look the same, and Chaos is a "special" one

Aye, Luke's correct on that one. Blame me and my Painkiller-inspired unoriginality. ^_^;
