...Okay.

I still really didn't enjoy playing through the classes, though, since generally nobody had a clue of what to do, for either the teachers or the students, so you're gonna need to explain how it's gonna be structured differently.

If it's gonna be structured any differently at all.

I really do not have a single reason to bus any of my current cast, especially the newer ones like Kurai and Bryo. They haven't even been there that long or been played heavily. :/

I can understand playing others of characters who already graduated, but only those that have.

[up] Like Imca said, we're doing a really big time-skip. It's a whole new set of students now.

And it's so easy when you're evil... This is the life for me, the Devil tips his hat to me...

Time skip will most likley be enacted, and the other thing would allow you to continue to play them.

@ Rai : Thats why we need to focus on less technical classes, and maybe more X-Men styled ones, so that it is easier for people to bullshit a lesson, and the lessons can be more fun then just taking notes....

Considering none of us are teachers, it's a bit obvious that we played it by ear and generally do what most teachers were like, being very, very dull.

As for structure, that'd take a bit of time coming up with a sort of pattern people would be able to agree upon. I'm not quite sure how we'd be be able to make the classes more appealing unless we livened them up with colorful teachers and more hands-on parts of classes instead of theory and text-books.

Time-zones aren't that much of an issue for most of us here, so it'd be simple enough to get into a pattern if we thought about it, with lunch and after-school stuff being time for normal interaction.

I'll keep trying to work on this, if people wish.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

[up][up]Better.

...And I was going to assume Hyrene means he wants his characters to have been repeatedly held back in order to keep playing them.

...Can you give me a few more examples of what kind of things you plan on there being?

...Sorry if I'm being picky. But I really, really want there to be something solid so it doesn't just close down after a week of play when the DM gets bored of it. Like last time...

Then I'm dropping out. I do not really see a good enough point to destroy the hard work put into characters who haven't even finished graduating. I had too much fun with them, and they're hardly worth bussing for absolutely no good reason.(and no, I do not believe that's a good enough reason either)

See ya. And I was having fun too, honestly. It was the only roleplay I didn't feel like people were driving me out from. :/

[up] More or less what Rai said. If they haven't graduated, no reason to bus 'em or make others of 'em. Waste of time. I am not a fan of a forced cast change. If some people want to change their cast completely, that's perfectly fine. But it should be the players' choices.

I'm with Rai.

I kinda don't want to come back because I tried really hard to keep it going

You do know they dont have to vanish right? You could still play them, its jsut starting over....

@ Rai : Well that there is up to every one and one of the reasons were discussing, what kind of new classes would you like to see?

Again, I apologize for that and letting a lot of you down. It's not easy coming up ideas and I'm doing my best to come up with at least some sort of solid idea and building up from that.

Certainly wouldn't mind listening and getting ideas from everyone who wants to help. I only have a few and would probably be focused on putting these ideas into one working structure. We're pretty much capable of doing anything considering, let's face it, this school and the students aren't exactly normal humans.

...Well, for most part anyway.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

[up][up]Practical stuff like that ice sculpture thing you did is more my tune.

...Although I would have suggest that you limit just how much mandatory class the teachers and players gotta sit through so it doesn't grow stale.

[up]List 'em out, mang.

I honestly dont Rai, I dont plan on making them every day, but if there not schedualed and happen on that schedual, they will just slip and not happen agian.

Which is why once a week might be the best amount, not common enough to get stale fast, but scheduled enough that well.

[up] No exact clue, but I know Rai wanted the school to explode.

That would probably be at least 5 years to rebuild everything.

That was my thoughts, 4-5 years.

Once a week sounds fine.

And I can give you the details on why it exploded over PM if you want, but yeah. 5 years. To help justify the new school.

I may do a whole new school type, soooo yea a PM would be nice.

Imca (Veteran)
#5994: Aug 14th 2013 at 8:17:04 PM

Double post....

Any way, for new school type I am thinking one less grounded in reality, and more like a Techy Hogwarts, since it would be teaching both magic and tech, and having something more fantastical might be fun...

Thoughts?

Considering how way-out the last one was...

Sure.

...Any limits on the kinds of students?

Superweight 2 encouraged....

Superweight 3 if there suposed to be REALLLY strong, since there supsoed to be learning there powers out powering the teachers is a bad thing.

I have sort of been listing them out already, with us already saying practical stuff would at least keep everyone involved for starters. If you're talking about ideas for structure, I was probably going to think of only two/three lessons a day so it wouldn't be too much of a hassle and at least prevent repetition.

If you're talking about activities and actual classes, aside from drama/acting, music classes, science and the sort, I suppose there would be other classes like art or if we were that far into the future, I suppose interfacing with the internet and traversing cyberspace and the like? So sort of like the Battle Network series, I suppose.

As for other things, it'd depend on what the students are like, could teach things like swordplay with bamboo/wooden swords if people wished.

[up]Well, in that case, I suppose that gives us a lot more options and things to work with. Yay.

I like playing Pokemon trainers, so I must ask the obvious.

#5999: Aug 14th 2013 at 8:21:23 PM

Swordplay would definatly be a class, however 2-3 per day is defiantly a bit much.
