The graveyard has meaning though. It has an emotional tie for some of the characters.

And quite frankly the whole, isolation thing is just in your head. If you want to get you character involved in something think of a way to get them involved, preferably not in a way that's disruptive, no one is going to yell you out of something.

I'm in two minds about this.

I'm currently fine with the amount of locations.

But- yeah the isolation can be a problem sometimes.

Maybe if we just agreed to keep it to a few different locations at a time?

What Olive said. Removing them entirely would be kinda drastic, but we do need limits within reason. Anything to facilitate that scintillating Breen-Cloud conversation I know you've all been dying to have happen.

I definitely think DREAMS and other Literally-Out-Of-Room things should be kept to a minimum.

And if they do have to happen, try and keep them short.

Like- just get the key thing you went in the dream for.

Then out.

Is good.

Though we still need to deal with the conversation thing. We need to get everyone together at least once just to talk.

@Mega: That might not be a good idea. Then you have a lemming pile, and then one or two people stuck in the room. Then it's sort of pointless.

I think the only thing is with the conversation issue.

Is that in big groups you're really not talking to everyone at once most of the time.

You will have your own little inter-conversations while staying around as a group.

Plus, an army of [nja] due to the different speeds we post at.

A lot of people get left out because someone's writing up a post trying to respond to one or maybe two out of many, which is probably why the 2-3 thing has happened.

Meh. This isn't the first time this has happened. We go off and make new locations and stuff happens in those locations, and then people complain that they can't be a part of the things in the new locations so we get rid of them.

And then people start branching out to new locations because being limited to a few areas quickly gets old.

The problem isn't that there's a lot of locations, its that people complain about not being a part of things while not actually trying to be a part of things.

You are more often than not at the centre of these small groups. This is perhaps why you have not noticed.

So you are saying that I have efficiently adapted to many little groups, by getting my characters involved in them somehow?

I know that's supposed to be a sarcastic remark at me, but whatever it is, I don't get it. So I'll just say that I think maybe you're being a mite dismissive of everyone's complaints and that maybe if this many people are noticing it it's not just in our heads.

[up]Non-TLDR version of this.

I'm saying that you're usually around to get into a group before everyone else, leaving them locked out. You conveniently adapted to them because you were there first. Not everyone else is there first.

[up][up]This. I have a hard time joining in too. I don't want to get rid of the areas or force everyone into a scenario or anything like that, I just sort of want there to be some un-cloistering, if that's a word.

To me, it's sort of like back when Rando was around and we had that problem where it was either the Griff-Majora thing or the Cloud-Toras/Coras thing and nobody wanted to get out of their boxes, except this time instead of two big boxes, it's a zillion little boxes. I might not be trying hard enough, but I've made some attempts to have my characters branch out, and it hasn't been super successful for the most part, and I'd like this to be different. Like I said, though, some of this might just be me not pushing hard enough for interaction. I'll try to do better on that front.
