Absolutely. Best to fix what's wrong rather than give up. That was your philosophy for the coding thing right?

i've decided to go back on that because this is how every serious argument ends, with no improvement on either side

The coding thing hasn't been touched in a couple months and might not be picked up again because I've hit a rather solid dead end, but eh, point taken.

[up]Trip, please.

Trip, you don't need to do that. That's overreacting.

We can work this out rationally. No need for ragequits.

Sorry but I can't agree with that. As long as Spazz can fix these problems then we should keep going.

As for individual poster's issues, a lack of motivation may seem to come and go. Give it some time, swap characters around. I've lost motivation before and got it back after some time off. Let's just not terminate the entire plot because of it.

Well...I will just point out what I think the source of the problem is so Spaz can work on it.

The main source of the feeling of being restricted is Checkers. He hasn't given the party a reason not to trust him, so when he says something is dangerous IC they want to listen to him. But that can even be overridden with curiosity. However Checkers is just explaining away the world so the party doesn't feel like they should do anything except follow him around.

I know this is a problem, yes. I'm just not quite sure how to work it out. There are also other issues I'm worried about further down the road.

I would like to speak to you over PM about them.

Yeah, Checkers does feel a bit like his only purpose is to railroad.

I know. Checkers is meant to dump exposition at the moment (and other things later on), but I think that's sort of backfired a bit.

Perhaps giving him a more vague manner of speak could spice things up?

In either case, if Deluge was too open ended, and Golden Bird so far is too rail-roaded, it's clear that a balance should be struck.

My problem is not the lack of discovery but the lack of work we have to do for it if I have to be totaly honest.

It feels like were along for the ride, rather then having any meaningfull impact, well the lack of effort really, it feels like playing a vidya game with god mode on, if this makes any sense it all....

Sorry, sorry.

Part of that is because at this point I'm still trying to set up groundwork (though the lake is meant to be a turning point). I'm aware of the whole "theme park" problem, though.

[up]Don't apologise, this is what the thread is for.

Shoot me PMs as well if you want, Spaz.

It's hard to strike a balance with an rp, and maybe there's some things I can suggest to make it a little less of a struggle.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

In that case, things should be happening soon, I am excite.

And yes, what Spazz said Imca. This is the thread's purpose, no need to apologize for giving an opinion on an RP thing.
