Fuzy did make it, after all, so it's not like we couldn't ask him about it.

So, some proposed solutions/suggestions. I feel like they got a little way-sided since I was building it three pages ago, but eh. Here we go. I probably missed out on some stuff, so feel free to say something about it.

  • The character consistency. Both development wise and usage wise. I like variety, but it just seems like no one can stick to one character for more than five pages.
    • See if your muse sticks for more than five pages, and make sure you're playing a character you definitely really enjoy and keep at developing them!

  • I liked how you could just up and do something silly/strange and you didn't feel like you had to explain it or announce it beforehand. I don't think Salad Rei would have gotten the same reception if I popped in with her as my first character today as she did way back when.
  • I think this FG could use a little less event planning and asking permission to do things and get back to character planning and off-the-bat action.
    • Just, do eht~ (Which, uh, everyone already went over but oh well. Reinforcement ho!)

  • It was a lot easier when every character was in one place: The Room. Every one of them were accessible to interact with 24/7.
  • It felt more open back then, at least to me. It seems like people have subdivided into little groups that they feel comfortable with (whether consciously or not) and that we've strayed away from the wide variety of interactions that made this place great in the first place, stuff like Nikola Tesla talking to Jade Harley or Mega Man consoling an axe murderer.
    • Don't take your shit outside too often. Or upstairs all that often either. Stay downstairs and inside and don't focus on the outside so much if you can. And in doing that, we all get together! Interact with each other and not stray off into these comfy groups (weird wording, yeah) we seem to have established since we all should be one collective comfy group really.

  • I liked how a big event would happen on occasion, not every other page. It felt fresh and new every time. Nowadays it just feels like there's a boss/big event every few seconds.
  • Back then, it just flowed so smoothly. I think one of the things that differentiate present us to past us is that we have mood whiplash way too often. It felt better when we had long neutral moments, and then quick negative/scary ones.
    • ...well, it can be summarized in just don't try to be so boomy with stuff so often I guess. From what I was seeing before it was just -boop, I am here friends- and then it was just a natural progression up to something. So... naturally progress it up to that big event is what I am trying to suggest? Or, y'know, what the last couple pages or so of discussion was about.

  • It was only godmodding if you went out of your way to force it after they said no or negated it. Otherwise, it was just shenanigans. Knowing one could just undo the damage whenever you got bored/were done made one a lot more accepting of being screwed with.
    • If you're not all that cool with something just say so or bomf it back to normal while keeping it all polite, y'know? We're all friends here and we'll understand.

  • Also, we didn't constantly stress out about the steady supply of crazy people the thread seems to attract these days.
    • We all need to just chillax in that case. For all we know, they're just new to the roleplaying game in general. If need be,just pull them aside like we've been doing. There's always gems amidst them.

Actually was gonna get into contact with Fuzy about that.

We should make up something here so he can copy/paste into the OP.

I think once we've settled the direction the FG should be moving in, then we can work on a new OP that we can ask Fuzy to edit in.

Biya Jam. Probably won't be on that much either.

But I'm just glad to see that we're doing something about this.

An overall shift in tone and method seems to be all we need. That, and encouragement to keep shit in the room.

Not much. Just want to say we should try and keep the FG lighthearted, in other words, true to its original intent.
