Well, that was fun while it lasted. Good to see that it only takes two to stonewall, hamstring and then sink a roleplay of twenty people.

It's been fun.

Considering those two people controlle pivotal events and organizations?

Fuckit, we can continue. Traxxar gets Carbonara arrested, the Weinsteilweils lose the power to do anything interesting...

How about we just decide what we do to their characters without them, considering that they left the RP?

Works for me, Taco. The most extreme method we could do is a blanket after-action report on the party, detailing the high points of each character's experiences there, but if people want to roleplay at the mansion that'll require divvying up the relevant Weinsteilweil characters to other players.

It's been fun.

Because that is crappy, crappy etiquette and one of the most impolite things you can possibly do in an RP.

Here's an idea: Want to continue the RP? It rains. The party was mostly outdoors. Rain would ruin it. There.

And honestly, it's hard to continue in something that you no longer have interest in, so it'd be either this or just not posting again without warning.

Superceded only, of course, by throwing a minor temper tantrum and threatening to withdraw until the events of the roleplay turn around your characters and minute specifications for the characters of others, then withdrawing anyway and forbidding anyone else to touch those plot-critical entities.

Look, I understand that people's interests shift, and I don't blame you for losing interest. What I do blame you for is this (honestly rather confusing) attempt to ensure that the roleplay doesn't continue after this blow.

Edit: Rain would also work.

... I'm not. I just gave you something you could do.

I don't want people controlling my characters or NP Cs connected to them. If it rains, the major reason people could need to(the party) doesn't happen.

Felis could run away from Carbonara (she's certainly upset enough) and Citrine could just wander off. Therefore, they're no longer an issue in any way. >.>

Silette was getting scared. The guards took her back home.

Considering it was previously very nice out, I figure we could even create an actual plot point aroun the rain, with characters trying to figure out why it's raining on such a nice day, and why no magic is working in dispelling the rain, since a kinetic barrier or druidic magic couldn't shield from or stop the rain, no fucking way.

Hee, could create a plot thread around why it's only raining on the Westenweill estate.

Or you could just go with the completely normal attitude of 'let's not interfere with the weather'. Even if they've got nice weather 'cause of magic, everyone has to go through the bad weather first, hence low turnout. >.>

It is also quite possible to go from 'sunny' to 'raining' in half an hour. I'm used to its happening.

I'm not joking, I love spinning epic tales/explanations about weird/stupid plot contrivances. And hey, El Jabali and Verrick's mutual interest in such a happening could spur father-son adventure time, too!

Thanks for leaving the RP guys, this feels just like a classic Dn D game!

Raineh Daze has forfeited all right to influence the RP's goings on by quitting the RP.

You also forfeited your right to control your characters when you forfeited the RP too, I'd think. But hey, let's wait for daltar to weigh in before this all spirals too out of control.

If someone say "No, you can't control my characters, I don't care if I've left the RP", it means, "No, you can't control my characters, I don't care if I've left the RP".

They're my characters, and it's the same in Rain's case. Not yours. So no, you can't control them.

We've already left it, and given solutions so you don't have to be tied up with them anymore.

Personally, I'd say that you should at least give us enough control over said characters to solve any remaining plotholes/plotlines involving them. For example, Felis is practically fully dependant on Carbonara at the moment; If Carbonara disappears from the face of the world, then she's stuck in the bathroom.

If you don't want us to create new storylines with them, fair enough, but at least give us that much.

Oh, and counter to Raineh Daze saying the RP is slice of life: It's slice of life fantasy, and we've got thief characters, tricksters, and all sorts of different fantasy characters who can cause trouble. So if you don't want your party infested with thieves, well, in your own words? Tough.

No, the slice of life comment was pointing out that you do not need conflict to have a plot, unless you're going to stretch the definition of conflict to breaking point. >_>

-Points up.-

Felis seems so skittish right now that she could just, you know, run away.
