Inactivity in collaborative online projects results from lack of interest or real life interference. It's more figuring out why people leave; I think it got a little convoluted when the factions started interacting.
You could also share ideas for Round Three if you want; RP-related conversation topics are up to you guys tonight because I have a shitton of chemistry homework.
"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."The game should take place in an isolated area so we don't have to worry about security cameras, witnesses, and law enforcement barging in and bringing the RP to a halt by arresting people. Without the OCMPA, there will be no one to bail out the contestants.
By the way, I will definitely use Arzt again. Maybe with a different trinket.

Agree with that.
I'm neutral about the island. I don't have anything against it, I just don't have anything for it either.
By the way, are the rules going to be pretty much the same or there's gonna be a big change like how teams were added in game 2? I like the idea that the rules between games constantly change, both mechanically and thematically*.
The setting could still be a big city, but other inhabitants are only there for scenery. Someone has to run the restaurants and hotels and coffee shops, after all. They don't speak to the players if spoken to. The police are blind to the activities of the contestants. That should be explained in the Orchestrator's text, probably.
As for hospitals, well, having a bunch of players ending up in there could really slow the game down, but I'm not sure what to do about that.
The last battle's curtains will open on stage!Yes, but if characters don't have teammates to get stuck with, they'll just get stuck on other characters. Also teams allow a character more room to do something while waiting for another to post (you can't really do that if you're interacting with the guy who's planning to kill you). So yeah, I'm not sure if teams help or not.
Indeed. The best way keep things from getting stuck, in my opinion, is to encourage the game to progress, so that the number of people we're relying on decreases over time.
With what specifically happened, though: we needed Mary to advance the story, and her being retconned into death left me unsure of what to do or where my character even was.
Also, one of these days I'm going to post a Motive Rant I was planning for Gear to give to Natalie in here.

I regularly visit San Francisco, so I know what shit looks like.
The last battle's curtains will open on stage!

So, here we are, and welcome. The following is intended more for newcomers; former players of Round Two were already informed via PM what this is for.
Obviously, this is a discussion meant for the A Game of Chance series of RPs, not just one of the two installments. I, Crystal Glacia and Motree are the current GMs.
So, why do we need a separate thread for this? There are a few reasons:
This is intended not only for those who were PMed about it, but also for potential newcomers, friends of players who were told about it, and even players from Round One who couldn't stick around for Two or had to drop out due to real life. Even if you don't think you'll be coming back, drop by and say hello if you want.
Now, this was primarily intended to help us plan, so I've inserted links to the RP threads.
I'll also be putting together a few fact lists, which will be posted up here for reference.
At that, I hope all of this works out.
UPDATE March 26 2012: A Game Of Lies has been launched, and signups are closed. This thread will only be used for the posting of reference lists to prevent the thread from being lost.
UPDATE February 4 2013: The A Game Of Chance series has been put on hold indefinitely due to school and later college on the part of all three GMs. A reboot has been talked about, but nothing definite has been decided upon. If you are still holding out, keep this thread on your watchlist and stay tuned.
