Sorry for not having posted again regarding the vampire's response to Raymond, I was waiting for Starfall to react as I didn't want to update just one. Now its rather late for me, so... Besides that, random tidbit, I figured the vampire we're dealing with used to be a human beastmaster (thus the affinity for collecting animals). His motive for being a beastmaster was likely a benign one, and gradually over his time post-vampirification he's just been decaying into this animal stealing mutating loon. Likely due to a crisis that the animals he was so fond of now hate him, with him only being able to properly interact with them by turning them.

Hey I've decided to throw down law on this.

How about let's not do 30 NPC's, first of all, and most of all not under the control of a non-GM; nice try though.

Melione sounds like OP Grimderp bullshit. I'm seeing right through you, don't even try it.

I'm trying to think of a way to respond, but honestly I'm just... Utterly offended by that. I get you're co-GM and I won't actually try to argue my way, but each of those NPCs were going to be meant for everyone else to use. Melinoe in particular had her sheet designed with that in mind, and I saw her more of a background figure anyways. The only one I actually was going to control is fully meant to die after his only event. Just needed to clear up the misconception that you thought I was some gamebreaking meta-munchkin who hates story.

Hey, is anyone interested in interacting with Samson after he and Raymond deals with the Bosspire?

[up]Speaking of which, I was thinking of tying our Bosspire into a larger plotline I had in mind. The idea is that, before dealing with the bosspire however our intrepid heroes choose, he ends up speaking quizzically about the vampire who turned him; he would, when he eventually made his debut, turn out to be a nasty piece of work, and linked in some way to Raymond's past. (I might even want to make a second PC for him; we'll see.) However, we don't have to start dealing with him straight away. After dealing with this initial Bosspire, we can wait a while, do other stuff, and then I can bring the vamp' in when I feel it's time to do so.

Perhaps Beastmaster Vamp's sire specifically gets a kick off of ruining lives? Been having the villain idea of someone that deliberately ruins people's lives in the most meaningful way possible in my head for a bit now. Though I think this mention should be just before his defeat, and I wanted him to also say "Do you know what it is like to be hated by the things you love?" I am fine with him mentioning his sire as the confrontation's opening line however.

Could you perhaps tell me more about the sire through a PM?

Hey Taco, can you approve the new signups? Or do we need daltar to do that?

Is there any singular origins for Elves in Starline? I kind of like the idea of them (or Wood Elves in particular) being Angel/Dryad hybrids. So you get the general long lived super models, while making it so they didn't naturally develop either.

EDIT: So... Regarding the Frost Zombies, do we have to wait for Daltar to confirm if the mist is being destroyed and who Katja Rilstein, or are we suppose to decide that on our own? Cause if destroying the mist isn't going to work, I'll need to have Liliana do something else.

Welp, I guess some saw it coming but now it's reality.

I can't GM the game as I'd like... it has grown a bit too big for me to handle and worse yet, missing the first couple of days due to complications on my end and seeing it blasting through so that I couldn't shape and follow with it properly has just kept me further away from it.

Thus, not to kid ourselves, I'd like to leave the RP in the hands of someone passionate that can keep up with it and guide it... Or, I could just leave it to self govern as it mostly has worked so far. Taco is my Co-GM but unless they offer themselves, I can't ask them to handle all of it alone when I can't do it myself. So... what would you people want? Self government? Appoint someone? Elections?

That's a shame. I can't see any outcome other than people looking at Taco as the GM unless you appoint someone else.

Well, I just think it would be nice if you could explain the general plan you had for the two events. Besides that, I say we go with self government with discussions held before running any major event, introducing new major NPCs, or accepting new characters/players.

Either this goes over to someone else or the thread runs itself. I can't be a full GM on an RP I didn't make.

The plans for the two events are rather simple really.

For the Frozen Walkers, there is one among their number that is the leader, a Star that can possess people with the frozen mist. Katya is actually his favorite artist and she is both having a concert in Nova right now as well as selling her newest single. The Frozen Master is planning on both using his zombie horde to secure all copies of her C Ds as well as kidnapping her.

For the Volcanic God, it's just a difficult battle against a big lava foe. Causing him to fall into the water will deal tons of damage and make it so that when he is defeated he'll form a new island.

Oh yeah, did you have any major plans/reveals/twists for Starline? I just think we should try honoring the work you put into this.

Not really, it was a simple stuff always happens here sort of RP. Accommodating for near anything that could happen. Hmmm only thing would be how the Mayor of Starline is really powerful though usually doesn't step in to do anything. His assistant can stand toe to toe with a handful of Stars on her own.

Also, even if you blow up the Tower of the Hero, it fixes itself in a night or so.

I've managed a large number of RP's, both on site and off, but I only just made a character right now and am barely involved. I'd look like a narcissistic opportunist if I threw my hat in here.

Though maybe something like a Triumvirate of GM's would work.

I'm fine with the thread just running itself if that's what Taco prefers. Seems to have worked so far.

So, uh, how does that work for my character and others who might be interested in entering the RP?

I'd assume sign ups don't have to be "approved" by anyone anymore, if there's no longer any real GM. One guy whose signup was never approved already posted, afaik no one noticed or called him out or anything.

Thanks for the notice. It should be pretty fun to do this.

So we're just going to abandon the whole "limited people per event" thing? The Frost Zombie event was already at seven, so I wanted to make sure we're cool with more people just joining in.

I'd be interested in being a co-GM, but if everyone just wants to self-govern, then that's fine too; it seems to have worked so far.

Well, given Sora is a native to Nova, it'd be weirder if he didn't somehow involve himself.

Or maybe I could just add him to another event and respect the limited people per event thing

I had an idea for a plot line if anyone is interested and has characters that cannot enter the current events, if we're going with the people limitations.
