Acacia Sgt Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 You know, at times I wonder if it would've been better to let us decide the character rather than letting others choose... but admittedly, doing it that way does have its appeal.

Acacia Sgt Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Haha, true. A prompt letting us chose would've been neat as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulWeaver Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I mean at this point especially there's nothing prohibiting you from choosing your own character there, I just figured I'd hold onto that part of the rule myself, since I was happy to stick all of you with it at the time. Even considering I had someone else pick for my non-participation entry, I specifically chose Ana because I knew she was a Tellius girl and this brought the uncertainty down quite a bit. I was expecting her to pick Ike, but Elincia was high on my list of alternatives I'd planned for so it wasn't that big of a surprise. Honestly I expected Chloey to pick Robin/Grima, perhaps Chrom. Lissa's definitely left-field, I'm glad I have some time before I get to that one so I can let my brain work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Oh, it was one of your prompts? So what made you decide to go for the "pick someone to pick the character for you"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what I was thinking when I suggested it LOL I didn't even realise that it was that prompt LOL. Also I suppose I should mention I have a large document with prompts as a list... So I may share at some point. ETA: I'll have to share it, it's huge and some of the ideas I have is fun.

Mainly because I liked the coin-toss round. Having multiple options but not being able to select exactly which option sounded like it could be interesting. In this case, I wanted it to have more flexibility and a little more control than just a coin toss, and any of us could alter our character chosen by selecting a different person - as mentioned earlier I intentionally chose Ana to pick my character for this reason, to reduce my chances of getting some random out there character like I was seriously considering doing had anyone chosen me. Ana being a huge Tellius and Zelda fangirl meant that I had a really high chance of getting someone from Tellius or Zelda. This being a Fire Emblem forum probably meant she was more likely to pick Tellius. She's a giant Ike fangirl, meaning my probabilities leaned heavily towards him. I'd also had Elincia, the red cav from that game, I forgot his name, and even Sylvain from 3H as backup potentials(since she's also a big Sylvain fan), and she ended up going with Elincia, though this was apparently because she didn't realize the prompt meant waking up as that character, which was funny. Basically, it meant you didn't have total control over what you could write about, but with a little digging on the other participants you could learn how to skew the odds so you were more likely to get one you'd want, which in theory incentivized learning more about each other. Chalk it up as an attempt to create more friendship among us if you like. ...This was 100% intentional and definitely not just something I bullcrapped out right now.

Acacia Sgt Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Uh huh, I definitely don't remember that whole "you can ask a different person for more options" bit. Though as I mentioned before, though I don't think it was here, I did liked the concept of stories that had more than one person involved in their making. That said, I didn't participate in the original, and only did the asking bit for the "write a prompt you haven't written for" prompt. Oh well.

TheSilentChloey Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I actually have started something for the last prompt. I don't know how well it will go but...hopefully it makes sense. Spoiler https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BJoekYrKWmyB2vUE73q4PdmMni73Kt49_KyBQlhUtYo/edit?usp=drivesdk About the only one that I could do...because I wanted to move away from Grima LOL Edited May 25, 2021 by TheSilentChloey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
