Kanami Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Tolmaeus If there's reason to go there, I'm open to it, though I'm finding Arias's reason a bit weak, imagine heading out to observe an enemy and then coming back with "Fort blew up, war up north" and nothing else? If you're there to observe I'd suggest digging around a bit more before returning to Tolmaeus. @Crestia I'm happy with a return to Crestia, don't see any huge issues, @Granford Or more specifically Ariost/Leticia. I don't have a problem heading there either, just going to state that you have no chance of taking over anything over there since I don't want Granford being obliterated by a dozen mercenaries in the first 30 pages XD Crestia is likewise not likely to mobilize an invasion army any time soon. (Reclaim Talgusta army likely though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're there to observe I'd suggest digging around a bit more before returning to Tolmaeus. That's the kind of thing that Arias could use the Sending Stone for. And the reason why it's more in character that Arias heads toward Granford as a spy of sorts. To actually try to dig up some reasons. The thing I have is that he's probably going to end up going alone, unless someone has a good reason to go with him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rn7 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Obviously I'm not gonna take over the enemy fort, that would be suicide. There might be some important documents that Arias might want or a map of the supply routes that Beatrice can drool over. At most I expect to only rough up guards and assassinate maybe one person, if lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATS Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (Reclaim Talgusta army likely though) I don't get what's the big deal about who has Talgusta if it were still there, then sure, but it got blown to smithereens, what use is it to either side now could totally see "REMEMBER TALGUSTA" being the crestia war cry though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rn7 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's not a big deal, that's the point. But if the Granford leftovers get attacked there, they might take that as a sign that Crestia is mobilizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATS Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 right, beatrice's little skirmish is of the appropriate magnitude for Talgusta in its current state i'm mainly talking about the idea of a Talgusta Reclamation Army, why would they get an army together to reclaim a scorched trash heap though crestia isn't the best or the smartest nation when it comes to warfare iirc, so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanami Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Cocytus If you're asking if I'll allow you to have a "Sending Stone." I completely support the idea. Due to this, we can probably eliminate Tolmaeus as a destination. @rn7 I'm just used to Rp'ing with people who charge at the enemies capitol city despite being wanted criminal. /Slander (I'll never get over that) Have you got specific ideas for what you want to do there? I know you three have a plot with Schmidt in the background, wouldn't mind you spawning off a few more in the RP :P @CATS I knew this was going to happen >_< Fort Talgusta went boom, Talgusta still has two forts and several towns. Land/Resources playing a factor, as well as it being a frontline territory. So it still has value, just one less fort. (I'll probably rename capitol cities from now on to prevent things like this happening again. I foresaw, yet did nothing about it >_< @Sage I don't "want" you to quit. But if you're finding this RP boring, you're welcome to do so. I don't think anyone hates you though. If you are getting "hate vibes" it's probably directed more at LoAF then at you personally. I posted regarding relationships earlier, so Kieru deciding to be wary of you is not in any way saying "GTFAway from me." I actually expected Shizunai and Bullet to get along a bit better considering how you two fought together in Elrest. If you're just feeling unmotivated you can withdraw temporarily and have your character "disappear into the night" and return at a later date, (or not at all if you decide to leave permanently) @Overall I'm finding that people want to head to Granford. I can direct Laterite (who for some reason wants to escort Kieru home) to Granford after becoming worried that Crestia = scary people who hate religious people. (Eg: Bullet's comment). If Laterite decides to go I assume the other two will follow, Bullet would probably go for "revenge" and Shizunai... can probably think of a decent reason.

Dark Sage Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's more like I'm worried people don't want ME here, not Shizunai. But the hate vibes are quite strong at LoAF and I feel kind of bad since I'm one of the more active posters there. I don't find this RP boring at all though.

Due to this, we can probably eliminate Tolmaeus as a destination. Well, more like I put it in one of my first posts, and I was asking if I could... well, not have it be mysteriously shattered. But yes, I don't see any real reason to head to Tolmaeus. However, if the war is going to be between Granford and Crestia, will we ever actually visit any of the other nations? Just trying to see where you're planning on taking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purg Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Lat's not quite so determined to get her home, actually. If she wants to go to Granford, he'll just find someone he can trust to take her, since he'd rather not get caught as a Crestian noble there. Keep in mind, even if it is just a cover identity, he really is the adopted son of that family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanami Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 @Sage That hate vibes at LoAF, are more related to what's known as "Snowy-bias" XD And while I haven't been around recently Snowy isn't around as often as many posters there. People hating you because you participate in LoAF is no different from someone hating you for liking a game that they dislike. So you shouldn't take it seriously at all. I think the point is, the "complaints" are being directed at people who aren't reading. But you're far from the only person who's been told off for this. I made a fool of myself with the Naomi/Beatrice sword transfer. @Cocytus I can't say for certain whether we'll be visiting all nations. Izuna for one is unlikely to be visited at all, though they will play a political role if the RP continues on for long enough. Tolmaeus however we most likely will, as it's one of the main nations plot wise. The only nation which plays a really slim prospect of ever playing any role is Garius, I might consider just having them wiped out by Izuna since they really aren't important at all, and can be incorporated as a bandit/mercenary troupe. @Purg You have to be difficult XD Though who can Lat trust? The Izu? Bullet? Bandit Beatrice? Mages who seem like flimsy flip flops? Either way it seems it's Cocytus against Purg now then XD Since Mercenaries probably don't care either way, Beatrice seems flexible with promotion/invasion. And everyone else seems to have a "meh" attitude to the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFush Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I personally don't see the issue with one group going deeper into Crestia and the other goring to Granford. Also, you should put your kitty avatar back on, I saw it when I posted this morning and it was cute~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone else seems to have a "meh" attitude to the whole thing. Remember, Ivan's a big nationalist and xenophobe (so far, this has been the case, so if I'm misreading the character, please correct me). I have strong doubts that Arias and Ivan are going to be traveling together willingly... Maybe the two party system is better.

Kanami Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Well we could part ways I suppose, I'm just not too comfortable with the numbers. Crestia group has an adequate number of people for interactions, but Granford has rn7, Cocytus and possibly Spykor. And I don't want to take control of two plots on two different fronts. :/ As for the avatar, this one suits my personality better though XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean people at LoAF hate on you, I wouldn't take that as a sign of anything, pretty sure they hated on me and the SQ crew at first and we honestly thought nothing of it, I'd advise you to do the same If you mean me/others hating on you because you're in LoAF, naw, I don't hate you or even dislike you. It does annoy me when people don't read posts or just do silly stuff like that in general (like Psych's infamous hallucinations with Naomi back near the start of the RP), but I'd much rather see someone keep posting and try to get better about it than get discouraged and ragequit. Remember, Ivan's a big nationalist and xenophobe (so far, this has been the case, so if I'm misreading the character, please correct me). I have strong doubts that Arias and Ivan are going to be traveling together willingly... Maybe the two party system is better. Another thing to remember, he's already willingly going around with an Izu (probably his least favorite nationality of all, if I had to pick one). Liking someone and being willing to work with them are two quite different things. While Ivan's standards for the former are exceptionally high, his standards for the latter are rock-bottom.

Kanami Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Fine, catgirl :/ Though I don't see why you need more, you already have CATS. /lame pun @Crestia/Xenophobes and Racism Sooner of later characters will be forced into another nation, can't stay in Crestia defending the region forever you know. (You surely do) so I suppose I'll fiddle around with a few things and direct the plot towards the fort once again. If people don't want to follow through and want to do their own little thing, that's fine. I'm just going to have to bust out my secret weapon..... Just need to find Hubert and gain his cooperation :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
