Allright...

[Paillan]

well... to be honest... the only ones doing something are Amar, Bern, David and Kari. I think AL is, ocuppied? or doing something to... Umm... I don't now how to draw my character... and the rest are pretty dead.

 

[David]

Let's be honest, you are dead as well, you do nothing of use, you just come here say some shit and then you go away...

 

[Paillan]

copying other people? how original... at least I can call myself original (or can't I?)

 

[Bernkastel]

Thank you, Paillan.

 

[AIagremm]

Oh Lord...

 

[Amargaard]

Talk shit about eachother? Yeah let's do that, because that's what we all fucking love.. Yaaaay

 

[Bernkastel]

That's what this place has become.

 

[AIagremm]

What a shame.

 

[kari0003]

I dont blame me.

 

[Binsu]

I can't see the actual cause why David holds too much hatred in Pailan...

 

[Amargaard]

Some people just never get over old grudges, but that's not our problem. I'm sure we can still pull this thing in the right direction

 

[Binsu]

Actually, I've had that hatred too in Pailan but I've just buried that in the ground and be friendly. =)

 

[Amargaard]

And that's the right thing to do

 

[Binsu]

Well, thanks so how is this RP going?

 

[kari0003]

We didn't start yet

 

[Bernkastel]

....

 

[Binsu]

Okay, I see.

 

[Amargaard]

Allright... I made a world map suggestion - tell me what you think
Linky linky!

Planet Vika'el

Planet Vika'el:

For the roleplay, where we need a world map. I took the freedom of making one, naming the planet in honor of vKael, but leaving names for the regions and places up to you. Also made several points of interest. See below.
Note that equator runs from north to south in this world, through the western regions, which are all pretty hot

1 = Tales from the human cities explain that a few generations ago a huge meteoritte fell from the sky and landed in this lush valley, turning it into a hazardous wasteland, causing volcanic eruptions and all, but that's not all. The essence of a powerful evil being is said to have been caught in the meteoritte, which was unleashed on the impact, and that the being built a huge underground fortress, deep below where the meteoritte had hit, and that all visitors to the fiery wastelands are captured, imprisoned, and finally changed into twisted minions for the evil being. This is only fairytales of course.. or is it?

2 = Many small harbor cities lie among the islands and shores near the capital of the human "newcomers", who settled on planet Vika'el about 10 generations ago.

3 = Somewhere in the prairie-region lies a tall mountain, with a natural tunnel that leads to the other side, where a beautiful long and broad canyon goes for a mile until it reaches the ocean.

 

[Bernkastel]

What on Earth is this "evil being".

 

[Amargaard]

Yeah, that is not my job to make up, but maybe Shao himself, or one of his minions? ^^

 

[AIagremm]

I sort of like the meteorite part. It's classic.

 

[Bernkastel]

Emperor Shao is dead, if it was him, the planet would be nothing but a couple of rocks flying around.

And then an excellently intellectual question. Why would a warlord send a minion?

 

[Amargaard]

Hmm, how could I know? You never said anything about his death or his powers, but oh well - I didn't say it was him at all, just somebody evul - and perhaps it's just a fairytale ^^

Oh and maybe the warlord have better things to do than invade a planet, or as you said, is dead :b

 

[Amargaard]

Sorry for the double-post, but I'd really like to know whether the map is going to be used or not?

 

[Bernkastel]

I don't really give a crap, if you want to use it l then do.

 

[Paillan]

Planet E-arth... I will get my butt out of it as fast as possible.

 

[David]

We can do roleplaying shit on dnd http://www.wizards.com/dnd/

 

[Paillan]

For you david

Meanwhile I am working on that picture.

 

[David]

That song should be banned forever. Just saying...

 

[Bernkastel]

You can do roleplaying shit there 'cause I won't allow it here.

 

[David]

* David looks at Bern *

You know, you were right when you said " I'm the bitch "

 

[Bernkastel]

It was a joke. I am the bringer of light.

 

[Amargaard]

Allright... I just had an idea for this group, that I think would be kewl to imply

That we start using a new feature called chapters. With each chapter, Bern will make up some kind of world event, that will touch all of us players, and everytime a new chapter starts, several new contests are launched, somehow based on that world event (Old contests of course have to end before a new chapter starts). Additionally the group's name should be renamed every time a new chapter starts to "<group name>: Chapter <number>", and the logo changed as well

That way, I think it would be more fun to progress through the story together, and the new chapters, with constant fun events and contests will keep life in this group. What do you say?

 

[Bernkastel]

Fine.

 

[Amargaard]

Awzum, in that case, do we agree that this is now the official chapter zero, and that chapter one will start once the current two contests are over, which will also be the official start of the roleplay?

 

[AIagremm]

Why wait? It's not like there is much progress with concept art. Besides, text roleplay doesn't consume much time.

 

[Bernkastel]

Why wait? Because nobody does anything. If nobody does anything. Hell am I going to start this at all. Nope.

 

[Amargaard]

While I see your point that it's tiring to be patient for so long, I also know that starting the RP now might not be the smartest idea. Why?
Because the theme of the latest of the current two contests, is introducing your character to the story. Starting the RP already now would make new people not want to enter the contest because their brain will start thinking in the lazy way realizing it takes time to create an artistic product to begin their roleplaying, instead of just writing a couple of lines and get it started right away.
And the current participants will not finish their products because they will enter the story sideways with the contest, and the product that they are working on will get old and outdated, and the outcome of the product will end up spoiled in the roleplaying anyways, so they will simply lose interest in continueing it at all.

I think I can predict your next comment - "Well, fuck contests then, let's just make this a full RP group!", and tho I see a point in that too, I know that by doing that, the group will end up even more inactive than it already is. Because humans like to compete against others, especially when in a friendly atmosphere, and they like the feeling of aiming for a price - and many Hivers are greedy for reputation points, which we can provide. Having new contests all the time combined with a good roleplaying story assures new faces appearing in the group, and the old ones to stick around for longer - and that is basically how a community is kept alive

 

[Bernkastel]

If that comment was referring to me, then no.

 

[Amargaard]

It was an answer to Al actually
(And you are supposed to be on my side for once)

 

[AIagremm]

I see your point. And I actually think that without contests this group loses it's purpose.

 

[Amargaard]

Woooohoooo!
This must be the first and last time I ever won a discussion with the master of discussions in a single post! Allow me to be proud of myself ^^

 

[AIagremm]

You won this battle, but the war is not over...
*Slowly moves further into the shadow*

 

[Bernkastel]

This is but a battle. I've already won the war.

 

[AIagremm]

*Comes out of the shadow*
Oh come on, I did 3 years of shadow school for this? To find out that someone else already won the war?
*Opens the door*
Screw this, I'm going away. I need to rethink my life.
*Slams the door in anger*

 

[Amargaard]

...
Well well well missy, seems it's just the two of us then, and none of your wars are won as long as I'm around! >

 

[Bernkastel]

Eh~. Really now.

 

[Amargaard]

Yeah, don't underestimate me. I have sunglasses far more awzum than anything you could imagine!

 

[Bernkastel]

Really now? Speaking of imagining things. When are you planning to continue your comic?

 

[Amargaard]

Well .. uhmmm.. yeah.. ehh.. sooner than yours for sure! >
I actually made progress, not much tho, but I'll finish once my computer and scanner is fixed in my new home
