Chaos Rising - Comments Thread
« on: August 20, 2007, 01:15:09 PM »
So as not too bog down the RP thread with Aqua text, I thought this might be needed now since the story is getting more in depth and whatnot.

NINJA BY MIKE:

The new rules to join the RP. CA's original post has been moved to the bottom.

How to go about joining Chaos Rising

Note I: Through out this post, I refer to Chaos Rising as "the RP" or "this RP"

Note II: These rules may seem designed to exclude 99% of the population of Earth. That is a correct observation. I don't want to be rude to everyone who isn't an English Major, but much like you can't join the NHL unless you know how to play hockey well, you can't participate in the RP unless you're going to contribute well. In other words, the bar is set very high.

1. You must be an established member of Tale of the Cave. This means at a bare minimum, 20 posts. We need to know who you are, and what your writing style is.

2. You must read the RP fully. From the beginning. Yes, it's long. Too bad. If you don't read it, you cannot possibly participate in it.

3. Anyone who wishes to join must create a detailed character sheet, including background info and current whereabouts, and an introductory post where the character somehow becomes part of the current events of the RP.

4.
a) You must post the character sheet created in #2 in the comments thread, where you will be subjected to a vote by the voting members of the RP.

b) Three votes or 60% of voters, whichever is less, in your favour will allow you to join.

c) Three votes or 60% of voters, whichever is less, against you will result in you not being able to join.

d) The vote will take place over a period of 48 hours starting from the time your application is posted.

e) In the event of a tie (i.e. enough votes to both accept and reject your application), and a majority of 60% is not reached, the application shall be considered rejected.

f) I, Mike Caron, reserve to right to veto the decision in either way, for whatever reasons I choose.

g) Voting members shall be considered to be any member of the RP who has posted in the RP within the last 60 days, or within the last 15 posts, whichever is more inclusive.

5.
a) Upon acceptance into the RP, you shall be on probation for a period of three (3) RP posts. If any voting member does not consider your posts to be of an acceptable quality after the three posts, or 5 days, whichever is sooner, they may request a re-vote subject to the conditions of section 3.

b) Those who survive the probation period without a vote, or who win a vote of confidence, shall be considered full members of the RP, with all the rights and privleges therein.

c) Those who lose a vote of confidence shall be expelled from the RP, and their posts shall be stricken from the record if possible.

d) If your posts cannot be stricken due to other posts being supported by them, then your character shall be subjected to a colourful death at the hands of the presiding villan.

e) If expelled from the RP, you may not re-apply for a period of one (1) week.


Anyway...this is regarding Chronous's last post.
http://taleofthecave.com/forum/index.php?topic=105.msg2817#msg2817

How is it your character knows about the cult?

And, in some ways, you seemed to point the finger at OwA's character as being in said cult.

Dunno...it just seemed your character was too...'knowledgable' to me.

Anyone else see this at all?

That seemed to be the overall issue. The character was just too knowledgeable. Where he was going to stay, the cult, etc. The building was on fire before he even made it into the city so...?

Agreed.  The one rule of RPing that seems to get over looked...usually accidentally of course, is this..."If you weren't there, you didn't see it happen." or "If you weren't there, you don't know about it."

It's sometimes hard to keep that in mind when you just read about it.  I guess, just try to remember it's from 'your' characters perspective, and not the over all stories.

Fixed.

Also, this was brought up to me a bit ago. Do we want to introduce gods into the RP?

well he sorta wanted to join the  cult... since he is an theif. he know a liitl about the cult, after all he did live in that town, he was there when it was first made, so he was where they were when the made the cult, he clasifies him self as a member, but they don't and want him dead for it...

I will work on developping him more so it will be less confussing in the future, i don't have much time on my hands when i do go online, so all my posts are starting to be like that, i will have to focus on one at a time instaed of running afound every were were i post.


on a different note will there be gods in the future of this RP? i know not right now as you have stated mike.

There are things that we can't see, many of which were once of the living and the empathics of the world fell them and sence their emotions. Not the emotion of the spirits that departed only, but those of the living as well.

There will be no gods.

And for the love of them, will you please type your posts in Microsoft Word or whatever word processor program you have so you can do a spell check and grammar check.

Umm, this is just an observation, and not a suggested course of action or anything, but...if you don't have any online time, then why would you join an RP which 'requires' alot of online time?  Both to read the other posts carefully and to reply if thats what one wishes to do?

Well, I say give him one more chance and see what happens. If there continues to be a lack of improvement, we'll take it from there.

My onewinged friend, you somehow misunderstood what I was saying.  I am not suggesting he leave the RP, or we remove him as such, I was wondering why one would join an RP when they self admitted they wouldn't be online that often, and would not/could not post that much.

Since I seemed to miss a lot, I took the liberty of trying to throw my character into this. It's kind of wierd, but just try to roll with it.

And while my character's pretty weak compared to other people's characters, he's still noticably more powerful than your run-of-the-mill figher. Just thought I'd put that because, re-reading his bio, he doesn't sound particularly strong.

I hate to do this, but...here goes.  Regarding Ares last post  :-\

1) Why would Adian give up Kristen so fast?
2) Especially with Kori and Crystal standing right there? Crystal would have stopped her for sure
3) Why would the FD be looking for Kristen, when they belong to the same 'league'? And the Fire Captain knew who she was as well.

The post seems...a little to plot hole filled and not constitant.  Sorry, but that is how I feel.
And they are Drakes...
