[PXFIRE] [SU/DS] PXFIRE Roleplay - A Game of Storms

[Noblejanobii]

Now who says you're gonna lose this one? I don't think Spook is dominating... Too hard.

That said, I see what you did there all of a sudden... OK, I don't think Athena is going to be leaving the arena without Pheobe's head at this rate. Anyone that mad to begin with is not to be crossed without serious considerations.

I'm not saying I'm going to lose either. Just that, if that does end up happening, it's going to be because Athena was forced from the arena.

Athena is not psychotic by any means. Just very very angry. And all of a sudden? Oh no no no. If you're starting to catch the hints I've been laying down then I suggest rereading my posts with that little tidbit in mind. I've been hinting at this from the beginning.

[LKWayvern]

I assumed that Athena was livid from the start. And I'm honestly not surprised.
I mean, her child was kidnapped, being held hostage, possibly in dangerous conditions, possibly being neglected. Perhaps he's restrained. Perhaps he's not restrained but actions were taken in order to prevent his escape. There's plenty of ways to do that that I can think of, conventional and less so.
Perhaps it's all a hoax to cover up an... accident. Or perhaps that accident had been planned from the start.
If Athena wasn't worried, THAT would have me worried.

Mmm well yes this is true. But that's not quite what I was referring to.

@Noblejanobii I don't know what your planning in terms of looking for the son, but both of my characters are looking for people as well, even if it's not quite to the same extreme. Perhaps we could co-ordinate so as to give us a reason for our characters to interact farther down the road.

Anyway, I'm alright with the new Schedule. Hopefully this RP lives past PXFIRE, it's just so good.

@Morzone I really hope so too, this is honestly the most fun I've had in an RP in a couple months~

I certainly would not be opposed. Athena might be a bit cold towards them at first but she wouldn't be against aiding others in similar quests as her own.

Ohhh, this was hard. You guys are awesome.

And I really shouldn't be up this late but blah.

Your posts rock. Even though Nora doesn't get directly involved with Blood Pit or Dread Metal, you definitely still have her get involved in other ways. The way she lurks behind the scenes in the shadows is impressive. She's observant, cunning, and is definitely an interesting character to watch and follow. While she's surrounded by drunken morons, she's vigilant, but she's not without her addictions and weaknesses. Definitely an impressively realistic and believable character.

Your formatting, activity level, and content are definitely awesome and it was great to see Nora now more in the spotlight getting involved, even if she's not fighting quite yet. Overall, I like what I see and I'd love to see more of it!

I love the way your characters drive. It's exciting! Your posts are definitely very high in the description and you definitely capture the spirit and rush of Dread Metal in them. You also do a great job managing both Julia and Theo and they get a decent share of screen time and action. You were also very active, definitely got involved a lot and interacted well with other RPers (I know I haven't responded yet, but I will very soon!).

I think the big highlight of your posts can be summed up in one word. REALISM. Xavier's injury and the reaction of his teammates was extremely well-captured. They don't always agree, they argue, things don't work out all the time, and all that points back to that realism. They're very believable characters that want the same thing but disagree on how to get it. There's a whole story going on just between them and I really like what you did with it. Definitely very well captured. Usually most of the time, people have NPCs always agreeing with each other, so this was a very nice touch.

Interactions were definitely very good as well. You had them concerned about Death's character, The Grand Lady, which was a nice touch. They were more concerned about her than even Phoebe of the Black Lotus! I found that to be interesting, but yeah, your posts and your own storyline has a really nice flavor to it. Lastly, activity level was extremely impressive. Four very decent posts with great depth is definitely very good. :D

I'm sorry but the way you had Jones kill off Rash the Whimsicott was amusing. Rash flips Jones a birdie and it's just crunch time, end of story. XD I'm going to be thinking of that every time someone cuts me off now.

I also like what you did with Mazer. The interactions beween him and Laura were quite good and their take on dealing with the Grand burning Lady was a nice touch. It definitely gives Death's character a lot more depth and that's good interaction even though it's indirect. Overall, I'd definitely say your posts were quite good and I think the only thing holding them back a bit was a tinge bit more on the activity side. But it's still really good nonetheless!

The Lady definitely has earned her reputation. XD

The first post this week was a little on the mild side, but you definitely made up for that with the second one which had a LOT more depth and interaction. You also have an interesting take on how much more influential Anthony is. He's quite the conversationalist and you wouldn't really expect that from a Mimikyu, but it's still neat, though.

I like Tina. A Pikachu with an attitude! And an interesting dark side to her as well.

Where you took a hit was not really advancing the storyline and not really getting involved with other RPers. Also, you only had one post for the week. Given, it's definitely improving and I see better progress this week than last week, so that's already a big jump up. Maybe for this week, try getting involve a bit more with another person's character and try to do something with Tina that starts to make a significant impact on Black Lotus or something like that. You're a creative and inventive guy, so I feel you could come up with something cool.

Offhand, Tina reminds me a lot of Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. Hiding something hidden and dangerous, small and underestimated, but oh lordy, be careful!

Going directly right after Black Lotus is definitely high on the driving force. Athena wants Phoebe DEAD and she ain't stopping at anything to do just that! And you sure didn't go light on the rest of the Black Lotus squad either! Your posts were also very descriptive, had great action and emotion, and had plenty of other juicy literary treats as well. Again, you definitely started a kako trend. I think everyone's picked up on using that! XD

Overall, awesome job yet again. Would have been cool to see maybe a third post squeezed in for this week, but I understand, I've been having tricky times doing that also. :P

Oh look my Grammar and formatting went from A plus to A Minus, maybe I should, like, not be writing up most all of my posts when I'm dead tired in the middle of the night.

Wait what am I talking about? If I did that they'd never get in at all. Silly me.

Anyway, I think this was a great week! The dread metal derby is huge fun! It's a great scenario for more experienced players to show off their experience and newer RP'ers to have a ton of fun. It's nice to Get Theo out and doing things too. I cannot wait to write up Julia's reaction when she goes back to the safehouse to find out someone blew up part of Theo's plane and kidnapped him.

[Noblejanobii]

Question. Will it cost a team a victory if one member leaves but the rest stay?

So say Bob, Sue, Joe, and Tim go into the bloodpit. Tim gets killed and Sue flips out then leaves, but Bob and Joe stay. Would that cost their team the win?

[Morzone]

I wouldn't think it would cost them the win. That would be like saying "Everyone in your team has to survive in the bloodpit to win!" Which is crazy in those conditions. Just as long as someone on the team is the one on top of that mountain I'd think they'd get the point.
