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

[Neo Emolga]

Yay scores! I'm a little surprised they were posted in the main RP thread rather than in here but oh well, we all see them anyway.

Yeah, that's true, I could have posted them here. I guess I went with the main RP thread because this one hasn't been used for a bit, but it works either way. :P

Little bummed I didn't get more, but when you only have 100 points total to give out 11 points really means I did nice and average, which isn't bad. I was worried about the low number of my posts, but I had been hoping for a response from Death to interact with and unfortunately they've been busy. TO be honest though, we actually had our characters interact quite a lot, but it was all on Skype. Mainly when the RP started, we agreed that the boss of the Steel scavengers would have talked to Julia/Theo about joining the festival a good deal before the day before it started. So we did a scene between Anthony and My characters about joining so that we had something to refer back to. (we also set up a reason for Theo and Anthony to interact more closely) If you remember my first post I had Julia worry for a moment about having told Anthony too much about Theo, that was what I had been referring too.

Yeah, it's tricky to distribute scores. It's definitely a much different ballgame than WAR.

Unfortunately... what happens on Skype doesn't count. Everything I graded on was purely in the RP thread. I know firsthand Death likes to work with Skype a lot and will do a lot of plotting and planning there, which is cool and fine, but I just can't grade that.

I guess this is what we get for saying so little about it though. We just figured our teams would have known about the festival for a good deal of time and would have gotten participants together before hand. Which is why we started off traveling toward Westfel/the capital, instead of having our characters meet up. (I had also hoped we could interact some in the safe-house but you saw where that went.)

It kind of sounds like you came close to an interaction, but it just didn't happen. Again, it's not an easy thing to pull off in the beginning and exposition stuff is going on, but even a minor interaction would have been nice to see. You definitely tried to initiate it, though.

As for the heavy dialogue, I'd say that's partially due to that I feel that how a character talks/acts is a very important part of showing their personality, as thoughts and actions don't always align. The part I'd pin to the fact that I'm not very good at describing things, so I worry that my posts will end up too short and too weak if they are mostly filled with short and to the point descriptions, rather than better elaboration that could shed some light into how a character is feeling and the personality behind the thought process.

Oh, that's fine. You did well, though and I think you are pretty well aware of what you need to do to score higher. I honestly don't think you'll have trouble with it.

Still, I'm quite happy with a bunch of B+'s and thrilled at the A+, even if it only was in grammar. I'll try to be more active this coming week.

Yeah, I have a good feeling you'll do even better next time around. It's a whole new grading system and sometimes it just takes a little getting used to the formatting. I also haven't judged RP for a while now. :P

I do have a question though, about the events. For the eliminations rounds, how many people move on? Is it a timed thing where anyone still alive may continue, or is there a set number?

They're a last team standing kind of thing. If it was timed, well, someone could move onto the next round just by being effective at running away.

Remember, you as a player still have the option of surviving by escaping whereas NPCs are way more likely to die than survive. Teleporting, digging your way out of the arena, flying out, or something along those lines are possibilities. Also, you're definitely not graded on if your character wins or escapes from events. In fact, if you capture a clever escape in your posts, you'll actually score higher than someone who just casually won and that was all. Just note that once you leave the arena, you can't come back later and still win.

Oh, Neoooooo~

Are competitors allowed to communicate with others outside of their respective events? EG, if Lisa the Raichu and Frank the Magnezone were both part of the Thundercrash Gang, and Lisa had been setup with a headset or something similar, would Frank be allowed to relay information to Lisa?

Hellooooo :)

Heh, heh, I see what you're trying to do. And yes, you sure can. >:3

And you're not the only ones doing this kind of thing either. >:D
