If people want it will continue. Probably not. Not enough happening between the teams itself.
Oh I see, like a splinter group. You should have cleared this with Neo first since he's the leader, but thanks for the clarification.

I'd like to keep it going, but :P I've seen how that goes. I'm usually the last to post in the RP, and then no one else wants to participate...
Also, wow, first place all three weeks? I'm honestly surprised. I didn't even think first week was all that great on my end. Pohe's a fun character to write, and it helps she was based off a preexisting character (although, notably more morally skewed and a jerk), which means she's easy for me to write. I've enjoyed everyone else's posts as well, but I have to agree, this has not been a good WAR for anyone this year, I think, especially in RP.
It's been so slow, and for a WAR RP, that's... rather depressing, no? THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE EXPLOSIONS AND VIOLENCE.

I think some people found the premise confusing or intimidating. Others were terrified about their lack of "military knowledge" even though there really were no military presences in this at all (and even when there are, a tank is a tank, a gun is a gun. Dropping even the specific stuff like M1A2 Abrams into a Google image search will instantly tell you it's a tank). As far as this RP goes, for the little conflict there was, it was all PVE. I just don't think we had enough grounds for two good teams to fight each other, although attempts at it were made.
Last year, I think Team Aqua had the best approach. Everyone work on their desired projects or missions, and then, when it's time to attack, everyone gather everything they've worked on and acquired and collaborate with coordinated attacks. For me, it was fun, there was teamwork when there needed to be teamwork and not people clinging together just for the sake of it.
Honestly, Grassy and Neo you two tied all the previous weeks. I just had to choose a first and second for ranking sake, and Grassy just amused me a bit more than Neo. Except the week Neo didn't enter, of course.
As for the intimidating, yea I'm as a loss on that as well. When we made this we tried to simplify as much as possible while keeping the setting non-standard. Why it intimidated people I honestly have no idea and can't figure it out. Everything exists, just in different forms and names. If anyone wasn't sure, a simple question in this DT thread would have cleared everything up.
The big issue was that it rode heavily on having an evil team causing mayhem, and that didn't happen. Heck, if there was one there might be reason to continue past the point period as well.
Will be judging today sometime after 9pm EST, and even though I already know PB gets 5 this week, third is still up in the air for someone to grab. Does no team want a point? Every little bit helps.

Well, the good thingabout RPs is that there is always room for editing, so if it doesn't last as a WAR RP, which I think puts more pressure on people to begin with, you can figure out what you think would be good areas to change and repost the edited one and start over.
Which Neo did with the conflict addition. It got the job done for this year.

Got my final post in. Wasn't sure of the deadline, assumed midnight EST so XD I got it what, ~ 6 minutes before what I assumed to be the deadline? Totes awesome, man.
I didn't find this all that intimidating... Maybe.. Maybe we were the intimidating ones :O All the advanced RPers!
...And yes, @Morzone, I did indeed name the truck Harley :P

I don't really understand how people can get intimidated by an rp, it just means you have to use a slightly different perspective one things. I posted in the RP, probably won't bump grassy or Neo out of the top 2 slots, but at least there's third. I also went back and edited out that bunnying in my last post, figured it was the right thing to do.
I myself would love to continue this rp after WAR ends. Admittedly, WAR is what got me on to PXR, so this RP and the prism league are my base to build off of. Plus I really love this rp, its SOOOO good. Maybe other people will come back and there will be more than 3 of us. :(
I'm not sure myself what some people find intimidating about RP, but it might be because I've been RPING since I was like 12. XD I know I have friends who are afraid of messing something up/people getting mad--I've heard stories about sites with elitist RPers, but we don't really have people like that around here.
Not sure about how this RP will turn out, but I assure you that most of the RP population here is pretty friendly, so don't be afraid to join in on other RPs.
Points! Fair and unbiased. Easy judging this week. Only three people posting again, so all get points again.
As for deadlines, the deadline I've been going by has been the end of Saturday which is definitely midnight as posted in the Judge SU. I've been usually finishing my judging slightly before that though. But It also says if you can make it in before the end of Saturday AND also before points are counted, you're fine. So you are.
Anyway, we got another Grassy and Neo tie. Wow, surprising? Nope. So I am deciding I liked the tragic death of the flying car slightly better.
First: Grassy. Like I said I thought the car's death was well written, and overall the way Pohe got hurt as well. The description of the damage there was great, and you shouldn't have worried too much about travel posts in the same region.
Second: Neo. I really really liked the creative use of shapeshifting which I would have been doing a lot of myself though differently. I also liked the fighting, and the inclusion of your Raichu. This is why you tied with Grassy again, and the ranks are just a formality really. I liked both your posts and PB collectively gets 5 points.
Third: Morzone. I liked the fighting in your post as well, but Neo and Grassy had you beat in both quality and quantity.
That's all folks! I enjoyed designing this world as well, and I wish I could have had the time to participate, as well as other things adding to not being able to that I wish hadn't happened. But meh, it turned out okay except for the fact that there was no PVP. Feel free to continue if you feel like it, but my work here is done. I've honored my commitment.
