As you've all no doubtedly guessed by now, the sitewide RPG has grown rusted...and silent....something rather unusual for us!
Now then, a few of the other admins and I are tossing the idea of getting this thing started up again around. Any ideas? Should we have one big post that catches everyone up, or start up another rpg that starts off at the same point in time, just with a new goal (always can say that the other was somehow reached, but we wouldnt be able to finish it). Or should we simply pretend that one ended? I'm open to opinions!
Let the debates begin ^.^

To be brutally honest, I wouldn't care much if we just canned this one. It seems to be lifeless and honestly, its been lagging because we've had no direction. I think what we need for future RPG's is for SOMEONE to have a CLEAR outline of WHAT's going to happen, which events will turn up, any obstacles, etc. in order for us to know what we're doing, otherwise our characters look a bit useless because we're all wandering around wondering what's going to happen next.
Granted, Jack I bet knew what was going to happen but him leaving left us leaderless, in a sense. And I tried thinking up what to do but honestly didn't want to tamper with it when I really had no idea how the whole thing was supposed to work out. AND the fact that we kinda had NO rival or any enemy sorta caused it to hang around. With no one to 'chase us' or be after us IC there was no reason to rush or move at all really.
Again, that's totally my opinion but if it were my decision I'd scrap it. Its got nothing holding it up, at least in my opinion. This way we can start one where we have a sturdier structure and whatnot and can then progress well with it. *nods*

I understand exactly, Evy. This RPG didn't produce too much motivation in the good guys vs bad guys department since we had no bad guys, lol, and it was a bit confusing without Jack. I'm somewhat leaning towards starting up a new one, but this one can always be refreshed and whatnot! I hear what you're saying, and once we hear others opinions and sir Jack gives his input, perhaps we'll be ICing soon enough!

Yeah i'm on the same wavelength as Evy is. This rpg just never really had enough "events" in it to keep it interesting and that could be the reason for the lack of posting too, that and people are getting busy lately *meeps and smacks all the busyness* I was actually coming up with ideas and a storyline for an RPG that we could do in the future while I was walking to my class today (its a 20 minute walk from me car to that class so i had some thinking time)
I'll make a real clear, defined outline for it and show it to ye all soon as I get it done and maybe we can use that one. Has bad guys in it and a simpler plot! But its up to you guys. And I do think we should scrap this one and just pretend it ended. Some stufff happened like Marks self mutiney and things like that, that I feel should stick with everyone so I dont think we should just scrap it and pretend it never happened. My personal vote is to just have someone make an ending and then move on from there.
And maybe we shouldnt start a new one until maybe the end of July when our Evyness gets back. Its too hard to push an rpg forward when any of the major posters arent here.

Lol well it's up to the majority I guess. I was just wanting to wait for Evy because otherwise I can't use Eric or the new guy I was gonna introduce, Braden (as his tie in is with Eric) but Will I could still use I s'pose! And my moms best friend is flying out from Indiana until July 9th so it's doubtful Ill be online at all during that time. Maybe we could start it mid-july? *Shrugs*
