With that pep talk out of the way, let me know if there is anything I can do to help. While Rae is not an IC leader for this since well, she very reluctantly accepted the linkpearl from Vairemont in the first place. I am sad to hear that he seems to be no longer involved though. Alas. RL sometimes takes over. Or our muse just withers away. Who knows?
But I certainly do want to support you in this effort. Rae does have her hands in a few other cookie jars though, so I always expected her to be a peripheral character in this storyline. I didn't have a storyline arc planned for her with the Ishgard, I was going to see what gaps were left after people started, and see if the she would fit in those gaps in anyway. Still. Let me know what I can do.
I suggest first though that you see how many are still interested, get a new LS (I never created one myself so I have no idea how you do that other than go see the LS merchant), invite them there then have a pow wow brainstorm. Or just brainstorm here since getting everyone on at the same time to discuss live on LS could be hard too.
Does anyone want to play the assassins hunting out ex-patriots? Anyone want to play the hunted vs hunter? Or any other character in that plot? Was there to be an IC meeting of the minds on the LS? What would be the next step in this storyline? ONE person driving the storyline while everyone waits for that person to do their thing is not going to work, that might be what Vairemont ran into, I don't know. But that's too much to put on one person. It works best if you have cooperative storytelling, with multiple people willing to take different parts in that story. So people should maybe pipe on what their ideas may be, or what parts they want to play. The next step should be beyond "I want to be involved" to "this is my idea." Â And see if the ideas can all gel together to create something fun.
That's where I would start.
Great advice! Thank you Brynn! You're right, I don't want to be the only one this hinges on which is what it was with Vairemont. I'll just make a new LS, and begin getting people in. I'm glad you're willing to help.
