In the Shadows of Death's Wings


Askier

Recommended Posts

At least I'm not the only one that felt that way. I'd like to take some time to calm down before I say anything else, though.

 

Edit: I think I'm calm enough to put to words how I feel about the matter.

 

I think some people went to the event and immediately left to be with their own contacts as soon as they could feasibly get out of it. I can't really blame anyone for that. But it feels like I - and apparently not just me - am just being pushed aside, since we're not already involved in whatever other stories the more popular characters have already gotten themselves wrapped up in.

 

I'm not saying the "in" crowd has to ignore what they've got to handhold newer RPers, and I would never ask anyone to drop what they were doing just to RP with me. But maybe plots like tonight's are just too over-crowded to get any meaningful development for player characters that don't already have all these involved contacts to run off with afterwards, so maybe we should try to get in touch between event nights more (I've tried a bit, but haven't had luck) instead of having to find something else to do and get out of the way.

Even though I noticed that no one was actually tending to your wounds or any other people as well (I think it's also because there were literally too many people in there with non-participants too) so the logs have just clumped up that they probably didn't notice reading yours too :/

 

I have no excuse on the matter for this,  I personally had to go OOCly so I had to cut my dialogues with Erik, Meta and Lilith (and also I didnt talk with the rest either) but I admit I should also have said something about your character requiring to treat wounds. So I'll apologize for that.

 

If there were people who were chatting ICly for events and you are also chatting through LS/FC, I suggest you to at least set up your chat settings to only allow /say and /em and not anything else. Because chances are that your LS/FC chats are spamming up the chat log.

Hey Jana and Lilith, I would be happy to have some rp's with you two to get you drawn in.  I'm sorry it has taken so long. Unfortunately my work schedule has been crazy hectic with some reorganization going on and I haven't been able to devote nearly as much to this event as my last ones cause of it and for that I am sorry. ( I just got done with a 63 hour work week :(  )

 

I logged off almost right after event due to RL things and wasn't able to have Askier swing by.  I'll be on later today and will poke you both with a tell and try to help catch you up to speed IC and make sure you are both ready and set for next event.

Jana, I'm sorry..I wanted to meet you before the fight so our chars could officially meet up. But since the numbers were off Iron got to be the first one downed. I think I was literally the last one out since I was being healed by the altar forever..and then had to be rehealed since the didn't treat the wounds right the first time.

Please set up a time we can meet up, Iron saw her in the assembled, and will want to talk...er..write. He can't talk for now!

I will agree tho that the groupings seemed to branch off and depart without much unity, Edda Kale and Leanne and Lilith stayed with me..Honzo too, but everyone else was like..pffft..another dead Roe. lol.

We should all interact and get to know eachother more as a team if we are to combat the crows together. there has to be a meshing so we have unity.

Jana, seriously tho, message me in game. I'm on vacation this week and WILL make time for you.

Truth be told, beyond ULDAH Iron only really knows Anelia in that group. It's why he was getting pissy at the start, like who the heck are these blokes? What do they all know?

While Askier is putting the work into the bad guy end of this event, let's get together and work out our own end..Iron has his def reasons for wanting to put an end to this..but he isn't clear on why or who anyone else is...

Sorry some of you felt neglected, in the future if someone puts out a call on the Immortal Flames LS for medical attention, I will come. Unfortunately, since I have to show up as a villain for the events, Alexei isn't aware when these events occur, but he will certainly come post event and play doctor if told.

 

Those of you who'd like to meet a Crow sometime, shoot me a PM or message me in game, I'm often on and we can set something up.

Wow, I got a lot of replies on my busy day, so I'm sorry for not responding sooner.

 

The general vibe I'm getting is that OOC communication kinda failed and I got the wrong impression off of that, which is why I don't personally agree with your set-up for an RP tab, Aldotsk. I keep the RP LSes visible in mine as well, since they already don't get anywhere near as much activity as my OOC LS/FC. I've always valued them as tools to try and get people together to RP and to communicate OOC-ly once the RP has already begun, so I admit I'm a bit perplexed when people say they can't read them during a scene. I wouldn't want to be sending tells to 10 people during a big event like this anyway!

 

Anyway, I'll keep being online during the week, and I'll pop in tonight too. Thanks for taking the time to address my fears!

I'm always happy to RP and would love to get more involved. In fact, Meta and I were going to try and get in touch with Iron Sea to see about getting hired on to help deal with this little problem. They are mercenaries after all. :)

 

my online time has been a bit spotty this past week, but I'm generally online most days of the week.

I was not there so I cannot speak for anyone, but I could almost guarantee if anyone felt ignored it was most likely due to one of two things:

1.) lots of chat scrolling - even for those who are used to skimming for pertinent information, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

2.) chat 'nom'-ing? - Sometimes the filters will eat someone's post for no good reason. Even if you see it on the screen, others may not have simply because it didn't actually go through.

 

Bad first impressions are hard to get over, but I hope this one won't stop you from future participation!

I'm game. I'll be around a bit this week hopefully. Iron was being cooped up in his FC house from getting made into a human quiver, but he is already back to sneaking out.

He met up with Jana last night and broke things down for her, also to give some direction..so if that pair is looking for him he isn't too hard to find ( meaning whisper me and I'll drop the big lug somewhere. Usually the Quicksand, but recently the Limsa fishing docks since he is working an angle there. )

Either way, I'm down for building up a network and group to Crow hunt.

Iron can certainly be used as a gateway for people to get info, and plan how to go about further.

Askier, if you want need any angles worked message me!

I don't have any intention on giving up :) This was only my first event, and I'll continue to keep trying to integrate myself into the community ^_^

I don't know if I'll be able to today, but I'll send you a whisper in the near future so Meta and I can arrange something to stop by :) Mercenaries love a good hunt!

I wasn't there either (and I haven't been... sorry! >_< )but just knowing the people who are involved and running things...

 

They aren't the cliquish type! Don't give up! I mean, Askier & Co. goes through the pains of setting these events up to bring the community together after all!

 

This community is really open. Just make sure there is plenty of OOC communication BEFORE HAND so people know who is whom and what is going on.

 

I know I had to direct someone to this event (late even) and I am sure incorporating anyone to this event would have been made SO much easier if there was just some preparation ahead of time.

^This! In hopes of preventing people from feeling left out next time, we are going to try and have an attendee list for each future event. We hope that each of you who plans to come will let us know in advance with the name of your character and which side they fight for. That way everyone can refer to the list to see who their team is in advance. If you also know someone is coming, but is not on the RPC, please note that they will be coming. It will help the organizers out a lot in advance to have some idea of who is coming, and work to fix any significant imbalance before the event starts. It also means we can track down those signed up and remind them 30mins before hand or so that the event is starting.

 

I would also like to personally apologize for the messy start. There was more I could have, and should have, done to try and make things run smoother in Askier's absence.

Hello all!

 

Thank you to all who attended my first event.  Event number two is Saturday but I need some volunteers.  I need 3 more lovely ladies to act as "sacrifices" , don't worry you won't actually die or anything like that.  Basically you will be playing the damsel in distress that the heroes have to rescue just moments before your eternal soul is ripped from your body and turned into fuel for a dark resurrection spell.  How's that for a first date setting?  Lol.

 

If you are interested in participating, please pm me about it. Be glad to have you.  :D

 

I'll be posting  more about event two and posting a way for all those coming to sign up so we can help eliminate ooc issues this time.

 

Edit:

 

Women do not need to be virgins! lol

A big thank you to all who rped last night. Was a fun little random mini event that happened. Lol.

 

Also Iron Sea has volunteered to be the hero team leader.  If you wish to get involved, Iron is a master at getting people involved and an awesome Rper.  If you wish to be a baddie still, We are always interested. 

 

For event the Saturday, will.be at 9 cst at the dry docks La Noscea. 

 

Why dry docks? Cause I love that place but never have a reason to there. . . Now I do! Lol.

 

Heroes will meet with Iron at the Gate of the dry docks. Baddies and kidnap victims inside the dock itself. Check in will begin as early.as 8 pm cst and we will try to start as close to 9 as possible.  We ask that if Iron, myself, Rotunda or Oubliette asks you do something If or OOC, within reason, you do it, especially when we are organizing groups for fighting.

 

I'm looking forward to this and any questions are welcome.

We have two days left..and one damsel on that list. If we can find a few more ( I'll see if I bump into any too , but if anyone has lucky lady friends who want to be snatched up offer em to the pike )

then I think we should try to do like last night. Given that was utterly spur of the moment..but it served to draw Misha into the plot, and Kakaru too if he wants to see it through.

If we could do a few more before Saturday.....Jana and Misha maybe with Lilith and Meta Xi....And Anelia and Erik maybe in Ul'dah coming across an abduction we ca dramaticly force everyone together on very even grounds. I'm going to try to meet with as many people IC as humanly possible over the next two days, but if some Crows can play at night..we should definately run some small scenes with everyone getting their own spotlights before we all take the stage together on Saturday!
