Alright, here is the deal: when we first started this guild, not enough planning was put into the story, setting, charecters, systems, etc. As a result, we have all sorts of problems that shouldn't be happening, happening. Most of these problems have to do with the story and such, as that is where I put the least amount of planning, when I should have put the most. I am very sorry to all of you for not planning ahead enough.
Now, there are two ways this can be solved (or at least, attempted to be solved). First of all, we could just stick with the current RP, and me and BFU can try and fix the various elements that need fixing. The other option is to simply kill off this current story and start a completly new one that adresses the issues with the current one.
There are a few upsides, and a few downsides to starting a new RP. One upside is that with a new one, much more planning and thought would go into the setting and story, so that I don't end up trying to improvise the whole thing. Another good thing is that if we started a new RP, all of you would be able to be involved in choosing the setting and such for the chronicle, so hopefully it would result in something the majority of you would like.
There are a number of bad things too, however. The main problem is that starting over would create some downtime in the guild while we plan out the details for the setting and the plot and all that jazz. I can understand if you want to go right back to the RP, especially after this long period of the guilds being down. However, in the long run, it is possible that it might be better on the whole to start over, despite the downtime that would create.
I want to hear your oppinions. Please, vote in the poll, let us know what you think. If you have any other comments, questions, etc, post them here, make yourself be heard.
One last thing. Gaia has added a dice rolling feature to posts. (You can find examples in the dice test thread.) This would make it very possible to run an actual WTA game, with dice rolls and such. If we decided to change the chronicle, it would be a good time to add dice rolls in. This is just a thought, if you have anything to say about it, please, feel free to say so, but the more important issue at the moment is the issue of starting a new chronicle or not.

I'm all for starting over. We've all got our character sheets, so we can do conversions if need be. The guild that's in place worked pretty well with the toolset Gaia provided at the time, but now that there's a chance to improve upon that, I think we should take it.

I'd also be cool with starting over, like JP said, there is a chance to make things better, so we should go with it. One question though: would we be able to make a new character if we wanted to? I don't really like the one I have, so I want to get rid of him. Is that something I could do?

Yes it is possible for you to change you character, but you will not be required to unless the area where we base the story wouldn't work at all for you. Any changes to your character at the time of the guild changes will not count as one of your character remakes. This is all assuming hat the guild does decide to change. If it does stay the same I would ask you to wait till your character dies.

I'm all for starting over, but that'd be because I just joined; it would give me a chance to get in on "the ground floor" so to speak. But I'll leave it to the members that have been here longer to decide.

Alright, it looks like we have reached a consensus to start over. I'll make a thread about the possible settings and such then. Also: Quote: If you do begin anew, I offer my humble self in service. Make me a Moderator, and I'll help you in whatever you need to begin. Thanks for the offer, but right now BFU & me have things under control. If you have a story idea, please, feel free to share it, we are open to suggestion.

Jean-Paul BFU Alright I will get up the new profile form as well as a thread detailing the dice system for thoes who don't know and hopefully the merits and flaws list before tonight is over. If you want all the flaws and merits from the breed and tribe books, I can start on those. That would be great. I have the ones from the player's guide almost finished so if you could do the breed and tribe ones I would be eternally grateful.
