~Feedback and Discussion~
We need everyone's feedback about what is going on. We are concerned about getting people more involved in the story, and, due to the controversy currently plaguing the storyline, wonder if it might not be best to start it over. We need to hear all of your questions, comments, or concerns regarding this guild.
Remember, this is not just one person's story, but all of ours, so we need everyone's input who joined this RP on this!!

Before I post my opinion, I want to hear everyone else's first....remember this story involves everyone, not just one person. *sits on a blanket, and waits to hear more opinions*

Ok, screw that...I can't wait. lol. Ok, what my opinion is, is that I'm actually half and half.
Half of me wants to keep the story going...I like the way we have it set up right now, plot twists and everything, BUT here are my concerns:
1.) New members are not being included in the storyline, and old ones are starting to feel left out (one thing I'm personally making it a goal to change)
2.) This story is being run by one person, which isn't right. This story involves ALL of us, and we need to be willing to go with the flow. For example (and I know this guild has nothing to do with Star Wars, but you'll understand soon) being part of a Jedi guild, you have to think on your feet...especially when dueling (which is my fave part...hee hee). You have to take what they throw at you, and work with it. The battle may not end how you'd like, but that's life, but that's also what makes it interesting. Just like life, you can't know what's going to await you down the road in an RP, you just got to go with what is given you, and run with it.
3.) Some characters haven't had much chance to develop, due to having one person run it the way THEY want it to go. I, personally, would love to see more relationships, friendships grow over time....Sab also has wonderful ideas for his character, but hasn't had time to use them, to develop them. Granted, you can't make the storyline go TOO slow, because then others would lose interest. But I also don't like TOO fast.
Ok...that's a start on what I've been concerned about. I'll post anything more as I think about it. xd Please tell us what you guys think!!

okay now that i have read goddess mirages posts((no thats not a shot at you)) i wish to speak out a in my defence and b as more of an opinon.
now a i designed a story that involved sab and controled the flow of info in it i played the evil aspaect of the sl aka making evil good and good evil.. hope that made since to everyone else. now i was running it and possing a challange to his charactor. which if im not mistaken is what makes rp fun is to have puzzles and challanges. now that im done ranting on that on to my opinions. i think since ive been doing a bad job at this and seeing on how im going to be sticking around now that i have a job. i will make a big effort to be around more. also i will plan to have my charactor less active. which means no more me running anything. i will play more of NPC's and myc ahractor will be left on the sidelines. more of thoughts and ideas. i think it should be started over since i did chouse because its an rp to make some poetic edits to the story as a whole. tho i see that rubs people the wrong way so i say lets start it over and i will keep my charactor out of the story for hte most part to keep people happy and i will runn mainly NPC's and throw challanges out ot people. there for all im doing is what i was told my job was.

You know, that makes me think somewhat. Since I tend to do it a lot anyway, I might as well start controling some of the NPCs. That would be a good thing to do as a mod, seeing as my character, as an Administrator, isn't exactly the most involved in events....
((But, as a side note, I 'highly' doubt most players would be flippant to an Admin, seeing as how it is oh so easy to be deleted that way. I'm not going all power-hungry on ya'll, just making a point.))

Starlight_the_Wanderer You know, that makes me think somewhat. Since I tend to do it a lot anyway, I might as well start controling some of the NPCs. That would be a good thing to do as a mod, seeing as my character, as an Administrator, isn't exactly the most involved in events.... ((But, as a side note, I 'highly' doubt most players would be flippant to an Admin, seeing as how it is oh so easy to be deleted that way. I'm not going all power-hungry on ya'll, just making a point.)) That's a great Idea,but having an "Online presence" as an Administrator Character is a good idea,you won't need to exercise such abilities as Character Deletion and ID banning,you can have your subordinates attempt to do it for you (Cerulean Knights) I brought them to the game,so you in particular can use them.They're more hardcore than the Crimson Knights ever were,although it should be played by all that "Players" despise these new Knights,their not there to be liked.I made them strictly to be antagonistic Administrative Agents of CCcorp,although they are quite powerful,they are your subordinates,they follow your orders to the letter. The rest of the Mods can control them as NPC's in the sense that the CK's are doing what they're supposed to be doing under your order or Culla if he gets back,but Dessan and I Character-wise cannot have the CK's work for us,and we cannot have them be controlled by our characters,but as mods we can further enforce these NPC's orders that you give them,or the way they were designed,basically to arrest and detain "Illegal Player Characters" such as Hackers like Dessan,and Player-Killers like Dissent and Rose. Other NPC's WE all can play with not as,are the PC's that aren't controlled by anyone else.Basically as a Mod starlight,you are technically a GM,Dessan isn't the only one.Mirage is the Main GM.but she has guild Mods for a reason.As a GM you help to build a mood,an element,you Mold the background and setting.As an ingame System Administrator,you control the weather,and all CCcorp sponsored " system events".starlight!...your Raius character AS System Administrator you have more powers than you realize,whether you like it or not,what makes you better as a player character is knowing when to make use of your abilities,and not abuse your god-like powers by being power-hungry.as an Administrator,you can Debug-mode yourself,and parts of The World as well,however you yourself would have to RP the roles of your Supervisors in CCcorp,and reprimand your character if he makes decisions in his best interests instead of "The World"s. Thats just RPing realistically.

Dessan okay now that i have read goddess mirages posts((no thats not a shot at you)) i wish to speak out a in my defence and b as more of an opinon. now as I designed a story that involved sab and controled the flow of info in it i played the evil aspaect of the sl aka making evil good and good evil.. hope that made since to everyone else. now i was running it and possing a challange to his charactor. which if im not mistaken is what makes rp fun is to have puzzles and challanges. now that im done ranting on that on to my opinions. i think since ive been doing a bad job at this and seeing on how im going to be sticking around now that i have a job. i will make a big effort to be around more. also i will plan to have my charactor less active. which means no more me running anything. i will play more of NPC's and myc ahractor will be left on the sidelines. more of thoughts and ideas. i think it should be started over since i did chouse because its an rp to make some poetic edits to the story as a whole. tho i see that rubs people the wrong way so i say lets start it over and i will keep my charactor out of the story for hte most part to keep people happy and i will runn mainly NPC's and throw challanges out ot people. there for all im doing is what i was told my job was. You don't have to leave your Player Character on the sidelines,it should be encouraged that you play your character,seperately from your role as a Mod and a GM,and remember you're "technically" NOT the only GM here,ALSO take note that all players are required to "GM" somewhat,for example the NPC's their facing,the "weather Conditions" if any,what is going on in the background,and try to follow with the game in "Continuity",pretty much what they've already been doing for the most part.BUT they cannot control the direct actions of the CK's or administrators,just control how they react to these CK's and SA's,so to not to abuse it.The best way you can play your character is to not play him as the Main hero of the story,but as part of a group of heroes.This group of "Heroes" are the other players,We cannot formally end the game with uniting the group of players together.As a hacker,you should play somewhat more of an active playing role as "warrior" Helba.Since technically you are the Helba of this game,except you're not wearing a similarly cute outfit. As for myself,I'm not playing Dissent as a over-powered Godmode character,he has many weaknesses but his strengths lie in the fact that he's fast and difficult to hit.He's supposed to be played as if he was say Cubia...he fights,he leaves,he comes back again...but as i roleplay my character further,he's not all bad.He's even fighting against himself. I'm also selective with whom I "Data-Drain" notice I only have data-drained Player Character NPC's,and them only.Instead I like to "Soap-Opera" the character abit,and enjoy the actual RP aspect of the game and use dialog over hack-&-slash. And as for my "other" duties I prefer to be the "guild editor" in the sense that I edit the unreadable posts,fix spelling and grammar to make each post more readable,and so we can appropriately follow game continuity. I've been absent,because of Guild stress,I don't enjoy unneeded stress when I join the guild for the opposite.So what did I do?I hung out in ED for the past three days,debating out my stress,and creating some threads myself.
