Re: Madrigal OOC Chatter
I don't know if you noticed an earlier post, but I had said that I was going to be mostly away for the weekend, and by extension, Kattunge is as well. Don't go 'this thread is useless!' just yet. I may not have time to GM it outright, but it's a freestyle thread for a reason.
If your characters don't seem to be working out, then it's up to you to find a way to get them to work out -- this could include throwing some NPC's at 'em (feel free to make up your own from the species listed, if you have any questions or concerns, you can always PM me before running with 'em) or... we could always work out some kind of event that doesn't require moderation for you guys to run with. Since it's a freestyle thread, I don't mind if you take some liberties!
The folks who already have GM-led threads can also join up in the freestyle thread as well -- I'm not sure if RK, Xivvix or Pheonix want to do that, but you guys can drop your characters in at any time. Consider it a non-'cannon' sort of thing, if you want. What happens in the freestyle thread(s) isn't going to affect the GM game, but if you want to keep playing 'em, you can do so!
Lastly, I can't promise that Kattunge is going to come swooping in to moderate the freestyle thread (like I said, it's that way for a reason), but if she finds the time to play another character, there's that possibility too. It's just not likely going to happen today.
I'm sorry if it's not the bread-and-butter experience, but I can't open up the game to more GM-led threads without compromising the 'experience' (got, that sounds so hoity toity,) for everyone. I'd rather that folks get a reply in a few hours (when I get the chance to be online fairly often!) rather than once a day, which is what's going to happen if I take on more; that, and I'd wind up epically burnt out in a very short period of time. XD I suppose that I could just shorten my posts down to one or two sentences at a time. That's just... so unsatisfying a compromise, though.
So... I'm sorry that this sucks. Those are the options at the moment (unless you poke your friends to sign up, which is another valid AND awesome option), like it or lump it. I'm still going to holler if a new opportunity does come up, but you've got to take a little more responsibility for making your own fun if you're currently not having any. (That, or wander off to do something else, though I had been enjoying reading your posts so much. XD)
eta: I could change the Main Cavern into a general freestyle section so that you're not trapped in one space... you could wander around in any of the discovered areas (save where Falia hangs out) and make up some NPC's in the meantime if need be? If your freestyle character gets imported into a mod-led game, I was thinking that we'd just assume that they had a generally better idea about where they were instead of also importing all of their freestyle experiences... which means that people could potentially have a lot more power to do whatever is awesome and fun while they're waiting!
I'm glad y'all are getting some weird and fun sex. I have a feeling I'm going to be doing a lot of the same thing with En' for the next week -- that's what I get for playing a horny guy on a quest to impregnate as many of the ladies as he can, I guess. X3
