You join in the fun.
The story so far is that a group of people were in the Chorrol tavern in town, and our characters met there. Kogobal(Jack's character) is an Altmer scholar looking to follow up on the rumors on a god or gods showing up in Skyrim, so he seeks to go there. Alvara, a female Dunmer healer, also seeks to go there to put her abilities to good use and also follow Kobogal on his journey.
Meanwhile, in the tavern, Vaultren(my character) is assaulted by an evil Thalmor assassin responsible for many deaths of innocent people. Vaultren is a wanted man by the Thalmor and former agent of the Penulus Oculatus. He defends himself and kills the woman and leaves the tavern. Kogobal, Celdryn(A crazy Breton bard) and Alvara continue their path and come across Vaultren and go onto Skyrim, though their relationships is shaky. In the Jerall Mountains, they rest in a cave the former Imperial tribune came across.
So...I guess people stopped posting in the cave. Maybe you can meet us there or write up about your character being in the cave when we arrive, as we are currently exploring it. Though I warn you, everyone abandoned the thread.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

I'm very very very very very inclined to start RPing again in Chorrol. I thought about joining the OfFor to RP there, because seriously. There are tons of fun RPers out there and they're reliable. To post. To keep their thing alive. But I keep going back to Chorrol because the people here are nice and laidback. The rules here are reasonable, the Mods more so. None of that tight leash when telling something results in you getting flamed or worse. So how about it guys? Will we try again?

I agree. Someone controlling the flow and actually direct us to our goal, even while giving out twists and turns to sweeten the plot, would be a welcome change indeed from all the usual lets band together boys! situations. Take a look at my dead RP Shards of a Broken Empire. I exerted a little control over there, not so much that I railroad the RPers but just nudge them softly. Played with several ideas there too. Without a doubt, my greatest RP session yet.
So yes. I agree that we need GM to shepherd the plot.
I have another idea too.
Opposite teams. As in the antagonists played by RPers. In my opinion, that adds much much more drama and competitive fun to the whole thing, and players would more inclined to stay and RP, scheming on how to overthrow the hero team, rather than just go with the flow.
I don't know how this would mesh with the GM thing though. What are your thoughts, Colonel?

I'll admit that I've never done anything like that before, but if there's a GM already providing antagonistic forces then a designated enemy group who appear from day one may not quite work. I'm not certain, though.

Think about it this way. The antagonists are the 'enemy bosses'. Some of their decisions could and would alter and affect the storyline in the whole; but ultimately, they answer to the GM, and the GM would decide if he'll allow it to happen. Sure, he could generate the general baddies, but the Antagonists are something else entirely..
But if that doesn't work out in your logic, then let's stick with the GM-only scenario. Its always better to try the old and tested rather than the new and unknown anyway.
Assuming of course we won't be the only ones who'll RP.

Acadian! This is... quite the honor! To have an esteemed writer such as yourself join us... a tremendous honor, if I repeat myself again!
RPing, in my opinion, is quite easy. You'd get the hang of it soon enough. Its exciting and utterly fun. Like writing, its main goal is to enjoy those two!

Joys of the RPs, friend. Those are the joys of the RP!
EDIT: We posted at the same time, Colonel! Didn't see it until now really!
