Shards of a Broken Empire, Planning Thread Options

[jack cloudy]

Welp, five days have passed. (or is this the fifth day? change of month is always confusing)
Anyway, I think it is Saqin's turn now.

[The Solo Rollo]

*Sigh* I guess its my turn tomorrow, if anyone else is there? (this is grif11 with a new account) If we've given up again, I probably wont join another roleplay. This is probably the shortest we've got, not even outside the Imperial city, for Azura's sake!

[The Solo Rollo]

I'm guessing the roleplay is slow because of everyone catching Skyrimitis...

[Lord Revan]

That and football playoffs compacted with two project deadlines last week. Fortunately, no more football and no more deadlines til next year.

[jack cloudy]

No skyrim for me. Anyway, it's Caboose's turn now, right?

[The Solo Rollo]

Yeah, I'll get in contact with him, he's been away too long!

[TheTrueCaboose]

I'm back and sorry about the long hiatus (however you spell it). I'll be making my next post tommorow. I just have had too much going on and haven't gotten round to comming on the forums. Very busy. Yeah and sorry about missing my last post as well. I really felt bad about it but there was nothing I could do .

[TheTrueCaboose]

I'm having trouble understanding were this is going so I havn't made my post yet. If someone could help me I would be greatful. I've read it again and again but I don't really understand what is happening around my character or were everyone is going. Probably though I'm just trying to read it too late at night (or morning ) and I'm sorry if this sounds a bit stupid to ask.

[jack cloudy]

Well to put it simply. After getting our briefing from Martin and the other guy, we left the palace (picking up our gear at the entrance) and have now gone to the docks where we are supposed to board a ship headed for Mournhold.

As for anything else. Not much happened other than some arguing over whether or not Martin is a good Emperor and some slight racial conflict.

[TheTrueCaboose]

Ok thanks . I'll get onto writing my post now.

[TheTrueCaboose]

If there are any continuity errors just tell me and I'll fix them . I also hope its okay that I threw in a random plot device. Hopefully it will make things a bit more intresting but I don't know if that is okay with everyone.

[jack cloudy]

Just in case.

AHRENIL, it's your turn.

[TheTrueCaboose]

This roleplay needs to speed up a bit more to make it intresting. It's just the waits are far too long. I would have suggested skype for contacting people but giving out these things on the internet is always a bit shady. If anyone has any solutions that they think would work we should discuss them. Hopefully thats okay with you guys and we can get this roleplay going .

[jack cloudy]

And another long wait. If nothing's up by sunday, I think I'll post again.

As for Skype, I don't have it and even if I did have it, you bet I would completely forget about its existence. But why not use pm? I've got mine set up to send an email whenever I receive a pm.

[The Solo Rollo]

I think the problem is that this forum is too small and fairly inactive. We need to get more people to register, specifically roleplayers.

[TheTrueCaboose]

That would be a good idea. If we get more people to register that we know are roleplayers it would speed up a lot more. I guess pm's would be okay I just hope people check their E-mail. If anyone knows anybody that we could poach from other forums to join the roleplay we could really get things going. It might also be help if we lowered the maximum post time to 2 or 3 days to make people pay more attention. That would make things more relevant.

[Dantrag]

Instead of skype/email, why not use the chorrol chat room? We used to use it for RPs from time to time back in the day. PMs are always good too, if you're planning things b/w only two characters.

Maybe once a week we could all be on, figure some stuff out, and then if anyone misses the meeting we can post a summary of the details or a transcript of the chat in the planning thread.

[jack cloudy]

Is it the one below the news section? I've never been able to get on there and when I tried now, it led me to a no longer existing site. (waiting4oblivion actually)

[The Solo Rollo]

Ive got the same problem with the chatroom.

Also, I think we should just get rid of the line. Hardly anybody is active so it shouldnt make us totally unorganised... hopefully.

[TheTrueCaboose]

Yeah chat room doesn't work for me either. I agree with Solo Rolo and that we should get rid of the line or at least until more people start posting more frequently.
