Heya :) Adam a couple of people have told me that you have been complaining about the demon venue in the OOC, so I wanted to find out what's bothering you etc... and no you're not in trouble :)
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:15:19 PM)
i'm not complaining about the venue at all. i just get bored
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:15:41 PM)
i see people IC and i don't like crashing scenes unless i'm invited
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:16:02 PM)
Cool :) Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not here to tell you off, I'm purely here to find a solution.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:16:35 PM)
i'm not the kind of guy that tries to shoehorn myself into a scene just for the scene's sake
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:17:15 PM)
I understand but I have to warn you that online rp is very different from table top rp in a couple of key ways.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:17:46 PM)
oh, i know. i've been doing it for years
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:17:48 PM)
I've seen players that have felt that way before, that they don't want to go into scene unless invited and as a result they tend to isolate themselves from the great venue, even though it is unintentionally done, it tends to be the upshot.
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:19:02 PM)
The basic rule of thumb is that if players don't want to be joined they make a locked room.
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:19:20 PM)
If there is an open room with demon/mortal players in it, it usually means they -want- people to come in.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:20:07 PM)
i'm not trying to isolate myself. but when the character wouldn't have any reason to be there, then... well...
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:21:58 PM)
There's always a reason you can find to be in scene. Meeting a contact/ally, car breaking down etc Sometimes you have to push a little at the creative edges to find reasons to get IC. But there are lots of important plot hooks out there at the moment, and it would be good to see Adam more involved in them. I do, however, want you to know that you are welcome in these scenes, you don't have to wait for someone to invite you, people will want you to be there, want to know your character etc.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:23:45 PM)
it's really hard to get involved in plot with my work schedule
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:24:23 PM)
You'd be suprised :) There is a lot of info in pc hands at the moment that you can discover, but to do that you have to go ic, get to know them, earn their trust etc.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:25:33 PM)
oh i know. believe me. i know.
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:27:12 PM)
Just give it a shot :) Next time you see demons in an open room get in there and try and approach them, I think you'll be pleasantly suprised by them wanting to play with you etc. And please if you have any issues/problems with the game/venue/getting Adam involved talk to me or Legion about it, it's what we are here for.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:27:46 PM)
i don't have any problems with the game or the venue at all
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:28:19 PM)
Just having difficulties getting involved. Will you give it a shot to just go ic in open rooms and try to meet up with people?
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:29:31 PM)
i can try. i'm just saying that i prefer to let things happen on their own instead of forcing interaction
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:30:32 PM)
I can appreciate that. But you have tried doing that since sanctioning and you're finding that process a little boring, I'm just suggesting giving it a little push for a week or two to try and build those initial relationships/contacts and then step back adn let things progress naturally.
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:32:11 PM)
i'll try. that's all i can do
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:33:13 PM)
Awesome :) And again, if you're having problems accessing the game/using the forums/getting involved please feel free to grab legion or I on chat or by fpm, okay?
Adam Johnson (Jun 4, 2011 11:33:58 PM)
i have no problems with the forums. i just don't bluebook *shrug* it's too much like work and not enough like fun for me
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:34:45 PM)
You don't have to bluebook or put in xp requests or anything like that. All of that is totally voluntary on players behalf.

Welcome welcome. I just saw we had afew people about and so thought I would take the opportunity to say a big thankyou to everyone who has helped make the venue s successful over the last few months, and to tell you a few things face to face that you might find interesting

It really feels we have been going from strength to strength, though getting bigger has meant that some elements of the game needed some revision, support to keep the game running smoothly

So, very soon it looks almost assured we are taking on a new narrator, Ogre. His game knowledge is rock solid and is an old face for Demon. He's very enthusiastic about getting scenes going and adding more to the setting in way of the Shadowlands, so expect some realmy fun happening there

Welcome Sergei, Isabella... legion is doing an impromptu ooc meeting/Q&A for demon.
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:48:31 PM)
We have added templates for thralls. In an online setting, npc thralls are usually just faith banks, as we have PC thalls for interaction, however, it has come up that sometimes thralls should be given tasks and add to the general network of a Demons intelligence/bodyguard team, whatever
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:49:58 PM)
However, as we only allow one PC per player, we have gone with a template model so that the one char per player aspect does not become blurred with playing actions of an NPC. This should clear the confusion up as well as making for more 3 dimentional char bg's for players :)
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:50:53 PM)
Oh, and hot on the press, Ogre informs me via my celestial name lol, that Shadowlands sl's will be for all houses, never just Slayers, so, should be fun
Sergei Alenikov (Jun 4, 2011 11:51:49 PM)
How do other, houses make it into the shadowlands?
Isabella Perez (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:05 PM)
A slayer with Realms 5 can take people with them...
Sergei Alenikov (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:15 PM)
Anyone have Realms 5?
Isabella Perez (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:20 PM)
but Wraiths and ghosts can interact with the real world without the help of slayers
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:36 PM)
Added to that, there can be devices that may come with the SL, NPC's, who knows
Nadeen Fisher (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:46 PM)
Hah. I thought we could have two PCs. Not that I planned on making another.
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:52:53 PM)
stay tuned to fiond out
Takahashi Midori (Jun 4, 2011 11:53:14 PM)
I almost read that as fondue.
Dusk (Jun 4, 2011 11:53:30 PM)
Sorry Nadeen :) Demon has a 1pc per player policy in place. It solves the crossover/conflict of interests headache.
Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:53:34 PM)
yeah, we wound it back as when I came on board we had two st's and only one running sl's. so I was looking at running 2 scenes a week for weach player

Legion (Jun 4, 2011 11:54:34 PM)
but in the future, we may revise that posiiton. As a team, we always try to serve the venue as best we can, and that means being flexible as much as we can in view of rules
