[QUOTE="Blayde_0107986025, post: 2565305"] [b]I finally listened to the annoying little birdy...[/b] Okay. Now... correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea of this new room is high fantasy - meaning that we as players want something that is more freeform thereby saying that we want a setting which allows for the most diverse range of characters yet is simple to explain. From recollection (can't be bothered finding the quote) Something that can be easily explained in a paragraph. With this in mind - we've just ruled out FR. Not everyone knows it or has enough spare time to do so. And you cannot explain the wealth of history that in inherent in a place like that in a paragraph. And we want something that is easy to explain as we want the highest continuation of play and least room disruption by newbies - and as we've all been newbies at some stage - something which encourages diversity and encourages creativity with the rules/limitations clearly defined and quick to grasp. FR, simply because of its absolute historical wealth is therefore unsuitable. This is not a situation we can look at selfishly - but one in which we have to seek to find the best option all around. And it is never going to be that everyone is happy. But we have to consider the up-and-coming players not just the tried-and-true in the creation of this room. Thereby... anything with multitudous info/history (that can not be very simply explained) is going to be out of the question. I personally favour a homebrew world which incorporates each person's wants (within reason) and is flexible enough to be adapted to the changing clientele (hee hee - Patrons!). We're not all going to be around on this site forever - for verious reasons. So we need to look at things in a highly practical manner. Something which allows all of us the greatest freedom and enjoyment of the game. (Hey... I haven't rambled too badly). So yea... opinion stated. I want us to search for a middle ground which does not just look at our "wants" here and now. This requires COMPROMISE. If we are al prepared to do this and search for something which accomodates all we need this could be increadible. :cheer: :dancin: :clap: :ayyyy!: :cloud9: :teach: Discussion/lecture over... go party hard! :pint: And I shall recede.
