Zero Divide (OOC Discussion)

[James Heard]

Just to clarify: I know Mira's not Alan's daughter.

Facade doesn't.

Facade knows the cartel is after someone named Mira, whom she's never met. Then Alan told her just now that the Cartel is after his daughter...without naming her.

So she's assuming Mira is his daughter.

Don't worry, I pretty much had what you were onto figured out.

 

[Shayuri]

And now a haiku.

Urge to kill...rising...
Hopefully I'm just grumpy.
Late night frustration.

 

[Victim]

Kill who?

 

[Hammerhead]

Let's not be picky.

 

[Shalimar]

I'm a fan of spreading things out, no need to be stingy. Spread the love, spread the death, its all the same thing, right?

 

[Shayuri]

Heee

A little sleep can make a lot of difference.

I dunno if I'm the only one, but I'm wrestling with the game. I love the sense of mystery and the process of discovery. But I'm having a lot of trouble with the specifics of how the game's worked so far, particularly between the PC's. And I'm not criticizing anyone's RP here. The fact is that none of us have a really compelling personal reason to trust or cooperate, and we're just playing that accurately.

And I feel like the result is undermining the joy of the premise, at least for me. We spend most of our time trying to convince each other of what to do...generally unsuccessfully. Most of the game's taken place with us split apart, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I dunno. For me, that robs me of one of the reasons to play.

Anyone else feel this way?

 

[Shalimar]

I very much agree with that assessment, and I also don't forsee us as getting more persuasive with each other as we move forward. For instance right now, Haven would only consider going with Ashana if absolutely everyone else did, even then he would have a major issue with it and would be trying to convince them not to do it. Ultimately it seems like we are in for a pointless debate about every little thing until eventualy Vanifae gets fed up and just moves the story along to the next point we have to decide stuff and then we do it again.

 

[Victim]

And if people can't agree, then the easiest way to do something to do it by one's self. Thus further splitting the group.

 

[Vanifae]

I am working to get the group together, its one of the reasons I introduced Ashana.

 

[Shayuri]

I know. I didn't mean to make it sound like it was your fault either, Vanifae.

I was kind of hoping we might escape the shackles of RP in here to work out a solution that we can all be happy with, IC. Assuming, of course, that we're in agreement that there is a problem in the first place.
