Yes!!! This thread's back! I've been dying to post a picture forever but didn't want to necro the thread. Now that's alive again, time to unmask the mysterious creature behind Demagul. The angle makes me looks so short, but it's still one of my favorite pics! But for the record, I'm actually quite tall (6'1")

From the start I was planning on staying out of this discussion, but I feel like Garris brings up a good point that I want to discuss.

Point: "nobody tells me how you all roll"
Riposte: We've told you hundreds, if not thousands of times. Many of us, personally. From the very -moment- you stepped into this game, we've taken the time to gently walk you through what we're doing. Don't use that excuse with me to justify why you keep asking. You've been told. You either like it or you don't, or you're trying to manipulate us somehow, which just makes me even angrier. Perhaps it's ok to just admit that you don't WANT to play the way we do.

Kaerli, whenever we try to explain how things work, you just demand to know why things are the way they are and then argue any reasoning that you don't agree with, or as you told me, you're "asking me to defend my point". There's no defense to make except for the fact that this is what the majority of PS wants from the game and it's really annoying for a single player to run around trying to morph PS into their own personal interests. You can attempt to dissect other people's ideas and wishes as much as you want for all those technical, irrelevant details, but no matter what you find chances are you won't be changing anything. In fact you'll probably just cause people to avoid talking to you.

Yes. I'm really glad that this thread got cleaned up. Things were getting ugly and 

Thank you, Lilura!

With that said...

One of my favorite things about PS is how reachable the GMs are when you need something, be it help setting up an event, some extra things to make an RP that much more immersive, or just help. We have so many ways to get that help when we need it, unlike some games where the people in charge just sit around and act all stoic and "too good for us lowly players". I guess events are just a matter of taste. Some people like GM events, others don't, and that's perfectly okay. I, personally, find them really fun, as it adds cool new IC experiences for my character(s).

Ooo that's happening again? I was only a little newbie last time! I can't wait!
Demagul joins Anysu in the happy dance

This thread makes me even more excited (if that's even possible) about rejoining PS in a week or two. I can't wait to try out all of this new stuff!

Omg this is incredible! Great job so far and I can't wait to see what's to come  if you ever need any help with it this fall or winter I'd be happy to help you get some lore together or something

There,s a level of evul somewhere between petty crime and maniacal necromancers likewise missing from rp, and that is political corruption and conspiracy, or corruption in other institutional powers. I guess the quests give a hint of such flavor in the world, but since PCs can not rise to any such level of authority, there are really no means for players to run such plots. I tried to do something in this vein through a forum rp, but it petered out :/
I think it'd be cool to pull off. Maybe I've been watching too much x-files.

Totally agree! It would be so cool to see all the shades of grey between a total angel character and the most wicked creature you can think of. The diversity of the characters is one of the driving forces in making PS interesting to RPers, so some things in place to encourage it (guilds like this, for example) could make a big difference
