I'm still on the fence about joining this one. I've participated in a few other roleplays since GWII and I have to be honest with myself about my bad habits. ^^;;
As a hardcore PC gamer, more often than not I start treating RPs like games with a specific (and ultimately satisfying) win condition, with everything else being a Game Over of sorts. No matter how hard I try, I just can't kick the habit, nor can I bring myself to type up a death/departure sequence should I choose to leave the RP early. xD;
So until i'm confident that I can step in and roleplay a character all the way to his or her rightful end, i'm gonna sit this one out.

...Well, I might have a few ideas >_> (1.) An important political figure dies and their properties are up for grabs. Any guild that satisfies the requirements in the will gets everything. (2.) A mysterious, possibily heavily cursed tomb that emanates strange energies is found in the middle of a deserted part of the NTWF. (3.) The moon crashes into the planet for unexplained reasons. The guilds deal with the consequences, like having this much advanced technology this close to any not-very-nice people, the tides acting up, and lawsuits concerning damages. (4.) Strange lights and odd creatures have been sighted around the NTWF. The sightings seem to be most frequent in the areas surrounding the entrances to the Underdeep. Why would the things in the Underdeep be coming to the surface? (5.) Great Cthulhu rises, heralding the return of the Old Ones and turning the NTWF into a land of chaos and madness. Everybody begins carrying around Elder Signs to keep from having their brains eaten by the cosmic horrors. These were some ideas thrown out earlier for a plot. I like idieas 1 and 3, but we could possibly come up with another idea, right?

I like idieas 1 and 3, but we could possibly come up with another idea, right? Honestly, I really don't think we need any more plotlines. We've already got at least one major story that will carry over from GW2, another two from Redemption, plus a lot of people will definitely be coming in with their own minor sub-plots. However, if we went with 3, I WOULD find a way to turn it into one enormous Majora's Mask parody. This is not a threat, it's a promise.

Normally I'd just edit instead of double-posting, but...yeah, I'd rather this get seen right away. So, I've got two hours before I need to leave for the final strike of my stagecraft class. (Yay.) Since we're just stalling for time now, I'm going to be typing up the opening GWIII intro post.
In other words, expect GWIII to begin in under two hours.
If anyone has any reasons NOT to do this, speak now or forever hold your peace.

If i'm not mistaken, this'll be the second time that a GW plot is started by the active leader of the Spacefleet guild. Neato. :3 If it does start, it may give me some more time to think about what kind of character to make (if I don't use the Commander again) while I wait for the posting to die down. One of the reasons for backing out of the last GW was that I simply couldn't keep up. xD

But it'd be a pleasure to have you back, even so.

Well, Hunty is going to speak thusly-
*mob'd*
...that this is freakin' awesome and I love this guy-
*mob'd again, 'cept for different reasons*
-eeexcept I would just like to motion that before you post on the GW, be sure that you're a member of a guild (as in, listed there or at the very least posted on their thread asking to get signed up) and have a profile on the persona thread in the subboard, so that we'll know who we're dealing with. Owie.
Oh, and I was thinking of making a general Guild Wars info thread in the subboard, to gather all the past summaries and general guidelines and rules and important plot points and how to RP and pretty much all those things that are currently scattered across threads. Unless anyone can give me a reason why it's not necessary?

*grins and eagerly clutches the mouse, readying fingers on the keyboard*
*realises her own subplot requires loads of NPCs*
...ah. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. KOVARAN MOKRA, THE SWORD THAT CLEAVES EVIL! *brick'd* --will be there.

Well, i'm definitely not going to be ready for at least several days, so go nuts. ^_^ Heck, I might even choose to drop in as a completely different character.
