Another GW? Are you insane? ... Wait, never mind. =D But I am quite a bit more excited about this than I should be. If I do take part in whatever-this-ends-up-being, it'll just be with one character. >.>; *does not want to phail* But ... yeah, no ideas for plot or any such thing. Sorry. ^_^' .... A non-roleplay event? D= I like roleplaying. But the vox populi demands to see Fred again D: And as for the dead people and communicating, do you think Death will sit this one out? x3 When there's a will, there's a way. ... Roleplaying one character. She'll still have her backup cast. xD I don't think I could write posts of more than half a hundred words if I didn't have zombie humour to fall back on. |

Does the fact I'm not *officially* part of a guild anymore mean I'm exempt from participating? >_>

If you want to join you're also free too even if you're not in a guild. However if you want that sort of freedom of association the Mercs could be a guild for you to look into. Up to you. |

Those who don't learn from GWII are doomed to repeat it. =D The overplanning of it was painful, and we really don't need to plan anything out this early. Spontaneity makes things more interesting, anyway, and will flow more to what the participants actually want to do. Really, the main purpose that I could see this thread having is a reminder that we're going to start soon, so now is the time to sign up for guilds or maybe ponder your character, not plot everything to death.

Nah, it's mostly my laziness stopping me from signing up XD I'll probably sign up at some point before this starts, though ^_^ |

Here here! Nothing beyond the triggering event I say. Heck, don't even need to choose alliances. That can unfold on it's own. As for planned character returns... I'd kinda like to be surprised by who's bringing back who. We have a lot of back story now that we can dig into. A triggering event to get us on track then every being of some level of intelligence for him, her, or itself I say! I have some ideas for what I'd like to bring, but I don't feel the need to plan what direction it's going to go. Also, can we can a short summary of the 'Underdeep'. I kinda missed that part of GWII T_T |

Also, can we can a short summary of the 'Underdeep'. I kinda missed that part of GWII T_T The Underdeep wasn't mentioned in GW2 (except maybe in passing, if so it was so briefly that I don't remember). If you don't know what it is, or want more info, there are stories I can link. As for overplanning… After awhile it was mentioned that maybe we underplanned. (Didn't know what should happen, if I remember correctly). Even so, we strayed from what was mentioned before, so most planning was rendered null. I think we should do some planning as to the starting event, and maybe some stuff that's not too reliant on the plot unfolding a certain way. The suggestion I made earlier doesn't need specific things to happen, it's more of a 'bad guys' plan,' and we all know how often bad guys need to change their plans. Although it would need a bunch of NPCs, even if most are only mentioned as nameless background ones… Still, it's not like we need to be sure that the Ninja get the gem instead of the Pirates. If we want, we can start 'in medias res' and work things out two strips later. (Cookies if you get the reference.) |

Also, can we can a short summary of the 'Underdeep'. I kinda missed that part of GWII T_T The Underdeep had less to do with GWII and more to do with NTWF Stories, so that may explain why you couldn't find it xD Basically, the Underdeep is a place where your thoughts and fears become real and try to kill you. Nobody wants to go down there because getting killed by your worst nightmare sucks. I think it was Kiddo who came up with the concept. I originally made the Cthulhu idea a bit of a joke because if we really did follow through with Lovecraft's themes, everybody would end up either dead, gibbering, or catatonic. On the other hand, this is the NTWF, so we'll probably figure out some way to...do something or other xD |

That could be cool [glow=red,2,300]Note to self: if we go through with the Underdeep idea, throw Keng in first. As for overplanning or underplanning - I agree, things change. You get into an RP and not everything will go according to plan, especially if people are being true to their characters. Lulu, I'd rather the people who participate were part of a guild, otherwise it's just a regular RP. Omni, the major guilds who push the plot, that stuff is determined by how active everyone is. The mercs in the last GW were essentially Jernath (PFA's time was split between him and PFA) and Cyborg (who controlled a heckuvalot of characters, but only Cyborg pushed the plot any.) Also, a question - do we want to put a cap on the number of PCs and named (important) NPCs that people can control? or would that be too restricting? [/glow] |

I'm in. Might have a little trouble keeping up, bt I'm in. I like Amneiger's first three choices, espcailly number one. Who says it has to be a literal war? I think that plot'd allow for a metaphorical war which'd be interesting. Although I agree, maybe we should just agree on a general plot, trigger, and from there it's an all out, non-planned roleplay? Though a non-literal war would be love.

I have to pick a fear... ... ... *debates between silly illogical fear, KICK *squeak* AWESOME fear, or a strange twisted combination of the two... and what exactly any of those fears might be* |

[/glow] I agree, only guild members should be able to join. Otherwise, yes it would just be a normal RP. I think for two forumers, the mercs did pretty darn good! And I think the limit should be four PCs. |

Anyway, I'll keep track of this thread, but I'm not sure if I'll join in or not. It'll depend on what the general trend of plot is, as well as the people. |

I think the limit should be atleast three, because that was the limit last year. Personally I would like four. |
