To some extent I do understand what Voltaire is saying.
When we started this RP we had lots of discussions, as is the case with Councils, especially ones of powers that would normally be opposed. However it does seem to have been the trend recently for more battles and less talking, which is not the direction I think we should head in. Thus we had this thread, but it does seem people want to rush the discussion along, rather than discuss things.
Take the discussion between Mircea and Milosh, I don’t know about Gree but I quite enjoyed it, Thinking up alternate battle plans, logical arguments, reasoning etc. We don’t have to agree and our characters can happily sit there and discuss as they would do in real life. It was similar to what I was trying to do with the Council , however there seems to be a consensus that people what to rush that section and jump straight into the fighting, which in itself can get monotonous.
I would suggest the everyone, including the older members, look at some of the older threads where we had some great discussions. I’m not saying there should not be any battles but there should be a mixture, or we risk turning it boring and then the TVC will die.
In regards to arrogance . arguing. Do so if you character warrants it, Carsteins it is their traits, Lesa has just found out about her husband so is pissed. However don’t do it all the time. You don’t have to write an essay every time either if you can’t think what to write. Not everyone has a grandiose speech in real life, and if your character has just a few words to say, then so be it, as long as you mix it up now and again with longer posts.
The final thing I would say, we have a lot of new characters. I really recommend you think of their long term goals and plots. This role-play is as much about their personal growth as it is about the whole story. Take Simon for example. He started as commanding his own kingdom in the border princes and has risen to Count of Sylvania and has even higher long term plans. I have already planned out what will happen to Milosh and Lesa in the end. You will find with this long term goal in mind it is easier to write for them, as you know what you are leading up to. The only thing is that any plots have to be ok’d with me via PM first, to make sure they don’t conflict with the main plot, or any side / character plots you may not be aware of.
If I can help anyone post more etc, then feel free to send me a PM.
