A Constructive Arx Thread

Will miss.

@Smile I really had a lot of fun GMing with you!

Things I did not quite expect and found amusing, that a random black-haired woman with pinned up braids and blue eyes would get so many people interested in killing her! Oh, the plans I had for her after naming her when I thought she’d get away with things.

It was fun. It was emotional. It was powerful.

PS: Evalina might just have family. They might have feelings. We’ll see.

@Smile Was fun! Bloody elves.

Someone just took a character off the roster that mine had a same sex, committed romantic relationship with. I do not want this person to feel like they have to at all continue that, or even speak of it, or have the character be the same orientation as previous.

How do I phrase this so that I don’t sound like an awkward creeper? I don’t want to make things weird and uncomfortable in my attempt not to be weird and uncomfortable.

I often point this out to new players:

https://play.arxgame.org/topics/Relationship Continuity/

They may have journals that relationship, or not. It’s always been a toss-up for me whether to reach out or just see if the previous player made mention enough that the new one reached out to me. Either way, I usually end up saying something like, hey, our characters had this history, but there’s no obligation or expectation to continue that. It’s maybe hard not to feel a bit awkward but I try to politely mention it most times.

I try to be very much like @Tori, I just say 'Hey I’m just reaching out to let you know that our chars have a history. If there aren’t any journals - I’m happy to talk about it. Please know that I’m super okay if you don’t want to continue this, if you want to alter it, or if you want to talk about it."

I also send it in an @mail, so they can see it and not feel caught ‘in the moment’ or lose it in spam of reading things.

Solstice

Hey, just chiming in to say thanks to you lovely Artshall GMs. That spurred me to RP more in the last 24 hours than I have in the last two months.

I know those are a headache to run smoothly, but that one went off like clockwork - appreciated the strict time windows on various resolution phases, and most importantly, it gave me a ton of RP fodder to work with.

So, cheers.

@Solstice Agreed. I had so much fun, despite a minor eeek internally when I first saw the size of the scene. But I had so much fun both with my buddies and others, and honestly having had Herja, Panic, and Aindre ST for me before (just not all of them together like that) I knew it was gonna be a treat but it exceeded all expectations.

This is for @junipersky and @tsar over the events of Artshall.

dvoraen

@junipersky I… was not aware of this. It does not change the fact that you are liked and appreciated and that we’re hungry for every kitten picture you post.
