wendy, DOMO, and me have been talking about running an alternate universe | Steven Universe | set during the gem wars rp cause we love gems and the lore behind them [the little we know at least]. How would you feel about joining a site like this?

Honesty time.
Since this is a lot, and not everyone really cares, here's what I think about running a forum and a little about me.

SPOILER: Click to show

If I plan to run/plan/be part of a forum, I wanna do things right. I don't like to do things half-buttcheeked. I've been reading through this thread, post by post, eating all that lovely advice. Being social with members, doing my best to include others and advertising is my thing. What I'm worried about the most is time. I might have the time for a bit, but then work gets hectic and I probably wont be able to rp in a while. I still log in daily cause it's like my morning and night ritual, before work and after.

I do my best to be polite with everyone, but sometimes I might come off as blunt cause for me honesty really is the best policy. I guess it's not so apparent online cause I have time to think what I'm writing, thus filtering and editing accordingly, but I really do appreciate when others are honest with me [even if they think it might hurt my feelings]. It's sweet, but I rather know about the food stuck in between my teeth than continue to look silly.

I also think communication plays a big role on all this. I mainly use skype, but I'm willing to use anything else to keep the lines open.

ok... sorry for teh wall of text. I'm just gonna stop now and go to bed. Let me know what you think.

Interested?

[wendy]

I'm pretty straight-forward, so I get that whole "honesty is by far the best policy," thing. I really don't mind it, so your bluntness wouldn't bother me much. Now, when it comes to time I'm free 24/7, especially now that's it's summer and school has been placed at halt. I have Skype and would gladly pm it to you and whoever else is interested. Seriously, I just want a successful su noncanon. I'll staff it, advertise for it, etc. Whatever must be done to bring this site to the peoples, trust me, I'll do it.

[DOMO]

I definitely love this idea and such. And tbh, I'd be down for staffing. After taking some time to look at the thread myself and taking in some of the advice, I think I could help out through staffing & advertising i love spamming ads and such everywhere. I am pretty relaxed about things and tend to get along with most I come across. I wouldn't mind installing skype on my phone (since my chromebook can't install it & my desktop is down) for communication and such. I'm honest as well, but I always try to put things nicely while still getting the point across. Sometimes, I kinda am just blunt though. But I'm pretty understanding as well, though I don't expect others to be. As far as time and availability, I'm available most of the times. I do work and in the fall school will pick up so I might not be on all day every day but I'll def be on often enough for everyone to be familiar. In other words, I am down for the cause. AU SU needs to happen.

[harusame!!]

yes plz?

but i have a question, would humans in general be disregarded since it's set during the gem wars? like would it mostly be about gems? and in the area of staffing, i think you guys would be fine.

I don't think they would, or should be disregarded seeing as they were the reason the gem wars were fought, right? It was all about protecting earth and them in the end. So, maybe like connie learning to fight, some humans join in to help with help from Gems. Others humans play some type of role in it too, like greg who was Rose's lover so he saw what happened. Its probably gem centered, but humans are there playing roles too.

hm interesting, but one more thing, would it then take place in the past? like i mean, would the earth be in like a 80's period timeline or something?

[wendy]

yes 80s time seeing as thatswhen the war took place most likely

[Mad Madisson]

We've all been discussing both staffing and plot ideas for the forum and it's been going great. I love that we decided on playing on an 80's Earth. We're currently discussing staff roles and how fusion will work in the forum.

This is pretty complicated because it's two characters or more combining in to a single entity. How to convert that in to a post to post role play with two players or more without making it too complicated is proving to be a challenge. We're trying to go with simple. The simpler the better. If anyone has any ideas on how to go on about it, please don't hesitate to comment on it.

Just tossing an idea for fusion.
Perhaps you can roll the dice as to whom role-plays the fusion.
That's all I have and you guys would probably come down to a way better solution.

Thanks so much for your suggestion nexus! Even though we've decided to use what @murdoc2 suggested, we very much appreciate the contribution. <3

I actually used a dice system in another forum. It works well when members behaved and used it correctly. Of course, everything is great when members behave. XD

I was lucky enough to have a found people that are super pumped and helping me out with this. Thanks so much guys. <3

Thanks to you all, RISING TIDES★CRASHING SKIES is on it's way.
