Oh my god we are so dead.... The posting order is a little hazy in my mind right now. If its my turn to post someone plz tell. And If that isnt the reason we need a another mod.

Author: Wes

I think itd be neat to have them graduate (timeskip perhaps?) and then have the active players start up a small plot ship with which they could explore the universe and such.

I've caught up on the IC posts. Let's roll.

Jake, if you seriously need a break from GMing, let me know. I know you have other plots to participate in.

Author: Doshii Jun

Don't need a break yet. I just inserted myself a little, so we'll see how things start. I'll throw a dart your way when I want out.

That was very informative, Kim. I didn't know that the Seraphs came before the Nekos. Thank you.

Not a problem. You learn wierd things from game play and old graded primer courses. =)

Author: Doshii Jun

My apologies for not posting faster; had to be fitted for a tux and do other chores. Posting soon.

Author: Michael Brazille

Alright can someone tell me the posting order? *ish a little confused about it* Everything seems to be a mesh of posts with no order..

Author: Wes

I don't think there's any set order.

Author: Tylium

Yup wes is right. Posting is currently done without any set order.

Author: Doshii Jun

Sorry for the delay here.

Author: Tylium

No problem doshii. Just tell if you want to have PM's when somebody posts anything that involves your character having to interact with him or her.

Author: Doshii Jun

*shakes head* Bleh. No, it's not that -- I just forget to wander by, as I'm not used to coming here. I see when someone posts, then I brush it off and go to other forums. It's laziness on my part, and it has no excuse.

Author: Tylium

Ah in that case....

"GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES. WE GOT WORK TO DO!"

Author: Yangfan

If you want to post, post. No need to wait for someone else, who might be waiting on you.

The enemy NPCs will act every time I get bored. (You'll get another cut scene.) So act quickly.

Author: Tylium

Hmm guess its time for a timeskip, What you say yan? Opperation approved?

Author: Doshii Jun

I can start that new thread and such today.

Author: Yangfan

I have no objections to that either.

Author: Zakalwe

Author: Zakalwe

Well, to begin with a tent on the Isle of Wight.

And then a Caravan.

And then Spain.

Yah no, those barbaric Spaniards.

I've read through the thread and I really like what you're doing with the plot. As normal I am shown up

Author: Tylium

Okay, back from partying that I finished the second exam FLAWLESSLY i might add.

Anyway, posting will resume on a regular basis.

Author: Tylium


Author: Yangfan

I'll try to pick up the slack if Jake doesn't post more in the next few days.

Author: Doshii Jun

I will post tonight. My apologies folks.

Author: Doshii Jun


Author: Yangfan

Take your time on the posting, guys. I'll just let my NPC wander closer and closer to his target.

Author: Flynt Ferrix

I would go ahead and post...but I dont want to steal the spotlight, and i just posted before you did.

Author: Yangfan

*sigh* I'll go poke Jake again. -_-

Thank you for at least checking in, Flynt. It's kind of hard to keep a plot going when the main GM has lost interest.

Author: Doshii Jun

Thomas is supposed to make a decision about this. I don't want to have to.

Author: Flynt Ferrix

Hey, im interested again, cant keep me away even if you beat me with a stick.

Try it...I dare you!

Besides, its one of the only things I have to do between school and work at 3am.

It's not so much that they are looking for proof of character approval, rather they want o be able to click a link and read about your character instead of having to search for it.

Hey zakalwe I know you really want to get all the stuff you have written in here but could you like transfer barracks day 3 over here so we can atleast have something to do while you transfer everything else??
 
Re: Temporary OOC:

Just sticking my nose in here, wondering about the status of your plot, who you still had, etc...

I've spoken to Seki, and she unfortunately lacks time for anything SA related at the moment.
 
Re: Temporary OOC:

Me and Tyler have elected to move on, at least until there is more interest shown.
 
Re: Temporary OOC:

I know that much at least, but am poking in to see how many are displaced, etc. I don't want anyone being left out of RP.
 
Re: Temporary OOC:

Aendri, and whoever else that may be interested. Please message either myself or Zakalwe on YIM. We have been discussing a new plot idea for Elysia.
 
Please read the entire post before voting in the above poll, as it contains information that may influence your decision.

Greetings all,

Yesterday, @Wes mentioned something in Chat.



This is that thread and my thoughts about why I should (or should not) become the "custodian" for the site's third-oldest faction after Nepleslia and Yamatai. Anyhoo. I - apart from @Syaoran, to the best of my knowledge - am the last remaining member of the IRC room #theelysians currently active on Star Army, given that @Aendri, @Kyle, and @Semjax have not logged on since June 13th, 2016, September 8th, 2016, and November 26th, 2016, respectively; this, combined with the most recent status messages of the first and second suggests to me that the three of them have no intention of ever returning to the site due to several IC and OOC events that occurred during the previous year.

These departures, regardless of their effects elsewhere, have unfortunately completely stripped the Elysians of any management or activity whatsoever, due to the fact that @Aendri was their Faction Manager while @Semjax was their Co-Faction Manager and the Game Master for their single plot, the YSS Anoiktos. More importantly, however, is that the absence of @Aendri has also caused a great deal of confusion to emerge over what the Elysian's identity actually "is," based on the repeated utilization of Elysian forces by @Zack in 188604 and the emergence of Elysian characters in the YSS Kaiyō plotship.

Although I cannot stress enough that I am not criticizing the Game Masters and players responsible for the aforementioned plots and player characters, these events are what have led me to believe that someone with a deeper understanding of the Elysians - someone who participated in the YSS Anoiktos and had their character reviewed and approved by @Aendri - is needed to ensure that pre-existing Elysian canon is not unraveled any further by becoming the Elysian's Faction Manager.

I, FrostJaeger, would like to humbly petition that I may become that Faction Manager.

There are, of course, several reasons behind this decision of mine to request that I be granted the rights and responsibilities that come with being a Faction Manager - and there are also several reasons, as I mentioned in the first Great Wall of Text, as to why I should not be granted my request.

To start, the following is in favor of me becoming the Elysian's Faction Manager:
  • As far as I am aware, neither @Syaoran or @Acewing13 have expressed any interest whatsoever in becoming the Elysian Faction Manager (and if I'm wrong, please correct me!); furthermore, if memory serves, the former is currently working on re-establishing the Abwehran Star Empire while the latter is working on the Neolath Regency, Robertin Empire, Anankti Federation, and the Alliance of the Black Sun - although, as elaborated below, I am admittedly guilty of something similar.
  • None of the other Anoiktos players - @BloodyScarlet, @Gwathdraug, and @paladinrpg - have been active for quite some time; the first (according to his profile) has not been active since April 16th, 2015, the second (according to her profile) has not been active since August 25th, 2016, whereas the last (although making a brief appearance yesterday) has been on a hiatus since August 8th, 2016 - and (again, to the best of my limited knowledge) none of them have mentioned anything about becoming the Elysian's Faction Manager.
  • Although I had no intention whatsoever of utilizing this aspect of my Elysian character in such a fashion when I first created him, said character - who happens to be a full-fledged Patrician - is the son of an Elysian senator, which provides me with an IC means of enacting faction-wide changes. He's also the second-to-last Elysian character to ever be created while @Aendri was still active, and was the last to be created specifically for the Anoiktos.
  • As two submissions have recently demonstrated, I have a lot of free time - hence I'd be able to accomplish plenty with regards to repairing the Elysian's painfully outdated wiki articles.

That being said, however, there are two equally valid reasons as to why I should not become the Elysian's Faction Manager:
  • As stated before in the above section's first point, I am guilty of "something similar" to @Syaoran and @Acewing13: I am also heavily involved with another faction at the moment, namely the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia - which is vastly more expansive than anything the aforementioned two individuals are working on at the moment, given that Nepleslia's namespace contains roughly 700 articles the last time I checked. Although I most certainly am willing to work on Elysia, I would not be able to do so until after Nepleslia has been "updated" - which most likely won't happen until late this summer, at best. Realistically, it probably won't be accomplished until sometime during the autumn.
  • I am not confident enough in my roleplaying abilities to serve as a Game Master, though I do have some plot ideas; furthermore, I would not be able to participate in any Elysian plots created in the foreseeable future, due to already have reached my self-imposed limit of five different characters - which are all involved (or will be involved, once I get around to finishing them) in plots run by @Ametheliana, @Gallant, @Gunhand4171, and @Legix (and yes, this includes Aquila Flight, overruling what I said in this post - sorry about that).

To sum things up, I, FrostJaeger, would humbly like to request that I become the Faction Manager for Elysia, due to the reasons mentioned above - however, I will not and cannot promise that anything immediate would occur, also due to the reasons mentioned above. I ask that politics do not affect your decision in the above poll and that they kept out of this thread, which is to only contain civil discourse related to the topic being discussed; additionally, whatever decision @Wes makes regarding my petition will be the decision I abide by, even if it does not reflect the majority reflected in the poll - as he is both the Faction Manager for Elysia and for the site as a whole. Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow SARPers for taking the time necessary to slog through all of these Great Walls of Text, promise them that their vote will not have any effect on my current relationship with them, and apologize to them if it seems like I'm rambling/being pedantic/et cetera - as I'm still not terribly good at these kinds of things ._.

Yeah I'm totally in agreement with you becoming their custodian @FrostJaeger. I've been a bit concerned about their nature being preserved for some time seeing how some of the new Elysians were made. No offense to the players who made the characters, but the majority of them kind of missed the mark on the general disposition of the race. If you need someone to talk with about how the race should develop from here I'm fine with helping out, but they definitely at least need someone making sure the characters made and how the race is used stick with Elysian spirit.
 
I will add a slight note of my own opinion: Although I do entertain the idea of myself becoming the faction manager in the recessed of my mind, I know that realistically I am much less suited to managing the Elysians than many people I have encountered on this site, and even a few people I know who haven't ever been to this place. Realistically speaking, it is incredibly likely that I would run the faction into the ground rather than bring it into an improved status.
