Lol. it wasn't such a bad thing when all you did on the internet was to look something up and then you were done. especially when your landline and your internet were the same thing.
Preach to the choir, that's how my Internet was until 2006.

((overwhelming odds can be provided))
Given how overwhelming our characters' power and influence are, if we don't start over we'll need to escalate the enemies' power to ever-increasing heights. Our characters can kill minor gods with ease and have major ones on call; what can hope to stand against us?

((I always said that you guys made too many chars, note how I always sticked to one, dropping Hainuwele as soon as ICARUS came about. Don't get me started about power levels :P. As far as interaction goes, I will tell you the same as everyone else - you alone decide how much interaction your char gets or not. If you want combat to be less of a clusterfuck, you may or may not decide to have one combatant, and various characters purely for non-combat, kinda like what GWG has going, Nuriel in battles, Will in non-battles. Everyone having a swarm of characters is just a stupid idea. If everyone only focuses on one, *maybe* two, suddenly it's a whole lot less clusterfucky))
That's hardly the worst of it. Most people don't have more than one or maybe two characters who routinely go on missions. The problem is that we have so many freaking characters. And no audit process for them.

edit: ((that being said, it's not always the GMs fault if a plot is not fun. Characters need to involve themselves in the plot too.
I'd put the blame less on either and more on what the game has mutated into.


Oh, and we have an OOC thread.

Well, I'd have no problem with a Game review with tighter GMing. For starters, reducing the amount of characters quite a bit. I'd say "one per player" but a least PN has two characters that I'd need at hand for future things. Secondly, resources. Too many things can be handwaved a bit too easily, considering some chars are millionaires, while the others either instantly build stuff they need, or have IRIS ship it in. IRIS is useful as a coordinative effort to give players informations, plothooks and to simply have an explanation what is going on, but simply put, is too powerful, to much money, too big numbers - too convenient.

as far as it gets to powers, powers are simply hard to balance.

but frankly, if you want a real balancing factor - no more bracelets. Characters are at a location or they are not, distances exist. I know it's convenient for communication, but that's what phones are for. For now, it's a "swarm combat" button. Also, a guarantee nobody will ever die, because teleporting out. Frankly, Keiths leg was ripped off, and Kyle immediatly teleported into battle, Keith received no actual medical attention. When we return home, we should notice a very bled-to-death keith


edit: also, no more gods. Gods, Satan etc have been mega trivialised, to dudes we just have friendly drinks with, and by that standard, none of our characters ever show and respect, awe or simply fear, no matter what they are faced with. They have information at hand readily, so there is nothing we don't rather quickly understand either. Gods should be limited to rare high-points, and demon lords like osmodias actually terrifying things - and that not just by being statsponges, but simply by characters and players additude towards the whole thing.

Um... Want me to seriously injure her? I could. I have another Order memeber who has yet to be introduced who uses pistols... Just saying.

Go ahead. We hardly have any actual character deaths in the game anymore, it would make a nice touch. Plus I don't have any plots planned for Winry like I do with Alucard, Barti, and Lizzie (who will all tie in Alucard's plot. Maybe HILDA a bit.)

That's another problem. The only person with any power to change anything...is completely apathetic to everything.

I think elf meant to go ahead and get the game back to a reasonable sanity by killing off un-needed characters or retiring some that aren't important. Or something like that.

Tbh, I do think the bracelet is a bit OP. But only its teleportation.
