NEW INFORMATION BELOW*
All right everyone, so I'm thinking of starting something.
Something that will probably be quite big, and interactive, if it goes through.
I'm not going to say much about it yet, as it might be one of the many things that I boldly embark upon, and it flops over because of my laziness, or I might just give up on the moment I wake up tomorrow morning.
But it will involve empty titles.
That's what this is all about.
I am well aware of a few of you avid followers that make yourselves known quite loudly. [[I love you all, and you know who you are]] but I'm also well aware of the much quieter side of my readership. Those of you that sort of read along, and continue on with your days later. Then, even quieter, those that might click on the odd page here and there, and forget about it.
I want to get an idea of how many of you, quiet or loud, that there actually are.
I need a bit of a count to start with so that I can even begin to FATHOM starting this.
Would you even be interested if I WERE to do something else for the comic?
[[It's going to be a 'game' of sorts.]]
Do you actually read regularly?
Do you click occasionally,
looked at a page and got turned off for some reason?
Do you even have a clue what this is, or what its about?
Do you LOATHE IT WITH A BURNING PASSION IN YOUR SOUL?
I need to know.
Take this as a census of sorts.
Thanks to any of you that respond!
*::Some Information::
So the response to this so far has been... interesting. As well as uplifting in a way.
I think that I might be able to start sharing a bit of information as to what I've got in mind, so that you guys can start telling me how interested you might be, so I know whether or not it would be worth it to start going through.
The game would be like a campaign of sorts. Like a very extended and spread out roleplaying campaign, but with quite a few twists.
At its base, it would be sort of like a scavenger hunt. You would be split into teams of four, with every member given their title of Terror, Gunman, Summoner, or Puppetmaster.
Other players might be labeled as Cutters, and possibly apprentices as well.
Every player type will have their own unique roles and abilities. As well as chances to get new abilities. This will include their weapons, stats, skills, and how they can and cannot interact with other players. [[For Example, Gunman are naturally loyal, so they can't go behind the terrors back and make deals. Puppetmasters, on the other hand, can do whatever the heck they want to do, regardless of their team. However, the battle skills of Gunman are ridiculously high.]]
The game itself will stretch over the entire site, and lead players to certain forums, users, and oekaki pictures to be part of the hunt. Depending on how the players interact with one another, there will be battles, betrayals, plot twists etc.
And, of course, they will all be based on your own decisions. [[Maybe you want to join the cutters for some reason, because they offered you something valuable, or because another player was forced into apprenticeship and if you don't do what the cutter says, that player will never live, or maybe they'll actually free that player or... heck, it's all up to you guys and how you play. : P]]
All of this will lead up to a final battle of sorts, and I'll end up doing something special for the winning team.
I have several things to fine tune, but for the most part I have a skeleton of sorts for how the whole thing will work.
[[Coming up with battle dynamics and character statistic methods can be a bit challenging... Though I think I have a rough idea for it all...]]
I honestly think, if this goes over, and if we get enough players, this could be awesome. Not just as an 'Empty Titles' thing, but just as a site-wide game in general.
I'm flat out excited just thinking about how this could work.
So... anyone think it would be cool?
