β Announcement; The Chapter Policy β
xxxxPhew, okay. Here we go.
I have a big announcement in regard to how we will be role-playing from now on!
From what I've noticed from previous experiences in RP's, they often died out either because no one posted, or the suspense for an event took too long to take place...etc.
xxxxThus, I'd like for us to try out something I've grown to call, "The Chapter Policy".
Ah, I can hear the "owo's" in the background already.
Don't worry, folks! You'll be roleplaying in your own style and such as you always have been. This is simply more in depth concept toward the length of the RP and so forth.
Basically, this policy will contain the following principals:
- The Role-play will now be represented in Chaptered events (yay!)
xxxxβ Okay, so basically what I mean by this is that instead of going the snail-like...day-by-day propoganda, we will be RPing along the idea as though we're writing a book. Time will go on as casual as it has been. I'll be making the day(s) and such go at a reasonable pace, and set time-skips as we see fit throughout it.
xxxxβ The Chapters themselves, however, come into play when it comes to time. As I have stated in our handy-dandy rules, I have to get on people's backs when it comes to being inactive. Being inactive is something that really kills an RP, so I'm gonna help rectify that. With the Chapters feature, characters will be free to make up reasonable responses if they are waiting for someone else by briefly mentioning it once I call the "current chapter" to an end in the upcoming chapter after it. It's an easy, flexible way to continue the role-play without being dragged back by people who do not have the time to post. It will also help me as the owner keep track of these people, as I will easier be able to monitor how often everyone has posted and such with the sections a chapter provides.
- How will they work?
xxxxβ Don't sweat it; it's simple. Chapters will be based on how relatively complete an event or day is. Once I deem it to be reasonably done, I'll drop a subtle warning for everyone to tie up loose ends if they must in their next post before ending the chapter.
xxxxβ Chapters can last a couple of days- don't be mistaken. It all depends on the closure we get. :') and when I can evilly just end the moment right before your eyes like one of those evil authors you can't get enough of muahahahahhahaa
xxxxβ A chapter basically means that everything from that point on in the RP fades to black into the next event. Similar to that of a chapter of a book, as I have mentioned previously.
xxxxβ There will always be a new introduction for each new chapter. This will give the RP a boost, small recap (occasionally), and an easy way for those that have been inactive for a few days to get the chance to integrate their cats without it being an awkward "poof" they're suddenly included in a situation kind of ordeal.Plus, this also gives me the chance to induce more and more and more drama into the role-play as we go on..
xxxxβ The last, and final rule that needs to be clear about this Chapters Policy, is that once the chapter ends, you cannot- I REPEAT - you cannot post a response in regard to that chapter any longer. This means that you have to post in reference to that chapter in the new chapter- in past tense, if you're gonna talk/refer to that segment of the story in your post.
On this note...
Our First Chapter Introduction and event itself will be the Gala of Sekhmet
If you guys have questions, let me know c:
Whatcha guys think?
I really put a lot of thought into this, and I'm hoping this experiment does magic that I've been hoping for.
At least for the most part.

UPDATE - I have obsessively just typed out the introduction for Chapter Two.... it's gonna be an epic night folks. You have until my next update to get in any last minute wishes before I begin. (I might make a few exceptions because the wishes won't be announced until (probably?) the second round of posting in response to the introduction and such, so don't stress if you haven't quite figured out what you want them to wish for yet. :') I might hold them back until nearing the end of the night of the Gala... Maybe... hmmmmmmmmmmm....
We will begin the RP roughly around 10 am-12 pm-ish MST (depending on when I can get my frikin post up)
