Ya I guess that is there.. We could have separate battles and then just have the result of the battle shown in the main thread.. That way if people don't want to read the specifics then they can skip the battles and enjoy the story..

One thing I would like to recommend is have a decent sized post.. Many posts here are merely one line, and add next to nothing to the RP as a whole.. It's just something I personally believe we can do to make the experience more enjoyable for readers and players..

Also try and wait for some action to take place in all kingdoms.. Time zones may slow down the RP cause of this, but it would enrich the interactions between all players...

This right here about the post size is something I'd also like to point out.

While technically are no ground rules in this forum itself regarding the size that an IC post must be, as this is always left up to the host of the RP in question around here, it is still better to have a post with at least a bit of elaboration rather than just a single line of dialogue, as this helps to add substance to the post and possibly eliminate a bit of confusion. Now of course there are instances where a single line of dialogue might be better than a long winded type up, but the general rule of thumb in writting is: Show, don't tell. And the secret to show don't tell is this:

Be more specific.

here's a whole article about it for those curious: http://thewritepractice.com/show-dont-tell/

And if you want to read more, just type in "Show, Don't Tell" to Google or Bing or any search engine, and you'll get a crap ton of other online articles about it.

I'm with yash 100% on this, if we can maybe cut down on such short post, one, it would help to slow down the pace a little and make it harder for people to get lost, as their are some players who haven't posted even once yet, and already we have like 10 pages of IC, and two, like Yash said, it would help enrich the overall RP and make it more enjoyable to readers

Yeah, I'm actually kind of interested in the RP, but the speed and post quality kind of left me confused. I think once everybody ups their post quality a bit, I might jump into the fray. There are some very simple ways to up your post quality which can be done by answering a couple questions like these.

What is your character doing? Why is your character doing that? Where is your character and why is that important? What is the scenario like according to your character? How does your character feel?

That's more of an rpers side of things as a host should automatically be doing this as well as giving imagery of the scenario and world. Simple details go a long way and can even turn a boring, blandish character into an interesting one.

Commander I think if you wait for the next chapter we will have worked out a better system, which will definitely improve the quality of all posts as well.. There are some major flaws I can see that I will build guidelines to restrict and stop if needed.. Once that is done, the overall pace should decrease a little and the quality of all posts should increase..

Right now, where I live, there's a Thunderstorm. How fitting for the s***fest that's about to go down in the IC thread.

Just checking in real quick since I see there has been a bit of... a heated discussion? ((sorry, I have been busy and it is hard to keep up with all these RPs etc...since life stuff, Pokemon Se7en etc lol.)).

Is everything good around here or what's up? Just gimme a lay of the land.

I don't think there's really any big issues or anything, just that there are kinda a lot of things that need tending to and addressing here, hence all the talk you've probably been seeing in this.

All in all, I don't think it's anything really major as it's just development talk and not like there are any flames starting to fly.

It's best we wait for the host (as Krusher) to respond before doing anything else because, we are trapped in, and even though I mended a exit out of the blue, At least give us time to respond to the attack.

so the land kingdom's castle is like the King's landing in GoT? the similarity is uncanny, the Land kingdom is like the Lannisters, they've drawn so much heat from the other kingdoms.

well, needless to say the Kingdom of land wont't fall. its far too soon for anything like that to happen and I kinda need all 4 of them (well 6 come chapter 2) to be intact. with their crrent leaders if possible

Hey, at least it wasn't the water kingdom that took down the Land Castle, although they did weaken it quite a bit.

Like I said before, no kingdoms are going to fall this chapter, and if things go right the next will be the same.

also, future reference people. these kingdoms were at war to BEGIN with for 50 years. its not like the Land kingdom is the only one who did anything bad in terms of history.

No kidding and it's about get bombed by the sky.

Then do something about it because the sky kingdom will attack with everything they have out there.

Ha, lols... no one seems to have noticed the fact that Azauqyar is completely alone out there...

Though, in all fairness, what sky has at the moment is one Pissed off Rayquaza with a full Mikado Organ and a vendetta to pursue, so... guess that could still do a number by itself in any situation...

though I honestly don't what he'll do right now...

Here's a Hint "Tyrunt and the Sky Dragon"

My guess is it's a female Rayquaza. just off the top of my head

I think that it's probably either a Dragonite or Altaria. The funny part is that I was expecting it to be a Goodra before he gave the hint.
