Title: Round Robin Player Events
Post by: Acacea on March 17, 2017, 03:06:51 pm

Every Friday

8PM-11pm EST

5PM-8PM PST
etc. 

Upcoming Dates

Acacea[/b] 3/24, 4/14, 5/5[/b]

willhoff/davidhoff[/b]  3/31, 4/21, 5/12[/b]

LFFF[/b] 4/7, 4/28, 5/19[/b]

If you want to throw your name in the hat (!), just post your name and I'll edit the dates for quick reference. Commitments are just doing your best to show up and have fun if it is not your day, and if it is being the guy that picks what everyone's doing for the night. That's it. 

Bring any character, organizing can be IC or OOC - example of the IC is "Acacea asks for an escort to x location" and the latter would be me posting an (invented, non-important) NPC's bounty and showing up with a character unassociated with it in any way. Either way, player-me is starting it. The more people on the list, the fewer times it is your turn to think of what to do.

If you can't commit to weeklies but still want to play with other people, that's the whole point! Show up whenever you can!  If a destination is put on the calendar and you know you're going to be late or something, feel free to just go ahead of time so you'll log in at the same place as everyone else. The whole idea is getting enough weeks going in a row that regardless of your schedule and even if the week is 100% dead, people can come to expect that know that other players are going to be around this Friday night to play with. (I also spent Acacea's early life not going on a single quest, just having fun RPing with fellow players, and have never followed why this can't still be a thing.)

PS Hoffs I don't know if you actually meant to sign up or not and I guessed, oops. Please clarify :P 

Random thoughts: Are there people  with unpredictable schedules that could never do weekly, but wouldn't mind being sort of understudies, divvying up the occasional days where something comes up for the regular guy? I think Alatriel might have meant something along these lines...

OP Saved below for, erm, posterity.

tldr We should sign up to take turns running weekly events, what are good times and would you take a slot right now or after x number of people, or would you attend if other people did it 
For obvious reasons, people collectively tend to wait to see other people on the server status or an event on the calendar before logging in, and when multiple people organize runs to places, it's just coincidence if they are near one another. 

I was thinking of old campaigns that would run weekly that people would get up all hours of the night for, or when we opened up the Arms every Friday at 5pst for anyone that stopped by for a drink, and thinking it's nice for people to have a sure timeslot that others will be on for, or just the "game night" standby in general.
How 'bout a few of us OOC agreed to run our events on the same day/time every week and just took turns and[/i] went to each other's events (as players with any character) so there was always a guaranteed attendance of at least the other hosts? The more people take a slot, the fewer [/i]times it ends up being your turn. And I'm not talking like a huge deal, write up posters and bake pies all week in preparation event (unless you want to!), I just mean anything you would normally post a rumor or event for, as big or small as you feel like that week. The only point is that the burden of thinking of something to do shifts regularly, and people could get used to the idea that there will be at least a handful of folks up to something every week.
If you don't like bashing runs, the next week might be a storytelling event. If you're bored by fishing trips pretending to drink beer, the next one might be to the dragon's lair. I think everyone who has stuck it out is pretty keen on not only allowing[/i] but supporting[/i] and encouraging varied playstyles, and I think, being largely unsupervised, that we are the best people to do that ;)  
Just like it doesn't have to be anything fancy, it doesn't have to be individuals. The Hoff boys could be one slot, or DB & Serissa. A DM might run a quest in that slot because by definition it was good for most people, and push whomever's turn back a week. And if someone really wants to host something but hardly anyone has a character that would fit their slot's theme (say Corathite, monster race, etc), then I think we should make characters that can accomodate so that every couple weeks  is a goblin raid or something, you know? 
It's not to say you can't run something out of those times, or that anyone who ends up unfriendly to that slot is SOL. I just think that guaranteed weekly activity could potentially have a net gain for activity in general. 
Even if we only got three days claimed, it would only be one person/pair/guild's turn every three weeks, which is no sweat if you are doing an ore run, and still plenty of time if you were thinking something fancy. And, ultimately, if you can't make everyone's or you can't get into other types of events, at least you'd have the benefit of knowing that same time, every week, something's going on, and one of these weeks it will be something up your alley. 
Thoughtssssssssssssss? Takers? Questions? Best time suggestions? 

Title: General idea is understood,
Post by: davidhoff on June 10, 2016, 09:45:43 pm

General idea is understood, but I'm a bit fuzzy on logistics of your proposal.  Beers starting to kick in so might be on my end.  Anyways, yes I agree that scheduled events or reocurring time slots are the way to go.  There will be times when nobody shows and times when everyone shows...it depends on the wind.  I think just a reoccuring get together is ok, but can get boring; a better idea is to theme the get together so folks know where we're going (ie, mithril, rubies, spider cave, tell poems (eeek), arena fight, etc).  If you try to do to much too often there is also a burnout factor; maybe once or twice a week with GMT'rs getting one of those slots.

Aye

So how I was thinking (with regards to burnout, themes, etc) is keeping it simple, once a week (with interest people can always do MORE but in order to keep it easy for every person, weekly is pretty laidback), and whomever's turn it is can post their own event just like they normally would - be it rubies or poems, hehe. 

Let's say at first we only get a few host-ers and it's me, you and willhoff in the same slot, and swoop, and we pick Friday, 8pm EST. 

First Friday, Acacea announces at the beginning of the week (or even earlier) that the Arms, after mourning the loss of a particular barstool wrecked beyond repair over someone's head, is replacing it with one to be imprinted with the buttcheeks of the person who comes to the party with the best Ode to Barstool. Terrible odes are had, the other people that signed up try their best to attend even if its not their thing (or make a new character with a different style!). 

Next Friday, the dwarves announce a run for mithril in Losthammer territory, and much bloodshed is had, other people that signed up try their best to attend even if it's not their thing or... 

Next Friday, Quenton has been working on his tailoring and hasn't been able to acquire the last materials he needs, and asks for interested peoples to help him acquire the skins on a hunting trip. Many skins are... ahem.

Next Friday, Acacea demands another shot at the Glittering Isles...

Next Friday, DM runs quest in that slot? *hopes!* hehe

Next Friday, Corky & Ryubi are going cave diving and are only looking for the most reckless souls to find glory with... 

Next Friday, swoop's dwarf is outraged to learn of dark elves having overrun the dwarven outposts in the Spikes and rallies kin and allies to help put them down for a time... 

Next Friday, perhaps DB & Serissa have signed on...

etc etc, and just sandwiching in additional people's turns if more sign up. The point isn't "let's fill up the calendar!" which is great, and if people start getting used to coming on again and do so, awesome... hehe. And I'd love enough interest in doing the same for GMT. It's really just an idea for a small start that I think could be sustainable even during the dead times because a) it's not reliant on any single person b) there is enough time to plan for something big, but c) low-expectation enough that if it's just a materials run, it's all good. Your turn only comes after everyone else has gone, and if that leaves some of us with lots of inspiration to run extras (or your week could actually be an all-week-long scavenger hunt that just concluded on your day, whatever!), that's bonus for everyone! 

The time/day picked would be determined by the one shared by the most people volunteering to host. Ideally everyone would be able to attend without having to run anything, but it only works if at least the people running them can go to one another's ;) I guess you could think of it as trying to establish not the ideal level of activity, but a kind of bare minimum we can chip in with.

Title: "If you try to do to much too
Post by: cbnicholson on June 13, 2016, 03:43:20 pm

"If you try to do to much too often there is also a burnout factor"  This and a change in job duties plus loads of babysitting have really put a crimp in my game time.  I like the idea, but other than you rubins there aren't many who show up.  I've tried, Rofie knows,  I've tried.  I'm game, I guess.  It's just hard for me to commit to a set time these days.

See, I think that this is better not as an "I'm game I guess" response, but a criticism of the suggestion's efficacy (which is not a bad thing!) - it's not meant to guilt anyone into doing anything, but rather to divide up exactly what you're talking about. If it doesn't help with that in a way that we could keep like three hosts long-term (even if they are swapped out with other people) and have a good time going to other people's events, there's no point. 

That's not to say everyone has to think it's a good idea, but definitely there needs to be enough people that can have fun with it in order for it to work and make things available to the rest, who can just drop in whenever they feel like. 

The main reason I was thinking about this sort of thing to begin with is just watching individuals start things up with good intentions, push some things on their own for a bit, and then burn out - their efforts don't bear fruit quickly or for long, and it's easier to just show up for someone else's thing than keep being the only one putting them up. (This is doubly the case for DMs.) My thinking was that if there were six hosts, it would only be your turn every month and a half. If it doesn't at all help with the issues you guys have mentioned, then there's not really any point in trudging into it, because those are the exact issues it was trying to address. That makes it a bad suggestion ;) 

Is playing once a week, organizing once a ... erm... period determined by the number of other people... too much? What about every other week? Once a month? Just trying to get an idea of what reward-for-effort seems most worth it to anyone, if anything!

If once-a-week works for anyone that would 'join', what days and times work?

(There's no obligation to host, even attending every now and again is great. We just need for there to be something to attend :P )

Title: I can pop in with a character
Post by: Alatriel on June 13, 2016, 06:21:34 pm

I can pop in with a character of one sort or another if there are going to be people on for some sort of rp event, but with the way things are in my household, I don't usually have more than a couple hours at most, probably from about 9-11 Eastern Time, and I don't have the ability to say "yeah, I can do every Thursday" or whatnot.  I -might- be able to do a day one week, but then maybe not the next.  I can do my best, but I'd definitely be better for just "Hey, Viper will be passing out drinks at the Arms on Thursday" or "Daniella will be at the Temple/Center/whatever" rather than trying to come up with an actual event/adventure.  If someone tells me which days are missing but want someone to log in, send me a message and I'll see if I can make it work. 

Title: Generally, I have babysitting
Post by: cbnicholson on June 14, 2016, 02:03:07 pm

Generally, I have babysitting duty Tues- Thursdays most weeks until 7 pm CDT after a 8 hour workday.  It can go longer depending.  Best days for myself are Friday evenings, weekends with the limitation of not going too late. I literally go wool headed after 10 p.m. and am useless after.  So, ideally, Friday evenings work best for me to play, barring out of town trips and or family weekend visits. 

 

Title: I'm good Fridays...
Post by: Acacea on June 14, 2016, 05:09:03 pm

I'm good Fridays... completely off topic, I just tracked your posts, swoop, trying to remember what times you usually posted, and I just noticed the "pipboy in the mail" comment from an older thread. So shiny! :P

Title: I like Friday's too (starting
Post by: willhoff on June 15, 2016, 01:09:12 am

I like Friday's too (starting early evening EST) unless something comes up like guests or family coming over etc.  Thursdays can work (also in the evenings) too but I may not have as much time.  Saturdays and Sundays are hit or miss but possibilities.

Title: I like the idea and Fridays
Post by: Serissa on June 15, 2016, 10:44:31 am

I like the idea and Fridays are usually good.  My granddaughter is visiting for the next few weeks, though, and she is keeping me hopping.  I'll do what I can.

Title: Serissa, CB, would you guys
Post by: Acacea on June 15, 2016, 11:16:05 am

Serissa, CB, would you guys want the same or separate turns? My thinking on people sharing was pretty much the same as the whole thing - if you can't make that one, your other person can do it, hehe

Same for will/davidhoff ? swoop, do you think you could do a space if it were Friday 'early EST evenings' or are you mainly hoping to attend? (Which is fine... attendees we are in desperate need of, after all ;) )

Title: Serissa, CB, would you guys
Post by: cbnicholson on June 15, 2016, 12:36:14 pm

Serissa, CB, would you guys want the same or separate turns?

As we have three pairs of duo.  DB/Lana, Charlie/Kat, Jo/Fern, probably the same.

My experience has been, having a priest/Priestess in the mix is a must for most areas. 

 

Title: Fridays are generally good
Post by: Alatriel on June 15, 2016, 02:09:11 pm

Fridays are generally good for me every other Friday, but I'll try to pop in if people are on on the Fridays I don't have anything.  I generally can't spend the time that it takes to do things like Deep runs and I don't have any characters that can teleport out (nope, not a one) so I'm pretty much always having to opt out of those long xp-type runs.  But if it's a rp event or a shorter area run or one that is easy to enter/exit, it's a lot easier for what time I have available.

Title: I'd be happy to do something
Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on June 17, 2016, 01:15:23 pm

I'd be happy to do something with less magically inclined folks, but may need to find said things to do first.  Haven't been widely travelling for many year and I forget where such suitable places are these days.  But I'd be game for a once a week adventure, at least for the summer.

Title: Okay, First Round Robin is

Okay, First Round Robin is up.  Let's see what happens.  Who's taking the next one?

Post by: davidhoff on June 24, 2016, 03:19:18 am

I'll do what I can and happy to try and feed the robin.  Fridays are always kinda iffy for me.  Usually M-TR is better, but we'll see.  Maybe if its my week I might jump the tracks like England and call for a Thursday dive.

Title: Are we only doing Fridays or
Post by: Alatriel on July 01, 2016, 03:29:04 pm

Are we only doing Fridays or other days?  Because Fridays are a beast for me...

Title: Hi. The whole point really is
Post by: Acacea on July 01, 2016, 07:24:10 pm

Hi. The whole point really is that no one is restricted to doing just anything. The only goal was to have one time that would be consistently filled - same time, same day, every week. The idea was to get people used to the notion that people would always be on at those times, and hope for a sort of bleedover to other days. Someone who is iffy on "the day" could do something every now and again a different day. Why not? This isn't regulating anyone's schedules, it's just asking for a group of people to commit to entertaining one another at least once a week - which means that when it comes to setting the time, the ones that matter most are for the people who will commit to hosting them, hehe.  

So... if we can get enough people to host a different time and day every week... sure, move to whenever. Otherwise, what is wrong with having more things, more days? Fill up the calendar, by all means! Add extra side things! That's how it should be, heh. 



And wow, rampant editing because I can English...

Sometimes small groups are interesting. A good time to sit at an inn and catch up on people's lives, learn each other's stories. 

Or hit Belinara. All levels, running and screaming is a player-level skill as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully somebody can cast the Sight so people can see each other but uh if not, screaming "TURN RIGHT AT THE BIG ROCK" could be fun, too.

Just an OOC note, this is kind of a long trip but Acacea's planning on sprinting through some of the way as she's not counting on having any wards and such so might be alright timewise. There's a place at the end that she won't go in normally with people but alone has a crazy game she enjoys that she might be playing if there's anyone stupid enough to join her. It's more of a "run really fast, tag the center, and try to get back out alive" game, though.

Aaand something came up.  A prior promise to help Tyrra in a cdq which is, you guessed it, the same night.  So I've got to bow out, my apologies.  I encourage the rest of you to go do something.  I don't want to be alone on the server with Tyrra.  She might chloroform me again!

My intent was to open the Arms tonight, but I may not be home in time. Hopefully some people will find some things to do. Also I think we've lost some people so I am going to switch to opening the Arms every Friday. I'll be on for an hour and may leave if no one shows, otherwise up for RP and whatnot until everyone leaves. Anyone wanting to do something specific can just post their event like normal and I will attend that, instead. Likewise, if I have something else specific to do, I will post that, instead. Just looking to fill the time and post something regular on the calendar.

I will take this Friday and update the dates with the new slot later this week when I get a chance*. LFFF, this one will be high level that admittedly will be difficult for even our high level clerics to keep Lia (or the rest of us) alive, but I think it has some interesting information and possibly a chance to be recognized despite time and appearance because of subject matter! I will try to drop some reasons that she might wish to accompany when I update stuff.

I'm leaving plague-time to do these, so everybody else feel free to bring whomever. Just shelve it for now and we'll get back to it :P

*Edit, I have updated the dates, though I realize we will be coming up on holiday scheduling troubles soon enough! No worries for now, I figure we'll deal when it happens

My original intent was K'halziras, but it's kinda short notice, and a long trip for a regular Friday. I have been occupied with other things and haven't really thought of anything else except being at the Shack for info requests, as Acacea had been thinking about stories about the Soul Mother after some comments made at the River of Death. Of course anyone can leave from there to go anywhere...

Post by: davidhoff on December 09, 2016, 06:41:47 pm

Cleared up the RL issue so I'm a go.

I've got some ideas but haven't really setttled on something.  There's a couple drops to the Deep I haven't entered yet which would be interesting.  There's the Witherlands hidden crypt (hi lvl); Witherlands Orc cave (mid lvl); Wallops deader crypt (mid lvl).  Depending on time there's always emeralds.  Also we could try to hit the gnome city for their treasure.  There's the kinkos that nobody dares to enter into that is off Sharwood.

Lots more, so if you have a vote post here I guess or we can talk it IG...or maybe I'll just be a Tyrant and decide :)

Per Chakar's newest post, DB will be busy Friday night in the Great North escorting dwarves, dodging foul flatulence, and trying to stay alive.  I'm sure other  characters (lvls 30+strongly recommended) would be welcome to join us, that is if you can stand the  smell of dwarf for extended periods.

It will be a low level thing as I gather all high levels will be doing the Chakar run.

Post by: Acacea on December 23, 2016, 03:42:00 pm

I have some holiday related things coming up here, so after much debate and waffling... I will be on and off in some capacity or another for RP but not going anywhere in particular. I was waffling on location because RP events that I had in mind would take a little longer to prepare and I'd like a few more people, and likewise the only place Acacea has at the moment to go, I'd rather not leave out the people who can't go because of holidays... now I have things at home too ;) 

I'll be in and out because of stuff at home, and am not sure I will be able to keep up with a trip if anyone goes...sorry for short notice. I should be around at a later hour, and tomorrow.

Lia will establish a small or large group (depending on what will be required for this, I'm hoping it involves some challenging areas), to sweep ALL the areas that provide the resourses required for the temporary cure for the Wasting Death.  Maybe make it a back and forth so we hit all areas twice.  Even better if a DM (hint, hint) might want to get involved to provide us with greater bounty.  We will keep what we find but donate the resourses we are after adding a missive with our names on it to indicate all involved in this "hopefully" large resourse run.

On a side note, I already put the plan in the forums, so if everyone who wants to be involved wants to start at the normal time, I can always join a bit later.

Post by: Chuckles_McChuck on January 09, 2017, 09:22:34 pm

Since it is also my turn this week (unless someone else wants to take over), Lia needs to get 10 Spider queen silk for a quest.  Does this sound interesting for this Friday's Round Robin?

(wondering if this could involve a run into the Deep or similar difficult like area.  I think I was hinted that the particular silk is not easy to obtain.)

Title: I'd just make it so. The idea
Post by: Acacea on January 09, 2017, 09:46:43 pm

I'd just make it so. The idea of the events is just posting a thing that everyone can join. Some weeks may be more exciting than others, you know? "Lia asks for help gathering dark silk" is just as legitimate as "Griff heads to mine mithril" :)

Plus, that way you can just focus on what you'd like to do and let people think of stuff they'd rather do on their days, hehe

There is not -that- hard area in Belinara that has that silk, but if i remember well ( Its been a while ) if its for the lady in center she will asks for about 10 spools, If so this area probably don't hold as many to fullfill the quest on one run, I am not that versed in the deep regarding the queen spider silk, so open to ideas there.

I'm hoping to look at both, but if Lia wants to go, we can limit ourselves to the orc cave or do the trapdoor second, depending on time,  Lia might be able to make the leap with some magical help.  If not we'll have to part ways with her there.  Sound fair?

Post by: Acacea on January 20, 2017, 01:47:48 pm

While I enjoy obstacles that require skill to overcome (swim/climb/jump etc) and even wish there were harder/more skill based ones in the world, I also think it would be cool if there was gear to help (spiked shoes, magical flippers, what have you) and if at the end of the day you could just tow someone drowning/smashing into wall behind you or try some clever solutions ;) 

So if I was around I could help enable this if magical aid did not assist, but on the other hand someone's idea might spectacularly fail and plummet them down into a canyon or something, so... *looks around*

If I had my rathers, I'd rather start at 6 central time if we're going for emeralds due to the long trip, but the Hoffs get to make  that call.  Usual start time for the RR is 7 central, 8 eastern which tends to get late for me (and Serissa) to finish.

Also, @the tamale eater, I'm very jealous!

LFFF is up this week.  Just a suggestion, but do you still need the Oil of Vukas? If we can sweet talk Fern into helping, Jo or Charlie would be glad to patrol the mountains again.  A nice low to mid level romp.  Wouldn't hurt to gather a few bodak teeth either.  DB is running out of full heals due to the deep trips.  I also want to poke around the area to see if we might find another entrance to the Deep.  Just a feeling I have.

It's not really worth it to me as a last ditch thing that barely anyone attends, let alone tells stories. I may do a small thing a little later in the evening but probably not on the hour. It seemed laggy to me even before I started putting some things together though, so I'm not sure how well it will work out.

fair enough.  Well its 5pm PST so I'm online now and will wait a bit in Center.  If more happen to go online then we can discuss in game what we want to do.  I'm thinking exploring for explorations sake.  Like that tower that lead us to the powerful not exactly human anymore wizard (this is an example and I'm very much not suggesting it as a last resort).  A place that might be relatively hard to explore alone and doesn't exactly have a lot of crafting resourses that involves it being travelled often.  If we have enough numbers.
