Surge 2 [Begun!]

[Nukey]

Spoiler: Yorgy

Need I remind you of Surge 1?

He pretty much left us on our own, it was entirely up to us to keep the story moving.

So yes, 3W = Figurehead; Us = Actual GMs

Spoiler: Para

This is what I call "the clusterfuck theory of RP death".

People separate themselves into groups that are too small and go off on their own, creating multiple arcs to follow. Once a member of one of those groups vanishes, that group effectively dies.

Unlike in S1 for example, where we only had about two main groups, with the occasional split up.

Spoiler: All

Is anyone in favor of retrying this concept, preferably in a new thread?

I say concept, because I feel as the premise of surge is good, although sequel's aren't advisable for a number of reasons.

I'm in favor of trying again, preferably with a stronger storyline to follow. Honestly, the only thing most of the new characters had in common with the overall story was that we were supers, thus leading us to go off in our own directions

I could very well write the setting/story, though I refuse to GM because as most of you know I'm lazy I've got important shit to deal with, that and I become a complete monster when GMing*. >.>


[sup]*In my first RP, I killed someone off because I was bored; another because he pissed me off; and about three others for being lazy and inconsistent with their posts. It ended up being my most successful RP to date, 25 pages. >.> [/sup]

*sigh* I guess I'd do another super RP. Pity to see Surge going down like this though...

Since Nuke is willing to write it, I could probably co-GM it with someone else.

Damn. Start over? After all these epic posts?

<:/

Maybe it would be for the best. This story has kinda fucked itself. The pace quickened and got complicated way too fast. Didn't have enough setup. I would have preferred Pain to have taken a little while longer to "reveal" himself, and to have had Aqua's involvement from the beginning.

Yea, I guess we should retry. We need a new GM though. I'd be willing to Co-GM, or maybe full on GM if nobody else wants to.

 

[Quad08]

I'm going to be rebellious here, its obvious that this is done.

Now then...

I could help as well, but I'm currently GMing two other RPs at the moment so I'd rather not add a third to my list. But I think the BIGGEST issue to deal with it WHO should be allowed in. Many people simply disappeared over the course of this RP and I believe we should take accountability, not just skill, into account when choosing people.

 

[revolverwolf]

Alas, alack, and other words that give a general feeling of woe, Surge is no more.

Sadly, that is a problem for all RPs. Regardless how many players you let in, and who they are, you'll usually whittle them down to 3-5 regulars and some 'extras.' Our pity here is that our GM was an extra.

 

[Nukey]

@Quad: I disagree. While we should take accountability into consideration, we should pay the most attention to writing ability. A handful of you know my current thoughts on the quality of some of the users of this the site, and I stand by decision to do auditions to weed out the weak and obviously incapable.

My current thoughts on the GMing situation are as followed: One person GMs and two act as Co-GMs.

Finally, I advise moving this into either the Surge usergroup or the RP Regulars, so this thread can be allowed to fade from existence.

Wait... what? Who said it was no more?

Am I missing some part of this conversation? I thought we were re-starting Surge 2 because the GM quit...

Oh, er, sorry. I was just making a melodramatic beginning to my post. No need for panic Yorg.

Oh. Good to know.

 

[Yorgmiester]

Damn.
Well, it was fun playing with you lot.

Just to let you know, it will be restarting under new management, so you'll have another chance to get in. Be on the lookout.

 

[Zepren]

So it's all dead? Just like that? OH oh, is there gonna be a spinoff? Are we all invited back?

Surge 2 will be restarting under new management soon. The auditions are going to be redone as well, so no, not everyone who was part of this *cough* trainwreck *cough* will automatically get in. The auditions will probably be tougher this time around, so all you ladies better squeeze into those old writing brains in your attics.

Dw, I've been wanting to update my writing style. Though I do like it raw, it could do with some depth. have you got a thread for it yet?

No, everything is still under construction

 

[Xero Scythe]

I'm sad this crumbled. Hope you do a better job Yorg. If you succeed, then you're the hero of the rp section. if not...

*shhhhk!*

I hope it doesn't come down to me. Not sure if I could bear that weight on my shoulders. A joint GMership is in the works, most likely between me, Wolf, and Nuke.

Anyway, can we stop posting in here? It needs to drift away into nothingness.
