Avatar: A War Between Nations

Avatar: A War Between Nations

a part of “Avatar: A War Between Nations”, a fictional universe by Salroka.

We all know about the War and how it ended, but did the world simply wait for the Avatar's return all this time? Or, was there another opposing force long ago that had been swept under the sands of time?

Hey Salroka, I have a good idea for an avatar roleplay that my friend came up with. I asked her if I could give it to you as a suggestion, and she said yes. I'll pm it to you

I would...if you want me too. I could come up with a better character or a different one or or or....whatever it is you would like me to do. I'd even be willing to help with a concrete story, though I'm not all to sure how helpful I will be...>.> <.< Only, however, if you wish me to. ^-^

I'm thinking about restarting this roleplay, for its overall lacking of connection that I have overlooked. Things won't change much, I'm just wondering how many people would be willing to submit again, if I gave them a more concrete story?


I'll re-submit my main character, and then create hostile Firebender to actually use for most of the story.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Vio-Lance on Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:16 pm

It's time for constructive critisizm. If we're abandoning this roleplay, we need to at least talk about what went wrong, what the GM didn't like, and how we can fix that. I appologize for my absense, by the way. My brother invited me to stay at his house with his family. So I appologize for the absense.

Anyway, moving on to constructive critisizm.

Problem 1: "Overtrekking".
As I said in the begining, there is a lot of land to hypothetically cover. It's an entire world! Having two "starting points" that are so distanced by... everything is a huuuuuge gamble. Players can't advance the plot by meeting other characters. Not only that, players at the less active area are kind of left high and dry while the rest of the roleplayers move on to have a damn party. It's usually a gamble that doesn't pay off, and doesn't even have a big reward. Many great roleplays I've been in have fallen to this exact problem, and to be completely honest, I was not surprised when this happened here. The GM was stranded on his/her starting point with a few characters, meanwhile the rest of the characters were off in another city already interacting. And if a GM looses interest, well, the entire roleplay has no drive, and there is little can be done to save it other than simply restart.

They way we fix it:
Overtrekking happens when all the players are too far spread out to have cohesive interaction If Player A is getting robbed by five guys, and only has Player B to help him, while players C,D,E,F,G and H are all in the peaceful little town, there is a problem. This can be fixed by having a set, sole starting point. But it doesn't have to be exact! Say the starting point is a rural town. Player A can be a resident blacksmith. Player B can be staying in an inn room. Player C can be a traveller, and just coming into the town. Player D can go and be a mercenary guard hired by the town. And it just goes on and on. Everyone is in the same place, and can fluidly interact without getting ignored. Because in a city, if a bar brawl breaks out, God knows , you'lll have EVERYONE flying up your ass about it.

2: Indefinite direction:
It's absolutely cool that you want to have a free action roleplay! That's totally fine. But there has to be some kind of guide lines. Some kind of story or goal to reach overall; general or exact. Thats why in Dungeons and Dragons, and a hundred-thousand kantrillion tabletop roleplaying games, there IS a GM. He narrates the story, and overall sets the goals and quests for this entire deal. If you would move on to a game where the Gm is like," Hey, do whatever you want!" Then it'd get real dull real fast, unless someone set some kind of goal or figured something that needed to be done. Frankly, if there is no struggle, then there is no action, no drama, and no sorrow. So now you have a bland, tasteless roleplay that noone wants to play in.

How we fix it:
It's simple, really. Have a general story. As with the other one, it doesn't have to be anything drastic or overpowering. But if we don't have any idea of what we're doing... Then of course we're just going to yutz around untill we're bored, and then we have people that drop. And THAT isn't fun.

Other than that... I really can't pick out any serious problem other than those. If anyone has something to add, you're more than welcome to.
