SOTU & DROP MEME
State of the Union and Drop Meme for all of my current characters and games!
CAMP FUCK YOU DIE
I've have one of those stagnant streaks going on again in camp. As of late I have barely played at all, and when I try, I never finish a thread anymore. So basically Yzak's CR is failing horribly. I realize a lot of CFUD's thing is if you comment to a post, OP is obviously replying to everybody and a lot of posts get dropped as a result. In comparison to the other games I'm in (one is prose, so slower and more flexible like that, the other is commentspam, but the way the setting and team thing is makes it flow a lot better so it's not too fast/too slow) CFUD seems to be a lot harder as of late to really jump into. That's also because with Yzak I feel like I'm always going in a circle (especially in generic posts like campfire or mingleposts which as of recent I don't find as appealing-- but that's probably due to lack of CR) and he's been in camp for over five years now ... I hope tossing Carlos back into the fray helps not only my stagnant feeling, but my Yzak playing as well.
Really I just feel bad because I wanted to do Halloween stuff, and wound up doing ... nothing! I think I jumped one post, but it was an OP post so my thread got dropped after a few comments. And with CFUD it is a lot faster and move-on so I missed every vampire post that went up (since I put down permissions for one)-- and I knew that jumping after it died down from the initial oomph probably wouldn't have done much. I LOVE CFUD but if you miss a post a certain amount of time after it goes up, odds are it's pretty much dropped. All games are obvs like this too, but CFUD seems to have a much smaller window for it. Which is hard for me recently. It's not a bad thing, just something that has not worked well with me and my schedule at all. :(
So overall I am sad about Yzakfail, but hopeful that Carlos fun will help me with this stagnation feeling I've been having.
TRANS 9
Trans is sometimes like a double-edged sword for me. I love it so much and it has a lot of open opportunities to play. But since it's prose, it moves slower, and a lot of the time I see so many threads unfinished due to the speed. And to someone who wants to GET ALL UP IN THIS and GET SOME CR GOING especially with Jr., it can be frustrating sometimes that it's not faster like a commentspam game. I am tossing Yzak into a plot this week where he gets to be knocked around a little, and I have a future plot idea but I only want to pitch it when Jr. gets CR and Yzak gets a little more at least. But Yzak I like so far. He's second in command of the Blade Squadron and will have his own team when it gets more members, so he's in perfect position for killer IC stuff. He just needs to get some CR outside of Blade (tho the Blade stuff has a lot of cross canon as is so 8D)
I still don't know what I want to get Jr. involved with in the game ... he's a mix of magic casting/fighting with the guns/mecha piloting. But I don't want to put him in Blade because I have Yzak in Blade, and because being formally in a division like that would put a block on plot stuff if I wanted to have him oh not in his mech but doing this down on the ground kind of things with his gunslinging and magic. But at the same time, keeping him as not really in anything makes me worry OOCly about being unwelcome in threads. Like if I wanted to toss him in the Asher for a space battle, would the Blade Squadron just welcome a random dude not in their ranks into their battle threads? And vice versa for the ground battle people? So at the mo' Jr. is just floating around, so I have to think on that some more.
And as for Dhia I'm pretty stuck, too. She's a leader and a diplomat in canon, and even if she was awake before the Council elections, I am pretty sure she would not have won it anyway. Otherwise, she has her powers and can sense things like oncoming attacks, as well as finding planets. But both abilities (on top of her diplomatic/peace making with others ones) require interaction with characters who hold power on Stacy, like the council and main leaders. And I'm honestly too scared to ask if I could join in any of that because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to force my special snowflake character into all the big things.
SO OVERALL I'M CHILL WITH T9. I still have my small problems that need fixing, but those aside I am loving the game so far and am really excited for the plot this week! With Trans I don't feel like I MISS EVERYTHING if I'm out for a few days, so am okay with my levels of play time and ehhh not really feeling up to RP time.
SABRA LA TAU
Sabra is both easier and harder to keep up with. Easier in that when I play, I always have something to do because of the team system, which makes NPCish and game happenings move at a steady pace with no real long wait times in between. But at the same time, unlike Trans, if I have small levels of not feeling up to RPing, I miss things. So it's sort of it's own double edged sword in that area. XD
That said, it's been fun recently. Meer (along with her whole team pretty much) died in the last time, and Red had to see his whole team dead in the aftermath of it. So since then I've been like WHEEEE. They both got memories this game, too, so yay. Sometimes I feel like my not-total-immersion in the game takes away from it-- I feel like I'm not as crazy into it as a lot of my teams' players' muns, so I feel bad sometimes. :x Because Corvus/Lynx is always doing THINGS and I miss out on a lot of that and I feel bad a lot that I am that teammate that who is just kind of that one who doesn't play enough when maybe someone else can take the place with a character be so much more immersed and ... around for things.
I don't feel that way about Meer quite yet. Overall she's been fun, but yeah. Not constant activity. Overall though, I like the game a lot and have my bursts, so I'm overall pretty content.
Which, all in all between the three games I am in, forms a pretty comfortable cycle. Because I'll focus on so and so for a couple of days, and if nothing interesting is happening there, I'll turn my attention over to THIS game for a couple now, and so on and so on. It's all in good fun for me in the end, so since I AM having fun, that's what matters!
YZAK (CFUD)
Like I said above, over five years in camp now ... and such stagnation ... Every time I try to play it just seems like the same old song and dance. I suppose playing him in two games isn't helping with that, but still. I hope a new character will help with this feeling, so we'll see. I don't want to say cold dead hands for him in CFUD, but at the same time, I really do NOT want to drop him. And I can't think of anything to really spice up the play. Short of getting my partner in durp (Dearka), but as much as I never shut up about whoring (and won't), I know it ain't happening and my hopefulness for any maybes in the past never bloomed so my hopes are never up anymore. XD My activity really doesn't help with anyone wanting to actually go "oh man look how awesome and out there Yzak is I want to app his bff!" on top of that. So right now for Yzak I am just, scratching my head and sighing annoyedly because I don't know what else to do with him right now. Which worries me. :(
CARLOS (CFUD)
I have not intro'd him yet, but I am looking super forward to playing him again. He is one of my soul animals, and in CFUD's setting, he is perfect. I'm excited!
YZAK (T9)
I am loving Yzak in T9. He's comfortably in the Blade Squadron, second in command and getting his own team to mirror the JULE TEAM!!11! when more people join (and one of those people is going to be Duo Maxwell) so I could not be happier for that. And his interactions with Kira are SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY because of how much Yzak GRUMPS AT and dislikes him but ... doesn't exactly really but yeah no Kira you are so annoying!!! And really giving canon the finger for never doing anything with them so nyah we can do it and we can do it COOLER THAN YOU!! Yzak is gonna get tossed around in the STEVE MUTATING PLOT, so that will be fun! He has a lot of sweet non-canon CR, so I hope this branches him out a but more on that front during this plot. \o/ T9 is a fresh and new place to play Yzak in ways I couldn't do in CFUD (CFUD has mech now, but it's still hardly a focus at all and T9 is all about the preparing to fight and training). So I am loving it lots and have no intent to stop anytime soon.
DHIANEILA (T9)
Dhia's had a small kick in activity recently, but if the idea of semibackburners applied more to T9, she'd probably fit there. I love playing her, but like I said in the game SOTU, I feel kind of stuck with her and don't want to force her into things if other players don't want it (especially if it might seem like I am just TRYING TO GET IN ON THE BIG THINGS!!1!) but in the meantime she's been pretty fun with what she's done. She had a power overload to help another character, so the clash of abilities in the game is interesting so far. So I am comfortable with not doing SO MUCH!! with her.
GAIGNUN JR. (T9)
I can't not play my tiny red-headed midget so after his glorious CFUD reign died down, I knew it was time to drop him there. And after playing in T9 with Yzak I just went "oh yeah have to app Jr. here now." He's been so much fun to play and I really REALLY want to toss him out to more people. SO MANY PEOPLE! With Jr. I just feel this obligation to have him make as many friends as possible especially because he's a friendly guy and I just love going into the Xenoverse with him. So yes, loving playing him so much right now and need to kick up the HARASSMENT OF OTHERS.
RED XIII (SABRA)
Really I just love Red and and am a hooker for the non-human characters in a lot of canons, so I had to play him somewhere (after apping at Sabra it was a matter of let's see how I like this game and if I'm chill he's leaving CFUD). But he is so much fun to play at Sabra. Though like I said in the game SOTU I feel bad sometimes for not being that super active immersed teammate like everyone else, but I try the best I can to join in on things. Despite Red being one of my slightly weaker links, I have no close to drop links at this time, so soooo not dropping him.
MEER (SABRA)
I finally apped her somewhere! In a place where she'll get even more mindfucked about her identity. I AM A GREAT PERSON. So far I've had a blast with her, and am having super fun. It's easier and harder for her in terms of activity because her team isn't always on at the same time, so there is slightly less TEAM DOING SOMETHING SUPER OFTEN, but at the same time ... sometimes I miss times when we do have team hijinks. BUT I TRY MY BESSSSSSSSSST and we are doing things this week, so I am happy about that!
SO OVERALL IF I HAD TO MAKE A LIST...
Yzak(T9) = Jr. > Meer = Carlos > Red = Yzak(CFUD) = Dhianeila
But the end of that list isn't anything close to resembling a "drop" at all, SO!! (tho that might change for Yzak if Carlos' CFUD stuff doesn't help rekindle that oomph)
