AS seen above, serious RL events occurre.d Not long afetr I left everyone know I was restarting, but I had set back. To be clear, we haven't started. I haven't even set start date. I was working on a map. For what I assume was the delay, this user wanted to convince me not to make map. they wanted to start. I explained I was not ready. I explained I was enjoying making the map. I explained I had OCD. But that it was still, at this point, productive and enjoyable.
The following was prior to what you see immediately prior to this post.
(About how I said something. I didn't. And meant something. I later clarified, because the original statement was vague, was not what I meant. Still, they wanted me to understand, and also, in doing so...)

get? yes. Undertstand? yes. Agree. 0%. -100%. Worry? I'm not worried. I was...not worried. There is not worry. Obsessive? yes. I have OCD. That's like saying don't blink. For like, an entire day. o_o That's the equivalent to what you're asking me not do. lol.

so we don't have to know the rest of it doesn't actually exist yet :D
This isn't the Quantum realm. I'm not a quark. Nor in any part of this. Yes, yes, in fact, actually, it does exist. I need, as a RL agent taking an action (to make the map), that requires thought, to make that. So no. No, non ,on ,no ,no. It does. It does exist. The wrodl does exist, at the very least the gerneral very superficial details, the God
s eye view. It's like a globe. I'm not even making castles. I'm just getting very superficial large scale stuff. Where one kingdom starts. Where one war general is. Where, as you say, a swamp is. Then, where there happens to be event, succrent events that your character would know about. If you say they don't, they forget. They could not subsist without knowing. It is imminently obvious. It does
not have to be explored fully. It's not obligatory, and in fact, that people explore it all, or even any of the parts they aren't inclined too. If none appeal, I guess, make another character that would be interested in exploring. It's game (as as said in the Game introduduction) that has fair bit exploration. Even if you, apolayer don't explore a section, if isn't seen the first time I GM...it will eventually be explored somewhere, by someone.. So no. You are wrong. I don't see how you think I'll be able to describe something, if I don't first think it up. I don't know what consistency you expect if i don't have record. Sure, I can wait until the last minute. I'm still doing the same thing. Procrastination is bad! :D
(About how to make quests. When I said. I'm just writing down where, and the what, generally those quests are. I'm not making quests. It's just notation. That's it. It's just so I know who and what's where. Yet, it is still read as, and replied to, that I'm making quests, as in, full fledged long hand; not short hand.

. And you might find you get some super cool plot idea from something one of our characters says or does - how we interact with each other, or with NPCs, little character traits we have and so on.
Yes, but one goes with the other. Opportunity. Adaptation. You need both. Need. Both. Need. Need. Both.
(An aaology about me making map, was like me making meal, and runnign the game, was like serveing the food)
quote:
Feel free to lay out the buffet and see what each of us chooses
*blinks* I'm not The Genie, I have to cook it. In this metaphor I have to create the recipe. In a literal sense, I have to make the map. I don't comprehend how this some leap in logic.
quote:
then go out to the kitchen and bring out whatever complements that stuff :D.
Yes. Correct. But I'm...still cooking the Buffet. Cool your heels. Grab a snickers in the form of another game. There are other games you can play as well. I'm probably not the only game you're in. If you are, ad for a GM, or surf the public boards. This is catered, if nothing else, to cater to Ryu. I wad glad to have you, but you were getting under my apron. So I'm sending you outside. If when the food is ready, and I let the whole site know, you want to eat, you have an invitation. For now, go outside, get some fresh air. I'm still cooking.
