I vote #1 for the rp posts. It's too easy for ooc banter to get out of hand and veer into territory having nothing to do with the rp. It would also give those posts more "realism" if we just let the characters speak.

On the other hand, it would be nice sometimes to comment on awesome writeups or visuals as the rper, although that could be done through IM, PM, or personal journals as well. Also, if someone needs to use ooc to clarify (like Rabi's comment telling me that I should take strikethrough as something that was erased, not something that's visible as if my character's looking at an LJ comment) then that's useful.

It's not too big a deal, though. #2 would be a fair compromise.

Komurin will be good for an introductory mini-arc! After that, it'll depend on what characters we have. At some point I'd love to have Central do something nefarious, but that would require more characters with that allegiance--and it would work better if everyone in the Order has time to bond first. There are always missions, of course...

Ah okay, thank you for your vote! ♥ I'd love to see what others think too before making a final decision (:

Was it the one where are_late said for the purposes of the conversation to imagine that what Lavi cancelled out is cancelled out, and shouldn't be seen by Link? Yup, I think those are useful, so I don't quite mind them.

Oh Komurin, see what a plot-mover you are? Hoshino used you to fill in the gaps too, you precious thing *Komui and Komurin = OTP* Hee, Central being nefarious would be pretty awesome! But like you said, for that we'd need, mm...I think we'd definitely need a Lveille RP-er for one, at the very least. Missions I will reserve until we decide to venture out of the Order, since that might need a separate interface/community. So anything that works within the Order would be best ♥

Hmm, running through the manga chapters in my head, there are a fair few things that happened within the Order...Komurins not withstanding, the Level 4 attack was a pretty major incident. The Black Order Party in the novel 8D *continues to

Hopefully more votes will come in soon. Also, my vote for #1 isn't that strong, because I can see a lot of instances where players would want to give/receive rper commentary, or clarify something, or encourage rpers to get involved. So my vote is for people to be reasonable and keep it to a minimum. And not talk about random stuff.

Yes, that comment! That kind is helpful.

Komurin~ <3

A Central plot would work better later on. There's already enough enmity as it is, and that can simmer awhile. >D A Leverrier rper would be awesome, but perhaps unlikely. If necessary, we could use the assumption that there were orders from Central.

There are plenty of things that could happen in the Order, indeed. Thinking up stand-alone entries that are fun to respond to can help, too.

Btw, I wanted to let you know that my family will be in town this Friday--so if an event's held then, I'm not sure I can make it (unless it's pretty late at night my time). :(

Yep! aorin107 and harmony283 replied, yay! ♥

Also, don't worry about not being able to reply immediately! Most likely if the event starts it should be pretty late your time, so I think maybe you might be able to participate? In any case we're still getting accounts set up, so I doubt it'll start quite so soon (:

Math homework isn't fun, so I shall comment here instead~

I like the Komurin idea, definitely, because it's something that can be slightly goofy/etc and it is certainly something that'll help out at least at the start XD then we can lead to deeper things later on :3

*still needs to get the hang of Allen* but I'm trying, oh yes x.x

For the OOC thing--I agree with symbolism_egg, while it NEEDS to be regulated, so it doesn't end up as complete spam, it might also be helpful (considering also, like--I'm new to this. so if someone who isn't new to this, needs to nudge me in the right direction right then, then I'd like for them too XD)

so yeah--I gave you my input so it isn't lonely in here >.< *pets sad puppy dog face* but now I must go back and do math homework. x.x

err..meant "if someone who IS new to this" not isn't XD *kills typo*

D: Math homework is never fun, ack.

Yup! The deeper stuff will come in as we get our feet wet with this RP XD And if we have more characters it's more likely than not that the complexity and depth will increase, heh XD

Oh don't worry, you'll get it! And if you need any help you can ask around :]

Mmkay, thanks for your vote dear ♥ Yeah, the exchange between are_late and symbolism_egg about the strike-outs was useful, and I definitely won't go ballistic over that XD

*is petted* Yup, not lonely now! And all the best for math! It'll be done eventually!

*I'd like to apologise beforehand if I end up commenting with the wrong journal. Still not used to switching accounts*

Uhm, right! I don't want to sound like a herded sheep, but I do agree with symbolism_egg's comment regarding OOC. It's all too easy for things to get out of hand but at the same time, I won't want to restrict players as well (right, because if I had my way, I'd totally spend half the time apologising to everyone for snarky posts and the other proclaiming my love for the awesomeness that's taking place). Choice #2 seems fair enough but I'm sure we can be lenient even if #3 occured (in situations like Lavi's comment about the struck out text ( ... )

Nope don't worry! You're in your personal account :D

Hee, thank you for your vote! Currently it seems like most people are along the "no OOC, but allow for helpful comments/allow in subject title". Haha, the fusion of the options XD

IF KOMUI HAS HIS WAY, HE'LL DESTROY WHAT HE PERCEIVES AS USELESS PAPERWORK :D :D :D Heh, in any case people will certainly be united against Komurin, that's for sure ♥ Oh, action posts do work a little differently from journal posts, so it's perfectly understandable if you react a little more slowly. Just think of it as something almost like fanfiction, but in an RP-context where you can't predict anyone's moves except your own (:

(By the way, the Komui player is currently looking at her pile of schoolwork, so email replies will have to take a little while I'm afraid >.<)

Thank you dear ♥ But yay, I have good news to report! I'm no longer stressed because I've got the players in place :D Will tell more in an update/edit!

*just took forever trying to figure out which link to click to reply to entries* @___@ I... am terrible.

I definitely like the idea of the Komurin, because, like you said, it'll give us all a chance to get the hang of things. And, yeah, to work out any kinks that are gonna end up popping up, haha.

As far as OOC goes, I agree that it can throw off the flow of the roleplay, so I'd go for the first option there. I know that if I find something super awesome happening in the roleplay that I want to talk about OOC, I'll probably just end up mentioning it in this journal, in one of my entries. I have to agree with symbolism_egg that small moments of OOC, to clarify things to the other roleplayers, are justified and probably wouldn't derail the roleplay too much.

Aaaaand... yes. :) That's my two cents.

Ah ha, no worries! 8D

Mmkay, more approval for Komurin and for Komui to run rampant! :D :D :D

Ahh okay, thank you for your vote, dear! ♥ Once I have Miranda and Tokusa settled I'll tinker with the rules a little for the OOC things, since I haven't mentioned it there yet :]

Thank you for your view, dear! Hope you have fun with Lenalee's LJ~~~
