You know how this all could have been excuted perfectly and been done over and over and over again and still have as much fun? Npcs. I'm telling you guys, it'll be well worth it and have a much better outcome, and still be fun, probably more fun since there will be no mess ups or awkward pauses while typing lines and such.

Didnt Elly just say one of the problems was the audience, they honestly need the play to be watched, on the second showing Stephan ran in and yelled "Admins suck balls", having NPC's would fix one problem but leave another.

Higbey 11-14-2011 03:26 AM

Using npcs the play could be scripted to just be back to back, always showing. So new players could see it and it wouldn't be so laggy and crowded as time went on, it would be permanent, almost like a little built in cutscene.

Trigger 11-14-2011 03:44 AM

The improvs were fun. Using npcs removes the player aspect of it. Which is one of the reasons I even started this. Like I've said before, players. Later on we can make a movie theater.

Movie theaters ftw. Definitly have that happen.

Higbey 11-14-2011 10:40 PM

i agree, id find it with npcs more fun and efficent. you could change it in a shorter period of time, have to constantly going to its not so crowded and laggy, and maybe inspire players to make plays up that can be turned into movies if staff likes said play alot.

plus if you want a more player involved thing id sugest a war thing, without guilds, made so if more than 15 players join then the group is split into 3 teams, and a big multiroomed arena where the group fights and the group with the most enemy pks by the end of the time limit win. kinda like a war version of ctf, with 3 teams, and no guilds, it would be fun, especially if there was a actual profitable reward for winning.

or you could make it so the rewards for ctf was raised so it would be actually efficent and fun to make money via ctf.

making these iniatives and rewards would mean more players would participate in war zone and ctf, and would make it actually fun to battle and ctf, without any guild stuff being attached to it so no guild could monopolize the war arena.

id suggest something like boat racing or horse racing, but i cant see how to get it to work seeing as someone could memorize any obstacle course sort of track, and if it was one of those tap button to go faster systems someone could just mod their ipod or pc to do it superhumanly fast.

All these just shows the stupidity of you all. If you knew the facts about what actually happened, then you should be able to rant; but like always all you players go by poor assumptions and stupid remarks.

But its their opinion. You can't just call them stupid. Some do have a point

Quote:

Lets put it this way, 1. The audience was extremely rude in the play, crowding around the front end and spamming emotes, spamming bombs, and shooting arrows to purposely lag them out
Not to sound cruel but in all seriousness, why didn't you make the zone limit these rules? don't say its impossible because it is possible. You can make the entire murder mystery theater zone disable bombs, arrows, swords, horses, items, etc. Plus again, you should have spaced out the closest seats from the play so the lag won't occur at all. You could have done this but you claimed to had short times on your hands but which again i may sound cruel, you had plenty of time to do it.

Quote:

2. The short period of time that we were given to make this happen
Actually, that was about 1-3 weeks. That was plenty of time. No offense.

Quote:

3. There were MANY part switches, you all just cant blame it on Tucker; think about it, why would I switch someone out when we had only a couple days left to practice and bring someone else in that doesn't know the line, know where to go, and just bail out last minute just like 90% of the people did.
Still its the responsibility of each play member to know and act the play. We're not acting for professional expectations but at least we need to have each of your cast know each of the roles.

Quote:

I don't see any logic and sense in any of your rants or arguments. Short amount of time, extremely rude audience, materials were given to us late which went into short time to practice, and some un-reliable cast members (note that I used SOME). This was the first play, the first try at this; you peoples expectations are too high for what it should have been. It's an iPhone game, not an Xbox or Ps3, take it down a notch and give credit to those who actually tried and put effort into it instead of showing your age... In this case very young.
Seriously... Stop trying to defend this play like the rest of the cast.. Trigger has a point.. This wasn't the best idea for an event... it didn't really have effect on the audience and/or it didn't have any co-operation with the audience. As said by most people (which you ignored and decided to post a useless rant yourself), The play was good for a first timer. Many had huge expectations considering all the time you had in your hands. 1-3 weeks was more than enough.

Sadly, im sure you are gonna try to put up an excuse with the life thing. Inexcusable! You came up with the play. You had to make sure what you were doing and that you got it all done the way it is. Saying that you didn't had alot of your times in your hands is considered a poor excuse in saying why the play was bad. You hired a cast and you expected each of them to know their lines.. Don't lie with me Elly... You wanted higher expectations than we did..

However, i have no reason to insult the play. it was a good start and you guys had fun with it. The only thing i have to go against is you and the cast defending with such inexcusable reasons (Little time, One person screwed up, etc.)

You're posts are really long in stuff, but really they just say the same thing and lack very much intelligence. Sorry, just saying. Use smaller words and write less, it's not an essay.

They're long because they're descriptive.
If all you're gonna do is skim through the posts and say something you don't really know what you're replying about, that clearly shows you lack intelligence.

For once, just read the god damn posts without skimming

I am borderline ADD. ADD is attention deficit disorder. This makes it hard for people to read, be organized and stick to one thing. Most people with ADD or ADHD are very compulsive. People with ADD are known to get bad grades, get into fights and make poor decisions. This doesn't fully mean those with ADD cannot accomplish great things. Many famous and well-known inventors have been diagnosed with ADD.

Anyways I would like to talk about skimming now. Skimming is the process of were the milk has the fat or 'cream' removed from the top of it. This makes it less fattening, although for younger people or skinnier people homo (100% milk) milk is the best to drink. Milk comes in different varieties of forms, for example 2%, 100% and 0%. There is also the term skimming when a person reads something but doesn't pay very much attention to the entire thing. This can cause them to miss or not understand important things in the writing.

So basically I think you should not make stuff so long. Making stuff long is not good. Not good is bad. Bad is not good. Bad has been known as nothing being good since the beginning of time. Those who are bad may be punished or end up hurting themselves. Hurting yourself or being punished is not good. That is bad. Thank you for taking the two hours to read this.

Higbey 11-16-2011 03:15 AM

im sorry, i should have known to make a sparks note version of everything i say for those with ADD. /sarcasm.

live with it and get past it, ive got alot of things that they arent even sure about, heck i might be the only documented case of some of these types of mental problems,
not alot of people know how to help me,

°Seeker99 11-16-2011 03:41 AM

I don't actually have ADD. It's just my excuse because some online internet survey said I was lol.

Here we go again...
Saying you're ADD doesn't really support the fact that you've could have read it a little and actually know what we're talking about..

Ill bold in the short thing of what i said to ellybelly:
He pretty much claims that everyone had short time on their hands for the play, which was 1-3 weeks (thats plenty of time btw). He also said that we're all the blame for the play, which clearly they could have easily fixed all the issues he just explained. People said it was okay for a first time play but him and the cast think we're all hating on it too much. It was fun making a play and it was great for them but they can't come here and get pissed at us for not solving these easy problems within the play.

Now who could have known people were going to spam the play?-Looks around- Oh yeah that's right a lot of people have pointed that out before the play was released myself included.Next time if your going to do a play go with NPC's like higbey has recommended.

Still wouldn't help really. It still will lag due to the amount of players in the room. Even 30 makes you lag hard

The idea is you can't have npcs lag out, plus npcs can do the play over and over endlessly so all players can see it, If players know they can just watch it later it won't be as laggy.

Rezon 11-16-2011 10:50 PM

Player to Player RPS gambling, make it happen.

They need to do something out of the ordinary with it instead of having people just type lines. Needs to involve some action with some baddies or traps or something.
