This is kind of a TFT-only "chatroom", but it's mainly to allow us a space to discuss story ideas, concepts, rules, issues that arise from storyplot or user-errors, etc.

Anyone of us is welcome to make a fun-chat though!

I'll gladly add/alter any titles I gave, if they are true ^-^ I love giving official-looking titles xD

Jon has a lot of jobs xD

I wanna promote myself into a storywriter too XD.
I was just about to make a post to.Something we need to discuss.
Gills,you're technically the FEBI police XD.

*grabs a heaven seal*

Ace, Well, technically, we are all storywriters xD But I'm just noting that Inky, Jon and I have done more of the details on the overall story chapters, aside from regular history and individual kingdom settings. I can still add it if you really wish.

And I kinda am the FEBI Police xD for better or worse, really... Jon is my deputy xD

When the others get here, I have some matters to discuss.

Well I just don't know where the story planning is.And when.I don't even know if I've been informed either.

Ace, Oh! Well, the've mostly been on the last FEBI Chat. But I see why you weren't present at those times. Okay, well this should pose as a new story writing center, so now you can become more involved in the writing. I'll log into @Dark Gills! later to add the necessary corrections for you.

Inky reporting for duty!

Ha ha, look at at all my titles! They make me feel important!
New planning room, eh? 'Bout time. So, when do we start planning chapter four?

Hello?

Hmm...guess I'll check back in the afternoon.

Oh yeah, I'm the Q.S.O. Awesome. It sound so official when I say it like that.

@sorakh
I wouldn't say you're late, as the meeting hasn't really happened yet. How goes it?

Excuse my Alt User, I may use this from time to time.

Hey guys! This will be our HQ for the time being. I'm going to add #TFT to this so it's easy to get to. I'm not going to put #febi or anything of that sort, because I'd like this to be close to just us.

We still need Amby!

Actually scratch that, you can easily type in just TFT and this will pop up!

@sorakh
Reciting a reference, eh? I see.

@Gills, or Dark Gills, whichever is there at the moment
So we need to wait for AmbyChu before we start planning?

I would assume so. I could try telling her through Miiverse if she doesn't show up.

Guys,Mivverse is down.

Hotline bling.

The gangs all here! Now, where to begin?

We need to discuss Regalia weapons.

Alright, where to start? We've kind of established that the legendary weapons and Regalia are two separate things; but Mr. Productions has already pointed out that we only have 5 potential axe users. Most of the FE:BI characters are sword wielders if I'm not mistaken.

You'll have to excuse me, since I don't have much experience with most of the older games, and their lore. (No I'm not looking it up. I'm planning on playing most of them at some point)

Hey guys, I come up with some parallel ideas if you want to read them. It's really messy right now however. I just want to see if you guys like any chunks of it and want to make it canon.

I still think we should have 1-2 of each.
Just because they exist doesn't mean it has to be used.Most of Elibe's legendary weapons weren't used in FE:7.
That said,we still have enough people that can use them.

@Kirby:I want to hear it.

I saw it.Its pretty good.

I don't think there should be a bunch of legendary weapons tbh. Having too many wouldn't really make them "special" if you get what I mean.

I agree with Amby, we don't need a ton of special weapons, though I appreciate Ace's proposal to make more cool weapons, I think it might just be an extra bunch of work that won't be fully appreciated or used..

I'd like to read what you have for parallel stuff, Amby!

Oh, I have to bring to attention something regarding a possible rule-breaker.

We also need to write Ch4 sometime. Which I have a rough pitch for.

@Sorakh, cool! Thanks for letting me know :b

I know what you mean,but you guys are kinda contradicting yourselves.
There are three lances...
We don't have an Axe.
And half of them could belong to the Parallel world.

@Gills
I made a rough pitch for the next chapter as well. You can find it on the Xenologue Conversation, but I can bring it up here if you prefer.

@Ace, Hm... well I see your point there. But Indigo was going to use Argentair at one point, but if it's no trouble, I can make a family axe-type that Indigo's DAD used? He was going to be a Hector-looking guy anyway.

@Jon, sounds good. So Devina and Argon bump into the FEBI army in a neighboring town, and Tybalt sends forces to get Devina (and Argon) back, insuing a fight.

My additional pitch is, that at leadt Indigo is not available in Ch4, as his injured state is still severe at this point. Inky can decide if Oriale gets better or she's down too. Acen would be the leading lord. I can play some baddies or enviromental stuff!

@Gills
I like how you said that. "I can play environmental stuff."
Anyways, that works for me, but it'd seem that Ms. Brush and Ace would offer the most important opinions.

Well the tomes could be seals to the parallel world.Oh,but wait.This world never had contact with the parallel world until now.

@Ace I didn't say couldn't make more weapons. I ment that we shouldn't make TOO many.
Would Yuki and Vivi's weapons be concidered legendary if they're a link to the door?
Also Yuki's weapon is a sword while Vivi's is a hammer btw.(She's super slow because of it.)
Also we could give the parallels their own special weapons. Similar to Lucina and Chrom's main weapons.

That's right.
Well he have a legendary Ace ladies and gentlemen.

*We*
*weapon*
Autocorrect is relentless

@Jon, Was there something different in what I said there?

And yes, Ace and Inky would get more leading, which is exactly my aim.

Ace and Amby, I can make an axe from Indigo's dad. Maybe Argentair could've been used from Indigo's mom? all 3 would be family heirlooms, and Duciel just happened to sync with Indigo most. Well, along with Delaterre and whatever Jaden has...

@Jon, oh wait, "most important opinions" what do you mean?

@Gills:So are those Divne weapons or just Regalia?

@Gills
When you said that, I pictured you dressing up as a tree or a bush and just standing there throughout the chapter. It reminded me of that cartoon trope where some kid gets stuck with playing as a piece of the background in a school play, and I found it funny to hear you volunteer for a part like that.

@Gills
When I said they offer the most important opinions, I meant that since the idea directly involves their characters, they'd need to have the most say in the proposition. I could agree all I want, but you'd need those two to finalize it.

@Ace, Regalia. Honestly, I don't think even Duciel is legendary. It'd become legendary after the events of FE:BI, but it's a magic-infused family heirloom.

Maybe it's legendary from Father Valon, but I doubt that'd make sense, since he was mostly dragon, not a sky-sword wielder xD

@Jon, oh! xD Yeah, I meant more like things breaking, wind blowing, trees falling, idk xD

or... y'know... me in a tree suit.

xD

I'm making some funny comics on Miiverse, called Smash Bruhs! Based on my series I /started/ here, #SmashBruhs, but never took off cuz of save-space/time/detail :D

Oh yeah, I remember that. I think I pointed out the lack of feet. I'll have to check those out sometime (using Witzke's account, of course)!

It'd make more sense if Duciel was legendary.What's FE without divine weapons?

Because without it what would the lore revolve around.

@Jon, I can make a comment online with the link to it, cuz I think you can still view it outside of logging in!

@Ace, um... legendary people? We can be a bit more unique I think. We don't need a huge backstory of legend for the weapons, but we can emphasize the legendary figures.

The weapons can be more like symbols left by the legends, to be used to forge a path for the new generation (the current FEBI cast)

I'd rather build upon the characters' strengths, than owing it to legendary weapons.

Sure they have powers in the weapons, but wouldn't it be cool to make them legendary because of Acen, Oriale, Zona, Amber and Indigo's adventures of heroism?

Yeah but I really wanted to at least have that.It would really suck for Solais to be nothing more than a fancy piece of metal.
I personally feel that legendary weapons should still have a huge role in this.
The older FE games used people and the weapons as a backstory.The whole point is to surpass the historical figures.For example:Marth surpassed Anri,Roy surpasses Harmut,etc.

I think the characters shouldn't start of with the legendary weapons though.I think we should

-I think part of the RP should be to gather the weapons once we discover the main threat.Once the weapons are gathered everyone's morale goes up causing the rallied spirits to be the Fire Emblem.

I think they should be special but not in the traditional way. Remember, other people are in this RP too. If we just always took the lead just because our weapon is legendary it would be kind of boring.
Anyways P. Amber's weapon has links to the parallel door. I think if they we sort of like that they would still be story important. Also searching for the weapons would be kind of interesting too if they were near or far from spots like that.
And as Gills said this would make them really legendary because we made them so. Also remember the possibilities for this RP is infinite. We could have secret hidden weapons if you know what I mean. Who ever finds them could have interesting results. They could be similar to DLC items if we gave them out during some sort of contest.
Oh yeah and btw I thought it would be cool if there were FEBI drawing contests. I think it would help flesh peoples characters even more and be fun. Of course in the future though because we still have a lot on our plates right now.

That's why we needed two of each,that way not only the lead cast gets them.
I would still prefer it for the weapons to at least be traditional in that way.

I remember my dad telling me something like this, that the hero in a story should stand out because s/he prevailed themselves, not because they just had some special sword. I was making a character, and a magic sword at the time, and Imwas saying to him how I had to make the sword cool znd magical, but he gave me that answer, and he was totally right.

I'd like Duciel, Solais, etc. to be special, but not legendary. Legendary means they already had some kickass story before, and like Amby said, that'd put the lords into a kinda OP realm compared to others.

They should be well known in their respective families, but not like, legendary, imo, they should be legendary after the gang's trials, from their blood, sweat, and tears.

By all means, Ace, you can make Solais legendary, but I'm not sure how much better that'll make it.

And I want them to be the key to the fire emblem! Together, fully powered.

So let me get this straight; Gills and Dark Gills want to put emphasis on the Royals without the giving the weapons a special legend, but instead want to have the legends created through the course of the main story, while Ace wants the weapons to be legendary from the start and have some sort of historical significance other than being a family weapon.
Why all this fuss, anyway? Why have the weapons be legendary at all? Why not give the weapons a fate similar to that of the Runesword, where the weapon itself is different than any other of its kind, but no one considers it all that special or legendary?

No,I don't want to be above others.That's not the point.The point was to add some history into this.For the cast now to surpass their ancestors.A legendary weapon doesn't make a character.It's the journey that made them worthy of wielding it.A legendary weapon provides a reason to give history of the setting.

@Jon:It's a debate not an argument XD.Sorry if we seem to be so heated about this.

Just because a weapon is legendary,it doesn't mean it's all powerful either.Take the Falchion and the Three Regalia for example.Those weapons are much stronger than Falchion.Falchion was just important to the story and had more history than the three Regalia,which are just extremely powerful weapons.

I thought their ancestors were dragons. Why would dragons need mortal weapons anyway?

They can still take human form.

Plus, what would they have used them to overcome anyway? I say the weapons were specially forged for some grand purpose, but never realized that purpose and their powers were lost in time (in other words, everyone forgot). No one in the modern day thinks much of them aside from being family treasures, but at some point, they discover the power and use the weapons to realize the purpose that they never could.
That way the weapons can be special, but not so much as to overshadow the main characters importance.

Hmmmm.Jon.Sometimes I wonder why I didn't know you sooner.You could have been an awesome lord.Im glad you're here to help us out with this but this is a pretty cool compromise..But will we discover some of the continent's history?I really prefer for there to be predecessors instead of our characters being the first heroes.
I think we had the basic story outline on a different post.

A nice lord, eh? Technically, I don't need to be a lord to help develop the story, and that's why I'm here.
Hmm, if I recall correctly, the main cast aren't the first heroes. The first heroes were the ones to beat the dragons into submission, which doesn't really put the majority of the lords in a position to obtain any sort of legendary sword of a past conquerer.

Either that or I'm thinking of my rejected idea.

But the dragons our characters descended from sides with the humans.They created the weapons to use against the dragons without using their dragon form.

Oh yeah, that happened.

Still proves my point: The main cast wouldn't the first heroes. Hey, that's your point too, isn't it?

I just realized that the Royals' weapons are super-effective against themselves. Parallel Land is gonna be one heck of a fun time, what with parallel versions of the weapons and all. Or are we not doing that?

But I was worried about it being changed.That's why.

I think the parallel's should have a skill to reduce the damage they take from any weapon.

Indigo wishes to be like his father, and the ancestrial Dragonfather, Valon. But neither used Duciel. I agree on your point, and I also meant this too, for them to have not been or be the "first heroes", but I still think their weapons don't need to be legendary. I have no story for Duciel... none. Valon never used it, because he was a dragon, and compared to Xalys (the hero), he was the more draconic one (in forme), so he never used man-made (or humanoid) tools. Indi's dad used an axe, and I'm not making a figure between them that did use it.

Here, how about Sir Xalys (had had) forged both Solais and Duciel, hoping to use Solais in the Dragon/Man War, and giving Duciel to his [brother], Valon. however, Valon dismissed using the sword as he wished to try to stop the war within the dragon's side (ala Nohr) and to Valon, using a man-made tool would have triggered a negative response in his opinion, yet Xalys still held onto it for future keeping, later giving it to him permanently after the war as a victory gift.

This will make them "legendary", satisfying you, but leaving, for Indigo, no major historical significance, and thus satisfying me.

This can be dis/agreed upon by Inky, Amber, and Sora too, as they must have similar stories.

Well, there you have it; one is a weapon with a historical significance, while the other never realized it's purpose!
I never understood why a shapeshifter would need a weapon anyway.

@Gills:That's a very good compromise.
I'm sorry for being stubborn.
@Jon:They can go mad if they stay in their dragon/beast form for too long.

@Ace, Cool! But we need Inky/Amby/Sora to be part of that too.

Well, full-blooded dragons don't go crazy. Tiki looks fine and she can be dragon. But that's why P.Indigo is a wack nut, cuz he's half human xD

I'm gonna write that Valon was a calm, reasoning dragonskin, like, he nary did go into humanoid forme unless on rare occasions.

Actually Tiki is only fine because the Fire Emblem suppress her dragonic urges.Canonly,she's stronger than Naga,maybe even Grima.

Plus she was put to sleep so her power doesn't go about id control.

This all sounds good so far.
I think Corazons of War should be a symbol weapon. Not actually used a weapon before. Lady Palmalia made it in a time needing hope and love. Thus, "hearts of war". No other group really cared about it except hers.(She used her beast form more than Amber most likely.) So it's really special only to Palmalians than anyone else.

I agree with Amby, this works out pretty well! (Sorry I missed all of it)

My idea so far is that Lady Avia didn't participate in the war as much as the other lords did, and only used a staff in case people came to the safe haven wounded. She eventually was forced to join the war after her home was found, and forged Alisius so she could defend herself. It has since been passed through the generations.

So we have so far;

Solais, legendary blade used by the hero, Sir Xalys the dragonskin, in defense and aiding the humans in the Dragon/Human War

Duciel, symbolic blade forged to aid Dragonfather Valon in his attempt to quell the dragons' rage.

Corazons of War, defensive symbolic bow crafted (by/for) Lady Palmalia

wait, I forgot the name of Avia's staff. Is it a healing staff or a healing-lance?

[[[Atrus' TBD]]]

(forgot these)

Duciel was also never used by Valon.

Corazons of War was crafted to bring hope and a peaceful moral in the time of quarrel from dragons and men.

Oriale's 'staff', Alisius, is a lance, and Avia's second treasure is a staff which still naming/designing.

Okay, so at the request of Shad, I should probably bring this up:
When is a good time to start chapter 4?

Ok.

Hmm.Good idea.This is my last week of school,but I don't have class on Friday.

@Ms. Brush
It's ABOUT TIME someone brought this up! I'll be busy until the weekend (or Friday at the earliest) so around that time frame will work for me.

I was just about to bring that up, too xD I think this weekend, yes. Question: who's hosting it?

and will Oriale be injured or healed? Indigo is going to be down for the chapter.

So we need:
-a name for Ch4
-a host for Ch4
-a publish date (specified)
-a basic description of what's gonna happen in Ch4

Oriale's down as well. I don't think it'd be fair for Oriale to get treated while leaving Indigo injured. (Plus I thought we ran out of medicine)
Shad said she's willing to host, she just needs a date.

This sounds all good to me.

Funny how this is just the beginning of the RP and we're canonly getting our asses kicked.

We've been reNt.

@Ace
I was thinking that too. Doesn't help the heroes look like hero-material.
So, will the chapter be up by this weekend?

Also, random question:
Have any of you guys played a little game called "Runbow" before?

@Mr Productions: Ive been meaning to ask the same question. We just need to get planning done today if we want it to be up, and we'd need the others' input as well.
Hm, I think it rings a bell.

If Shad can have it up by Saturday, that may work for most of us. I'll be busy in the early day, but toward night I may be totally free, though Indigo is not exactly present anyway cuz he's unconsious (however you spell that), so you guys can start without me!

Yeah, but the Cloaked threat was supposed to be dangerous and powerful, plus Oriale was on-foot, out of her realm. Indigo was being herioc, a bit too much cuz he got massively wounded xD He was taking his job as "leader" a bit too seriously.

I played the demo of Runbow. It's that multiplayer game with the colored runners, and surprise inclusions of Commander Video, Shovel Knight, etc. It was okay, but not my cup of tea

So whenever is good for me.

Shad or anyone else can name the chapter

She's planning to get it up in the afternoon tomorrow. All we need now is a basic plot.
So here's what I'm piecing together- Since Oriale and Indigo are heavily wounded, the group heads to another village to find medicine. In the meantime, they run into Argon and Devina. Soon Tybalt shows up with his wyvern riders to rescue the two. Of course, a fight ensues. That about right?

Oriale took her worst injury defending Indigo, so there's that.

Yes, however I think something else should be added to the plot, although, additional crap usually comes up in the RP anyway xD

No but seriously, I think something before the fight should happen, so it's not just boring "we're traveling to another town again, for medicine, again, oh we got attacked.... again"

I have something planned for IN the battle scene, though, so it's not just dodging arrows and stabbing at baddies

Yeah. Maybe we could start the chapter directly after Oriale and Indigo collapse, (or where we ended) and go from there. Then we get extra tension/drama/plot/etc.

Yeah, either works for me as long as whichever helps the story most, and the fun!

Chapter four is up!

Shad was kinda going off of the description for chapter 3.. I'm sure there's a better way to phrase that, as you're implying she doesn't know what she's doing. You have to give her props for doing it on such short notice.
Okay, enough defending Shad.
The requirements work, but if it's a non-Forever Team member, they likely wouldn't know what the info for that chapter is. So, we'd need to contact them somehow.
Plus, I don't think the info is to crucial to how long it takes, since Chapter 3 had a lot of stuff going on at once, plus we have to find time to do this outside of our schedules.

This is why it's important to attend the meetings held here, as much of the plot is formulated by the discussions.
Not sure if this will help, but what if the first member that gets to the RP room does a little recap and then puts up an overall objective for the chapter?
Afterwards, the room host can just copy/paste the info into the description.

( @Jon, that's definitely okay, I'm glad you skipped me cuz I want this to move more than for me to play a merch xD Also, SO SORRY I was busy yesterday. When I got back, I played SmileBASIC and Smash with Red instead of coming here...

I will point out that the #febirp tag is mainly to organize the RPs for archiving. Every RP should have the #febi main tag, always. Anything Febi, especially RPs, should have the main tag.

I know what I'm talking about, becuase I created the #febirp tag xD)

Hey guys I'm back! Sorry for the haitus.

okay we need to discuss ch5's general setting.

I toss the idea that they go to a port (classic) and need to travel over a river or lake to proceed, obviously they get attacked. Ch6 could be either them on the boat (though a river or lake shouldn't take long to pass so idk if that'd work for a whole chapter) or them docking at the port across (which if the former is decided, ch7 could be this)

It's not just crossing a river what if it's part of the route? I like the boat idea tbh.

I'm going to sleep.Goodnight

Ohh Ace you have a point. I was just thinking to go straight from one side to the other, but it could be going DOWN the river, northward to Avia's capital (we could say it's a faster or quieter route than going by land)

Goodnight, ace!

Thanks for the heads up!
I'll be gone most of the day, but I can catch up later!
Hm, a sailing chapter, eh? I can put Argon's nautical knowledge (and pirate speak) to use now! Shiver me timbers, hoist the sails and what-not!

I'm really lost on what's happening in the story right now tbh.

Okay well Ch5 would not be a riding-the-boat level, it'd be the GETTING a boat level type, at least my pitch for it.

Amby, so far, the group has travelled together through the forest and into a village, gotten attacked by hooded parallel minions, and Indigo and Oriale were critically wounded. They travelled to another town and booked at an inn for the group and looked for medicine for the two royals. Marauders came and attacked and then there was a fight (which gained 5 new allies and the marauders lost). Indigo was healed and Oriale given better treatment, and now we are trying to figure out what to do next.

and now we need to discuss letting Time Paladin making a Serpent-beastshifter. We declined the Gecko, remember?

I wasn't against the geko laguz tbh.
I'm in favor of either of both.

*or*

OOPS, my bad! I see what you're going for now that I read your comment again! It'd be like the level in 7 where you battle Fargus and his crew in order to get permission to use his ship.

Extra shifting classes, eh? Well, for one, don't let the design or the person create a bias. The main factor that should play into this decision is how flexible we want classes to be. For example, what would be the deciding factor(s) that determine whether a shape-shifter is a "valid" animal? Would a pteranodon be just as valid as a generic Heron?
We should first determine the specific requirements of a "valid" race before we go any further.

One way to more easily decide this is to figure out what kind of animals WOULDN'T work and why, then we can narrow down the deciding traits.

Pteranodon? Heron? Sorry I don't know what those mean.

Honestly, I think to allow both, without confusing people with all of these different animals, is to make a BASE classification. Both Gecko's and TP's designs are REPTILIAN, so we could make them both considered a sub-species called something like "Reptius" (like Laguz) and it's just anything reptilian. So anybody can freely make a snake, gecko, alligator, whatever, as long as it fits within the rest of the CoC, and call it a "_______ Reptius"

Yay or Nay?

Yeah,I was going to suggest something like that.

@Gills
Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't know about the Radiant games.
The Heron is the base class for bird morphs, and by pteranodon, I mean the flying dinosaur.
To rephrase it in a more appropriate way, would a T-Rex be just as valid as a snake in your proposed "Reptilus" class?
Also, doesn't that technically cause manaketes to automatically fall under that category as well?

My mistake, "ReptIUS" class.

Well Manaketes are different.

They're usually considered divine.
I have to go to work,later.

Hmm, like here's the thing.
I think there's enough beast classes as there is. However, there's, "Anerjica is a whole new land" as a counter argument.
I don't want it to be confusing and jumbled with a whole bunch of new beast classes nobody's ever heard of thrown into the mix.

But the idea of sub species can work. However, I say only modern day animals. So no dodo birds or saber tooth tigers running about.

Olny "modern day" animals? Isn't having dragon morphs around violating that? Plus, I think you'll have to be careful with the way you say that, because someone could go and have a wolfskin that turns into a poodle.
I think we'll need to be more specific with the animals; I'd agree with no dodos, but I wouldn't mind a sabertooth. Besides, animal morphs get exaggeratedly vicious appearances anyway, so giving a tiger morph saber teeth doesn't seem too far out.

Typo correction:
*Only
Wow, the first word was a typo. Gotta keep my guard up, as those typos are getting sneakier by the day!

Okay well obviously the dragons are their own.

Well, I think nobody should add to the existing ones. In the canine species, there are just the existing ones (Wolfskin, Kitsune, /Laguz, right?/). in Rodents, the Taguel, etc.

So Anerjica could have JUST reptilian species and maybe one other as our "unique and exclusive to Anerjica".

So Gecko and Paladin can have Reptius characters, and then we could design or leave open for another, but that's it.

Doing this we;
A. Allow the 2 current cases of "new" beast classes to be allowed.
B. We introduce fresh, new classes to spice FEBI up.
C. We still have a limit and thus it doesn't go crazy, but still allowes creativity.

Yay or nay, in whole or in part?

Here's the thing though,they all fit under the Laguz category,Taguel's are technically Rabbit Laguz for example.
Manaketes are also Laguz yet they're different since they're considered "divine" pretty much.

Ace, I don't see your point.
But, I'm cool with Gills's idea of only adding the new "Reptius" species of Laguz; this way, we don't get too crazy with people having strange animal morphs.
I have only one question left:
Would there be any species of reptile that would be considered "out-of-the-question" and unallowed (For example, any form of dinosaur)?

What I'm trying to say is,we don't have to be super detailed with a name.A reptilian laguz is fine.
Yeah that would be ridiculous XD.

Yeah but it'd be cool to have a name with it, but it can still also be called "reptilian laguz"

Cuz we dont call it "bird laguz" or "rabbit laguz" do we?

I think dinos are out cuz tht'd be more like "devine" versions and we really dont need that considering the lords. And any super mythical reptilians too. Lizards, snakes, alligtors etc. are fine. They can have special tribes an stuff but we dont need "legendary lizards"

I guess.
Off topic but why are Nendodroids and Figmas so hard to pose XD.
Oh I'm going to make a new OC.Not many people know of this class but I want this character to be unique.The class itself is very weak,but can become powerful,Jon if you know what it is please don't say anything XD I want this to be surprising and new.

I just thought of something:
How would we handle amphibians (like frogs and salamanders), since I'm sure that, somewhere along the way, someone is going to make an amphibian Laguz and confuse it for a reptile.
Do we allow or disallow amphibians?

I was just trying to give a list of over exaggerated laguz examples. I see your point though. I just want to avoid god-modding stuff to occur.
Now I would not mind frogs or salamanders but those aren't reptiles. That's like saying a spider is an insect.
Maybe we should do a contestish like thing? Like the three most popular reptiles get picked or something like that? That way not only one person is benefiting from the new classes.(Like they're not an isolated class so like only one Geko or only one Snake.)

@Ace Lemmie guess Villager?

You mean a poll?
I want to host a contest soon.Is it ok if I host?
Nope XD,that's well known now.

That's what I mean, Amby. Though a spider is not an insect, and a frog is not a reptile, there are those who don't know the difference. We need to be real clear on that just in case we run into one of those people.

You might be on to sonething there, but I don't think we'll need a whole contest dedicated to the thought. I say we just pick which ones we'll allow here and now. Obviously snakes, but should we allow geckos only, or allow anything that would be associated with the title of "small lizard" and include other lizards like frilled lizards and bearded dragons? How far can the term "reptile" reasonably go in the "Reptius" class?

I, for one, upon seeing something like this would opt to create a komodo dragon or gila monster morph, but would that be allowed, since it's a non-dinosaur and non-mythical lizard, or do we have more specific limits on which species of reptile we allow?
It's things like that which I'm trying to get at, small factors, yet potentially big loopholes.

You guys let me know if you think I'm getting way too into this and I'll stop, but I do think that we should work out ALL the details before making a big future unit-altering decision like this. I'm just being extra careful is all.

Hm... This seems to be getting more complicating... Even if we figure out all of the loopholes, we'd have to explain all this info to everybody interested, or write a lengthly CoC type post about it...

I see your point Jon, but we already have people playing as manaketes (like Mortem) who transform into dragons and just blast fire anyway. A Gila Monster would be no worse, really.

Maybe we can just do lizards and snakes, and just say we have "Serpin" and "Lizion" (dub names here) and they are for any general style.

Even if somebody based themselves as an anaconda, or a Komodo Dragon, they'd still have to follow the CoC, so their powers would e average anyway, no matter the appearance.

Komodo dragons are venomous.
Alright, so we've got our species narrowed down (snakes and lizards, but no dinosaurs), so now we know what we're allowing and disallowing.
You guys think there's anything else that we need to do to before we close this and begin on updating the crowd?

I guess most of the loop holes have been solved. But I think we should be super clear about not accepting any other new animal classes as these two should be enough. At least for now.

Dang, seems I missed the discussion. Sorry!
I think we just need to decide what the classes will be like, or see if anyone else Is willing to.

Jon, that doesnt matter. Felicia and Flora in Fates have ice powers but cant freeze enemies in-game. Nor can any fire-users burn opponents like in pkmn. If they are "venomous", it's just a cosmetic detail.

Inky made a good point. Well, I guess they'd just be stone-user specific anyway. They'd look like snakes or lizards... They'd be comparable to other shapeshifters. Snakes probably faster and Lizards probably tougher.

So the difference is Gecko's idea cannot use axes or swords.

So should I announce it? Or should somebody else? I know I'm pretty good with announcing detailed info, like the CoC.

I could also relay the info to attention to Gecko and TP when it's published.

Well Gills, I think that since you are the one that has posted conduct-related notices in the past, and since you are the most popular one here, you should post it. That way, not only will people be more likely to view it, but it will also help to maintain a consistence, which will make things less confusing for others.

Which, might I add, will also make it less likely to be missed.
Are you okay with putting it up?

Yeah I think Gills should do it. But we should discuss how the two classes are going to function. At least mention it in the annoncement. Like just their "stats" and if they're faster, defensive or offensive as a beast form if that makes any sense.

Also I posted some more parallel stuff if you guys are interested or haven't seen it.

Yeah I will post it just give me a day or so to write it correctly.

I'll add the details too, and rules like "thats it for now" and "no frogs" etc.

And I'll see em, Amby! I'm smashing with Red atm.

Alright, now that this is settled, we can continue planning chapter five now. Right?

And the room goes dark.
I fear the original conversation has been overshadowed...

Don't worry we will get back to it.

Well, I wrote the summary for chapter four, so it's all wrapped up now! Hey, did anyone ever put up the Reptilus annoucement?

I would like to make a request to be informed on the current status of chapter five, as it has been over three weeks since it was last discussed on here, and I don't have a way to find discussions through any other social media site.

Okay, so if I remember correctly, Gills left off on wanting to have the Royals look for a town where they could get a ship. I'm assuming they get one at the end, but we'll need to set some hostile encounter for the middle part. Since the Marauders have already taken a rather brutal beating, leaving Argon to rush to the base in order to get Devina medical attention, I say this could be a good time to throw more Parallels at them. Or we could have some sort of small Bael squad attack them, but I think the Baels are beginning to dwindle.
What say you?

I'm always lost in these kinds of disscussions, so hang with me for a second.
Honestly, I can't really think of any other parallels.

It's okay, it doesn't have to any Parallel in particular, and it was only a suggestion. I'm kind of out of ideas for adversaries as well, I just figured maybe you had more Parallel guys to throw at the Royals (also, I'm not really knowledgable in the Parallel department).

Are you perhaps lost in the plot? We've created a new tag (along with a picture) for such an occasion:
#FebiSummaries, which is a collection of summaries for events that take place throughout all chapters.
If it's because of something either than that, I'd be more than happy to try and help you out if you'll let me!

I know I'm not in any place to object, but is it a necessity to have an enemy spring upon the units every chapter? I've never played the Fire Emblem games, so again excuse me if I am in the wrong, but at least to me I feel as if it has gotten a little repititive.
Again sorry : (

@gojakobii
Don't be sorry, you actually brought up a good point. I agree that it would be nice to take a break from the fights for a chapter, but then we'll need a new way to decide when the chapter ends.

Well my only parallels are Yukari and Vivian but they don't appear until the second ark.
Anyways, let's mix it up a little bit like an escort mission, defend the village or look for a specific item.(Like a medicine.)

Not sure if I'm allowed to comment here xD But, if you need a bad guy, I think I have a good idea for one!

That sounds like a good idea, Amby! The Royals could be searching for a boat vendor whilst something happens in the town, like a special event or a town brawl. Or we could hear what Witzke wants to do.

And by special event, I mean like some sort of celebratory ceremony that causes big crowds to gather or a big town market or something.

Well, my idea is that, the Royals find a ship that is for sale or "rent," and an adventurer named Larson comes in, who wants to buy the ship also. The Royals outbid him, and he leaves angerily. (Or they come to an agreement to share the ship) Later, when the Royals are ready to set sail, Larson comes back with his group of ruffians and is discovered to be a dishonest adventurere. Then he tries to take the ship for his own aned kill the royals, so they fight on the harbor.

How about a collusseum? We could have a side story of looking for the boat while the others get interested in the fights? That way people can still bond their OC's but don't have to fight in the collusseum if the don't want to.
Also I think it would be interesting to see how the characters would do fighting each other.
It could be tounament like or a brawl to see who's the strongest. That way it has an ending that we can define. Or at least when they finally find the boat. Basically, a character development chapter.
The town could see it as a huge important event. That way it weighs signifigance and not filler.

It's a win-win. For those who want to take a break from the constant fighting and for those who want to develope their character's fighting abilities.

Hm, I actually like that idea Amby! It gives the guys a break from fighting and we get to do a more laidback chapter (The Royals deserve it!) But uh, I should be going now xD I'm technically not even apart of this. Hope things go well for Chapter 5! ^ ^

Amby, I love it! I think we've found our setting for chapter five! Shall we run it by the others and see if they approve it for the final setting?

Aaa thanks you guys! Usually, I'm not the one who writes the chapters. So I wasn't sure if it was the best or not. :>

Hey, that's what we have teammates for. Speaking of which, I better run this by the others!
So you aren't usually in on chapter writing? You should really do it more, because you've got great ideas and make very good suggestions!

This is a great idea! You guys are really good at writing chapters. My vote is a yes.

The only chapter I helped write so far was the pre-chapter 1.
As I said usually I write a lot if the future ark ideas. Mainly because it's good to have them ready in mind.
I guess I'll will help write out more chapters in the future if that's the case.

I love Amby's idea, and I think we could incorporate Witzke's idea into it, too! The Royals and anyone interested can go get the ship, outbid/agree about sharing on the ship, and rally the group back to set sail. Others like Micah, Reuben, Hitoshi, etc.) can go to the arena for the tournaments! I think that would be really fun to play friendly combat, as that hasn't really been done much (I think Acen and Indigo did it once in the prolouge? Or planned to), then get rallied afterward to set sail.

Then chapter SIX can be them sail the river, and getting attacked by Larson and his gang, thus giving adventure and depth to both chapters, whilst not repeating "Baels attack the next day... again!"

Plus, any new players with unrecruited fringe types can join from Larson's crew into the royals', instead of it always being Bael defectors.

I strongly believe only the Original Four should host main chapters, btw. Because (nothing against Shad), but if anything were to happen to a particular user, say they delete their gallery, get banned, etc. We'd lose an ENTIRE CHAPTER. But the original four has had a marvelous record on their main galleries of keeping art and being on good terms with others, plus traffic is better cuz most joiners follow the leaders, or at least one.

So, Amby, I think you should host Ch5, since you haven't gotten to host yet, and you came up with the arena/tournament thing, and I think you'd do great.

(I meant to add that text to my last comment but forgot)

Does that make me excluded from hosting as well? Don't get me wrong, I'm totally okay with that, I just want to make sure that that's what you mean (I did post a chapter when you guys were in a jam that one time, so maybe I could be the backup poster or something, but again, I'm cool with only you guys being able to post).

And now the plot:
That actually sounds pretty cool, as there are now three different plots happening at once (Boat bidding, colliseum battling and the side-plot we know as Argon)! If you all agree on Gills' addition, I'll let Witzke know that Larson is a go! And chapter six? Sounds like a plan to me! Does that mean we can just get six up after five ends or are we going to need a little more planning?

I agree. Chapter 5 is sure to be a fun chapter, to say the least.
Hey, is there any specifics we could write in about the tournament? (A name, single or team battles, etc.)

Er, yes, Jon. I just think since we are the original four, we are pretty much bound to the thing. Not that I think you'd quit. But the traffic would be greater in one of our galleries (meaning better RPs, no waiting Devina and Argon, etc.). I don't mean to exclude you.

Inky has a point, we should come up with plot around the event. A name, backstory, the significance of why it's so important to the town. But not too much detail, we dont need headaches, just a little story to it besides "we leik too hav batlez" xD

And Ch6 would need more writing, since it'd be short if it was just fighting Larson.

Yeah, wouldn't want chapter 3 to happen to me again.
But you're right, there should be at least a minor significance to the tournaments. Hmm...
What if it was originally done in remembrance to a special event in the past, but it's became more of a cash-grab nowadays since it attracted people from around the continent?

*Cracks knuckles*
I got this.
So, first off, we need a name. If we're going for simplicity, how about something like the Platinum tournament? Simple and catchy imo. (Plus platinum is super durable, a quality someone would need to win.)
Mr. Productions is onto something, but should we specify what they celebrate?

Pizza! They should be celebrating pizza.

Oh, wait, that's not what this is about? Aw maaaaan!

Kidding aside, I think we should make it like a rememberance of how the town was formed, over a battle long ago won by a single victor who afterward built the town with his kin. So the tournament reflects that singular victor who won, which they celebrate because it's who their town and it's history was formed.

But along Jon's idea, it has somewhat become a show attraction, though some families still truly celebrate it for it's historical significence

I like that idea!
Well, I think the story is settled, if I didn't miss anything. Now all we need is a date.

Hmm...I like it!

I don't know my schedule but we could try for this Friday/Saturday to Sunday? Though I never know if I could be too busy so I may be a minor role if that happens (I could soft play as Hitoshi, and leave Indigo as if he's tending to Oriale or something excuse excuse)

Bbl, but please, toss ideas around!

Actually, this conflict of celebration might just be an interesting way to get people to enter the tournament; after learning the origin of the tournament, some could choose to celebrate the tournament based on the origins, but others would choose to celebrate it the "watch the show" way, they'd disagree on how it should be celebrated and enter the tournament to decide who's right!

Hmm, I think I'll be most available on Sunday, but I should still be able to participate if we go on one of the former two (moreso Saturday).

I think Friday should start it off, so we have plenty of time to get the chapter going. I'm free Friday afternoon on.

My schedule quite literally changes by the day, so it's a bit difficult for me to make an availability prediction, but I should at least be able to partially participate sometime during Friday. Also, a heads up Ms. Brush, you may need to do some Tybalt-ing for when Argon gets back to the base with an injured Devina.

I think a cool name for the tournament could be the, "Triumphant Tourny". It just sounds cool and flashy. Plus the abbrviation can just be "TT".
As Jon said, capitalize monitization. Imagine a huge gathering. Very big and crowded collisseum with shop booths around it.
Merchandise, knicknacks, merchants every where. Also the perfect to introduce new characters as they might have came from all around the countries to enter the tournament.
That's enough to make a tournament look big and grand. Plus toss in a super cool trophy. The winner will have bragging rights for weeks. Pretty sweet.
As for chapter 6, there can be a celebration for the winner which can take up the first chunk before we fight anybody. Basically, a party. We got a boat, we won a huge tournament why not party? It can be a boat cruise where the town folk helped put together on our newly decked ship. And then BOOM. Bad guys show up and ruin the party. Commence epic boat ride fight!
I have a vivid imagination okay?

I imagine Micah gets to play Avian tour guide again. Sweet!

I like the party ideas, Amby! Jon, that could work, but it seems like it could be a bit confusing for some to grasp, since we'd have to make a bunch of NPC to explain the situation.

I think the tournament should have a name reflecting the history, either naming it the town's name (let's say, the Kivilla Tournament, based on the town's name I just threw out) or based on the story or hero, so, throwing a hero name here; "The Ruish Kav Tournament" (Ruish Kav or whatever being the sole victor from yore)

hey Inky, check yer recent comments

I like to imagine the hero rides a pegasus. I dunno. It just sounds cool.

Rode, s/he rode a pegasus! The hero has been long dead cuz the town/city was founded over like 150 plus years before the tournament the royals attend.

So for the name, are we going for "Platinum Tourny," "Triumphant Tourny," "(Town name) Tournament," or "(Town Hero/Founder) Tournament?"

Personally, I think we should go for something along the lines of "(Hero name)'s Tournament of Triumph."

I agree, Jon, as long as the Triumph part isnt a stretch for a name. You dont want te name to be too long

Yeah, it's a bit of a mouthful. "(Hero name) tournament" is fine by me, but what do we name the hero?

Ruish Kav is what I cane up with, bit it can be a bit of a name to remember... So maybe Ru Kav, since it's shorter?

Or simply Rukav

And Ru-Kav (or better name) could be a Sky Knight/Pegasus Knight, like Amby suggested.

So here's a question; was the hero a boy or a girl?

Ru-Kav works!
They were probably a girl, considering how we only have female pegasus knights so far. Though, a male pegasus knight/sky knight would be nice?

This is FEBI remember? We could make a dude pegasus knight a thing.
/Hero name/ Tournament works fine with me.
I think we shouldn't stress the details too much. Just, "The hero saved us from brink of doom in the, Battle of /insert town name here//. To celebrate their acheivments we host a tournament every couple of years in their honor." Works just fine.

Fair enough, Amby.

I agree on name (inky) and simpicity on story (amby)!

Either gender works for me! I don't mind

So Friday may be busy for me, and idk about Saturday yet. But you guys can start it without me if need be.

Amby needs to draw the chapter post in like of the others, too, if she's hosting.

Okay wait, my friday plans may fall through, idk yet. So I may or may not be available but its aiming toward me being available now

I can't post on Saturday. I have to go out for a couple of hours on that day.
I'll do my best to try and post it though. Friday or Sunday(Preferably, as I'll get more time to do the drawing) can work with my schedule.

First I must ask though.
What are we naming this chapter? This is rather important.

You can name it something about the Tournament?

Or literally, "The Tournament"

Hopefully you can post it Friday, because Sundays have been kinda... Bad for the RPs... As a starting day anyway.

Okay I'll try to post it on Friday. I'll most likely miss the first half of Saturday though. So if I don't show up you'll know why.

Amber isnt in the RP yet, so unless you were going to play as an important chapter-specific character, the gravity of your activity isnt as so heavy. I really hope Amber gets to join soon cuz she'd be a great character in the story.

Thank you for aiming toward a Friday release! I know it's short notice... And I apologize for that fact.

Who's playing as Larson, btw? Was Witzke going to play as him?

Good question, Gills. I'll ask him now.

Witzke does indeed plan to play as Larson; however, both me and him will be busy tomorrow until the evening, so, depending on when the room gets put up, you may need to stall a bit. Perhaps you could focus on the tournament at first; that should allow enough time for us to return and get to the bidding.

i was never here but how fitting is it that you guys post a tournament oriented chapter on the dAY WHEN THE OLYMPICS START
GENIUS

I'll post the drawing at 5pm tomorrow.

Also Amber will probably join the story around Chapter 7.(After the boat ride.) I'd imagine she'd probably have to climb near the mountians connecting Avia and Palmalia. She recently heard about all the stuff happening in Avia from Mortem so I'd imagine she'd by in her curiosity and check it out.

Also her bio is, "The one who's most likely to show up late/last."

Okay cool, so Witzke stars as Larson.

And I think we can stall the bidding by saying it starts latter, but make a small story for finding the ship in the first place, seeing it for auction later, and then waiting. Along that, the tournament stuff, which is the main draw entertainment-wise to the rp.

Awesome! Amber is coming soon! I like the bio tidbit being true xD

Indigo's would be "the one with the most vibrant hair" xD

Must be the skittles dragon gene.
Yeup bunny queen is coming to town.
I might post the RP at 4:30 to let everybody show up.

Alright, can't wait!
Wait, what time is it for you, Amby? It's like 5:30 for me.

It's 5 til 4 here.

Ooo I forgot time zones were a thing.
I had to eat at 3pm anyways. I'll post it now. :^)

OK, so wr need to move on from Ch5 to Ch6 or something. The tournament is... flopping. Or it might've already flopped. Either way, it needs to either be cut completely, or disturbed in a way that cancels it but continues the story. Time paladin left a good idea at the end of the chapter I think you all should read and make an opinion over. I mean, I ask you to, please.

Well, I suppose it depends on whether you want the tournament out of your hair and done with now (which doesn't really involve much alteration storywise, but slows progression to 6), or if you want it to be halted, but have it be something that comes back later (which makes us have to come up with a way to stop the tournament, but allows for immediate progression to 6).

Personally, I'm leaning toward having the tournament be done with, but I also like the idea of immediate progression to 6. If there was a way that we could do both at the same time, then that'd be what I'd want to do (but that might screw up Ace's thing with Loki, so that'd be a problem).
Anyone else have an idea?

I would like to complete the tourney, but I feel everyone has found out too late that it's more than we planned it to be. It just seems like too much stress...

Maybe we could make a paralogue for Loki?

A potential solution, but we'll need an okay from Ace. But if we were to go with that, how would we end the tourny?

Idk. Thats why I said it may be a rough transition.

Hey Amby, Inky and Ace, Cocobananas may ask something about making a 3rd character, and I want to ask you if my reason for declining if she asks.

I believe that for one to make a third character they must /at least/ develop both of their original 2 characters first. A good example would be Jaden and Brycen, both by my little bro, Blackbeans. Both are well developed and also used more than once in the RPs. If he wished to make a third, regardless of being my kin, I would accept him making a third oc.

But Coco hasnt necessarily used Hades yet...

Well, if that's the rule we're using, I can think of a couple people that shouldn't have three characters. But I digress.
I have no problems with that rule, so I'd just ask her to wait and use Hades first.

As for Chapter 5, I think a lot of us want to finish this tournament, since we've invested so much time in it. However, maybe we could move it to a paralogue and cut down the entrants a bit (if anyone is willing to forfeit or something) to give it a proper finish. At the pace we're going, it's best if we just move to Chapter 6 for now.

For the tournament, I was going to suggest moving it to a separate post, allowing those that are interested to continue while the Forever Team moves on to the next chapter (thus enabling us to ignore the tournament entirely and only focus on chapter six), but then I realized that Micah won her round, which puts Ms. Brush in a position where she needs to be present for the remainder of the tournament. So I guess that won't work now.

As for the Chocobananas bit, I can't say I didn't see that coming; one exception may have gone unnoticed, but with another one being made for airwave and having some admins that have three or more characters, people will start to wonder why they can't have three themselves (which results in people asking, or not asking and just doing in the cases of some). I almost think that you should just up the limit to three and make no exceptions on exceeding the limit from then on.

My bro (Beans) was asking me last night about who was in the FT, because he was talking to Coco about the 3rd character thing. I thought about what my answer would be, and I almost said yes, but realized she never used Hades. It would logically make sense to have used and showed appreciation for your first two before making a third. Otherwise we'll get OC spam...

And I would /like/ to. Finish the tourney too. I'd. Be willing to drop Hito out if need be, cuz theres too many entrants right now.

When shall we host ch6? I think we could post the tourney paralogue and ch6 simultaneously because. Ch6's beginning is mostly for us lords.

I'd say you might as well put them up whenever, since the previous post seems to have lost the attention of our members. Also, should we create a special tag that only includes paralogues?

Well people have been making a third character already.I think it's fine as long as they don't neglect a character.Because some people really only joined to make OC's.And it's also because people don't know that they are allowed to host their own RPs that don't affect the story.

The RPs are kinda hard to handle for some people.Realisticly if this was a FE game,would you really use ALL of your units in your campaign? I think it would give people more freedoms if they were allowed to make more OCs but just not go overboard with them.
Because it's kinda one negative aspect about FEBI.I mean,who are we to limit someone's creativity? Sure some rules need to be followed,but this isn't a school or a job.Its a place where people want to have fun,to enjoy themselves.Thats what FEBI is for.

Remember,you guys can cause stress on yourselves and others.The last thing I need is more stress from something that should relieve my stress.School provides enough of that already.
I'm sure they feel the same way.
One last thing.
I want everyone here to think of each and every member as equals.No one is above anyone. We are not above them and they are not above us.
If you guys see a popular user make a post,sure,comment on that.But please,comment on beginning artists too.Please.I can not stress this enough.I want everyone to feel welcome.I want this to be fun.I know you guys do too.

Ok I think I worded my first sentence wrong on my last comment.What I mean is if we keep trying to enforce things,then we're technically going to stress ourselves out and those who participate.Let's try to avoid that.

Another reason is the fact that this takes place on a continent.There is so much that goes on in it.The whole world isn't going to focus on this.Maybe some people prefer lighthearted RPs.

That sounds like a suicidal proposition (for F.E.B.I, that is). I'd make an argument, but I think Gills would come up with one that's not only worded better, but also makes a better point.

Give me one reason why it would be. Please do go ahead.

I haven't worded everything perfectly because I'm really sick at the moment,I have school,a part time job to balance as well,and responsibilities at home.
I'm trying to promote freedom and creativity.You're just restricting it.

Well, it's simple, really:
Rules provide limits and structure, and without those, who will have the power or authority to stop the patrons from totally destroying the entire role-play as we know it? Having no authority figures that can enforce rules means that anyone can do anything that they want and no one can stop them, no matter how unfair or inconsiderate their actions. Having no structure means that nothing matters at all. It doesn't matter that this universe is one like Fire Emblem, you can create whatever you want no matter how out-of-theme it is. It doesn't matter if one person doesn't want their character to be a part of your OTP, ship 'em anyway and pay no heed to what they say, because there is no structure. Having no structure literally makes everything that we've done in the RP up to this point and beyond, utterly meaningless and in vain.
Look, I want to wait to see Gills' take on this matter, as he will likely bring up better points and word it far more efficiently than I would (as he has done before). Anyway, I'll be off to bed now; if you want to discuss this further. I'll be back tomorrow morning and we can continue this debate. Good night and get well soon!

@sorakh
Well, Dark Gills did say that it might be the new chat, but that also means it might not. I'm assuming that it ended up being the latter and we stayed on this one.

You fail to understand what I mean.
I don't mean to get rid of the rules completely.What I mean is to offer more freedom. The point of FEBI was to be welcoming but your idea of it seems the very opposite of it.
Sure we can have "basic rules" but we don't need to have a rule for everything.We need reasons rules,not rules that restricts people.
Second,I'm not controlling the ships.That's just a running gag with Acen.I don't plan on deciding who pairs up with who.
Having basic rules would ensure everything is fair and unrestricting.
I'm not saying we shouldn't enforce rules,but we should only really be needed if someone makes a god for a character or something of the sort.
But for the most part,we are their equals.And they will be treated with respect.They are doing us a favor by joining this in the first place.

Goodnight Jon.Rest well.
But please think about the participants.

Throwing in my two cents:
So Choco asked me yesterday day about the third character thing, and I told her the consensus we had reached at the time. Ace, you say that this rule only puts stress on the participants, but think about this- when I told Choco about waiting to use Hades, she understood and was completely fine with it.
If you're being stressed out by enforcing the rules, remember that you have an entire team behind you to help do so. So, the whole thing isn't on your shoulders.
Besides, we've only had major difficulties with a character once. (you know who, I'd prefer not to call him out) I fail to see how this rule is negative for the participants.

Oh, and the shipping? I've experienced that firsthand with RubioXMicah. It happens anyway, despite what I say to stop it. I spent months asking for it to stop, before I finally talked to Jakob about it and he's putting an end to it.

Yeah but you also told her that we were discussing it at the moment.I didn't know we were using this chat until Gills told me.
Actually she was only fine with it because she was polite about it.Other RPs don't have character limits,and everything goes along smoothly.It's killing the fun for people,they just haven't told you anything.Im not going to say names either.So you're ok with limiting their creativity?
About the shipping,it's a complete joke.Acen X Vern hasn't stopped and won't anytime soon and I'm not complaining about it.Its not serious so you could just ignore it.

So what you're saying Ace is that you want to abolish the character cap completely? Do you realize exactly what that will allow to happen? Here, I'll explain:
Removing the character cap will allow anyone to create any kind of character, anytime. Why is this a bad thing, you may ask? It may be more "creative" but this decision will allow any one person to create as many characters as they want to no end. What? They should introduce their previous characters before making new ones? No problem, they could literally introduce every character they have in the course chapter. Then the RP will become overrun by that user and their characters, removing any emphasis on other users' characters and drowning us all in their own flow of comments. That would be no fun for anyone.
You have to understand, Ace, that these rules are not something that we came up with willy-nilly; these rules were carefully thought out and each one has their designated purpose and reasoning. Maybe some are a little "limiting" but it's certainly better than the alternative that would be if there wasn't a rule like that, would you not agree?

On another note, did you all see that? Inkbrush has problems with shipping too. Next time you tell me that I'm the only one that doesn't enjoy shipping to the level that you guys do (which somehow makes me wrong? I still don't get that) remember Ms. Brush.
Love is not a joke. Shipping "for the lulz" is not something that should be encouraged. People actually do take these things seriously (despite it originating as a "joke') and what can result is an unnecessary flame war when someone doesn't agree with someone else's OTP. This induces mass chaos and extreme character derailment and bashing. Shipping may be largely practiced in the Fire Emblem community, but that doesn't mean it needs to be practiced here; it can actually hurt people.

I'm not trying to say that shipping is taboo and should be abolished entirely; done correctly, it can be a very beautiful thing, creating harmonious matches that all can agree with. But not when it's done as a joke. Like I said, people do take these seriously, and that's when people get hurt.
Please ship responsibly.

About shipping.Its ludicrous to ban something that really can't be banned and people enjoy.Its not even cool or anything.Its entirely silly.Its technically the Hubba Tester.No one but Acen,Micah,and Jon got a "negative" ship.Its nothing that needs to be discussed or banned.

Technically, I didn't get shipped. Again, I'm not saying it should be banned, I'm just reminding you that stuff like this does have potential to hurt and should be done carefully rather than casually.
But enough about that; remember, we're here because you don't like the character cap rule, not because we have different views on how shipping should be handled. Let's not get distracted over something that was supposed to be a random example.

I meant Argon.Sorry.
If it hurts somone then I'll make a post to remind people that it's not to be taken seriously.I remember when Trinity was shipped with Indigo's hair and both Gills and Tiff and neither of them were offended.

Well see, there you go! It can work out great, but it's those ones that don't that you have to watch out for.
But again, we're getting off-topic. All members of the team need to have a say in this matter, so let me ask you: how would you want to go about dealing with the character limit?

I'll explain when I get back from work.

Holy snapples you guys can talk

I'll have to read for an hour to catch up

Clarification: I have no problems with joke shipping in general, but shipping a 4/10 year old is crossing the line for me. The only reason it took so long for it to vanish was because everyone KNEW that I had a strong distaste for it, and wanted to mess with me.

Alriiiight so you guys are pretty much arguing yayyy

Okay, here's my 2 cents to add to the 6 already here;

I hate limits

However, I hate chaos more.

So that's why I agreed with limits. It has been ok so far, not great, but ok. I feel bad limiting others, but it has created order.

I would love to let others make whatever they wish, but we made a FE RP, which has rules to its creating options (like no elves)

And I believed it was better to limit everyone from the start than nickpick one or two users who went too far.

If there is indeed a way to keep order, AND allow freedom of creation, without a cap limit, I'm all ears (eyes).

But I just need that viable option

Alright alright I have an idea.

An amendment to the Febi CoC;

Every member is allowed to create Three (3) free, unique, user created characters known as "units" (OCs), that may participate in the story arc of FEBI (aka the main RPs) and are considered canon as long as they fit within the characters creation CoC.

Each unit is allowed One (1) "child unit" that comes from them and that does not take place canonly in the 1st arc of the FEBI storyline (RP), but is instead non canon and would be portrayed as being placed 20 years after the story.

To create a fourth (4th) or further unit, you must obtain authorization from the Forever Team. It is possible to have many units, however each unit after the 3rd must be cleared individually. Also, it is generally more accepted that the prior ocs have been shown as appreciated by it's creator.

Yeah, as you can see, it got pretty messy here; that's why I wanted you to come in to try and help solve this in a more clean way (couldn't think of a word that meant the opposite of messy yet fit into the context). Thank you for jumping in to help!
So effectively, what you suggest is we do the same thing we've been doing, but instead of two being the default, it gets upped to three. I think that may actually work out better, since I somehow doubt people would want to make a fourth character (three's plenty, right?). I'm all for that, but let's see what Ace has to say.

No Jon, it's not just that. We would be allowing way more characters, but we'd simply let everyone know that they'd need an OK from us beyond the first 3. We would no longer be limiting everyone to JUST 3 ever. We now open the doors for the likes of Allesandra-Phillae to make more characters.

I'd suspect we'd allow everyone to easily have over 3 even. This allows freedom, allowing more than 3, and order, in which no one would make spam, because we'd know about it before it'd ever happen.

I love freedom, but there has to be order too. It's the yin and yang. This in my opinion would be that balance, or the closest thing we have to it yet.

Sorakh, I totally understand. I want you to be a greater part of this, happily. If it's something that causes you to be uncomfortable, please either peacefully voice it or peacefully let us know that it's not for you. This is for everyone, and goes for everyone.

@Inky:Sorry but the shipping discussion has ended.
I know it's 2016,so I understand that some people don't take jokes very well.But understand that it is just a joke.

Case closed

@Gills:That's a pretty good compromise.I can agree with that.But I think they should get an approval from the majority of the FT.Because it's kinda hard to get a unanimous vote here.

Okay first of all let's chill back for a moment and re think our options. Paragraphs of rambles isn't easy to organize.

Option 1: We allow more freedom to the character limit.
-Pros: More freedom. More character potential.
-Cons: More likely to get character over population. Can be difficult for the user to handle multiple characters.

Option 2: Limit the character limit.
-Pros: Less likely chance of chaos. The characters already used gets more developement.
-Cons: May cause confusion to those who don't have a 3rd character. Limits character creation.

Personally, I like the three character limit nothing more idea.
I feel that keeps the group in check. It's a nice compromise for both sides I feel.
Trust me, I love creative freedom as much as the next guy. But I don't want to risk this group to more messy work and confusion.

Remember, to relax for a little bit. Over thinking can be a stress causer.

I agree. I think if at least two of us give an ok then it's clear.

(So glad you agree to this, really!)

So Amby, yay or nay (or additional opinion) on my compromise idea?

We allow 3 units off the bat, without needing permission, but allow the ability to ask for more IF the artist is respectable.

Basically it's plus 1 to the original rule and knocking down the limit rule to an "ask us" rule

I said agree with your compromise idea.

I thought we already allowed people to make additional characters if they got permission from the Team first. Maybe it's just me.

I can make an amendment update or a full CoC version 2 update (combining all coc posts if possible, and taking tye others off their tags)

Jon, no, we had it that you can make 2, then ask for a 3rd, no more. Now we can make 3, then ask for further, with no precise limit

And I'll ad the country unit tag to the COC too, Sora

I'm back.

@Gills
Oh. I misunderstood, then; sorry.
So...are we cool with this amendment?

If we all understand it, yes. I can work on it soon too, but I'm not rushing cuz I'm going to try to incorporate all previous CoCs together, so its easier for everyone, which will take time, and none of us needs to stress over anymore.

So, uh...
for chapter six, the plan is to put it up alongside a separate paralogue post for the tournament, right?

Unfortunately for the RP, I may be busy all weekend for family. (I was hoping to join the Splatoon test fire..) so I may not be present to publish or join either RP.

On another note, I updated #febicoc and also added a tag to specifically the character use post, which I updated the 3 free use characters, with #febicu (fire emblem beyond infinity character use)

Actually guys

I think I need to take a step back as a leader.

I need to focus on my life and career, and fussing over how many OCs everyone can make is taking up too much time for so little. It really isnt that big of a deal. It's an ideal, but it's not a huge consequence.

And the RPs, I'd like to be a part of it, and join in from time to time, even to still play as Indigo, but I cant be as integrated anymore. I need to make something out of my life here, and although FEBI is great, it's not going to get me a car.

It's okay, life comes first after all! So, are you planning to step down permanently or just be much less involved?

I think I'll have some involvement, but the rules and stuff, I'm honestly not interested much anymore. The scheduling of RPs is stressing, and I need to better use my time.

I did update the unit limit on #febicu

But it took me an hour ro double check everything. It just isnt worth it.
I like playing the characters and making comics, but the issues we have are superficial to real life needs.

I am a founder here, bit now just a normal member aside from that.

Tbh I think the story should be simpler for this group too. Its kinda been getting long.

Yeah, I see your points. I mean, I've had a lot of time to do stuff in F.E.B.I. because it's summer, but once college starts up, that's gonna be taking up most of my time, which will end up sidelining this. Life stuff is important, much moreso than maintenance of an online fantasy world.
And yeah, delving into F.E.B.I. is real nice when you're doing it for your own enjoyment by making comics, RPing, etcetera, but when it ends up feeling obligatory or causes retrospectively irreleveant conflicts like the one here last time, one begins to question how much it really matters.

And finally, yeah, the story is getting rather long. Perhaps seven should be the final Bael confrontation at the hideout (maybe even six if we can fit it in). Don't know about the rest of you, but I think we're ready for the endgame here (of the first arc, anyway).

So if you're shifting activity to somewhere else, Gills, shall I ask for hosting volunteers (within the other three of the four, of course)?

No to what, stopping arc one at seven or asking the other three if they want to take care of the posting business so that Gills can focus more on his life?

Oh, you misunderstood? Yeah, I probably should have worded that question better.
Anyway, I shall keep you (or Ace, who will inform you) informed on decisions!

So, before we continue with talking about posting, I have a question related to the paralogue:
Should it be posted to the #FEBIRP tag or should a separate tag be created to house Paralogue RPs (My suggestions for possible tag include FEBI X RP, X standing for extra, FEBI RP X {X means the same} and FEBI Gaiden)? Or should we create a special tag AND put it in #FEBIRP as well?

We could cut out Yukari and Vivian's ark if you guys want. After all they were just made to be extra villans.
Honestly, I love this group but it's getting really big.
A little too big soon. I'm not sure we can really handle even more crowded RP rooms.

And I'm also not sure how much longer this "fun" will turn into stress. Or how much longer until we reach a breaking point.

I wouldn't ever want to end this group. Seeing everybody happy in a place becoming desolate is wonderful. But as I was taught, "You can't make others happy if you aren't happy yourself."
Seeing us get flustered over rules and such repeatively just makes me wonder.

Needed to get that off my chest really. Just thoughts I've been having.

I think Inky and Amby should be in charge of RPs, I mean this no offense to Sora or anyone, but Sora, you've deleted your gallery more than twice before, and RP pages are important, so wr cant have them getting deleted. And the same for others... But I trust Inky and Amby cuz they love this group, are active, and have clean records.

And I think Febi, after the story arc, would become more like Colors Emblem in a way that its open for people to make their own small RPs. But it's our original setting, not Awakening.
And I think Yukari and Vivian should just have a different origin, cuz I like them as comic characters here.

I still want yo be an Admin, but I just think it can be a hell of a lot simpler. Amby has a point, cuz it has started getting to that "breaking point". RPs have gotten a lot harder, even stressful. But maybe we could limit the entrant into each RP? I hate nore limits but we just cant write with so much random activity. So maybe we could be make a paralogue at the same time that can have infinite amount allowed, that doesnt have much for us to "admin"

And Jon, I think it should be in FebiRP, but maybe make a tag like #FebiPara?

I must agree that the RPs have gotten rather large and chaotic, so perhaps a separate posting for random chatter would be a good way to cut down on that. I think another thing we should consider is to only have certain characters tied to plots; what I mean is to RP in a way so that only users with a reliable attendance record are plot-crucial so as to avoid mass stalling (like both times Kahli has been plot-crucial).
Also, thank you Gills for sharing your opinion on the RP tagging! So you want to go with putting it in both the regular tag and the special tag. Also, the name Febi Para works too.

Idk about that. It seems like we wouldn't give newcomers a chance if we did that.

Maybe just say *list of story characters* plus 5 open spaces?

I think it should be on both the RP tag and its own, yes. I named FebiPara on the spot, but I think it's easier to remember and recognize than FebiGaiden (which I know why its named that, but not everyone will, or know how to spell it)

Febixrp is good too though

Hm, I see your point, but I still think we should be able to have a back-up to complete the session should one of the plus five "go missing."
Do you think we should have the other TFT members vote on the tag name?

-Missing word addition:
*back-up WAY to

I do not have the lone jurisdiction to say whether we do or do not let them vote, of course they would be allowed to vote, it's a team.

Idk. But maybe an RP sgouldn't stop, then.

Well yes, that's true. I was just wondering if you wanted to settle on one of our coined names for convenience or have the team decide as a whole.
But yeah, that stall bit is kind of a head-scratcher.

The point still stands, whether I "wanted to settle on one of our coined names for convenience" or not wouldn't matter, we are a team. Jumping to the easiest decision for convenience isn't the way to do things in a group.

Though this specific matter may not be something that big of a deal, because A) we could easily change the tag, and B) its not like we are posting a para' without getting the whole team's attention first, and we arent putting it up like tomorrow anyway.

"Stall bit"? I was meaning that we could just not take things so seriously and just move ahead in any RP even if we would normally have to "stall" (by instead; continuing without altering the situation much)

Trust me, I wouldn't want to exclude the team on important stuff, but you guys have been talking about how stressful this whole management stuff is lately, and I figured if us two could settle this rather "small potato" matter now, it'd be less stress on everyone else. I made the suggestion with the intent of reducing stress.

Moving ahead anyway? It could disrupt the flow a bit, but it's probably the best solution.

If it was pressibg, maybe. But this is one of the few non-stressful decisions I'm sure we like to be creative about.

Granted. Speaking of which, I wonder where the others are.

You could invite them?

I actually just dropped by to see if anything was new, and lo and behold, there is!
I agree that the community is getting pretty huge. But how many of the artists who created a character are actually active in the RP?
Posting a Para' is an easy fix, but I was thinking more along the lines of Barracks. Since we can't bring all the recruited units along anyway, they could move most/all idle chitchat BETWEEN UNITS there. I'd honestly prefer for artist chat in the 'void' to be moved elsewhere, but that's just me. It's also a nice outlet for character development, but I worry that some conversations will become more like supports. Not sure if that's a problem, or if it has a fix.

Although your suggestion is a pretty good one (in fact, we should probably do that sometime), the goal that we're going for is to be able to finish the tournament seamlessly, but also keep the main story going at the same time. Right now, the tourny is holding the story progression back, so we coined the idea of making it into a paralogue so that we can keep moving toward the final objective of the journey while finishing the tournament simultaneously.

I understand that, and that's not what context I was referring to. I meant that that could be our fix for the overflowing chapters. The paralogue tournament is fine by me.

Oh, I see. Sorry 'bout that, my bad.

On another note, what do you think about the paralogue tag name thing?

#FebiPara is nice, but I don't think it matters?

It's not that important, but it's still an aspect that could use a group consensus. So I guess that makes two for #FEBIPara.

I would like somebody else, meaning aside from me, to post the chapter 6, if that's alright. I can easily post the paralogue, by rewriting CH5's "chapter" with "paralogue 1"

Which I may be able to do this weekend maybe.

Chapter 6 can be done anytime, it doesnt have to be this weekend.

I'd volunteer to put it up, but, y'know, main four rule. Would you like me to go and ask the others?

Tbh I dont want to limit to just us four, it seems stuck up. but realistically, the most of FEBI is following at least Amby, Inky or me. So logically it would be beneficial for paras. You can ask the others if you want.

I wouldn't say it's stuck up; I mean, it makes good practical sense when you think about it.
I'll ask 'em.

I'm willing to host the next chapter, if you need me to. I'm pretty sure it's my turn, since I haven't hosted since chapter one.

Inky, you could host if Ace and Amby are chill with it.

Hm, interesting point there. Each of the main four have hosted once, (plus me and Spooky Plant) and Gills has hosted three times (if you count each "part two" post as one hosting). Since Gills started and you went after him, I guess it would be your turn. But again, don't feel obligated to host, only do it if you want to.

So I was hoping to rereease Tournament today. But a few things need to br adressed first

Wr need to cut the amount of entrants. Only 8 should've been the max. So it cuts to 4, then finally 2.

Otherwise, we need to do SIXTEEN.
So as I recall we have

Reuben
Yuudai
Micah
Brycen?
And I forget... who did vern battle vs? Did he win or lose? Who else won?
Hito and Kahli were still fighting.

Vern went up against Pac and won. So, without any additional bouts after Kahli vs. Hitoshi, we'd currently have six entrants moving on to round two.

Do we even officially have two other entries in order to make eight? If not, we could just do round two then have the remaining three move on together to defeat the previous champ (and possibly two allies of his choice).

So if we got 4 more units, we could narrow down to
4 round-2 matches,
then a 2 matches for round 3,
then a final,
then a champ battle.

IF we can knock down 2 winners from Round 1 instead, then we could move to a 2-match round-2, then a final. Then vs Loki.

I vote toward the latter, making it quicker. And if Vern, Reuben, Micah, Brycen, or Yuudai backs down, and Airwave and I agree not to continue, we could have an easy quick round 2 then finish the thing

The problem with that would be getting one of them TO back down. 'Cousre you might be able to get 'Beans to back out more easily than anyone else, since Brycen was very insistent on the match being a tie. I believe he may even have refused to move on at one point, but the ref made him move on anyway.

Brycen forfeited essentially, and no one had any objections.
Yuudai and Micah are both pretty intent on finishing this tournament.
Vern and Rueben, I dunno.
I kinda want to see the Kahli vs Hito fight finished, but for convenience, you don't have to finish it.

I know Beans would easily stand aside for two reasons already mentioned. I want the thing to move, so I'd forfeit, but I could to the match with Airy.

Tbh, I was feeling a bit edgy cuz I felt like Hito was being controlled by Airy. She just wrote "flipped him over and twisted his right arm and stood on his left arm". It just seemed like three moves in one, without me being able to counter.

I tried to be fair by saying "attempted" to do an action, or to do something feasible in a short time that would be likely...

So at one point I really just wasnt having fun. idk.

Hm, that's not good. I have to admit, as soon as I saw how arrogant everyone was in their combat and how utterly determined they were to win, I immediately realized that this whole tournament thing was a bad idea.
No offense to Amby, I mean, it sounded good in print, but it was, in fact, a competition; it involved fictional characters that the creators became heavily attached to trying to decide "who would win in a fight" when they'd already have a heavy bias towards themselves, and in an environment where their character could pretty much pull off any move of any sort.
Again, it was a good concept and something that I'd really like to see done properly (meaning more as a collaborated effort where we all can agree on who wins and without all this "let my character win because they are the best" crap), but this just wasn't the place for it, given the results.

Suffice to say, I'm beginning to look less and less forward to the final battle between the Royal party and the Baels.

By the way, Ace says that he's cool with letting Inky host chapter six, as long as she doesn't do it on a Saturday (because that's when he works). Still haven't received word from Amby.

Okay, got word from Amby, she's cool with Ms. Brush hosting too. As long as you're good to host Ms. Brush (and not going to do it on a Saturday), then chapter six is good to...
wait a minute, did we ever give the chapter a name?

Sorry.I just won't be able to help at all on Saturday..

I have mentioned that people should be allowed to host their own RPs already.And many times before. I don't know if you guys even take my opinions seriously.
You guys have been using this for days without informing me too.
I'm going to make a new group discussion that will be open to everyone. When Jon joined it was because he showed up and helped us.It provided us with new ideas.I think it's time for other people to share their ideas with us so it can be an actual RP group that people want to be in.

No one is finding FEBI fun anymore.
I think we should do one more formal chapter,then we let it split into other RPs and everyonce in a while make an RP for a bigger event.It would be much more enjoyable and relaxing like an RP should be.
And don't think I'm going to quit.FEBI is something I had fun with and want to keep having fun with.

Where are you hearing this, Ace? I'm curious.

@Inky:People that have made complaints privately.

@Inky:I'm curious to know why you haven't informed me that you guys were discussing on day 1.
Are you trying to get rid of me?

Just know that there were only three people in the very beginning.
And if it has to come to that,those three people will continue it.
I seemed your help because I trust you.Please maintain it.I don't want to lose my trust and friendship with you guys.

One thing I have noticed is our distant everyone is with each other.We're friends are we not?

Ace, I wasn't even here day one. I assumed you had been alerted as I had, and figured you were busy.
Why would I want to get rid of you? Why would any ofus want to get rid of you? You're our friend.

Distant? Okay, what the heck? Did I not get the memo or something?
I haven't had or seen any problems with this team or FEBI. I guess that's my fault, for barely counting as a leader, but I figured I'd hear something if people didn't enjoy FEBI anymore.

Don't know about anyone else, but to me, it seems that you two (Ace and Sorakh) want to run this separately from us. You guys always show up together, talk about these issues that arise that apparently no one else is aware of, and have on one occasion made a major decision without consent of the rest of the team.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but something about all that tells me that you guys would rather be running this club on your own. Is there truth in that?

Look I'm sorry.Im just stressed out.I apologize.
I don't want to lose my friendship with you guys.I just feel like FEBI should be a bit more casual.Its more inviting that way and people have asked me if I could make it more casual.The thing is,I'm not in charge.Its a team effort.
Again,I apologize..School has been stressing me out and I'm sorry for taking out on you guys.

Plus, I did inform you when it came time to make decisions, it just took that long to get to that point. Know that I don't want to exclude you from decisions, but I figured I wouldn't bother you with a proposition before we had one. I also figured you were checking up on the post, but I take it you weren't.

I apologize.
School has been a bit too stressful right now and I didn't mean to take it out in you guys.Im sorry

I still want to be your friend, Sora. We barely talk, so I'm not sure how you see me, and how I've changed to you.
I get defensive, and I get frustrated. That's towards nearly everyone, it isn't just you.

And Jon, thank you. It needed to be said

Ace, it's alright. School takes a toll on people, and I can see where you're coming from.

That being said, that doesn't make you trying to blame this on me sting any less, Sora.

Was it just stress Ace, or is there something important you want to share with us? If you do have something you want to say, now is the time. I'm all ears.

Okay, so I figure now is as good a time as any to bring this up.
So, I put a lot of trust in Spooky, because I know her personally. I tell her about everything, including stuff that happens here and the like, leaving it up to her to form an opinion. She wanted me to speak for her on this matter, and I wanted to ask all of you if that would be alright. I know not all of you have the best opinion on her right now.

As for you Sorakh, I don't get it, I just don't get it.
If you are literally afraid of everyone on the team, why are you still a part of it? Don't know about you, but to me, being on a team where you're afraid of (or just don't like, which I'm starting to think is the case) almost everyone is not something worth doing, no matter your levels of passion for the group. Just seems like a lot of unnecessary stress for you.

We just need to try to be more helpful to each other.I want to help more. And some people have made complaints.Some were even about me.
We just need to be a bit more open.That way we too,can have fun.

Thank you guys for bearing with me.Im really sorry for just blowing up on you guys.

Jon/Ace, that's right. If something happened, we're here to listen. I hate to see you like this. I know it's not really my business, but you seem miserable. So does Sora.

Sora, you still can. We're open to hear what you have to say, and I'd still like to be friends with you. Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong to us.

Guys.

Guys please... seriously....

I dont inform all of you everyday because sometimes discussions pop up randomly and it gets tiring to comment to each of you, I'm sorry, I wouldve told you guys more but I thought you guys would check here from time to time...

Sora, I want you to be in. I just feel like you dont like me anymore. I dont have as much time as I used to, I barely get to draw here anymore, I dont talk to everyone very often.

Ace, I want it more casual too. Here, you can announce #RPFebi being a tag for casual RPs, if everyone else is cool with it! Just make sire R is before FEBI

Inky, are you asking Shad to be in the team? Cuz I would like to hear her input!

Technically, Thr Forever Team is the original four. But... maybe we should make a new branch, a new team, maybe called the Infinity Team, that's all of us together. Sora, Jon, Shad... anyone... anyone who wants to be a greater part of this group, helping make it better.

I'm pretty sure Shad isn't interested in being a formal member of the team- think of her as my second opinion, I guess. But here's what she said, most if which is no longer relevant:
-First of all, why are Sora and Ace getting private complaints at all? It's definitely a thing that's important, and should've been shared with the rest of the team.
-Second of all, complaining about things won't solve anything.
Third, a group discussion about the actual complaints and how they can be fixed is a good idea.

I don't know.I just do.I have other social media sites where people approach me. Some people think I'm in charge and tell me to be more active. Some people don't like the way some people are interacting.
I don't give names because they would really hate me if I did.

Good thoughts, Ms. Plant!
They may get upset, Ace, but in order to resolve these problems, we need specifics.

Jon, thats not true. Some problems dont need specifics.

Okay, so Shad can be like Red, since he's my second opinion too.

Ace, thats how I felt for awhile. The drawing if Indigo with his eyes closed? That was inspired by my feelings of gettibg complaints ained at me too. It happens, and as leaders, we get the glory and the tomatoes.

Well I, for one, would like to know just what these people are complaining about, whether it be the RP, other members, or the team itself, so that I can try and be a part of the solution. I don't like being kept in the dark when it comes to complaints.

Also, if Ms. Plant is going to be like Red, you might want to add her to the "Honorary Members" section of this post. Just saying.

Okay, so we won't need names (unless a particular user's conduct is the problem), but I would like to know exactly what irks our community members.

Um...complaints?

Hm, they must've gone and done fun things for Labor Day (a good choice, much better than mine). Oh well.

Starting to wonder if I missed some sort of annoucement or something...

But it could have something to do with school (I bet you'll have fun reading my musings to myself).

I've been reading here for days. I just have nothing to say.

Oh, you have been here. Sorry 'bout my assuming again.
Nothing, eh? Yeah, we do need word from Ace for the other matter. But um...is there anything left to wrap-up here with chapter six before it's posted (like does it need a name)?

Idk. I truly think we're all just busy with school/work. I havent really wanted to RP tbh, so i'm not exactly pushing for a release.

Mm. Life does come first, and I respect that. I suppose it'll just happen when it happens, yeah?

Guess I'll go and take a break from here for a while. Enjoy life!

Sorry for not commenting in a while.
Life's pinning me down right now. I get work assigned to me everyday.
Plus I honestly don't want to RP atm. It's time consuming and I'd rather do it later when I can juggle my time better.

^Thats pretty much exactly my thing too. Its also time consuming imo as well, as I have to dedicate all day to the next few days to the thing because to run it, we have to know what everyone is doing in it, but also cuz wr have to be involved in it enough ourselves. Its just better to do when its not school and work season.
