Damian isn't asocial, at all, he's just abrasive. I have asked multiple times if people want to set up scenes, but they need to be discussed in advance to make sense. And it's perfectly possible to play more loner types, since they exist, but a group game NEEDS a clear story line that keeps the party together and moving along on a track. That way, no matter who or what you are, you're interacting.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207350.msg10339362#msg10339362">Quote from: vin26m on 03-08-2014, 14:58:59</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">There is one female player with a female character, and she's on the verge of hooking up with a male player with the only other female character.  It's basically a sausage party, and I'm hoping for at least some sexy time for Hiro with a female character player by a female player.<br/><br/>And the remarks about Hiro and Damien getting a room and getting it on were real boner killers for me.  </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I don't really see what the problem is what that scene or that comment. I would personally like some more conversation and character development before anything intimate of any kind.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207350.msg10339362#msg10339362">Quote from: vin26m on 03-08-2014, 14:58:59</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">KaylaM's battle set up was great.  I thought I injected some nice after-action drama by taking Moshe's actions and turning it into a company issue.  <br/><br/>But right now, the only interesting thing happening is between Kari and Allia.  I would watch the thread for that alone, essentially making it a solo game between KaylaM and orderNchaos as the starring actors, with me playing Hiro as a supporting actor and others doing the same since we don't seem to have a whole lot to RP about.<br/><br/>I would like to see more female characters played by female players.  </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Why? Isn't it more important to play your role?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207350.msg10339362#msg10339362">Quote from: vin26m on 03-08-2014, 14:58:59</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If that doesn't happen, I am willing to be involved in a lesser, NPC-ish role (i.e., don't hold up the action waiting for me to post, just keep the action moving and I'll respond to whatever is going on at the time).  <br/><br/>But if there are going to be more posts out of me, I need to be getting as much as I think I've been giving.<br/><br/>For me, a simple (but not easy) solution would be for KaylaM to make another female character that would pair up with Hiro.  Based on my most recent post, this could be one of the three female recon lance pilots that Hiro is joining and maybe commanding.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>But that won't get the group talking to each other. We should prevent forming scenes and just have everyone talking to each other. Otherwise we'll end up with a collection of solo scenes which beats the purpose of a group game, no?
