I've heard rumbles about a round II for jello wrestling being something people might enjoy, but in terms of IC reasons, I can't see a reason why it should be hosted or why people would come again. Therefore, I humbly submit two questions to the OOC community;
1) Would you like a Round II OOCly?
2) Would you like a Round II ICly?
3) If no to Question 2, please elaborate (I know the obvious reasons, but hearing it in the words of others is always useful).
Thank you m(_ _)m
-
1) Yes!
2) Yes.
3) I will instead provide reasons why it should be hosted or why people would come again, as those are the ones you can't see :P:
- The first match was never finished.
- Bets were placed.
- Replaces the negative ending with a positive one, and also sends a message to those that tried to assasinate Ava. "We are not afraid."
- It was a pretty popular event the first time.
- Pod pilots know there's always a risk when out of pod, and that rarely stops them.
- For the cause.

You know, Backstage puts these little teasers for topic names in the "last post" thing.
All I saw was up to "This time".
My brain filled in the rest with ", it's sexual~" thanks to all the wisecracks (mostly mine) from the previous thread.
1) Yes, as one of the two people who would, in theory, be getting messy.
2) Morwen could be convinced. Especially if Reppy caught wind of it, then it would be more a "I don't have a choice in the matter". Of course she actually arrived to Round 1 wearing suitable clothing under everything else, just in case Pieter sissied out.
-
1) Would you like a Round II OOCly?
Yes, it was a fun event.
2) Would you like a Round II ICly?
Afraid not. Even if it was in neutral space, it's "too soon" after the events of the last one. I highly doubt Samira would go to another one already, even if pressured by a friend (which was the only reason she went to the last one).
-
1) There's always room for jello ! On the other hand, part of the fun I have IC is that since the fight didn't reach its proper conclusion, it leaves room to poke a little fun at one another between Avists and Pieterists :)
2) Exercise in variations on the word "no" : too close, too soon. Part of Adreena supporting the jello-wrestling was, while an occasion to release steam and laugh, its form couldn't be related in any way to the shooting itself :)
-
So it's sort of in the middle now.
I realize that under normal circumstances that asking opinions on an RP event OOCly is kind of cheap and some people see it as taboo. However, I don't want to waste time putting something together with others and coordinating schedules if only a few would bother with it when I could be studying or working or some such.
So I apologize if it's kind of eh of me to be asking.
-
I wouldn't stress overmuch about it being taboo, I think it's pretty understandable to be asking.
As for myself:
1) Yes.
2) Undecided. Uriel would like to support a charitable outreach but perhaps this is not the way to pursue it.
-
1) Yes, but as has been said it's too soon.
2) In time, yes.
-
1. Yes on the simple grounds that some people missed the first one.
2. Yes, because Uraniae supports strides for the mostly malevolent space demigods to do things to keep from getting that full of themselves. Jello wrestling is just one way of not being totally serious about the whole "asteroid cold killer captains" of the universe.
-
Sounds like people had fun!
Too soon by far though. Move your assassin plot forward, let that percolate or develop, maybe have that wrapped before a round two, otherwise there's no resolution and the same circumstances exist. Jello wrestling -again- seems odd with an unresolved mystery and danger afoot, so to speak.
Give it a few months and go for it.
-
Crap I forgot Anslo had the guy's body....he...hehe.
OK all, thanks for the feedback!
-
1) Yes!
2) Yes.
3) I will instead provide reasons why it should be hosted or why people would come again, as those are the ones you can't see :P:

I could provide a carbon-copy of what was stated here. Instaed I will repeat a tried and true tradition.
Ahem.
"This.^"
;)
-
Exactly. If we don't do Jello Match 2, then the terrorists - I mean assassins - have won.
-
I think the appropriate IC response is to wait. While a jello match Round 2 might be warranted and wanted, it's not the right time, too soon. Besides, we still have to wrap up the whole arc as well.
I'll give it a few weeks and test IC sentiment IG and go from there.
.....I also will def need a new suite...and shtick...and everything. :P
-
This was a very fun event. More like it would be very welcome! It was fun, exciting, and had the right number of people. Sometimes good events have too many players and I get a headache from trying to track what forty people are doing (examples KoTMC ball, Silas' parties.) Having more events end without a dramabomb would be awesome.
IC: I'm not sure. Karmilla was very entertained but glaring security problem is an issue. Tabor has very strong opinions against repeating the event, but really it wouldn't be his decision.
-
Honestly, I think what most RPers want is something to do.
You don't necessarily have to do the jello thing again, you could just host an 'evening' or something, with an open guest list. People will show up, because people cannot resist a public get together :P
-
OOC - It was a fun event! More fun is good.
IC - We did the fight. We almost got killed. We raised money for charity. Why do it again? Speaking as someone who almost died thanks to neurotoxin, I'd need a damn good reason to do it again - especially when friends and loved ones are telling me I was dumb to do it in the first place. :)
-
1) Would you like a Round II OOCly?
Yes, I found it entertaining and would like to state again that your PC is an excellent master of ceremonies.
2) Would you like a Round II ICly?
3) If no to Question 2, please elaborate (I know the obvious reasons, but hearing it in the words of others is always useful).
Makkal will object to it again on the same grounds, it's licentious and in poor taste so she'd never be interested in watching, though if it's for charity she'll give it a pass. Presumably, the live stream Anslo provided didn't show much of the audience or she would have been unhappy with the number of Faithful she saw while watching it.
Also, people die in and around your club. It's bad luck. You haven't even figured out who the original assassin was working for!
-
My PC is an excellent master? What's a PC?...
-
PC = Player character.
Given that your forum handle is Anslo and your character name is the same, I thought I'd differentiate.

(1) Yes. It was amusing and it got some rp going.
(2) Definitely not. She didn't realize exactly it was the first time, just that it was a charity event. The shooting brought back some bad memories for her (relating to PTSD she still has from the last incident before she retired from her security/investigator position) and she feels (somewhat contradictorily) the way the affair ended both was the result of extremely shoddy and incompetent security and the judgment of God as to such a heathen gathering. She's now on a 30 day retreat in the Basilica depressed. ((Oh well, I'll make an Alt and attend))
-
I'm unsure Esna could rationalize going again - not because of security, although he might ask for a review first, but because the event was, ah, highly non-Amarrian.
-
In terms of the fight IC it was very fun to go to, though I don't have many player run events to compare it to.
Would IC Lucas like to see round 2, probably not, given what Happened he would find it odd that the two would want to repeat it, not to mention Ava still can't use her legs as of this moment as well as it leading to unpleasant flashbacks for those involved.
-
I think all the folks answering "This would be neat, but my character wouldn't go" is a nice justification for kalaratiri's statement about RPers just wanting something to do.
Instead of just doing a round 2 of the same event, is there something that we could do where folks could justify their characters attending?
-
Ill echo what's been said!
Yes, of course; it seems like everyone had a blast. I know I did.
But, maybe give it a bit. Maybe we can come up with other stuff to do in the meantime...
-
Makkal has thought about doing a 'revelry' party... but no one seems to know what's actually being celebrated.
-
I've been getting the impression that it's sort of an Amarrian version of the Day of Ashura for twelver Shi'ites. Lots of ecstatic religious events, lots of feasting, practices (such as Iranians beating themselves with chains to symbolize the martyrdom of Hussein) that blur the line between religious observation and violence. The Filipino Easter celebrations that end with people actually getting crucrified might be another thing to draw from.
-
I could see it drawing from both of those as well as some Roman festivals.
But... all of those have a reason: the martyrdom of Husayn, the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, honoring the dead.
The new articles haven't given us one reason why they're celebrating, which makes all the Faithful RPers look a little foolish. We're like a bunch of Christians sitting around going, "Oh yeah, I'm having a great holiday. Got the tree up and have all the presents wrapped. What am I celebrating? Oh, um, brotherhood and... religious stuff. Important religious stuff, I'm sure."
