There is that better?

I've got to get out of this game, have fun.

(( There goes our only female Scientist))

Rune nodded to indicate he got the order. "I'll guard the- um, door then."

He readies his pistol to shoot at any other being other than the ones present.

I should've put the fact that I knew that there were no doors, someone technical should do that panel.

Or the Captain.

[kingfisher1112]

Tiruin decides to check out the panel, you realise you can read it's writing! One stick says thrust, one says Up/Down and another says FTL. You look out the front window and see the Zanzibar! it is relatively undamaged.

Yeah, me too.  Sorry.

Spoiler: A tip for Kingfisher1112 (click to show/hide)

Before anything: This is just my opinion on how you could garner interest, if any bit of this seems not to your liking, you are free to disregard it.

1. You need to work on the OP, or Original Post. That is where you put all the necessary general information for anyone else who would want to play in. What they may expect. A short summary or plot; a snippet on what part the players are entering, and so forth.

2. You need to put more detail to your posts. As the GM, you lead the players in a world you make, guiding them every which way. Now, what you see or think may seem perfectly clear to you; but in order for us (the players) to feel the same, you need to detail your descriptions. Make it sound believable, though I'm not saying this isn't, what I mean is that you need to work on "Update Posts" as I term them.

Posts by the GM are mostly the source of information players get here. If it's just a one, two or maybe a three liner, then the players would obviously get confused and wonder what the heck to do next. Also, as a GM, you cannot force any action out of a player unless it coincides with their action or their action is complete; leading to a plot action.

3. You do not give the obvious twist!

Yelling out "I'm changing the plot because of you-..." or anything blaming the players is a BIG NO. Even just saying you're doing a meta move is bad form.

Also, you do need to put more information in your posts, as the GM. This is the thing you're lacking. How did any of us know that we would've met any survivors? A plot twist? A lie in the OP? All we could do was guess here. What you could've done is put a note on that in the OP. Something along the lines of "When the game starts, or if all slots are filled, first: the introduction." or anything related to that.

Do NOT push your players in a maze and leave them to find their own way out!

It's like being blinded and getting kicked in the sensitive areas. Not good.

To end it all: I really liked the idea of this game, hopefully looking forward to a remake. You need to improve kingfisher, that is all I'm saying.

[kingfisher1112]

Well, thanks for these tips guys. I'm sorry for the dissapointment this gave you. However, what would you like for my next game?

[NRDL]

Feudal japan samurai adventure.

Try something you like, if you dont like it its just going to downspiral, doing something because other people want it is just dumb; but dont sadface making games takes skill and practice to do, look at anyones first game you'll find out its more likely to be lame.

Protip- Don't abandon a long running illustrated suggestion game that some people sorta like simply cause the plot's not going anywhere, cause apparently people don't like plot, which is why your clockwork detective game will fail.

fake edit- also don't use polls to make decisions if there's a draw your screwed.  Also don't narrate with poems that doesn't work either.

I liked it.

The sad thing was, when the number of suggestors ran low, I'm not sure why it dropped. Lack of conflict was my guess.

But anyway, enough of me posting in another's thread mainly based on OOC. Sorry for that.
