He could declare it over simply by closing the threads related to it.

[Twi]

the lore of this game is a gigantic patchwork of tons of stuff that I am sure nobody, including elf, as completely memorized - and nobody has been so kind to write it down

Hence why we need to start writing it down. Get a google doc or github or something, start making a list of everything established about the world.

Also, he could, but he can't start us from starting our own threads. He can close the thread, but not delete its contents. Emp's lists, for instance, will still remain.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Oh yeah, I would get angry about that too, except that I'm a little surprised you consider RotMG really 'yours'. I mean, most of the start was Scapheap's, and most of the world lore probably belongs to Rag...

* Twi shrugs.

Actually, not really. Most of the world lore is altered real-life lore; Rag owns the Creation shit. I handle Persona/Superpowers/real mythology. Emp handles Fate/Wall Street. Scap owns the Layars- hence why I haven't done much with them, as he didn't give me any lore about them at the end when he handed it over. Everyone else owns bits and pieces, but Emp, Rag and I own most of the lore.

I consider it mine because I got it and I kinda feel guilty that I didn't turn it into a huge, Einsteinian Roulette-style game, only with magical girls and more idealism, hence why I want to end it and start over.

also Elf, GM or not, the game is running mostly independant from you. If you declared it over, it would probably keep running, like that self-sustaining fission sun thing in spiderman 2.
and if you actually contacted Toady to close the thread, now that would be a bit of a spoilsport, wouldn't it? I mean, what's the point in closing the thread if you can just walk away and not GM it? Just to force everyone to play in your new thread instead?

Analogy: Someone founds a nation, leaves the nation mostly independant and when he finds the nation is not running the way he wants to, declares the nation over? Things will just keep running. Don't be angyr Elf, be proud, ROTMG is the most popular and active game around - why exactly would you even want it to be forcefully closed?

Because, frankly, implying that I have no authority whatsoever on my game is going to irritate me. Yes, I am proud. Running this game was- and is- an honor to do. However, sometimes, being ticked off when shit like this happens is going to happen. No, I am probably not going to shut down this thread any time soon- if I do, it will be because I am either terminally ill and therefore cannot run it any longer, or when everyone leaves it- which I hope they don't.

[Twi]

I'll commence making lore flowcharts after dinner.

[kj1225]

I don't want Einsteinan roulette.

I want this.

[Akroma]

He could declare it over simply by closing the threads related to it.

I said that. But really, what's the point? If Elf doesn't like how things are going in the thread, and feels he is no longer enjoying it, he could simply leave it alone, let someone else take over the GMing and open a new thread.
Forcefully closing this thread to make sure nobody else can enjoy the game any longer just because he isn't, so everyone has to migrate to the new thread seems like a very aggressive way of going about this.


That being said, I didn't say that you had no authority whatsoever. Yours is word from god that solves every problem here. My point is, that you can't just simply close the thread and expect everyone to just accept that. Just because you no longer want to play doesn't mean you can just make everyone else forcefully quit. Well, technicaly you *can* because forum mechanics, but seriously, why would you? So many people have invested so much time in this, any the sheer length of the plot queue serves to show how much more time and thought they have still in store for this game. Why ruin everyones fun by closing it?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

In case you guys might be thinking; I'm not shutting the game down. I've been toying with the idea, but seeing the game grow this big makes it altogether too sad for me to. However, I am going to try and take my responsibilities more seriously. I do warn you about the difficulties of running it with large posts of plot and turnposts without a computer, again, but I will try.

Twi is now one of the official lore managers. PM me if you want to be the second.

As for lore experts, Emp, Rag, and I have the lore on Fate/Twilight, Creation/Void, and Persona/Gods/Superpowers/anything else respectively. Thus, we are your designated loremasters. Kj is also for IRIS which isn't too defined anyway.

@Akroma When did I say I didn't want to play? I said I was getting irritated. I've already established, twice, that I won't end this game except if everyone leaves. Therefore, providing various arguments towards keeping the game alive is irrelevant when I've decided I will anyway.

[Akroma]

hmm, I take it the lore my plot is about to bring in is already approved, and I only have to PM it to the lorelittes once it actually becomes relevant, that is at the end of my first plot?


or should I do so immediatly and spoiler the stuff?

I'm grandfathering in any plots that were approved prior to lore managers.

[Twi]

Fuck PMs, ask me out loud first. PM if you want to manage PRIVATE lore. Still, there's a lot of lore out there that's public, it just isn't easily accessible.

So....yeah. You and USEC are now lore/plot reviewers. Put that up in the OP.

*toots horn* We should set up a couple of google docs, actually. For management purposes.

What I'm doing at this instant.
I'll add USEC to the editor list soon.

And a private one too, for sneaky hidden stuff?

[Twi]

Of course, but this first, then sneaky hidden stuff.
