[Ural]'s Weekly Updates
#1
Hail! So I've been inspired by @Loxmardin's own thread. I've got all these ideas zipping around in my noggin and it would be good to see if I can make any progress in bringing them forward. Guess I'll start small as well!

Plans for this week . . .
  • Set up a small area for a spontaneous event.
    • Give it a storyline and test it out.
    • PUG it up!
  • Finish a profile! I've got a couple few laying about...
    • Contemplate a CMC / Storyteller to use for these spontaneous events.
  • Work on a theme and outline of events. Similar by feel and cast of crew, yet independent from each other. If you miss one, you'll still be able to pick it up again. Specifically avoid a grand finale.
    • I've already decided on the antagonist. What I have not decided, is to make it a PC or NPC.
The true test of his choice lies forward.
— The story of the Silithian.


See life through shades of silver.

You should totally make the villain a PC. We need us some evil RP on CotH, 'fyou ask me.
"Good roleplaying is not equivalent to saying that your character is not interested or molded for a certain situation.
Quite the contrary - good roleplaying is making up a reason for your character to do that thing, no matter the obstacles!"

Oh my how time flies when you're busy! Too much coloring and modules soaks up too much effort. So back to the basics!

Previous goals
  • Finish Ural's profile! Come on, you can do it. Check!
  • Progress though BB's outline to the second event so I can start running it!
  • Polish up The Brittle Bunch workshop post.
    • Both cancelled in favor for a lore specific storyline I'm helping other staff with.
  • About time for another character consolidation. In progress!
  • Create a plotline for Valda. Started!
  • RP a dragon? Scary thought! Lack of communication with the various Sworn. Maybe they're not interested?


Goals for this week . . .
  • Work on that plotline along with the other staff.
    • Check zone for NPCs.
    • Check zone for hostile mobs.
    • Check hubs for aesthetics.
  • Make some inquiries to people I see and ask if they need any help with their own events, formulating storylines or plotting for character development.
  • Begin another profile.

Well you'd think I'd give up by now. But nae, have an update!

Previous goals
  • Work on that plotline along with the other staff. Check!
    • Check zone for NPCs.
    • Check zone for hostile mobs. I actually didn't get any of these done. Hmph
    • Check hubs for aesthetics.
  • Make some inquiries to people I see and ask if they need any help with their own events, formulating storylines or plotting for character development. I totally forgot about this one. Sorry folks.
  • Begin another profile. I've started a few!

Goals for this week . . .
  • Re-commit to updating this next Saturday!
  • Continue making additions to my user space and update a couple of my profiles with some pictures!
  • Finish the second part of the storyline outline by Friday.
  • Complete another profile!
    • Or start a Demon Hunter profile. They intimidate me, and thus a worthy challenge.
    • Ask for advice!
  • Don't give up on my crushed DK.

My response to Geoni's What would compel you to log on and RP?

His answer a few posts later.

(05-19-2014, 04:07 PM)Geoni Wrote: After asking yourself what compels you to log on and RP, ask yourself how you can make whatever that is instead of waiting for somebody to make that for you, even if you can only try.

A great call-to-action. Something I might say to myself or even offer for advice. Have you ever been in a spot where someone says something like that? Had it just been half a year ago, you might have said the same very thing? It's a peculiar self-revelation to experience. "I should've thought of that." sort of thinking. It would be easy to dismiss it with a "yeah but" -but- I ain't gonna let that happen. Nope. So I'll make a list to help anyone feeling the same as me.

Goals for this week . . .
  • Sort out my character roster.
    • I need to weed out characters I feel indifferent about. I need to be excited about my characters to really get into them. This will help me overcome less-than-ideal RP situations because I will be more eager to join just to have the chance roleplaying my character.
  • I should update their wiki pages.
    • I had a lot of success drumming up desire to RP Valda after I put some effort into her wiki page.
  • Make a new personals thread for myself.
    • If I want to be invited to roleplay, I need to put myself out there. I need not to veil my interests so well that no one knows about them. I need to clearly define my expectations so that both parties know what they are investing their time in.
  • I need to get out there!
    • While the above points will help planning out roleplaying, I need to also be available for spontaneous things. Y'know, when you're idling and someone says "Hey let's start some RP!" Yes, that's an invitation. Jump on it!
