Setting Things Straight

[Sinclair]

I wrote this epically long post explaining my position so that you didn't get the wrong idea about what I was trying to say.But, I don't think you're going to read an epically long post. So let me make it short, and please don't jump at me XD

But where I drew everyone back here after noticing that Sparrow got on forever ago, where I had a hand in making this all happen (though of course Coldfire did the hard part with coding and plots and such) I feel obligated to do my best to try to save it, or at least preserve some sense of,'hey, if we want to, we can still rp together.'. I'm not about to bully anyone into staying, or into liking or going with my idea. That's all it is, an idea. My assessment, really.

If you're opposed to it for any reason, or any part of it, tell me so! Tell me what you think. Tell me what you'd do instead.

Here's how things stand in my mind; no one's posting. No one seems to be getting on here on a daily basis. And for various reasons, one RPer or the other seems to find it hard to reply to each RP we have open. Me, to the Desi/Sparrow baby one (though it was my idea and epic at the time. I just kinda don't have the muse) and you guys to each of your respective topics that you're in. This is what I want to fix.

I have decided that taking characters from one site to another is an epic mistake, too, so I kind of wonder. . .This CRA is not the original CRA, and Desi wasn't the same. Sin thrived, while Desi was just kinda there. So, my idea is that maybe we should start over. Maybe we should drop any characters we don't wanna use, start new plots, new relationships, new characters, new events. Let's let our characters change if that's the way they wanna go. let everyone get to know each other again, let's see who works together and who doesn't. I don't wanna give up Sin or Desi, but I don't want to try to make them the same, I wanna let them be who they'll be, let my posts go without being influenced by what happened on this site or our last site. I want my character's relationships to be based upon topics started from this point onward. That's how I feel we can salvage this. What do you think? My primary goal is to keep contact with you, Sparrow <3 You're one of my favorite people to RP with, and the only person I don't have an MSN address for (as I have Coldfire's, Anna's, and Phoenix's) and I really, really love you and your characters soo much <3

[Sparrow]

I think we should def clear the air here. We all need some muse and if the only way to do that is to start over, then let's do it. I love my charries but I also love playing them! Whatever needs to happen should happen so we don't lose this place again!

PS I love you too Sin <3 Let's keep in contact no matter what!

[Decadence]

I like the idea of starting over, but I'm not so sure I'd wanna start compleeeeetely over...

I mean, yes, a lot of the topics were some epic fail, and I would love nothing more than to pretend they never even happened, but at the same time, we have some super awesome topics on here that I would be sad to part with. </3

I think what we should do is have some sort of topic cemetery, where we can move all of the topics that we want to just pretend never happened. But those few topics that are like, "awwwwww<3" that we actually really love, I think we should keep those. That way, instead of starting over, we can reset everything back to where it was still perfect-- where Sin and Isabelle were JUST cute best friends, Sin didn't cause Isabelle's death, etc.



Also, is there anyway that we can just erase everything past, like... page 2 or 3 on the 'anything for you' topic? xD I love the beginning of that thread, so I wouldn't want to throw away the cute parts, just the part where we all kinda went crazy... xD

[Sinclair]

I definitely agree. But I'm not so sure that starting over is the best way. I just don't see many options to chose from, and we tried the 'start from where we left off' when this site began. It worked for a while, of course it did, and I, personally had a lot of fun. And, if I have anything to say about it, we won't lose contact <33

I don't wanna delete anything, really. Just. . .fill up our archive board, aha.

And I know what you mean, as Sin and Isabelle made me go,"Aww!" a million times over. Maybe that compromise would still work out <3 I'd love for them to be best friends again, and I think their meeting was soo cute, anyway. It /might/ still have the same effect. We could at least try it, and if we absolutely needed to start over again, we could always do it later.

[Phoenix]

Heyo guys, im still here aha

Yah we appear to be in a bit of a coma here and starting over might be the best option, but i'm just gonna keep all my characters again cause i've carried them over from about 4 different sites and parting with them doesn't feel right.

However, if better options are presented, I'm good with that as well. I'm not very creative in the field of 'restarting'.

[Sparrow]

My thought is that I want to keep all my charries but I need to work out something for Taki... hmmmm....

Also, I would love to let Kaycee and Jace continue on their evil paths, Lily and Nick can pursue their relationship (if that's ok with Phe? XD) and Sparrow and Desirae should have their wedding soon with their darling little boy who is yet unnamed!

[Sinclair]

I think all our drama killed Sin. I mean, I screwed him over pretty good by having him cheat for no good reason, right after he told the love of his life that he really did love her. How do I go back from that?

So if nothing else happens, I want to reset Sin. Anna and I will be deciding which topics to delete/pretend didn't exist, for which we require and request your cooperation <3 Honestly, I don't care if the rest of your characters reset or are deleted, 'cause so long as Sin and Isabelle function, Shea's pretty dang happy.

To begin with; Isabelle didn't die. Anna and I both adore Kaycee and are not opposed to drama with her if you're still interested, Sparrow, but Isabelle cannot die. Furthermore, Isabelle and Sin are not dating yet. He can go with the 'date Kaycee' thing, but I believe we should ignore the topic where they're already together because it's set under the circumstance that Isabelle had died. Though it may be an easy fix, or an easy change, I don't want to.bother.

[Decadence]

I have a request.

Please play "Airplanes" by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams. <3

No, not really, that wasn't my request. xD

I have a thread request!

I request that Sinclair and Kaycee have sort of a 'flashback' thread to show what it was like when they were actually together in the past. <33 That would be pretty amazing if you guys could do it.

Or, or, Shea and I were just talking about how, if Isabelle and Sinclair go back to being just friends, Sinclair can go and do whatever the hell he wants with Kaycee without having cheating on his conscience. ;D

Anyway. That is my request.
(Please note, Anna is strange when she's tired.)

[Phoenix]

I'm a little confused, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I'm picking up on so far:

For the most part, we want to keep our charries/some posts, however a few characters/posts want to be deleted.

I'm all for keeping the Nick/Lily relationship, because we have had them dating for several months before the whole storyline began (if that makes sense?) So we could probably get away with just keeping the posts we already have? Unless you wanted to change things with Taki, but for the most part, we can just leave Nick/Lily the way they are?

I'm thinking I'll keep my posts in existance (if that makes sense?) except for the ones where people are being deleted/restarted.

Unless the plan is to restart the whole thing?

Bleh I'm confused. Please help Phoenix out

[Sparrow]

Ok, I have an idea for that whole deal.

Personally, I prefer the Isabelle/Sin thingy whether its friendship or relationship cause they are just too darn cute! ^.^ Plus, Kaycee is such a flirtaious bitch I can't picture her in any role but single. So I think it is better if she just plots and plans and tries to destroy the lives of others in her own special way Without much success of course!

I love Nick and Lily so for sure Phe! And I don't really have too many posts left ANYWAY so I'm ok with just starting some new ones and letting ya'll know where my characters are at and working from there? But let's not reset the WHOLE thing if we don't have to?

So for me...

Sparrow: He is the proud father of a young baby boy (just a few months I presume?) and is happily planning his wedding with Desirae, the love of his life. Which by the way, should happen soon?

Jace: Doing his assassin thing and enjoying his evil little life.

Kaycee: Ditto to her twin but hacking into multiple computers to work on her newest evil plans. (Which I have not decided yet! )

Liliana: dating her wonderful Nick and better understanding both life at the Corporation and her powers in general.

Finally, Taki: Ok, he is a bit more complicated since I am on the fence with him. I would love to keep him but I would also like to invest more in the plot with him and his new servanthood job. Also, if ya'll could keep using him like the little slave he is- I would have more oppurtunities to play him.

So NOW, I am going to go make a post involving my Archangels and then one with Sparrow to help move this process along. Reply if you wish!

AND......... SIN!! We need a name for our son!!

[Phoenix]

Alright if thats the case then I'll go with my plan of just keeping everything and only deleting where characters are being restarted?

The only things I really need to know is are we restarting the Sin/Isabelle thing, or whats going on there, only because Dark Angel and Nick were involved in Isabelle's death, so I need to know how much didn't happen?

Wilder, Matt, Ally, and Paige will just keep trekking along and doing their own thing cause I think they can just stick to what they're doing, as they don't seem to be currently involved in any big life changing events. Addie and Davina aren't really in the game yet, so they can just stay like that till we get back on our feet.

And also, are we going to keep going with the fight post? Cause if so, it seems to be dying off, so we would probably be best to shoot everyone with the sins/virtues so we can continue on with the plot?

Do we have a thread where we say our own mini-plots involving characters? Or ideas for characters? Some/most are fairly obvious, but there's some that probably need to be brought out in the open so they can be put into play. I dunno, now im just sorta thinking out loud haha. I'll be quiet now >.<

[Sinclair]

All I know is it's too dramatic- Sinclair cannot survive having his girlfriend die. Much worse, cheating on her directly after was bad on my part. Before he said he loved her, fine, that would have been an interesting plot twist, and it would have added to our 'Isabelle and Sin must end up together' as Justin will now do. I mean, I only did it 'cause I really love playing with you, Sparrow. But I cannot play Sinclair with that hanging over him.

As it stands, Sin cannot die as a character or muse. I love Anna too much. And, Anna, I must preserve the Zero-ness at all costs!. I need practice now, I'm not as epic as I was when I was eleven as everyone remembers, unfortunately. Lots of pressure to get it right. Which is kinda screwed up, if you think about it. Oh well! XD

Er, anyway! I'm kinda over it and will go with whatever at this point XD I mean, I have Hammel, I have Anna, and I have JoBeth <33

Which means, life is freakin' awesome right now. ^_^ And so long as you guys can keep RPing, everything's good with me. I really don't mean to confuse you, and I don't know how to fix it, and I don't want to reset anyone's character that doesn't want it to happen. The only reason I suggested it was to kickstart CRA, but if you think you can do it without my suggestion, I'm all for it.

Sparrow! Creativity is not my strong suit, as it turns out. Thinking of a name is hard, and I wouldn't wanna pick something you're not fond of. I meann, based upon my characters, I can pick some random names xD Nikolai, Jericho, Zeroun, Desirae, Tasmine, Sinclair, and Cymir, for example -- I really probably wouldn't be the best one to come up with a name. We could always brainstorm some, and hold a poll! Or, you could just tell me what names you like/have thought of or considered <3

[Decadence]

@ Phe ( + anyone else involved)

We realize we're being super difficult & making things overly complicated, but we really appreciate you bearing with us. We're really just trying to get our muses back.

We're pretending that the whole Isabelle-gets-executed thing never happened; we're assuming she got out safely that day... which, now that I think about it, doesn't really affect anyone all that much, since after the 'going back in time and fixing it' plot, all of the other characters wouldn't remember it anyway...


anyhow, yeah. that whole situation never happened at all. sorry for changing our minds about the storyline like 5 times. XD Thanks so much for pretending with us. That's all.

p.s. hey Phe, I'd love to start a new thread with you if you're up for it. Our Matt & Isabelle one kinda died

[Sparrow]

Ok then Sinclair if you're going to be difficult, *sigh*... just kidding! Here are some I like that are unique and strong baby boy names....

Pick one?

• Xander
  
• Cody
  
• or maybe something like Skyler...
  

These are not written in stone but I was trying to get us thinking, you know?

So is everyone out of confusion now? O.o

[Sinclair]

XD This is me we're talking about. When am I not difficult?

Anyway, I like Xander and Skyler! <3 Cody, not as much, but it's still cool ^_^
