(ooc) too many big events happen all the time
| City events don't run on a schedule- they occur as the the people interact and conflict happens. You don't need to keep up with everything, nor should you try to unless you have plenty of free time. It's like people IRL trying to keep up with the news; it's just not possible all the time.
| I can't even keep up with every ARG going in the city right now because there's so many new people that I'd need a few hours sifting through every thread now, so I just focus on a couple of them.
| Same. I do agree that a lot is happening, but to be honest? A lot is happening right now in the real world too. Like ALOT. Giant wildfires, asshole politicians doing asshole things, the net neutrality debacle...and then you have all the crazy shit going on in each respective town.
That said I get where you're coming from. Maybe you can help to create a more chill space where people can just survive and go 'jesus fuck this week, huh?'
| tbh i'm starting to miss when 3/4 of cyb was nothing but bar threads. I'm willing to bet all the inhabitants of glitch (even the villains) could really use a drink right now.
| the draw of this community is that you never know what will happen and someone can come in and throw the whole thing off track and turn the story in a different direction. If you want a bubble grab some friends and do your own rp
| "you don't need to keep up with everything" but you do because it decides you're involved, is what I'm saying
| Only as far as you want to be involved. It's like driving through a protest which slows down traffic, and then you get home, pop on the television, and forget that it happened.
Terrorist attacks happen outside almost all the time but they only ever affect the people at ground zero while everyone else need only suffer a month's worth of television specials about the tragedy, people talking about it in the grocery, and maybe an uptick in the price of gas, for all it does anyone.
| You walked down an alley, got chased by a fat zombie that was so slow you could have just ignored it and moved on, and still arrived at the Flooded District no one the wiser because of how PC plot armor works. How this is even a problem is beyond me.
| It's a problem because there's no downtome for things to be normal and work on personal plotlines, big events are fine but big events every single day are too much, and when anybody has to power to insert the plot they want into your own it's basically like hijacking the whole thing
| There are so many player in the game that its imposible for things to go "as planned" this is from TY. I expected to go grab that guy no prob byt all of a sidden zombies and the way it was done was neat too. its best to not try to always pull the rp in a direction but to gently push here and there, giving others there time. just caise a zombie shows up does not mean that everything has to change. you work around what everyone does and it helps the story grow.
| Time to get used to walking your groceries home, stepping to the opposite side of the road to avoid some zombies then go on your regular way
| But are these really *big* events?
I mean lets be honest here, in regards to the state of Glitch City, where it was canon in game that it was regular for governmental organizations to shut down and people to lynch White Knights in the streets, frankly none of this shit I would consider to be immediately endgame or life changing.
Its all important of course, the riots and the zombies, but they are not the end of the world. They are just things that happen in Glitch City.
| Just as much, I enjoy it all anyway, and I think it's perfect where it is at. Its obvious that the /cyb/ arg coordinators are all working their creative asses off to do this kind of stuff, and nobody has ever complained before that a story has "too much content" unless it is all over the place, which this isn't when you consider that this is an anonymous chatboard where there isn't a specific topic that EVERYBODY is talking about.
| In all honesty, that's the glamour of the cyberpunk asthetic: the terrible dystopian nature of it all. If anything, you should have your regular characters that are "living their lives" react to this in very regular ways. THAT is the ideal reaction to this sort of situation.
Like, would your bartender try to serve one of these zombies a drink? Or would they bar the door? Maybe they are hosting a video game party or something until this all blows over-regular things cyberpunks do.
| I'm proud of the admin and the team of people that coordinate this all. More effort has been put into this roleplaying universe than any other roleplay I've ever been in. Down times are okay and required occasionally, I must admit, but I'm just glad /cyb/ is popping busy right now. I'd rather have it be busy than dead all the time.

<3 Much love, sq/u/adfams.
| Man I'm just waiting on a few choice (Setting) threads. I'm getting tired of the crisises. I can't keep up with all of them, and now I have a half developed picture of what's been happening. At this point I'm just ignoring it, I don't have much time to read through all those threads

| We just got out of riots and now we have a zombie craze? I don't know if there supposed to be related but I thought the whole point was to have mostly normal people in their day to day lives, it's hard to keep that up when there's a crisis every other day. Am I the only one feeling like it's gotta slow down a bit?
