You honestly just need to speak up in the moment instead of after it.

I mean, I do? Doesn't seem to help much even when I time it appropriately XD
Besides 11:46 isn't a good time for anybody XD
And whenever he does do it, it lasts for like a while and then he just accepts whatever is coming his way anyway.
Which shows how effective my voice is here TBH XD
It's 1:46 for me, and I've got 2 exams tmrw :v
You tell me.
You're waaaaaaaay toooooo passsive. You need to be staunch and firm. More often than not you get convinced with some unsatisfying reason.
Same. But I think it’s these secrets that could hold the story back. Someone’s secret plan can damage another character’s story arc.

I mean.. I’m killing everyone so their characters don’t matter in the end. Well that’s the only secrets so I don’t do any secrets that won’t result in you dying.
Same time for me. I have to get up at 7 today as well
It’s against my nature to leave an ongoing discussion tho lel
and that is the real issue.
We're all civil people here
I can totally have a fight with Kiro where I make it look super awesome instead of murking him in one rotation (lmfao, I'm sorry retro but it's way too funny)
Your voice does matter, so stop being convinced otherwise.
I mean when I make mention of a problem I have with a story you all tell me that it isn't an issue and I make something out of nothing. I think you can guess why this kind of back and forth would lead me to give up on trying and just go with the punches as it were XD
I have like...no secrets. I even put up Sagisō's future jutsu with detailed explanation :v

I only remember that in stuff like the sharingan which is super op so I’m gonna abuse it later on so I’m gonna not agree with you.
Nah, pretty much every time I mention a character losing a fight with gag moments sprinkled in (This cave thing) as well as Koop's decision to have the Jinchuriki just appear as well. It's plenty of colorful topics beyond just those Uchiha (Who I haven't complained about for a good while actually. Mostly cause of Yuki/Hyuga stuff XD)
Jeez, you're like @Ophious
Alright, I'll be looking out for these things next time, and I'll most definitely put a stop to it if you don't.
Well tbh, you don’t really need secrets to have an advantage. A lot of us would still get rekt by you either way.
I’m more talking about the story anyways tho so yeah lel
I mean, if you'd really pushed it then as a fact, Shen, myself and Zander would've taken your side.
I mean if you wanna know my plans for story and characters you could always just ask. It's not like they're sworn to follow me to the grave or anything.
I just haven't thought up anything for most of them :v
We'll see next time an issue like this pops up XD.
Either way I am gonna get some sleep. Will work to move the other teams in my next draft.

Idk like I have a few problems. On one hand I’m doing a bunch of stuff behind everyone’s back so I can’t do main stuff. On the other I wanna interact with people and have fun in the RP but don’t really have an oc for that. Can you guys help?
Honestly the best arc for this RP would be something that helps characters, is part of a good story, and has a lot of interactions. If we can do that constantly then we REALLY have a successful RP. And not an arc where everyone is just wanting to get the wins over people but just a regular arc

I did try to push a bunch of regular arcs xD
It's just that the interaction part was an issue. It's hard to force interaction with people that are supposed to be enemies.
Whenever we do get all the characters together its always for conflict.
Alright, I'ma edit my post and then spank @Shen: King of the Mist while Team Kakashi does their thing.

Yea honestly if Kenji for example ended up with Sagiso in the underground thing then I think it would’ve been better and there’s not really a good reason not to do that. If team Oto and team kumo ended up in an actual fight then Kenji could’ve shown off some sick lightning style and Taji could’ve actually fought and it would’ve been better than “lol you got thrown a rat to your face”
I'll just say as a closing thingy, my biggest thing with this RP is it makes us enemies and I do not like that atmosphere. This slight of hand, one up strategy style of RPing adds an air of stress to everything and battles become criminally important as they are a reflection of one's own skill and tactical insight. Which the desire to prove one is better than the other here seems to take priority over what is fun or better for the narrative.
Sagisō has no enemies. She's a neutral character, and that's the beauty of neutral characters they can interact with everyone without the constraints of a 'side'.
We can run with this idea. It's not a bad one.
Battles are fun & just fun. No one likes to lose but I don't mind a satisfying loss. If only Retro would have Kiro stop being such a pansy and be more aggressive. Then I could just have Sagisō fall for him and stop caring about basically everything else.
Kenji works too though.
Speaking of which, when are you planning to wrap up the day in the flashback? There’s no rush or anything since I know Shura wants his time with her. Just a bit concerned that Kiro is just gonna sit there wasting his time when we originally placed them there for other reasons.
Which is totally fine and is what I try to do most of the time. Prime examples being with Tayuya and Kiro, the former for which I'm trying to push a sister-hood relationship through numerous small interactions.

Tbh I feel uneasy with shen sometimes. Like I wanna have fun but then I also don’t wanna get destroyed easily. When I fought Kyuu it was just fun and I didn’t care about win or lose until the final blow happened. I think if every fight is like that in the RP it would be amazing.
She's already taken a bath so immediately. I was letting you guys take a bath too or react to Sagisō being so bold but I can also end the day now.
Eh, that's cause you're actually a pretty scary fighter lmfao. You've come closer to beating Sagisō than most people.
Nah, I said don’t rush it. I just can’t really have Kiro react to anything with Shura there and I’m concerned he might find a way to stay in the prison for the entire time.

I think it’s actually down to a more psychological level where the way you feel about your opponent before you fight them affects not only your performance but your feelings during the battle. For example, retro was hyping up LCM and it made me really want to put up a fight but not for fun but to win. If you do win it’s obviously super satisfying. However when you take a more lax approach and just think about not your opponent but just trying to do the fight how you want it it’ll be a much better experience. When retro fought Sagiso he was pretty passive I think it’s due to Kyuu being like seen as a tactics pro and he not wanting to mess up and be vulnerable

To add on to this, when you’re stressed out about your opponent you’re limited in creativity and in RPing that’s the key to winning a fight.
Funnily enough that's the very reason why he messed up in our convo fight, he was trying to be too passive.
I've got nothing to react to though..?
He could, but I kinda doubt that he would. Even if he does I can always send Shura to Hina ~w~
She’s not gonna react to Shura looking through that hole?
well, he said in discord that Shura hadn't seen her...so I guess there isn't anything to react to...
