Forum talk:Tage der Albträume

Okay, many things are bugging me at this point, and before things get completely out of control, we need to take a little break and discuss some things. Please discuss those topics. The roleplay will be opened back once these things are resolved, which hopefully won't take too long. 00:08, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Time: I don't think any of us have any agreement with what time it is supposed to be. The prologue took place sometime around six o'clock in the morning, Eugene, Michael and Brandon go to the armory for the first time by seven in the morning at the latest, Doherty meets up with them shortly after and then there's a timeskip of several hours. It was my impression that when the other group entered the Reichstag it was the evening and the Sun was somewhere between just starting to set (~5:30 P.M.) and almost fully set (~8:30 P.M.), then it's suddenly midnight.
 * Usage of other user's characters: People have used, for example, my Eugene Vicks without asking me whatsoever, and there's a rule that says that users should consult others before using their characters. It just happens that I'm fine with almost everything other posters have depicted him doing, but something like this really needs to be followed.
 * The fact that some people are posting in purely quotation format. Come on, this is a huge no-no for written English. I, myself, have a really hard time telling what is going on if it's all quotes.
 * Plot continuity: So, four guys were in the Reichstag and other group of half-a-dozen others decided to go search the building for the first group they knew were in there. Eugene came up with the idea of trying to leave town for an American base and ended the chapter with a 'Who's with me?', but suddenly Allen and Cooper go outside and seemingly ditch the others. If there is no cohesion between posters, roleplays suck horribly.
 * God-modding: Everyone wanting their character to be really cool and special also makes the story corny. Scoring one-hundred confirmed kills is the limit of it, but being able to carry an MG42 around and have any thought of being able to fire accurately without a tripod or bipod or carrying an FG42, a pistol, and a flamethrower with associated tank would bog anyone down so much they would have no combat effectiveness.

I agree. Sorry about that. I got carried away. I suggest we delete all the parts where it starts to get corny and the rest. I'll edit Herzog and Cole's arsenal. As for using Herzog,

I give you permission to use him in your entries, but you cannot kill, wound, abuse him without asking me first.

As for Cole, absolutely NO ONE can touch him as I mentioned before.

Oh crap, I just now saw that before I put up my new entry. In any case, something I want to address:


 * Wilding: What the %*&# happened? One minute he's with one character, another he's speaking English and snickering when another mentions his superiors. I recall RPing him knowing next to no English other than "Don't shoot". Maybe we should roll the actualy storyline back to entry 10 or so.

Also, should we make a map of the area so there's a reference? I know that I can't figure out where the hell anyone else is. Cpl. Wilding 01:25, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
