The Great Plague RP Discussion thread

I really like Kor's idea. It'd especially be interesting if the Gang decides to leave while the adults are talking and the adults have a legitimate reason why they can't go to the land of mists-- like, they know something is going on over there that the kids don't or something.

Kor · **Reply #101 on:** August 03, 2013, 10:49:45 PM

Could be Some farwalkers told them. I'm sure the'd share some news of things they had seen. If I recall correctly that's how mr Thicknose said he learned a lot of what he knows, listening to farwalkers, when he was a kid.

Ducky123 · **Reply #102 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:14:12 AM

That's a good idea, Kor!

The Land of Mists might be hostile to the Gang at times so the grown-up's concerns may be right.
Whether the Gang meets the grown-ups again or not is completely up to you, I enjoy it wither way and either way it'll work

Alright, so what IS going on over at the land of mists? We've been circling this subject for awhile now, and we still haven't really decided what is going on over there that:
1) Turns an already dangerous swampy area into a place so dangerous that the adults would never let their children go there.
2) Will would create a long term conflict that would keep the kids there, regardless of whether they find what they were looking for or not, and
3) Would allow an avenue for Ali to be involved in the story.

Any ideas?

Ducky123 · **Reply #104 on:** August 04, 2013, 05:34:17 PM

My idea is that the LoM is not that hostile anymore but it'll still be a dangerous place to travel through.
Ali's herd will be there (and how about their grown-ups being ill as well?) but the night-flowers won't.
They will meet old and new enemies to be confronted with of course (guess who)...

Kor · **Reply #105 on:** August 04, 2013, 10:04:39 PM

Sounds like that could work, if Ali's herd's adults are sick that could make sense that they would go to the Land of Mists.

Ducky123 · **Reply #106 on:** August 05, 2013, 06:35:17 AM

Right...

that's the reason for them to be in the LoM in the first place

That'd be one reason why Ali won't be the Ali they know (but there's also another one only the one that plays Ali will be told about to make this more interesting both for you and any Readers and followers of this RP

)

Okay, so what's in the land of mists that would provide some sense of hazard? Otherwise, it'll just feel like a retread of the Land Before Time 4. Something new has to be there to change the experience of the land of mists from before. The adults being there and being sick would certainly help, so is there anything we can add to that? I did put fourth the idea of a Koolasuchus and Quetzacoatlus possibly being antagonists along with Ichy and Dil; is that still provoking interest, or should we scrap them and think of something else?

Ducky123 · **Reply #108 on:** August 06, 2013, 05:41:46 AM

I'm still interested in this idea, Loyfe

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #109 on:** August 06, 2013, 11:28:16 AM

That's good to hear, but to follow up on that: would that be enough for a story? What else, if anything, should we add?

Ducky123 · **Reply #110 on:** August 06, 2013, 04:53:49 PM

If you think the story will end with the Gang finding the Night Flowers in the LoM curing all plagued dinosaurs, you're wrong. I have a rough plot in mind which, in fact, MurMur suggested in a PM. Ichy &Dil and the two villains you have planned will be a dangerous thread and they'll be each others opponents as well what makes the whole thing more interesting plus I'm sure there is quite some room for humorous posts

I don't think I need to tell you what that all is about, need I? :unsure: Knowing the whole story in advance is not what I personally prefer. Sure the end will be a happy one but the way to that end will be hard and many challanges have to be overcome. Characters will find themselves in situations in which they're endangered of dieing more than once (we already had one, 'member?

).
I'm not the guy who actually wants to know spoilers though I'm telling far too many myself

I hope this is answering your question, Loyfe.

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #111 on:** August 06, 2013, 09:28:24 PM

Oh of course. I wouldn't want to know the plot ahead of time. I'm just wondering, is enough out in open now that we can finally move forward. I think your right: it probably is. We just need someone who roleplays one of the adults to break the ice and get things moving forward again.

Kor · **Reply #112 on:** August 06, 2013, 10:27:22 PM

Break the ice in which way? Just curious.

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #113 on:** August 06, 2013, 10:53:24 PM

Just makes a post that will allow the story to continue. It's still at a standstill.

The kids have done their part and gave told their parents that they're worried about them and they want to help. The adults HAVE to react to this in some way before anything else can happen, even if that reaction is to ask the kids if they can have a discussion amongst themselves.
The first poster will give the incentive for what action the rest of the adults are to follow.

Kor · **Reply #114 on:** August 06, 2013, 11:38:53 PM

ok, I edited my post, which was the last there. Not sure if it would help. I did get an idea that may start the debate/arguing among the adults.

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #115 on:** August 06, 2013, 11:43:16 PM

Yep, that should definitely work. You rock, Kor

Now things should finally get rolling.

Ducky123 · **Reply #116 on:** August 07, 2013, 02:34:32 PM

I took the liberty to analyze some things

You may use some of the reasonings Tria had done.

Thanks for starting it, Kor

Well, I'm leaving beautiful, beautiful Utah for a week on a vacation to Belize, and I'm pretty sure their internet connection isn't the most top notch in the world. Someone will have to take my place as Littlefoot in that time. Any takers?

Ducky123 · **Reply #118 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:15:01 PM

As long as nobody else wants him, I can take Littlefoot though I doubt I'd have much to do considering our current speed (nobody's gonna post? again?).

Belize? That's a beautiful place I suppose

Enjoy your vacation, Loyfe

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #119 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:34:30 PM

Sounds great, Ducky

Thanks!
