The Timeline Discussion thread

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 6:17 am

Was not creative enough for a new name for the universe. PFA and I were looking between "Awesome Palace" "Fortress of Pizazz" or "Temple of Ba'aws" as possible new names for our universe. The Timeline fits in nicely for now however.

Please discuss.

Yeah, I'll agree with that. "The timeline." That sounds good.

What was wrong with "Fortress of Pizazz?"

Anyway, I take it we're closing up KSS? Are we still on for the Imperial City?

I was kind of hoping Solidor could take the knights. Then we could still do it.

Take Leadership over the knights, Solidor.

Huh? Didn't see that.

EDIT: So he did. As for leadersship, not sure. I've never liked planning/plotting etc in RP's. I prefer to post and use initiative to guide rather than delegate.

The roleplay is dear to peoples hearts bro, but its a bit too grand and true to its course of time for it to finish anytime soon and with as busy as everyone is, I believe its better to go with shorter more focused variations of roleplays in the timelines. It does not have the same dramatic value as playing out all of these scenes but will at least allow us to wrap things up in a way respectful of everyone's wishes (mostly everyone) and breath some fresh air and shake things up a bit.

By the way, I am writing up the last scene, figure the Siege of Taneth to be the true pivotal point of the war where things begin to turn around and enough where the Church of Mara can use its political weight a bit more as well as the Imperial Battlemages. So if everyone would like to add in their characters final scene whether it be in Taneth or otherwise feel free to pm me and I'll include it in along with the narratives to be added in at the end.

I aim to have it all done by Friday.

How will this be done, one Fanfic style post or will we all be collaborating on an agreed final plot arc to wrap things up similar to what was planned with SoS?

The aim is to have an ending everyone agreed on, for the sake of saving my fingers it was discussed in the last thread. Feel free to add in your input. And Im aiming for one fan fiction post with the aid of other people to write for their characters and groups.

I'm happy with anything I guess. I made a maximum of around 6/7 posts in KSS any ways so I wasn't around long enough for this one to really influence it much. Perhaps next time. I'm more interested in whats planned next.

I was actually discussing some stuff with Tidus. I'd like to do a smaller thing within the Nordic Confederation or something centered around Wayrest and Orsinium.

I'd like to read about what you guys have in mind for the Confederation, though I know PFA didn't really want to do anything with it, mostly because I want to write a continuation of Northpoint and if you guys add to the Confederation history to the point the Timeline is in now, then I have something substantial to add :P

Not sure, but it seems like a good time for me to kill off Aventurnus.

It should forever remain the Immortal Blood Timeline. Theres no point in changing the name, regardless if IB wish's to be apart of it or not.

My whole idea is that the current RP just doesn't have enough steam and never moved at a reasonable enough pace to finish. My whole idea was to shift all the written lore we have into the Skyrim age since it's the most recent and a hellava lot more interesting than anything Oblivion left with us. I just don't want to force anybody or act like i'm taking my ball and going home.

One thing I really want to do is create a much more grim image of Skyrim. Skyrim moved in the right direction from OB which seemed almost cartoonish but I don't feel like it's quite there. I want to give it more of a dark age/nightmare sort of feel. Like this werewolf plot in the college of winterhold leads to discovering a molag bal cult where the currency is depravity and egoism. Really kind of go deep with the dark and demented.

It doesn't have enough steam because you never tried man. Go take Skyrim where you want to take it. I've talked to Story and we're sticking with this. Yeah, Skyrim has its pros and cons, but we'll still sticking with the original timeline. Just because the one RP is ending doesn't mean we can't continue. It went 7 threads, if that means anything. We've already had this discussion once earlier in the threads and we all agreed not to go to Skyrim. Just because you pulled a fast one and didn't post, resulting in the RP's death doesn't mean we're changing our minds, or at least I'm not.

Wooly, the whole point of the Timeline is that it doesn't die solely because the guy who put the first thread up doesn't show up for a while. No one person 'killed' this RP and it's pointless to go pointing fingers. We all had some fine writery in there and now it's stopped because, as Asap correctly noted and as I've suspected myself for a bit of a while now, a realistic conventional war can't be portrayed start to finish in a continuous RP.

Best of luck with the Skyrim thang, Immortal. I still say we should become the Fortress of Pizzazz or the Temple of Ba'aws now that we've broken free of the autocrat.

Story, I'll try to have Liburnus' death scene written up for Friday and in your inbox. Got the second half of the week off so should have plenty of time for that.

As for where to go next, personally I'd like a quick mini RP in the Imperial City. Have the build-up to and including an all-important Elder Councill session where the Councillors must decide upon the appropriate reciprocatory action against Anvil's Kvatch claim and where several competing behind-the-scenes parties for the title of Emperor finally decide to make their move, under the eyes of observers from all over Tamriel; maybe it all will even end in a nice bloody coup. Hopefully walk away from it with an emperor on the throne and the makings of an active, potent Empire (or not, depending on who gets put on the throne).
