Discussion Topic for Oz: Crossroad of Legends (Crossover RP)

Okay. You clearly DO NOT understand how serious this is. This is a f****** serious health problem. Either you agree to play ball and be a decent f****** human being and take this seriously, or I am dropping out of OZ right this second. Choose. Now.

Idea: Instead of having to go through what would normally amount to death before carding, after taking enough damage characters convert to card form. More or less, after coming to the point of no longer being able to fight back on account of injuries, Elia fades for a few moments before turning into a card.

I just said I wasn't going to have crazed Irving deal the finishing blow, and since a lot of the things crazed Irving does would very likely result in a finishing blow with minimal effort, that basically means not touching Elia at all. I'm not going to promise not to go crazed at all because that would take out a good chunk of the point of an entire character, but I was going to write around it to the best of my ability anyway.

But if you feel like you're going to get triggered by violence inflicted on Elia regardless, even if it's something obvious like a gunshot, then maybe you shouldn't force your writing into a situation where you would have no choice but to actually read what's going on. Maybe have Vinnie sit it out so that you can just ignore the posts you wouldn't have to read anymore (the ones with warnings on them before the actual writing starts, ideally).

EDIT: And before you jump the gun and say I'm not taking you seriously, I am saying that I'm trying to reach a compromise, and point out that if an idea comes at the risk of personal health, then maybe it's better to discard the idea and do something else that doesn't require having to deal with the offending material.

I'l help make sure things aren't overboard and can also deal with a lot of things from my end of the writing, by having Elia counter things.

Vincent is going to arrive just as Elia turns into a card. He's not going to have enough time to register how badly she's injured, just that it is her. I planned that exactly for that reason.

And no, Emppy, it's actually not as hard as you make it sound. GX will help make sure things don't go overboard, like she said. Yes, it will take a bit more effort than writing willy nilly whatever you please. But that's part of being in a RP with multiple people. Sometimes, you have to work with others.

Well, you know your limits better than I do, but remember that you're going to read Elia getting ganged up on by a lot of people who likely won't have an in-story reason to hold back, so be aware of what you're about to get into and don't do something you'll regret.

Random world building tip: If the party's short of funds (even though Yuleia will give them a budget), they can collect Komodo dung and sell them for a decent price, since they are sought after as a fantastic fertilizer.

Ethan will be a non-issue. He's going to be distracted by Alexus's mooks throughout the battle, and then by the Witch afterwards.

I was wondering what was going to keep Ethan from interfering with the encounter. Then again why would the witch want only Ethan and not the people actually going inside the tree. Is it because the Witch sees Ethan as a legit threat?
