Rose gonna post soon?
Just posted, sorry, this part was a little tricky for me to do as i am not very good withmakign a long post out of going shopping for food. I tried to stretch it a bit by thinking about stuff.
Rose gonna post soon?
Ellie's currently underneath a table in the Pokenon Center trying to get her Togepi, if anyone wants to deal with that. :P
Anyone gonna post?
So... There seems to be a slight problem.
This RP is going along very smoothly. It seems like plenty of people like it. However, Sayoko, the GM of this RP, was last on June 4th, 10 days ago. How are we going to move on in this RP if she/he doesn't come back? Let's hope she/he does, but if she doesn't, are we going to stay in Viridian City forever, or what?
I appreciate your concern, and while I apologize I haven't been a very active GM, I also haven't noticed a need for much GM'ing at present? As you say, it's been smooth sailing so far. I also have the next few routes planned out, ready to be posted at any time should you be ready to move on. I'll be reading up on the posts now then.
Of course if you're worried about being stuck in Viridian, I could open up the next route already...

I'm probably going to start on a solo post since the joint post with Djobi isn't really getting accomplished. (Sorry, pal.)
Right, right, that's all well and good, but I have no qualms with how you're handling missions. There's really no wrong way to do it, from what I can tell. My issues are with the missions mechanic in itself.
I'd go more in-depth, and I was actually about to, but decided it was becoming less of me wanting more out of missions and far more about my personal frustrations with these "journey RPs". It's entirely based on subjectivity. I just think things feel less character-driven and more "game-y" as I plan out which route I want my character to take, etc.
Honestly, I may not even dislike the more "game-y" feel. I do like the idea of writing out my own Trainer's adventures and giving them a whole inventory and what not while also fleshing out a universe I never felt was giving that much life in the main series. On the other hand, it starts becoming less about anyone else but myself, as I've discovered in Rainbows, where I'm basically heading off on a tangent. I don't have any investment in anyone else but my character, Arthur, because his actions never impact anyone else and vise versa. This isn't helped by different perceptions of the world held between me and the others because we're essentially given a blank slate. We just feel so disconnected, it honestly irks me. Will it be the same here? I don't know. It depends on the GM's policy, what they want, and what they'll enforce.
But if you want Hearts Reborn to be a really free, open sandbox, that's perfectly fine by me. I really don't want to convince you to do things "my way". I'll stress how I interpret or have interpreted missions is mainly subjective. I also don't want to be too pessimistic, as the roleplay's just starting out. Harley was very much intended to be an attention-grabbing character so I'll definitely strive to show some initiative in terms of having an effect on other characters that isn't just short-term, as well as on the common universe we all share. So no one can ignore me, aha
I'll jump in, see if I like it, and if I don't, no skin off any of our backs, right?
