Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

04 Mar 2021, 4:14pm
Amata LireinRan into the same problem just now. Write the other player a PM, then give him/her a reasonable time to respond (lets say a week), afterwards either just abandon the arc or, if other players are involved as well try to figure out how to continue either way without godmodding.


I fully understand that I've taken the proper steps towards informing her, and even so, that was a week ago. I'm going to inform her again, and a simple edit or another post could be more than enough to make a comprehensive story that would enable the arc to continue at a later date. Thankfully it's only with one other person, and a bit of creativity is all that's needed. So thank you for the help! I really mean it

Yeah, I edited the end of a recent one that went dark... so it just rounded the conversation off. I'm not an authority but I think, as long as you've tried to make contact, that's fair to do.

For me, I'd just try to keep it complementary with a positive end... if they've not got back in touch you don't know what's going on at home so it might not be their fault.

That's part of the reason I'm so understanding towards the inactivity. I understand what it's like to get busy or have some other thing impede your ability to continue. So, that being said, I'm most likely going to creatively freeze the arc till a further date.

Effie tapped her comms panel and sent a general text to her entire contacts list:

“Dear all, for anyone who’s interested, or perhaps even concerned, I’ll be back soon. Family issues back on my home world”

Stay safe all.

Damiyen AldonHmmm... So exactly what happens if the person you've been role-playing with goes dark? Do I just stand-by and wait? Or do I do something? I mean I'm sitting in open space. I haven't had writers block and I'm ready to role-play


Assume that the animator suffered a fatal heart attack, and the character simply disappeared.

I usually would discuss OOC stuff in here, but I was not sure if Alexandrovich understood how the RP channels worked, that's why I answered him in Off Station directly this time. Since he said he understood it I have no further intention to post OOC in there.

Mind if I ask about alien/anthromorphic OCs in the RP forums, like the Galactic Bar? Mainly is it okay to use them? I'm kind of wanting to join one of the public RPs, but I don't want to ruin the fun for others. So I'm asking now before I hop in at the Bar to test the waters.

In Elite's lore there are/were only two spacefaring alien races: The Thargoids and the extinct Guardians. That is why I personally would advise against it.

A Sappho unit from Achilles Corp. has been sighted in the GalBar from time to time.

I would not consider a gynoid a 'real' alien.
