A Constructive Arx Thread

Rowan

@kalakh Thank you for this. Good luck to you, staff and anyone else who’ll be working on future Arx.

The Stand at Farhaven was everything and more than I could have hoped for. Reading channels cheering us all on and investing with us on this event. An amazing group of players who threw absolutely all in, and to whom I am super grateful not just for this, but for staying on this crazy northlands road during lots of ebbs and waves. Add in @Apos’s incredible storytelling while somehow GM’g all of us and whatever we were doing…man.

Magnificent

@watno what does this gif mean

@Roz Given the recent news about Vince McMahon, I too want to know what that gif means.

I mean I didn’t know the recent news until you said something and I looked it up so I wouldn’t assign anything nefarious to it.

Looks like @watno is just choked up by something that happened if I had to guess, emotional about a story?

Roz

for whatever reason the guy looked a lot less teary on my phone when i looked this morning, he almost looked ANNOYED, sorry it is more obviously choked up on my full screen

Didn’t know about recent Vince McMahon news…but now that I do, let’s go with this one instead

I am more shaken up by Ainsley’s death than I really thought I would be. Now I’m like — idk. Spinning in circles.

@Cobalt Me too, tbh. Foundational. He was a very high passion character so it makes sense that he got into your heartmeats, though.

@Cobalt oof 🥺

MisterBoring

Ah it was a profound character death. Got it.

I feel a bit bad. I see all the emits and how people talk about stuff going on and think it would be fun. However, I don’t feel invested, at all. I am pretty certain it is because most of what is talked about I don’t understand. I don’t really do much for combat characters so I don’t sign up for much cause a lot of the bigger plot stuff has combat focused. I also would rather ‘give up’ a spot I would take to people who are invested and know all the stuff going on. I am not big on huge scenes anymore, can’t handle them like I did when I was younger… I also know if I go to the ‘info dump’ scenes people do, I’ll get overwhelmed and confused.

I /want/ to feel invested, I just don’t for above reasons.

I’ve enjoyed watching all the scenes my friends are in and cheering for them. SOME SAD SACRIFICES. Some major badasses. GOOD LUCK. Arx has had a wild ride and a lot of good stories.

I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.

That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.
That Arx, even with all of it’s trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ‘doing it right’ in our hobby.

Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.
