      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.

                watching tv

                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.

                    1. That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.

                    2. 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.

                      I’ve had a few weeks to sit with my thoughts, and I must say that I’m actually really grateful that this story had a concrete, definite ending. I’ve never actually seen a story through to the extent that I have with Arx. There are inevitably some loose threads that never got tied off, but not every thread really needs to be.

                      Every other MU* I’ve been on has just sort of fizzled out like a friendship that’s run its course, but I’m really grateful that this ended up feeling story-shaped from beginning to end. It’s not an ‘ending’ for the characters, and I’m left to tantalizing daydreams about what happened after the curtain fell, and that’s a valuable thing to have.

                        And on an unrelated note:

                        I was discussing this with @kalakh - I so wish Arx had the budget of big story projects like Vox Machina or Critical Role, because this setting would make for such a kickass Graphic Novel or Animated Series. Argh!

                              I feel you should do this now.

                                @Apos So what you’re saying is it’s possible. With the right persuasion.

                                    The City Council announces the uncovering of a new Labyrinth at the corner of Crown Way and Visitor Road, beneath the Archive. They would like to remind everyone that books are not allowed in the Labyrinth. People are not allowed in the Labyrinth.

                                    It is possible you will see Hungry Figures in the Labyrinth.

                                    Do not approach them. Do not approach the Labyrinth.

                                    The door is warded and highly dangerous. Try not to look at the Labyrinth, and especially do not look for any period of time at the Hungry Figures. The Labyrinth will not harm you.

                                      I do have writing credits for song lyrics for my brother-in-law’s band.

                                      Those lyrics may or may not have been inspired by events on Arx.

                                        Someone found their way into the Labyrinth because Kalakh accidentally wiped the traverse locks again.

                                        They met the Hungry Figures.

                                        They did not survive.

                                        Everything is fine now.

                                          @Apos if I did this it would turn into

                                          … Alright now that we’ve gone over the extensive history of the Nox’alfar,

                                          ‘let’s take a few calls’

                                          And it would turn into an audio gossip rag, confirm or deny, where did you hear that, no that’s not true, that is absolutely true, please stop asking about mangos or the bathtub incident, I wasn’t staff then, what Skald does in his alone times is his own damn business, nobleman swerve.

                                          Sounds fun though. You should definitely think about it.

                                          ETA: Definitely being facetious if not outright sarcastic. 😅
