Mood

Believe it or not, this is a decent announcement for anybody who is or intends to watch me. Though it looks like a lot of old Sheezy members have left the block, in case anybody decides to come back before I put up the next journal, here is a possibility.

For those of you who frequent my journals, this will be nothing new.

It looks like the MasterPlay forum is relatively down. There's only one active thread and only three active members; myself, Wrath2142, and Brian from a great site, the Escapist, which we both subscribe to. Unless more people want to join MasterPlay and post on our forum, we desperately need KaesoFlare back on the scene, for goodness' sakes, and anybody else who wants in on simple roleplaying forums. I'm fairly sure I've said before that it's not an ultra-insane site, and that the moderators on the page are competent and willing to not be complete asses.

HOWEVER, SINCE THE ODDS DICTATE THAT THE SITE WON'T GET TOO MUCH MORE POPULAR, I HAVE THIS NEW OUTSTANDING QUERY.

I'm contemplating putting up a Gunzone forum. Now, I'll be honest: Wrath and Kaeso can both tell that I'm probably not the most consistent of forum goers, but I do die hard with any forum I put up. Since Gunzone is turn-based, it would be easy to imagine the map (hell, someone might even be able to draw it), and damage could all be calculated by the forum moderator on-site (which will probably always be me). I know that the players would probably be Wrath, Kaeso, Guy, and possibly Law, if he decides to join us for any kind of forum activity. Anybody else who would want to play, however, would also have easy access to the site if they wanted.

Players who didn't show up could be easily role-played and compensated for, granted I have every stat sheet and could update them all on the site when given the opportunities to do so. Weapon shops could be posted and changed, and every idea for any kind of new weapon design or test could be thought up and posted. Sure, matches would move slower and could take days, hell, weeks. But I don't think anybody could doubt that there'd be less restrictions on time or location for the campaign, not to mention it's not an RP heavy scenario. It leaves leeway for RPing, obviously, but it's straightforward and much like the Gunzone game I had invisioned.

Not to mention some of the guys at Cal Poly were wondering whether or not I would run Gunzone. At school, it's a little hard. But online, it could happen. Sure, it'd be slow. But it'd be steady. Shut it.

My only question is, do you think a Gunzone forum is a good idea, or a bad idea?
