lengthy plot != player driven as a kid i liked the choose your own adventure books but despiet all the choosing going on the ending was decided for me I think this was largely the doing of Anthinius Oash (I believe the same player who played Shiran?) A bit of an immpet, but a great player overall IMO. my oashi PC got cockblocked by anthinius when the grandfather magickally unlocked the door in the oashi library and psionically compelled me to come down the dark and creepy stairs i always wondered what awaited me down there, he came in with guards and stopped me.  |

Call me a pessimist, but if the Grandfather lured you down into his creepy basement library, I think rape awaited you down there.

I know that Nilazi can bodyswap, can mindbenders? Mebbe Grandfather was planning on jacking your nubile young form to live another few centuries?

Let me start from the beginning of the undead in the rinth. The whole undead/vampire plot was initiated by Bhagharva around 2004. To date this a bit closer (from memory) this plot was a continuation from a plot that began around 2002 period and involved a golden scepter. This was a plot that kept dying due to a lack of player interest/players dying. I'm at least assuming the two plots are connected. I'm sure Ghost can correct me if I'm mistaken. |

Wasn't that the one where the demon was trapped in a stone on the top of the scepter? Or was that one of the "end of times" plots (or was it all part of the same long continuing plot?)? |

I'm not 100% sure. I also haven't read all of the thread so the answer might be in there. I was involved in a plotline of this era that was after the golden sceptre portion and involved undead, Nilazi and the sewers beneath the Labyrinth. It culminated in a nilazi portal killing everyone (including a templar) within the sewers. This was a couple of years (if not longer) before the End of Times plots. I don't know how much of that ties in with Quick and Gins plots. I'll report back once I've read more of the thread  |

Didn't kill everyone though  seriously. People complain about how high school the "plots" are and then complain the second any stakes are involved. |

People complain about how high school the "plots" are and then complain the second any stakes are involved. I'm not sure how those are mutually exclusive. I've regularly complained their plots are absolute shit no one can care about and -- since they have no other way to emotionally involve people -- they kill some random PCs. |

Stakes are good.
Thing is, "PCs are gonna die" is not the only way to raise the stakes, and when it's done on its own, it's one of the most boring ways to do it.

This was a plot that kept dying due to a lack of player interest/players dying. I'm at least assuming the two plots are connected. I'm sure Ghost can correct me if I'm mistaken. I have not checked the boards for a while so I am seeing this just today. But to answer: I am not sure, because I started playing in 2003 and in those years, there were a lot of active plots (though small time) but the PCs had more control or it felt like it. To give an example: A RL friend of mine who started at the same time as me, a complete newbie, joined Byn and just after a day or so, insulted an NPC slave of a PC templar and was summarily enslaved on spot. He was forced to follow her everywhere, cook, arrange her meetings, run small errands when she was not around. He was a slave, but everyone became afraid of him because he was the slave of a TEMPLAR which was a scary thing back in those days. He stayed in her service for about 3 weeks in total before dying to a sewer horror in a sewer mission. Everyday, he was sitting in her home and listen to her conversations with various PCs while he tried to perfect his cooking for her. He told me that she was almost nonstop involved with things, listening to various PCs organizing events and plotting the demise of someone else... Almost nonstop. Getting back to the Nilazi plot in the sewers, I am not sure how it started. I was not in the plot, I was in fact against it once I learned of it. To what I gathered when I played Serpent (year 2004), there were elves going into the sewers and serving this magicker elven-undead woman, who was turning some of those elves into undead (ghouls, I think). After a month of hearing this, Quick started to show signs that he became an undead. So... It is possible that there was a plot started way earlier than this, died because of lack of PC involvement and got back on once PC population in rinth increased. |
