Fate/Yet Another Grail War RPing Idea

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I know but it works so well!


Anyway, we've got two master sheets in - Milbunk and Nachos. Props to those two, amazing sheets.

[Alice]

YOLF requested over IRC that I remove him from the list due to IRL stuff. It is done.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Alice has a sheet submitted. That's three Masters.

Better get your sheets in folks.

[Milbunk]

So Mike, you gonna go your typical Sakura route or are ya gonna try something different this time around?

[Cherry Lover]

Well, the backstory makes a Sakura route seem somewhat difficult to implement, and also rather unnecessary. Plus, she's in Fuyuki, not the US....

[Milbunk]

I was just curious cause that's usually your main motivation for doing any sort of RP or fic.

[Cherry Lover]

Not really. Whilst saving Sakura is an element of pretty much anything I write, it's not usually the actual motive for it. I generally have some other plot thread or concept that is the main reason for the story.

[Alice]

If Sakura had to be involved somehow all the time, he wouldn't be playing WOD with us. :V But yeah, Mike does focus on not-Sakura occasionally.

And as for Sakura's backstory, not really much I can answer there. That's more Magos's department.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, I am not incapable of writing (or reading) stories that don't focus on Sakura, I just don't like stories where she is implicitly or explicitly left to die at Zouken's hands or similar. Sakura does tend to play a role in my stories, but she's not always the main character.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

OK, some basic rules updates -

>Non-Hassan assassins allowed.
>Berserker and his/her Master will likely be played by the same person,  and I'm considering allowing the same person to play a master/servant pair that isn't this. Or I'll play Berserker. Either way.
>First come first served for Master slots; once those are all gone they are all gone. We've got three people who've submitted Master sheets. Better move fast if you want one

OK, some basic rules updates -
>Non-Hassan assassins allowed.

Well, with this in mind I believe I'll be switching out my previous Servant application with a new one.

[Alice]

Talking to some people, some people are going to lose interest and back out if the classes are randomized (including Elf). Can we remove that part? There's no point in utilizing it if we're going to lose a bunch of players as a result.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, the problem is that it seems utterly pointless to put effort into writing a sheet if we have a 6/7 chance of being told that we were allocated a different class and need to write another one, and being required to write a servant that can fit 3 or 4 classes minimum severely limits which heroes can be chosen (and, mostly, limits us to more OP heroes, since they tend to have more abilities and, thus, more classes). If Magos really wants to do it that way, he should tell us our class before we write the sheet.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Look, I thought it was a good idea for a more realistic grailwar.

But apparently people don't want to do that and whine when everything is still the same. Because it is the same.

Sometimes I just don't know anymore.


Fine, make your perfect Master/Servant combo, I'll figure out classes when I can, alright?

[Milbunk]

What about doing the randomizing first and then letting people create the sheet with the class they are designated?
