Cross Effects 3.0 - The Third Time's the Charm? General Discussion

[Kat]

I talked about that with Bdoom, but what others think about idea of purely OOC SoL thread without H-elements like it's in Velvet?

[Panda]

That...could actually be pretty damn hilarious.

[Kat]

One of reasons why I brought Gintoki.

[Alice]

Since the Velvet Room in 3.0's pretty much become the porn area this time, I could make an alt thread just for OOC shenanigans and label it as such. I'll also label the other Velvet Room as the porn version.

EDIT: And done. Now we have a SFW version. Enjoy!

I must question the need for yet another thread for character interactions. I know the main thread has antagonists, but one of the points is kind of to allow SoL and free interaction between the PCs.

Not to mention, y'know, the Velvet room is also supposed to be for that stuff (character interactions without the restrictions of the ongoing story of Nexus City), and I have no idea why everyone is actually using it as an actual room for a forceful starting point.

I personally think it's unnecessary, bloats the Cross Effects subforum, and is an addition that will only serve to distract people from writing certain situations in the main thread that they would be motivated to otherwise.

[Alice]

I think it's honestly more that porn has taken over the Velvet Room to the point that it distracts from its original purpose, making it so people don't feel as comfortable just doing regular SoL stuff in-between all the porn posts. Normally I wouldn't do something that makes the subforum bloat, but in this case I can understand where they're coming from.

>bloating

It has four threads with RP interaction, so calling that bloated is just a minor complaint at most.

[YOLF]

A drunk that keeps drinking despite being on the verge of passing out is still a drunk. But that doesn't mean they should keep it up until they do fall over.

[Kat]

If you don't like it, then fine, but I will still endorse the separation.

[Alice]

I don't know if it'll be a big issue, to be honest. I mean, since the original Velvet Room has been run over by porn anyway, I don't think it'd take away from it at all. Plus I think people mean they'd use it for goofier interactions than would be allowed in IC. So I don't think it'll be an issue.

I see Neo does not have the best reading comprehension, as I did not imply one of the options in my question excluded the other.

I kid.

He's referencing a meme.

[YOLF]

You mean the meme that might as well be an ordinary part of conversation unless you have context to show the intent to actually refer to it? Heh.

[Ivan The Mouse]

Welp.

[YOLF]

Yes, the meme that might as well be a part of ordinary conversation and unless called special attention to, anyone will hardly recognize. That is in fact it. (*w*)
