plot: jurassic park

(no subject)

Welcome home, everyone! You're back in Cair Paradisa! IN THE DUCK POND, SOAKING WET. AND IT'S STILL THUNDERSTORMING. IN YOUR TACKY TOURIST CLOTHES.

PLOT OVER.

Thank you so so so much for making this plot so fun; participation was awesome. I'll edit in rough numbers soon, for the lulz.

Any thoughts? How did you guys feel about having a lot more mass posts, instead of the usual anything-goes set-up? Concerns? Constructive criticism? General dinosaur love?

Again, much love goes to Mimi, for bringing forward the Jurassic Park suggestion in the first place, and for letting me take it. It was fun.

Good plot! Much fun! I could have dealt with another day or two easily, though.

On which end? Fighting, or exploring, or evenly placed? :)

Hm. Slight preference to exploring over fighting, though both is also good.

I already gave you my feedback, so we're set.

;D Awright.

Lol Rex.

Super! Good to know :D

Marine buddy? pffft.

THIS is where the name comes from.

Mass Posts = GREAT CR opportunities! I loved them! Though yesterday and today it just felt like, BAM BAM BAM with the time spacing between each. A little "stay on the ball" time wise, but still, if you got the time on your hands, great, fun ideas.

SURPRISE!DINOSAUR tags were probably what kept the mass posts from going stale, and it kept all the characters on their feet. Plus, they were all were either extra lulzy, or extra HOLY SHIT. They were fun!

The best part, for me, had to be the Drive/T-Rex posts. Aside from the awesome group my character was thrown into, it was nice to be able to "interact" with the T-Rex.

I forgot I edited this initially to say again. xD

I think the amount of mass-posts there were was a little crazy for the short four-day time frame (I missed a bunch of them and it felt a bit hurried) and I don't really like shuffling through all the hundreds of comments on each post to see what I can reply to.

But on the flip-side, it's a good way to make sure things get done in the plot instead of everyone going "...uh what now? D:" and it's still a good alternative way to get CR since characters will feel inclined to communicate just because they're in the same room.

So I'm really just talking circles. X'D I guess I liked the posts, but would have liked them a little more spread out, perhaps? They would have worked fine if the plot had gone on for a couple more days, I think.

Also, cheers to the fun plot in general. ♥ I'm sad I got distracted and busy for a lot of it! THE LULZ WERE GRAND, THE DINOS WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER.

The plot was tons of fun. Thank you for it, to you guys! I thought the mass posts were a good idea for this; it made it easier to try to join in wherever and keep track/not miss any posts.

^ This. You explained it better than I did. Derp!

What she said! Awesome, epic, lulzy, had a blast, but I felt like I lagged behind some due to being at work and missing the during-the-day stuff, and never getting to post in the MUST GO FASTER part of the docks post because I was waiting on tags.

But overall, A+!

Perhaps ironically, I was about to comment to your comment asking if you were psychic. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. BD

Dude, we even posted it AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT. (BUT YES, THEY DO. :B)

Yeah, I really loved the mass posts because they made things way more chaotic and easier to get random CR - but I guess pace a bit more with them so people who are busy with school and work have a chance to jump in too? Sometimes it felt like if you were a few hours late, you were SOL in regards to doing stuff with the dinosaurs (which were the main part of the fun of the posts).

But besides that, it was an awesome plot. I LOVED THE DINOSAURS. ♥

Dude, that icon. 8|

I'm very glad those worked ♥ Thank you for the feedback!

~~REX ;;~~

My childhood. ♥

It was an amazing amount of fun and left a lot of opportunity for loads of CR, which is always a blast. Thanks, Mimi! And thanks to you guys for making it happen.

Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with spreading them out; I initially hadn't planned so many, but things were getting convoluted on some of them. The Park Drive, for example; I felt it would be RIDICULOUS to try and do the build up (giving characters time to interact and fool around and talk and stuff), the attack, and then the aftermath all in one post, not to mention it would be a nightmare to try to reread later.

When I suggested to the mod squad that we make it shorter and tighter (3-4 days ) because people seemed to get bored with 7 days.... activity would just dwindle towards the end, or people would itch for normal Paradisa. I wanted to test out a more directed plot, and I thought that needed to be shorter, because if it bombed, it'd drag and drag. Though, in hindsight, with all that action, another day might have eased it up a bit, and lessen the need for backtagging.

Does that make sense?

Either way, I'm glad you had fun, and thanks again for the feedback! :D

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you had fun! :D

Thanks for the feedback! Note taken about the timing –– next time, would asking the community about when the best hours to do things and taking that into account work?

I'm glad you had fun!

(Sorry about the stress, Reno ;) )

Glad you had fun! <3

Yeah, that does make sense. If my browser kept freezing with the posts as they were, I'd hate to see one containing all three of those events. D:

And it's totally not an exact science or anything. Some lengths work better for different plots, I guess. It's hard to gauge! At least with the way this one rolled, there was stuff to do and I don't think anyone was bored. 8)

Remember that time... you saved me from a rampaging dino?

Damn, we should name out kid to commemorate that.

Absolutely loved it. :)

Question! Do objects of power/weapons come back in the lake, or will they find them in their rooms or something?
