It already does. Vissiand is an idiot. XD
We suggested that idea at school, too. I think that's really the only way to stop people having to edit and re-edit posts every single time. And people RPing demons is a mucho fantastic brilliant idea.

As for the battle thread - we could have separate threads for each sub-battle. Each person or each group of people can take on x number of demons in a single thread. When they're wounded, they can drop out and post a link to the healers' thread. How's that? I'm also for the idea of having people actually RP the demons, since that would help prevent any of that "HAY I CAN KILL SIXTY DEMONS AT ONCE LOL I SO POWERFUL" sort of thing. Because that would annoy the living crap out of me. And everyone else. Yessity yessity yes. Some of us (i.e. me and Karia, who have +5 time and -80 life) wrote out our most epic battle posts beforehand, but they would be towards the end of the battle. But yeah, we could make a dummy account for the demons that all admins/people we approve to play demons could use. Whaddaya think, guys?

I quite like the dummy account idea! It would be very useful for this demon plot and for future plot, but how shall we go about starting this "demon" plot?
Oh and I'm clearing through the professor list tomorrow so all active professors should send me a PM asap. When I meant active, I meant someone who can be around to start their lessons, and actually rp in them, ensuring a lesson is taught and class ended.
Also, I've gone through and clean up the Newspaper crew therefore if you want to be a part of it, please sign-up now.

The demon plot is already well under way. It started out as Vissiand's subplot, but in the end, he managed to drag the entire school into it. (Something about really pissing off a powerful demon. A powerful demon with an army.) And now everyone's about to start fighting for our lives against a demon horde. (There's an active thread at the beach right now - it's the day before the battle, and last-minute preparations are under way.)
...At least, that's what I understand of that particular plot. XP
But yes, Valcentica's been less active because of that thing called school. Several people here take at least one AP class... ugh...

Okay, I know I'm, like, never on, and I've posted about once, but every single one of my classes is IB or AP, except for two of my three contract courses. So I think I have you all beat on that point. Haha. *dies*
Anyway, I think the plot should be something more... Insidious. I'm not sure what. The whole battle thing is great, but it's really difficult to coordinate and you can only keep it going for so long. But if it was some sort of diffuse, growing threat it could be woven in to everyone's threads, last much longer, and create a much more complex plot. There could be some sort of grand culminating defeat of *whatever* after a while, but it wouldn't have to be immediate, like it would in a demon attack or something. Sorry I don't have a more specific idea, but I am Queen EpicFAIL of plot-making, so nyeh.
Also, on a somewhat unrelated note but having generally to do with revamping: can the new skin be less.... Bandwidth-whoring? 'Kay, my computer is a senior citizen here, and all the big huge images and fancy stars falling off the cursor and stuff is just not possible to load in any reasonable span of time. Also, the thin forum with big huge picture sidebar-things is kinda getting to me too. It's pretty and all, but to tell the truth, I'd rather scroll less frequently than see some random artsy background and wait for the page to load and spaz out until it decides to find the right width for everything. Sorry if this seems kind of anal, but it's actually a major factor in my not posting here much, because it just takes so long to surf around. Could we maybe have a skin or a revamp of the layout or whatever that has reduced image sizes, smaller image sidebarthings, and no starry cursor?

I have three AP classes. The rest are honors courses. So. XP ...Actually, Irina-mun has us all beat, because all of her classes are AP, to my knowledge. It's amazing. As for the plottage... if the plots get too complex, most people won't be able to follow it all. It's just about up to the point of the battle, anyway. I don't know what other things came before - I wasn't really involved in creating that particular plot - but there's nothing we can really do about it now. Just try and organize the chaos as best as we can. *points at my above posts* As for the skins, that's for Janet to deal with. XP

OMG! Dyth! I thought you were self-banned from the internet. I'll see if Janet or I can make a simple skin for you with no images. It's a good idea anyway. Complex plot? Ask me after NaNo. xP

Uhg. Close enough. >_> School=pain. (On that note, IB is pretty much AP, except with CAS hours and the extended essay. And I do have three contract classes and extracurriculars. So I think I still win the academic masochism contest. AHAHA. Ha. Ha.)
Anyway, it wouldn't necessarily have to be complex, just more subtle. You know, the insidious evil sort of deal. Mystery and drama. Ooo. _I_ think it would be cool.
Also, it doesn't have to be NO images- just fewer and much smaller. And no starry cursor.

Maybe we should do some Chamber-of-Secrets sort of thing plot. We could use that to flush out the history of the school, and we could combine the evil professor with it (IE: Have the professor place someone under the imperious curse and have them unleash a monster). Maybe some sort of death bringing Pheonix for the moster (Of course we don't kill anyone, just a few petrifications/injuries, and a huge mystery).

Yeah, that would be really cool. A sneaky monster or a curse being released and everyone having to deal with it without really knowing exactly what's going on.
And that reminds me: I know we can't wantonly kill off other people's characters, but are we allowed to make generic stock characters (like NPCs, I guess) to kill off every now and then to make things interesting? Like with the Chamber of Secrets sort of plot, have one or two "and they found Bob dead in the hallway"s? xD

We should TOTALLY do the COS thing and the monster should be a giant rabbit! Jk....but not really.
And we need more people for the ball if it is to continue! So we must berate eachother and post in it...and also, we REALLY need to begin the actual beach battle, because I am getting cranky. Lolz.

All in favor of reviving the Winter Ball subplot, say aye.
For what it's worth, "Aye".
