Reviving Eizon

[Timekeeper]

I have no idea what this will entail for me, but it sounds interesting.
Therefore I am indeed interested.

[Jiro]

We attempted something like this at school once, so I'm sure he's got enough experience to be useful.

[Shauna]

I believe I wanted to get involved with this before, but then never had the time. So, yeah, I am interested here.

[oddler]

Alright, sweet. Both of you are on the list, then.

I highly encourage everyone who enjoys writing, roleplaying, art, even music to take part in this. And a quick note, even if you don't sign up to participate now, you can still feel free to join in at a later time if you want. I think as soon as I get with the staff and have a little subforum made, we can get the ball rolling on this.

I like the idea of building a nation.
I'm in.

Again, being busy isn't really an excuse you can use on this. It'll be open-ended and won't have time restrictions so you can add and put in your two cents when you have the chance. If you're on EoFF, then take about 3 minutes and peek into the Eizon section and see if your creative muscle starts twitching. If it does, then use it!

Well I meant busy as in sometimes I have no internet access for days or even weeks at a time due to unicorn stuff.

But yeah I'd be willing to pitch in, I actually have some experience with this sort of thing (well not on forums though)

D&Der huh.

[Peegee]

Is pokemon RPing in or out? I can adapt it so that my pikachu is like my power animal companion? Yes?

Never played it actually

[Ouch!]

Void, Chaos is the Key, and I had made the decision to end Eizon and restructure it because the way Void had it organized was somewhat difficult to manage for not only those participating, but also those moderating.

Unfortunately, efforts to reformat fell to the wayside for a number of reasons (not sure what they were for Void--I believe he was designing a table-top game based on anime--or Chaos, but I know I rejoined FFXI and that sucked up all the time I was spending in Eizon).

A return of the von Ouches would be interesting, but I don't think I can be anywhere near as active this time around as I was the last. Whether or not I participate really depends on what direction you choose to take it. Open-ended development is great, but it's also ultimately what was the demise of Eizon. However, putting that kind of power in the hands of the players instead of making it the responsibility of whoever is running the event is significantly more difficult.

Omg that was like what, 2 yrs ago xD I forgot about our awesome dance off!

Pokemon, in particular... not so much? I'd rather you create an original pet to accompany you. But yeah, the whole basis around the world will most likely be a melting pot of Final Fantasy themes so the job Beastmaster would fit you perfectly!

The difficulty in management came from, in my opinion, the significant breakdowns of how everything worked, i.e. formulas and calculations. With so much mathematical logic behind everything, I agree that it is difficult for almost anyone to keep up and stay interested. (That was one of my favorite parts, though. )

What I mean by open-ended development is that members can submit their ideas into the world. In the end, not every single detail will fall into place because things will contradict each other eventually as more ideas are submitted. That's what I'll be there for; to "referee" and make sure things fit without totally overpowering someone or someplace, some creature, or anything else. I think it'll be a lot easier than keeping track of everyone's minute management details (which I'll still be doing partially anyway).

Short version, definitely pop in sometime if you have ideas you want to share, Ouch!.

I made a few crappy maps in MS Paint if anyone could use them

[Agent Proto]

So, when are we starting this?

[oddler]

I tried to get the staff to make a subforum for Eizon and shiz but it hasn't happened yet. You can come up with ideas any time but let's wait until we get a place to put them before we start submitting. I'll have to redouble my efforts and go for the throat.
