This role-play was finished on

    This is an odd RP for me... On the one hand, it's typical fantasy fare with an overabundance of characters, and a less-than-epic plot. On the other hand, it really came out exactly how I wanted in the end, though how THAT end came about wasn't how I wanted to do it... Am I still making sense?
    I really pushed this RP to completion, and in retrospect, I have to wonder if that was such a great idea. Yeah, it's done and woo, I enjoyed it, but somehow, I doubt my fellow role-players got a whole lot of enjoyment out of it. I constantly had to push and whine and moan about the lack of posts, and the desire to get it done for a school project really kept me going, but everyone else? Yeah, they couldn't give a damn about my project. Which, in the end, the RP being done before then wasn't necessary.
    Now, I really enjoyed the characters, and to that end everyone made unique, likable characters from a variety of races and backgrounds. Every character, while not essential, added to the plot in their own way, and the relationships that built up as it progressed was probably what was most fun about it.
    I wish more people wrote epilogues, but I suppose once I declared the RP done they justifiably ran for the hills. Oh well. All in all, I had fun, but I doubt I'll do another RP like this one anytime soon.

    Thalzon started History of Venishe, and was thus the first person to join it. He wrote 52.27% of the story, doing so in fifty-eight posts. He now goes by the username Corey.

    No, it wasn't the first RP of Thalzon's that was successful (of course, his first successful RP has to be the one that I don't join), but I'm glad that I joined into the story, as it did turn out very enjoyable. During this period I actually smartened up as well, teaching myself to keep up with the RP stories I joined. Only thing I'm disappointed with is because of the VGRP --> RP Haven move, just when the RP had ended, I never got any chance to write a fitting epilogue to my characters. Pity. The story felt a tad done-before of course (there's rarely any original ideas left at all in this world), but it worked, and it worked well.

    Horn was the fifth person to join the RP. He wrote 15.48% of the story, doing so in twenty-seven posts.

    Well, I have to say this RP was a very good one for me as an role-player. It was fast paced, fun, good music, good writing overall. I put a lot of soul into it and even wrote a few songs for it, namely my characters. Conrad and Sheila were really their own side story for me to kind of just go off on. I ended up creating a pair of characters that went together well, and though I didn't plan on it when I first started, they were lovers. This RP has to be the best at the end. Which is good a strong ending is good for a story. Also the Tournament Episode was quite awesome. Good concept Thalzon.

    Cyril was the second person to join History of Venishe. He wrote 10.45% of the story, doing so in twenty-six posts.

    Firstly, let me say that I enjoyed this RP greatly. Of course, there are few RPs I haven't enjoyed, but nevertheless, be it the fact that it was rather non-complex (plain old fantasy, no rules to speak of, etcetera), the story (not the greatest, but wicked nonetheless) or just the evil genetic experiments near the end, I liked it. Oh, and I like Vlad.

    Maniacal Gruntling was the sixth person to join the RP. He wrote 7.99% of the story, doing so in twenty posts. He now goes by the shortened name of MG.

    Venishe was great. I had a lot of fun with it, even though I joined about halfway through. The characters were very dynamic, my favorite being Chyaltze. He was cool, calm, and owned his enemies with an arsenal of toothpicks. That says it all. My favorite moments came from the Harvest Festival Tournament. The matches were intense (and the fact that my character emerged victorious may have something to do with it). The ending was "interesting," but overall Venishe went very nicely.

    Ace was the seventh, and last, person to join History of Venishe. He wrote 5.94% of the story, doing so in fourteen posts.

    In History of Venishe, I found a rare opportunity to participate in a pure fantasy RP. You just don't see those much anymore, or at least not many that succeed. I think Venishe went along pretty well, but the majority of the last few chapters seemed pretty contrived and unnecessary. Well, not contrived, just hard to follow. I fell out at the end because really I felt that whatever was going to happen was going to happen, and there was nothing I could do to change that.  

    Multiball was the third person to join the RP. He wrote 5.51% of the story, doing so in eighteen posts.
