[Mkguild] Oren the Otter's Hippoc Arc

[cokane8116 at aol.com]

MK has seen many people come into MK and start a story arc then leave. Some leave gracefully like Oren, others less so - Like Raven.

   If you are interested in Orens stories perhaps you might want to take up the stories and finish it. I'm sure Oren won't mind. So long as you don't overdo things and ask Orens permission. I'd also like some input on where you take the plot.

  I believe that Oren haspermanently left MK.  I don't know of any plans to finish his storyarc.

Well, that’s a pity; I was looking forward to seeing moreexploits from that luckless TGed Hippocci assassin of his, and, plus,wasn’t there a quest some of his characters were going to go on toHippoc with MattRat’s in-‘verse avatar?  


Oren left Metamor Keep over a decade ago.  …



     Like I said in my original e-mail, that much I gathered from earlier discussion.  



…I confess I had neverparticularly cared for the idea of my character going on the trip toHippoc…



     Oh?  Why was that, exactly, if you don’t mind my asking you?  



…, but I tend to be very flexible when other folks want to use mycharacters and Oren was a friend so as long as he was going to bring meback in time for what I had in mind I was happy to let him have somefun.  …



     That was very gracious of you, though I suppose I might do something like it if I ever find myself in a similar situation.  



…Once Oren left there was no reason to continue the story-lineand a collective judgment was made to let it wither.  …



     Oh, OK.  



…The same hashappened with Raven’s story arc which was never finished before the mainauthor left MK.  …



     Aw, I’m still in the middle of that one and really like it so far, too!  Oh, well; …



…In that case we tried to decide what to do and hada few possibilities (all suggested by the original author), but notenough of us really liked any of them so we sort of let the plot fade outand left things as they were.





…



…perhaps we’ll figure out what exactly we should do with it eventually?  


…


This is one of the challenges of a shared setting.  …



     Right.  …



…We do try tocooperate with one another and I think in Metamor Keep we’ve done afantastic job of that especially as we are all pursuing independent plotlines.  …



…It certainly looks that way from here.  …



…But when somebody decides that Metamor Keep no longer holdsany interest for them, it is extremely difficult for the rest of us topick up what they left behind.  …



…I can understand that, I suppose.  It’s still kind of sad, though.  …



…I know that were I to leave therewould be no more stories about the Rats and that’s just fine.  I donot expect people to do my job for them (though from time to time I doask for a little help when it involves their characters).  






…


…Of course.  


…


Okay, that went longer than I intended.  I'm glad you have beenenjoying Metamor Keep and want to see more of it.  …



     You’re welcome!  



…I’m working on ithere and there. :-)





…



     I’ll look forward to whatever else you come up with, then!
