It was a great first attempt, I’d love to play again.

If you’re looking for what to change, I have two pieces. First is length. I’d say cut down the amount of questions per round as well as the time between questions (maybe 4-8 hours instead of 24). Second is encouraging more interaction. Its not much of a roleplay if most people aren’t even in character. Make it feel more like a gameshow rather than a school exam.

I don’t want you to think I’m just cutting you down, I just want to help. If you want assistance making the scenes more descriptive, I’m here if you need. :)

Bye all maybe next time
I'll leave my thoughts for the host though
Maybe do different styles of questions like make us guess what a zoomed in picture is
And we should have had three questions a round as it'd have been easier for everyone that was involved
Also if you struggled with the quicksand scenes you should ask ixelfate for help or anyone who can help you write excellent scenes
Don't get me wrong the premise for this was good it just the execution was off
i'm just an idiot with a box and a screwdriver

24 hours still seems the most reasonable choice. If you really want to speed things up, maybe 12 hours, assuming everyone manages to log in at least twice a day. Anything shorter than that and people will miss their chance to answer some questions entirely and it will also become a lot harder to manage for the host.

Here are some random ideas to spice things up a little:
- Describe the setting (where are we? a studio? a jungle? is there an audience? who is aksing the questions? what is the prize? ...?)
- Encourage interaction among players (as mentioned before). Eg. create a scenario where it makes sense for players to team up, help each other, or maybe also to stab someone in the back :twisted:
- Get quicksand into the picture at an earlier stage (that's what we're all here for after all, isn't it?), like eg. people start sinking after a certain number of wrong answers but they are not immediately removed from the game and can still be saved

Please don't let this feedback keep you from continuing or giving this another shot. I appreciate what you're doing and Alexandra is also looking forward to things to come.

Name: Deva
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Clothes: a brown linen medieval dress. She is a forest elf (although if needed, she could be human). She has long brown flowing hair, and chocolate brown eyes.
Other info:
She has a mud fetish, she has two other dresses, a green dress, and a fur white dress. The green one is more formal, and the white one keeps her warm in snow. This character has 2 years of character development.

I know you don't plan to do another game anytime soon, but this is for the next game that happens.
