Christmas Play
 

Per Elly;


Hey Graal! I'd just like to say that on the 21st there will be a cute Graalmas play for you all to see!
It is on the 21st, 6:30 pm Pacific time, 9:30 eastern.
Hope you all can come and see it :).

It is at the Murder Mystery Theater. We hope you all will attend and see it :).

Npcs npcs npcs please tell me your using god damn npcs this time so the play doesn't suck.

Higbey, you can't even watch it live, can you? And no, I know that they are not NPCs without even being in it. Calm your tentacles.

Well sorry guys, looks like this ones gonna be **** too, and will only have a few viewings and if you lag out you'll be unable to watch it again.

All because its supposed to " involve players more"

Npcs doing it would be better in everyway, I don't see why people think having players doing it would be better. Look at the disaster that happened last time.

I beg you, Azrael, Twinny, Elly,

Use npcs, you'll see how better it would be, everyone would be able I see it if it played back to back, it wouldn't suck, wouldn't take as long, and wouldn't have various cast members going improv or swearing.

Protip: Disguise NPCs as players :)

Nah it's going to be players. Players wanted to do one so they're going for it with Elly providing what's necessary. NPC's are so boring and I can't script them, so they won't happen. Elly's taken a lot of what happened last play and is moving towards a better play this time. From what I've seen, it looks like it's going to be a LOT better.

So Elly is going to make it so they can type everything extremely fast with no typos and have them repeat the play back to back for several days?

I'm sure that Twinny or whoever made the npcs in nexus could script it, then it would be easy to change it around for the next play, it would look like real players were doing it except without the flaws.

Nah. Real actors screw up occasionally as well. It'll be fine. I believe Elly has prepared and covered the back to back for a couple days thing.

Twinny is busy currently and unable to do anything like this. I think watching players do it is funny, even when they mess up.

Last time a lot of people lagged out and couldn't watch, has that been fixed?

To Elly;
Why again at such a time zone? Like german players won´t be able to view it, and it´s not even on weekend. Any way that it will get replayed at some time?

In my opinion, Higbey does have some sort of a point to it.

The last play was sort of a disaster due to the lag and crowding issues.. It pretty much stopped most players watching it..

If it happens again in the christmas play, you're gonna make Higbey Sound right

How callimuc is it saying the times for the ass
And i'm working when the show is playing so have fun :(
i'm sure it will be again as in the last show only 50-70 can enter to watch it...
Just record it like a movie and play it evry 1h and get some cash for it like a Cinema...

Brings the community together to perform a simple play for the enjoyment of the players.

I don't see how the play is going to make players more involved. Makes it more like the actors are somehow better than normal players. Then the actors blame the staff for the problems with the system or say they didn't have enough time.

Its probably to late to create screens around graal city that could stream what is going on live at murder mystery theater. Nevertheless, I think it would be a good way to decrease lag and increase the amount of people that actually get to see the show, IMO. Just something to think about.
