Status update:

  • Just as was previously mentioned, I'm now creating a public announcement on the site that will be repeated and updated for roughly a week, at which point this role-play will change from 'Apply' to 'Full'. I'll also be taking steps to contact the last couple of stragglers who were potentially joining us and confirming if they're still in or not -- they'll need to get their registrations up by the deadline anyway, because I've given people well over a month now. During the period that this goes on, we'll be focusing on moving things forward IC.

Looks fine to me, so don't worry. I really liked the moment with the old man.

Status update:

  • Lucia's arrival at the escort point occurred at 10:26 AM, and (with the exception of Guy) she's the first to arrive. Those who go to the escort point from this point onward are doing so after that time, and the next person to arrive will subsequently find Lucia there, so keep this all in mind when posting.

Status update:

  • I've finally had a moment where I could open up an image program and create a unique name display image for Leonard. If you're wondering why a lot of my old posts were edited, it was to edit that in, and for the time being I've also decided to remove his portrait due to the possibly crowdedness caused by me possibly having multiple player characters in the same area. His CS was also updated to reflect this change. Alongside that, the actual logo for the role-play's title itself was edited too, so check it out (this edit was made in my signature too).

In other news, say hello to the first of potentially multiple additional player characters from me. I honestly don't feel the need to hide that this character was originally planned to be one of the NPCs instead, but their plotline could be altered to make them one of the letter receivers with virtually no compromise to their story at all, and since I'm trying to fill up the full guest roster I figured this was for the best, especially since I like the character quite a lot. I'll toss her over into a new post in the character tab sometime soon.

Character's accepted, both publically and privately. Go ahead and put the 'Public CS' into the character tab, using the same hider method everyone else did. Welcome to the thread. It's good to finally have you with us.

Status update:

  • I'll be placing Annabelle over in the character tab soon, but I'm thinking about waiting until the thread changes to 'Full'. We'll see, because there's a few other thoughts going on in my head currently. Also, I should remind you all that the option's still available for you to have second characters, and will remain open until a specific plot point that won't happen before everyone arrives at the estate.

  • I've decided to largely rewrite the rule regarding the murderer system, not because the system has changed but because the more I read it the more I realize that it wasn't properly elaborated on how I wanted to go about it. A lot of the people who planned to get involved knew what I actually had in mind, which is why the rule probably didn't confuse them, but I think it might be/have been misleading for others. Some more details about how the murders will be written and play out was also added, so it's worth reading for long-standing members of the role-play too. I've provided the changes to the rule in the quote below:

At any given time, one of the player characters can be a murderer. While this could've been selected randomly or be determined by whichever character I felt like making the murderer, I'm only thinking of these as a last resort if no one actually offers (privately, of course, so over PM or something) to take on the role. It makes more sense in my eyes that IC development should determine whether or not one of you becomes the murderer. The player who's the murderer will be communicating and collaborating with me over the PM system, and telling me who they want to kill using this method. Though this player will have control over how the murders happen, it'll be written by me in my IC posts and the killer won't appear 'on screen' during these events unless they're discovered by someone apart from the victim. During this collaboration, if the victim is presented with a chance to defend themselves or otherwise react then they will become part of the collaboration but will remain in the dark about who the murderer is, and the posts will be written as such so that the murderer remains mysterious. I expect the murderer to not be petty about things by selecting victims based off OOC disagreements or grudges. Also, keep in mind that being the murderer doesn't protect you from the other things that can kill characters off. It's also possible for the murders to fail or backfire. While the information in this whole opening post should've make it clear that the murder game isn't the main element of the role-play (and the discussion in the interest check made this clearer), I've decided to rewrite this rule to make that it more apparent too. The reasoning behind using this murderer system is that, while solving other mysteries can be the main focus of the plot, it's a lot more psychological and intense if you all know that at any moment one of your characters could be trying to kill the others.

Status update:

  • As stated previously, Lucia arrived at the escort point at 10:26 AM. Guy's the only player character who arrived there before her, but he's basically not within vision of the other characters -- he's sort of not a factor in all this. Within the next few days, I'm hoping to get the incoming collaboration between Leonard and two other characters finished. It's highly unlikely they'll arrive at the escort point at early as certain other characters. To everyone in the role-play who plans to go to the escort point, I'd like you to now specify rough times that you think your character would get to the escort point by. This is in order to allow us to get a posting order worked out and then have you all start making the arrival posts, with those already at the location starting to communicate with each other if appropriate. Those planning to make their way there another way should post their characters doing so as the IC starts catching up to the time they'd start heading there. For all intents and purposes, you should consider the role-play 'moving forward' now. Keep in mind that I'm not asking you to give me the order to post IC, or even telling you to post IC yet -- I want you to give me the estimated times your characters would realistically go to the escort point or otherwise head for the estate, and then I'll tell people the posting order from that.

    Ailyn's already specified Charlotte will arrive about ten minutes before the escort arrives, so that's give or take 4:50 PM. She's the only one who doesn't need to specify a time apart from Aewin and Eidolen.

I'm planning to do a cafe lunch scene then arrive at between 1200 to 1300. I'll have a post up later on. I think I'll need some time to craft it.

@MayLien

Cheers for that.

You're more than welcome to draft it up and have it ready, but avoid posting it until we confirm if someone else might get there before you but after Lucia. This is the sort of thing I mean when I say I want the arrival order to be realistic, because when Lotus arrives she should be able to react to those who've made it thus far. With a space of two and a half hours (roughly) between Lucia and Lotus, there might be someone else.

As we discussed before, my character will head directly to the estate at around lunch time (13:00) by hiring a cab or an escort herself. I already have the post mapped out, I'm still just waiting for time to catch up before I post it.

Cheers for giving an exact time, but yeah, this was mostly for the escort people specifically.

This means Tatiana and Lotus'll post at a similar time.

I was planning to make this post tomorrow, but I figured I might as well do it now. Both of you sort of just dropped communication without completely stating your status (Ellion sort of did, but when I asked for confirmation in this thread there wasn't any, while with Indra/Masaki it's mostly character discussion going slow). Anyway, I'm just letting you both know that the role-play will closing and no longer accepting new applications on February 5, and this is gonna be the final poke I give either of you about it. I just don't want anyone saying I didn't tell people.

You think Itzal should go to the escort point with Paula? I wasn't exactly sure how that was going to work out.

I don't think it makes sense for Paula to use the escort, given how she's potentially gotta make her way there at a different time to the escort, and it's for the guests anyway. Nothing ever indicated that she was using the escort; however, if Itzal decides that he'd like to travel with her instead of take the escort then that's something which would need to be established through IC development.

IC development would determine if it happens or not, but yeah, think about whether Itzal would ask Paula. When the time comes for our next collaboration, you'll find out if Paula would offer on her own. I can say that she'd most likely ask about the escort though, since she was told about it.

As I vaguely stated on Discord, my PC's had another one of its major breakdowns (like, the serious types -- the sort that actually put my main project on its hiatus that resulted in me joining this site to take a break in the first place), which means virtually all my data not related to this role-play (remember, I said I've only been storing data to this role-play over the PM system here, so my PC couldn't ruin this role-play) has either been lost or is in a state that it's unusable until I recover other data that's been lost.

I'll have to up my damage control schedule to pretty much 100% of my time when not asleep, which means you guys won't hear from me at all for a while. I don't know how long, but I'll attempt to keep you guys up to date through Ailyn (ask her if you need to know my status). For obvious reasons, anyone who posts up an application for this role-play while I'm on my hiatus isn't going to be denied acceptance even if we go past the February 5 deadline before I can return (it's unlikely I'll have recovered by then).

All I can really do at this point is hope everyone's still with me by the time I return, because, honestly, the situation is really bad. I can't multitask it with this site as it currently stands.
