[Dragonbud]

oh man monster, your avatar and sig combo makes the name Monster seem less scary

[Monster]

@Dragonbud, not all monsters have to look scary...

...I couldn't help myself. I mean, it's a dancing panda! And lazy cats...

#noregrets

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure this panda could dance to any song. Besides Mozart. I'm gonna check.

[TWcross]

Dancing to Mozart is something like this haha

Got my guys starting in Sunset Avenue, they've just heard the radio broadcast, and are going to try and make their way to the tower. Dunno if I'll pass you guys on my way - will probably make a detour to get some interaction going.

sounds cool! Maybe she finds the ambulance before your group does.

There's a wood-looking fellah nearby, it might fit. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@41.9011891,-88.0296922,560m/data=!3m1!1e3

Totts, feel free to join, this RP is always open.

Xiledx and TWCross, your profiles have been approved and have been added to the OP.

Fantastic post, SyrianHamster, seriously, great stuff. I thought my post was long! To anyone who might be intimidated by the long posts so far (since we are in the casual section), don't worry about it. First posts are usually long to set the scene but even a paragraph is fine. As long as you focus on your interactivity and speed, you don't need to sweat the post length. You'll notice my posts becoming much shorter as the exchanges between my characters and Wolverbells' will be quid pro quo.

Also, I may have posted that disclaimer right there because even I'm feeling inadequate now!

First of all, many thanks, I actually put a great deal of effort into it.

Don't feel inadequate, my writing aint perfect, and my intro posts are usually quite long fellahs anyway, set's the scene and such.

On the other hand, if I'm enjoying myself, then my posts will be quite long fellows, but here's a tip for you time stretched folks: Anything I do that affects someone else, I usually put in bold. That way you can fast forwards to what's relevant to you. I don't get hurt feelings if my posts aren't read, the reason I RP is because I enjoy writing things, not because I want praise :)

EDIT: Got a bit up my own arse there, sorry! So far I think everyone's done a great job, I haven't read anything yet that's offended me from a reader's viewpoint, and it seems like we have a good group here. I'm very happy I joined!

I also LOVE the scenario system, makes things so much more orderly.

[threedawg]

I tend not to skip over posts unless it's just fluff. Judging by your first post, that won't be the case. However, I just don't want anyone to fall behind. In the past RPs I've participated in, the topics would grind to a halt because some players wrote novels that'd take them an entire day just to make one post, so scenarios would take weeks to complete. As long as we avoid that, I love long posts!

Also, Nevermind, loved your first post too but you need to preface it with a scenario number. If it's a new scenario, you should probably call it #4 as SyrianHamster's taken lucky number 3.

[Dragonbud]

Ive never actually roleplayed using scenarios most of the time its a bundle of other roleplayers doing whatever. I gotta say I love the scenarios idea, it keeps everything organized.

[threedawg]

Thanks, guys, it really allows us to create a much larger and real world. I can't tell you how banal it is when the entire cast of the RP randomly bumps into each other at the same time and the same place! It looks like we have quite a few scenarios going on right now so not only do we get to write, we also get to read kickass posts from other writers. I second SyrianHamster's sentiment, this group is fantastic so far. The quality of the writing has been unequivocally and consistently fantastic. Beyond a doubt, this is the best group I've ever RP'd with. Friendly, talented and without a hint of pretentiousness (which has been a reoccurring theme in many of the other RPs I've been in)! Can't wait to join more scenarios!

Understood. IF it becomes a problem, just give me a shout and I'll dial down the word count. That goes for any of you, I'm a reasonable fellow and will generally cater to the needs of the many, so just yell at me if I'm drowning you in word soup.

Agreed. Love it. Stealing it for future use, sorry Dawg. Shoulda copyrighted it when you had the chance!

Hi my lovely people. So I had a quick question, it's a two parter. Who is a female and who is a guy? I like to know just in case I address anyone I won't accidentally call a girl a guy and what not. Annnnnd what are y'all's thoughts on a skype group chat?

Camellia is a man, Hannah is also a man.

Woodrow and Oskar are women.

Kylie might be both.

As for skype, yeesh, I dunno, sounds kinda... too soon? But then I am old fashioned.

[wolverbells]

Not the characters haha. I meant y'all as the players! I read up on the characters on the OP. Love them all so far. As for the skype, I know it's too soon. I just wanted to know so when this ball gets rolling, communication would be easier. At least I think so.

Ah yeah, looking back on it I can see where I may have jumped the gun.

I am a MANNNNNNNNNNNNLY MAN. You may call me Ash(ley), because yes in England it's still kinda a GUY'S name so stfu. Also no Pokemon references because they got worn out like, ten-fifteen years ago. That's all any of you are getting.

As for skype, maybe, if I can wear a paper bag over my head.
