I'm going to a picnic today and a fair on Sunday and I can only hope nothing horrible happens to me, as it seems I'm the only one left who hasn't been cursed. D: Hopefully I can stay out from under the doom cloud. (Excellent post by the way, Jig) 

Rikki is from the U.S. and she's correct, Erie can be a bitch sometimes. Still, I'll take lake effect snow over tornadoes and hurricanes any day. :)

As far as I can tell, conversations in rps are the great big problem that no one can seem to solve. It's hard to think of an effective and non-intrusive way to do it. Normally people get stuck with one liners for posts. One idea would be, if it were a conversation between 2 characters, the players could work it out in a pm, write their lines back and forth. Same thing for the larger conversations, only that would be a group pm. The problem with this would be that it would take a lot longer to get through a post as we would have to wait for everyone to get their contribution in. But it would be a more realistic way to write meaningful conversations. I was thinking of testing it out on my next post. 

My other 2 cents, as curious I am about everybody's characters, I think it would be really neat if we found out about each others characters at the same time that our own characters do just to make it more natural. I have a hunch that's why bliss didn't want us to start off with character sheets and laying everything about our characters out in the open. To keep things all mysterious and such.
