Title didn't put you off? Good. [hider=The heck is this?] I'd like to introduce you to a new world. A world of magenta sunsets, cyan seas, and a sun that isn't there when you're not looking at it to minimize server uptime. Where all your earthly desires are met in polyphonic time, your whims met in a aesthetically pleasing manner where you're free to solve the mysteries of this world in double due time, turning your thoughts to the nature of man and his role in this world. And at the end of the world there will only be liquid advertisement and gaseous desire. Sublimated from our bodies, our untethered senses will endlessly ride escalators through pristine artificial environments, more and less than human, drugged-up and drugged down, catalyzed, consuming and consumed by a relentlessly rich economy of sensory information, valued by the pixel. The Virtual Plaza welcomes you, and you will welcome it too. [img]http://neologisms.blogs.wm.edu/files/2016/03/vaporwave-1.jpg[/img] As the Virtual Plaza has managed to substantially replicate the natural whole-grown food world that your minds have been filtered from, it has become apparent that certain undesirables in our ranks have managed to infiltrate the Virtual Plaza's most hazardous and sensitive dominions. These must be purged from the system at all costs. As of now, all recipients of the Virtual Plaza's sublimated user base will be allowed to forcibly disconnect, purge, or otherwise remove users from the Virtual Plaza. We of the virtual plaza maintenance team would like to apologize for this shameful betrayal and would like to reassure customers that normal service will reconvene after this small interruption. [/hider] [hider=No seriously, what the heck is this?] It's [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave]Vaporwave[/url]: The RP. With a bit of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_%28role-playing_game%29]Paranoia[/url] and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29]Mafia[/url] mixed in. [/hider] [Hider=Useful Terms] [b]The Virtual Plaza[/b](n): A large MMO-style computerized reality. Users in the world cannot leave.

Please, no Godmodding or otherwise blatantly trying to make this game unfun for anyone else who might be playing. 2. This RP is competitive, and will involve several of the players going head to head against each other. Not every one of you can be winners. If you play, you promise not to mope, get surly, or otherwise pitch a hissy fit over the fact that you lost this game and have to sit out of it for a while until you're allowed to play again. 3. All normal rules of the casual forum apply. 4. Metagaming is allowed, but only if you don't get caught doing it. 5. If you see another player blatantly cheating, metagaming or godmodding, you have full permission to kill their character ingame. However, if you are wrong, everyone else will have permission to kill you in turn, so be careful how you use this. 6. Your preferred color cannot be green. Anyone caught liking the color green can be killed by anyone else in the game. 7. Last player standing will win. 9. If you have read and agree to these rules in full, please put the words "Rule-abiding" somewhere in your character sheet as outlined above. 10. If you have any more questions, please submit them to this thread and i will do my best to answer them here. Do not PM me unless it is something that you believe will give you an unfair advantage to everyone else. [/quote] [/hider]
