But seriously,[/hider]

I'm Stern Algorithm, you can call me Stern or Algorithm. Not my real name (clearly). I was on the old forum with the same name, but a few months of internship followed by a few months of being in a different country meant that I had no idea the guild had undergone so many changes (as well as being away from RP for practically half a year or more). I am now back home and no longer in an internship and on the hunt for my next job. I look forward to reconnecting with some old friends and meeting some new ones.

A few notes about my schedule:

1. I live in America, Pacific Time.
2. I live with family, and I spend time with them during weekends and holidays and will probably have difficulty posting on such days. I realize this is counter to most people's schedules, but that's just how it is.
3. I am back at work with my internship as well so I don't have much time to myself on weekdays in the day, and I spend time with my family at night. I work Monday-Thursday, so my optimal time for posting is Friday in the day when I'm by myself at home and my sibling is out working.
4. This ultimately means that you can maybe expect 1-3 posts per week.
5. That doesn't mean I won't try my best to accommodate other people, but I'm terrible at speed-posting and at keeping up with those who do, and will fall by the wayside and probably drop out if that happens.
6. I hope this doesn't come off as selfish, but I like when people wait for me or give me a gentle nudge. I will try to communicate as much as possible.

[b][u]If I am GMing, then you have been redirected here for instructions on how to reserve your position in my RP. These are my conditions[/u][/b]
1. Your personal schedule is not in direct conflict with mine or that you at least understand my schedule (see above).
2. I would prefer you to post at least 3-4 times per week and not hold up the RP.
3. I would prefer you to not back-and-forth speed post with one other person and leave other RPers behind.
4. In short, I request moderation, though I understand that as GM, it's my responsibility to keep things engaging and to set the pace.
5. Please don't drop out for days without a word. If you need to be away for a bit, or are leaving permanently, please let the RP know and if necessary, put your character in a position to accommodate the change, or relinquish control of the character.
6. I have no standards for post length. One-liners are annoying, but are sometimes a necessary evil just to push things forward or to have conversations instead of monologues. I much prefer good grammar and spelling. Honestly, if it's not a confusing jumble where I don't know who is doing what, then I should be able to tolerate it.
7. Finally, the part you've all been waiting for, to reserve a spot in my RP, let me know that you are reserving a spot, say whatever else you want to say, and then include: a power of two that is three digits or higher, ie., 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. My favorite is 65536.

If that hasn't scared you away, here is a list of my interests for anyone who's curious, I'll also link to this post if anyone asks me for an introduction.

Superheroes, superpowers, villains.
Sci-Fi/Espers
Fantasy/magic
Super Sentai
Magical Girls
Mecha
Harvest Moon/Rune Factory
Megaman (I love Megaman! Especially the X-series, and the DASH/Legends series)

However, I am a bit wary of fandom RP's simply because I have a difficult time holding onto extensive lore and tons of characters, especially for loooong-running series, so my preference is obviously non-fandom RP's, even though I realize a lot of my interests can easily be assigned to the various fandoms that exist out there.

I prefer casual RP since I sometimes have difficulty squeezing out 10 paragraphs per post and as mentioned above, have difficulty keeping up with speed posts.

I have tried GMing a game once, but that sort of crashed and burned. Before I try that again, I would like to co-GM first.

Other than that, I really have no aversions to anything, I'm an adult and can handle my gore and sex and other R-rated stuff. I've been to some of the weirder places on the internet, but if you want to RP a kink, ask first and I'll think about it.

Also, I'm male and tend to RP males, though I can RP maybe one or two female archetype characters at best.

If I left anything out, I'm open to suggestions to improve this post, but other than that, I'm glad to be back.
