A Table for Two or Three

[ALonelyParrot]

I've been kinda lonely lately. If it would interest anyone, I would love to do a world building RP with someone. In essence, we're writers at a coffee table jotting down ideas for a world, eating snacks and ordering drinks from the friendly barista. Here's the twist. The table allows us to see the world being formed in real time (in canon). The table, however, only accepts a maximum of 200 words, 500 if the barista is given a generous tip (usable once every five of your posts). However, that does not mean the posts are limited to 200/500 words, just that the world building is limited to that. You may come as yourself (which I will be doing) or come as a completely different persona. I'm planning to do regular meeting times on Friday/Saturday. The medium used for typing will be google docs (which is conveniently installed on the table). I'll be pming the link. The ol' guild won't be used since this RP is more of a "speed writing" thing.

Hmmmm.....maybe

Def int though

[ALonelyParrot]

@AXIS Got busy over the previous week. You up for it?

[AXIS]

@ALonelyParrot interested but the concept is confusing

[ALonelyParrot]

@AXIS It's like those games where you piece a sentence together, but instead of single words, you create sentences of exposition to flesh out a world (but take turns). More or less, this is more of a writing exercise in communication, empathy, and collaboration. This probably will be done through google docs. Due to the nature of this "exercise", I can imagine that one person will have some downtime while the other is writing down their ideas for the world. On more thing, whenever we want, we can start from a blank slate.

Sounds prety cool i like it

@ALonelyParrot

[ALonelyParrot]

@AXIS Okay. :)
Friday or Saturday? I'll be be running on Texas time and will only be available during the evening.

[AXIS]

@ALonelyParrot same time zone yo. And I can do either or but won't be able to post often because consistently busy so might or might not work out

[BiffleChump]

A most intriguing concept. I'll participate.

[ALonelyParrot]

@BiffleChump@AXIS
I'll send you both a google doc sometime later. Just a warning, though, things might get a little weirder, more hectic, and fun with 3 people now. Glad to have you all on board. :)

@AXIS
Don't sweat it. This table is meant to be scheduled unlike the many post by post rpg's. Also, since we have more than two now, we can do individual sessions with different people combinations (or have all three at the same time.

[ALonelyParrot]

Oh, also, we might want to schedule a time soon when you guys are up for it.

[BiffleChump]

Hm, this could be tricky for me to find the right hour of the day, since I'm about seven hours ahead of Texas time. Is there a way to handle this without it being detrimental to you? I'd still very much like to participate.

[ALonelyParrot]

@BiffleChump
Probably weekends only. That's when my time is most flexible.

[BiffleChump]

Ah, @ALonelyParrot, the best times I can think are about 10:00 to perhaps 12:00 or so during Saturday and/or Sunday evenings (that would be 3:00 - 5.00 in the afternoon for someone living in Texas). That okay for you?

[ALonelyParrot]

Oof, probably not this week. Oh, also, I actually live in the west coast. I'm just here in Texas for an event

[BiffleChump]

Okay, got it. Looking forward for the world-building fun. Nothing makes me feel more alive.

[ALonelyParrot]

Okee, I'll be available this Saturday anytime. For your schedule @BiffleChump, I presume the earlier the better since you'll need your sleep. I can probably do 12:00 PM (west coast time), give or take 2 hours. Are you up for a session this Saturday, @AXIS? If those times are out of place in your schedule, I can arrange a seperate session later that day.

[BiffleChump]

Sounds fine by me, @ALonelyParrot. From what I can tell, there is a nine-hour difference between where we live, and by that time in the evening, I'll be home and still quite energetic and vigorous. Looking forward to glorious worldbuilding. I hope you'll have the time to join us, @AXIS.

[ALonelyParrot]

@BiffleChump Okay. 9 PM in your time on May 4th (saturday) should be fine, right? (It'll be 12 PM where I live if I did the math correctly).
