[OOC] The Dust: Begin Again

@Pepperm1nts

That's mainly because we're still working on updating all the information. Don't worry, in due time. Meanwhile, feel free to ask questions.

[RedDusk]

I see that some towns and cities on the map still lack description. We are allow to create towns and cities, right?

[TheMadAsshatter]

So, is there going to be a section that's meant to explain what's been happening over the last year or what?

[Beach Burrito]

Can anyone play multiple characters?

[Darcs]

@Pepperm1nts Yeah, like Mono said, that was my b. fix'd now.

@Beach Burrito It's totes encouraged.

@RedDusk Also totes encouraged.

@TheMadAsshatter For the moment, nah.

In a broad sense, we kinda already have that-- Motum Diversum lost their capital, their power, and all their alliances and left a huge vacuum of power that Wintergold, the Hedons, and the Forsaken rose/expanded to fill. There are boats that let you go to a few more islands, and full on be a desert survivalist if you don't want to deal with all the political bullshit. Anti-immortal sentiment has risen 200%. Lucania is trying to create a gold standard for currency. Aqueous is becoming unstable, and separated their outer regions from their inner regions. Edenites appear in Wolfwater after the completion of an underwater tunnel. Forsaken expanding east. More hollows than ever.

Then there's all their stuff our characters were doing, I don't know if you want to have a collab a timeline with everyone, or leave it to kinda be a thing everyone discovers about you as you go go on...?

[TheMadAsshatter]

I'd prefer to collab a timeline. I don't want any of us who were involved in the RP prior to end up getting anything confused, and it would probably help the newbros too.

[Dirge]

So I've got a bit of a paradox on my... uhh... hands... as it were. So I've got the day off today (never happens), but it's because my hands are covered in terrible poison ivy and hurt very much to move. Sick pun complete. I'll do my best to do some crippled two fingered typing today though.

[Darcs]

@Dirge There's no rush! I know you must be in horrible pain and I'm sorry that happened to you but is it okay if I laugh?

[Jinxer]

@Darcs

I commend the bravery of this minor sadism!

[Antediluvixen]

@Jinxer

Wouldn't that be more schadenfreude?

[Jinxer]

@Monochromatic Rainbow

It's sort of both - schadenfreude is merely taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. While feeling pain is often the result of misfortune it could also be said to be sadistic.

P.S. I have only recently discovered the meaning of schadenfreude relatively recently due to QI. God Bless Stephen Fry.

[Antediluvixen]

@Jinxer

sa·dism
ˈsāˌdizəm/Submit
noun
the tendency to derive pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others.
(in general use) deliberate cruelty.

scha·den·freu·de
ˈSHädənˌfroidə/Submit
noun
pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

I'd say it's just schadenfreude. She's not actually inflicting the pain she's laughing at, so it's not sadism.

Also

@Jinxer

?

[MelonHead]

It was on QI, Jo Brand actually knew what it meant because she speaks ze Germans.

[Jinxer]

@Monochromatic Rainbow

This is true.

QI(Quite interesting)

It's a panel show with professionals and comedians talking about often misunderstood or little known facts - Stephen Fry is the host.

On topic: I plan to have a CS up by tomorrow night.

[Antediluvixen]

@Jinxer

Das gut (if we're using German now), I look forward to seeing it.

[TheMadAsshatter]

Das gut Das ist gut.

@Monochromatic Rainbow

FTFY. :P

[TheMadAsshatter]

Accidental double post. Please ignore.

@TheMadAsshatter

Я не говорю по-Немецкий.

[TheMadAsshatter]

Lol, fair enough.

[Lightning Fast]

... Et je ne comprends pas russe. On est quitte.

EDIT: Aussi, bonjour newbies!
