Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

I go to sleep and miss two pages of banter. Daaaamn.
It was okay, nothing fantastic. It's easier to swallow if you pretend it isn't meant to be some spiritual prequel to the Alien series. I think a big part of it's suckage is it doesn't really keep with the technology and feel of the Alien movies. Hard to believe something's like hundreds of years (or whatever it is) before Alien when the technology is way the hell more advanced than anything you see in the Alien trilogy (plus, Resurrection, I guess).

It's part of the reason I'm actually pretty excited for that Alien: Isolation game. One of the design philosophies they have for that game is that everything in the environment needs to be faithful to the first movie and should look like it could have been a prop made back in the 1970s for the first movie, so the 70s vision of the future.
Voice of the Sky I wanted to keep going, but we hit a point where we lost too many of the original players and it was just becoming a big, disorganized mess where I was dealing with some players I shouldn't have accepted and it was becoming akin to pulling teeth to get the plot moving. GMing is much, MUCH easier if everyone posts once in a while. :P

Oh, thank you for pointing that out Mauve. Looking back over it, I just took that last little part out. I don't remember how I was going to finish that sentence and it seemed complete without it. But I guess that sort of thing happens when you are partially blind, eh? Thanks again for pointing it out.Thank you so much Dervish! (Sorry if I got your name wrong.) i'm glad to know that somebody likes my character and my post. Gives one a good feeling, no? I think I would be just fine having similar tastes. Hopefully we don't lack creativity, enjoying such an activity as this.


Nope, name's right! You have nothing to fear. :D I'm kind of surprised how many mage characters are in the game, especially compared to the last one. o.O Had I known, I would have tried a different character. But generally, roleplayers need some kind of creativity, and I think everyone accepted fits that expectation. Either way, looking forward to some good character interaction and the story hitting DEFCON 2 with the Ikana thing, because I just know there's going to be something terribad going to come with that.

So Roland was trying to write a novel in the vain of those he used to read. Unfortunately he has not a creative bone in his body to speak of so he pretty much wrote an autobiographical summary of events so far from his point of view with a generic fantasy wrapper. Enjoy.Speaking of not having a creative bone; the IC needs more Perry, so my post may be updated with something similar to what you did, Derv.


I was missing Ryloc something fierce; we need the window of that bright, cheerful soul.
Ah yes, agreyloon(atic). I knew things were going downhill fast when she compared me rejecting her to Adolf Hitler. After shitting all over our OOC proclaiming her superiority, she was warned by a mod to leave the game. Then she started trying to provoke me via PM by insulting my province and trying to get me to flip my shit. She's by far the worst person I've met on this site. I didn't know her friend copy and pasted shit, but man, that was a crappy sheet. Expert at everything? C'mon.

Overpower characters are the worst because they are in no way interesting, compelling, or fun to interact with. One thing I've really wanted to do with this game is make it so it had a place for everyone from experienced killers to your average joe just caught up in crazy events, and look where it's got us; a diverse cast of characters that are distinct from one another, well roleplayed, and quite memorable and likeable. I honestly love what this game's become, and it's because of you guys. You may have had to jump through a few hoops before you got accepted, but I think you'd all agree in the end it was worth it, because the people here now wanted to be here enough to work with Soul and I to make a character that would fit well in the story and you all went above and beyond expectations; that's why I moved this to Advanced, because instead of a couple paragraphs like we expected, you guys have put together some fantastic long reads that I am overjoyed to see. Honestly, can't stress it enough; you guys are fantastic, and you make me want to keep this game going until it reaches a satisfying conclusion, and I want you all with me when that happens.

That said, I hope Vanq's okay, because I haven't seen her online (I have her on Skype, too) for quite some time. :/

You know, I don't have a problem with people posting those types of characters, some people are just like that. I have a problem with people who get miffed when they're turned down, and continue to be difficult when you try to help them make an acceptable character, and then throw a hissy fit and blame everybody else when they are finally told they can't join.I can't understand how those people fail to realize that they are not entitled to a spot. The GM is not obligated to accept you, so if you want in, you'd best pucker up.


I've seen that so fucking much it hurts my insides.
