Current I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Being snowed-in on a monday after a 60 hour week is... surprisingly relaxing.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Those are super cool! Would you be interested in roleplaying??


I guess so, although my mere presence may end up bumping this to casual.
oooh, right, I missed that detail, sorry Teal.
Well, while I'm here, I may as well offload a few ships and crewmembers.

Raleigh 'One Leg' Srarka (Heavywieght Naga, lengthwise, she's as big as the ship)

Harding 'Banished' Beckwith (Swashbuckling Tiefling Trickster-Bard)

And some gunslinger named "Jack", not that Jack, or the other Jack, we named the Drider "Jack". And this, is his gun.

And now, for a collection of boat-spam:

I'll probably infodump multiple paragraphs about sailing, and the local weather patterns, though. And lore-wise Jack doesn't speak english and uses the rest of the crew to translate.

Also gonna ping @tealrootssss and @erikh

I’m just some guy.


The best lad on the team.
meh, i think having a small group for that RP idea could be cool. I could be a rando crew member maybe! idk, i have a lot on my plate anyways so maybe it's not the smartest idea.




We all seem to be suffering from the same problem at the same time, but think the idea has merit.

Reconvene at a later time?
fair enough womp womp


Wanna take my place?

I was just here to get the idea started.
So a Pirates vs convoy-escorts RP? Alt-reality age-of-sail and crossing the T and whatnot with fantasy-races actually kinda sounds like something we could pitch to a group.
Well, an idea I probably won't be able to do could be a small sailing vessel/private yacht traveling the world. What they do while traveling would be an added gimmick like solving crime, mythological (treasure)/xenobilogical (cryptid) exploration (hunting), or committing crimes. Although for a free-RP I'd suggest something simple as fight-club, but not a fight-club.

Another idea could be a team of test-pilots, or a flying exhibition team. Just add a few aliens and mechs and you'd have plenty of hooks in the water for that.

Another end of the coin would be a convoy/caravan escort traveling through pirate-infested waters/the green zone, basically just making sure everybody gets the basics for rebuilding a near/post-apocalyptic society. If that doesn't work, throw aliens zombies and cryptits at it until it is interesting. Lots of armed yachts/merchant-ships or mad-max gun-trucks to play with.
