I'll be getting my first post up tonight. I think I'm just gonna have Liam come in as someone looking to join; have him start off in the lower echelons.

I think I should do something similar, but I don't think she'd be welcome initially if she did things like that. The whole...walking in business.

@Feisty-Pants

I'm just gonna point out here that there are two characters already waiting in the wings for an IC introduction, both of whom have been waiting since the last version of this game (and therefore get first dibs!). While nothing stops you waiting for your introduction, introducing lots of characters all at once with the due levels of caution from the Ashes will get repetitive and clunky and, frankly, be quite out of character for the Ashes.

If you want to hold onto your characters until it's basically 'their turn', that would be fine, but, given how unpredictable any RP's pace is, we can't actually guarantee when that might be.

If you're keen to jump in now, I would just recommend being legit members from the off.

No worries dude. I wasn't expecting this section over quickly, and I've exams 'n' shit myself.

England the 51st state.

Heh, that sounds a lot like the controversy that came up in 2004 about both Bush and Kerry belonging to the Skull and Bones society when there were at Yale. Though, that they produced both Bush and Kerry seems to suggest that they are not particularly impressive despite their name...

@Vilageidiotx

The big criticism of the public school -> oxbridge -> high public office from me is obviously the corruption, but that it spits out shiny PR twats with no real character.

In the recent election campaign, David Cameron made a prepared joke about his favourite football team: he got the wrong team. Somebody had written his speech for him, made a mistake, and the shiny twat hadn't noticed; his 'human persona' is written for him. He's just a shallow husk of a human that doesn't even have the honesty to admit he doesn't like prole-sports.

England the 51st state.

Are Reptile from Liverpool?

@Dead Girl

No, from the Bullingdon Club.

It's a subject of much controversy, for those of you who don't know, in the UK that George Osborne, Boris Johnson, David Cameron, three of our biggest names in contemporary politics, all attended the same male-exclusive club at (I think-) Oxford University, having all attended the same public* schools.

* by public schools, we British don't mean public schools at all: they're what we call our ultra-fancy, typically boarding schools that you have to pay ultra-big bucks to attend.

Kim and Jonas are so suspicious! It's all crazy-talk, all of it.

England the 51st state.

Also, I advise you not to use the term 'English' when referring to a 'British' PM. Such error is what annoys the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish most, hence the otherwise meaningless and all-round disadvantageous Scottish independence movement.

@Iluvatar

Especially if the Prime Minister isn't actually English, like Gordon Brown (Scottish) or David Cameron (Reptile).

I take it that means delicious picnics are saved for later?
Perfect.
Lynn will steal jam. And more almond bread.

@MyCatGinger

If you want to have a picnic by the lake, later in the week is fine. Needless to say, you will require the food for that, which will require asking your Wolf of choice; the same for any of the characters that are planning on going fishing at some point. Perhaps that's something somebody could do in this section? I should be around for any collab tonight, but tomorrow is my last day before my exam, so it will probably be "no I can't collab because I'm so stressed and scared I just shot a man and I've just used up my one phone call at the station haaaaaaaaalp". Or, I might be able to shoot you a couple of words.

Note:

Really dull gubbins to be found added to the Character Tab. Apparently, in this section, Jig is sponsored by Boring Industries ^{♫ You can't be Boring without Boring Industrieeees ♫}, so it's good news that you're all brilliant creative writers that can make even the nothing that I've given you to go on interesting. ^^

I don't think anybody yet has mentioned an actual literal picnic, nor suggested one for this particular section.

Well, Luther has been thoroughly interrupted at this point

If you guys wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if further posts wait until after I post in the morning. Seems a bit unreasonable for everyone to ignore the fact than Ronan had opened the floor to Luther for any longer, no matter how little they like him :P

@TheMaster99

This is the gift of timestamping. Unless other posts have included other post-Luther details, we can always tweak the time stamps so that these events took place before the door was open.

Edit: Okay, so if I'd checked to see what you were talking about before talking shit, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself in a public forum. Noted.

Wolf Manor

I'm not confirming or denying anything. ^^_omnomnomnom
