[ dead prairie ]

Just wanted to remind everyone that I'm still around. The RP is still going to happen, but I've decided pushing back the start date post-Christmas is best. Got caught up in holiday preparations and haven't had too much time to sit down and write, and I imagine other people here are having the same issue.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

Steam's recent sale has a lot of my wishlist on discount. So tempting, but I don't need to spend more money of vidya games right now.

What has everyone else been playing?

@SleepingSilence

I haven't been on Steam in forever I forgot about Winter sale completely.

Anyway, I've been playing a bit of Pokemon lately. Specifically an Emerald nuzlocke with some of the worst RNG I have ever seen in a Pokemon game. So many crits or other bullshit. I'm like 3/4ths through the game, so I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off lmao.

Suggestion: Forum Subscriptions

My suggestion is that we take the already present ability to subscribe to individual threads and apply that concept to entire forums. For example, if someone wanted to be notified of a new threads in one of the interest check forums they could go to that forum, hit the subscribe button, and be kept up to date on when new threads appear there.

@rush99999

Eh, I don't think it'd be needed. You can already keep an eye on the latest interest check section for anything new and/or look for yourself for any new threads that have [FRESH] next to their name, like this:

First things first: I will be giving @TGM some extra time to finish their sheet as they have spoken to me about the RP. But otherwise, welcome to the reviews!

@Lemons I have no pressing issues with your sheet. However, I do ask if you could resize her FC. As it stands now, her image is giant, even when I view her sheet on my PC. Also, just quick note: The USAF didn't exist in WW2, it was bundled in the Army as the USAAF. Not sure if you knew or it was a minor typo, but I figured since it's something important to your character I should probably point it out.

@BenG85 My main issue is that his personality section is barebones. Like, really barebones. Other than that, could you maybe find another blue that's more easier on the eyes? Always drives me insane because it doesn't contrast well with RPG and is difficult to make out. Maybe dodgerblue?

@Rekker No issues or concerns to report. I like what I see.

@Tally Dor Pretty basic character sheet, but there's nothing wrong with basic. My main issue would be the same with Ben's; to expand on the character traits some more.

---

Now, on to other matters. Since we only have 4 (not counting myself or TGM) character sheets, I will be accepting each and every one of you. Had we had more apps things would've been different, but I feel accepting all four sheets is best in the case people drop from the RP and we don't immediately find ourselves stonewalled by it in the RP.

Post a random fact about yourself.

i like wolves and husky dogs

@wheels

Huskies are cool. My grandparents had four huskies as I was growing up.

ATTENTION: Deadline for sheets will be next week Friday by 11:59 PM CST for sheet review/approval that weekend and most likely start of the roleplay. Any sheets past that time will not be considered. I figured this would give people enough time to finish sheets with the holidays coming up, especially since I was slacking myself earlier with getting this thread up in the first place.

Persistent world suggestion...

We got star Wars... But why not make a Persistent world for all the fans of Smallville? Gilmore girls? Digimon? Dark Shadows? Starsky and Hutch? CSI: Original... Miami? NY? Law and Order? Hellboy? Some from those... Final Fantasy X?

Why not give those... their due? Sounds like a sound suggestion... doesn't it?

@MacieLightfoot

Well... we ignore the dead persistent world. And add other persistent worlds. Like the ones i mentioned once before. We just have to move forward. that's all.

@MacieLightfoot

The problem is finding a large enough group that a) is into those things and b) will actually stick around and not let it die. The Star Wars PW is the second of its kind (at least on neu-guild) and neither attempts were particularly successful in the long run. You could try, like Nutts said, with making a "PW" in the Advanced or even Nation RP sections, but given the history of PWs on the guild I think you'd be better off just keeping to regular old RPs if you do decide to try that route. It'll just end up bloating the sections with numerous threads for the same RP(s) if people are making a thread for every adventure, important meeting, etc. instead of in a dedicated section like the Star Wars PW was supposed to be for.

@Tally Dor Add [hider=characternamehere] before the sheet code and [/hider] after the sheet code.

@ everyone: I will most likely implement a sheet deadline soon, just so everyone knows.
