Lady Absinthia

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Inkarnate Yes, having a player or two in on certain details is fine and can be well used. (Though I have had Co-Gm's go behind my back and tell things to other players that shouldn't be brought in yet.) That is one thing but that isn't what I am talking about in the slightest.

I am speaking of people who are constantly questioning everything. "Well what happens if I go here, or do this? " types, or "Why did this NPC do that?". Trying to metagame before they even post by getting information before hand so they can change what they are doing for the outcome they have plotted out in their mind instead of seeing where the RP takes them. Or worse yet, those that have been informed that everything they need to know is either IC or in the original OOC post and then they still prod for more. Even after the Gm has constantly told them, wait and see.

With many Rps I don't run into this but in Mystery RP's I run into it constantly. They want clues to solve the puzzle without doing the work IC. For me, what's the point of joining a mystery RP just to constantly ask the Gm for solution on page 1 of the RP.

🧚🏻‍♀️ The Walking Dead - Year 6 Part 1

@TechnoWizROK Okay, you are good to go and may move him over to the CS tab as of now. Welcome to the RP! I will be rolling for his random entrance point and posting it in the new WN post for the RP. That is unless you want to wait. My next WN is calling for end of day, the following will be the next morning. So I can bring you in for settling in for the night, or come the morning. It is up to you. Just depends on how quickly you want to get started is all. Let me know.

🧚🏻‍♀️ The Walking Dead - Year 6 Part 1

@TechnoWizROK Okay, looks good but a few notes - each form of hand to hand combat has to be it's own skill. Tae Kwon Do varies greatly from Judo and boxing greatly from both. (~has her Dan registration in Tae Kwon Do from the Kukkiwon in Seoul~ #KamsahamnidaSabeomnimSeo ) - so we keep all forms of marital arts as their own individual skill set.

As far as post out break skills go - use all your seven. Anything from water purification, to machete. Check other people's Cs's to ideas. Make sure you don't want to have more than you have right now, because the skills are the only things he will know. He won't get more until after times jumps and those are determined by what happens in game play and what jobs he is assigned. So, it's best to fill those up.

So make the hand to hand combat changes, those are a must. (I am beyond anal when it comes to fighting styles, blame it on decades in the art.) Change/add skills in the post outbreak if you wish, then tag me for final review. Have any questions, just ask.

Okay, expanding universe - I have got to get the details on this one >.>

Mahz's Dev Journal

Awesome! Thankies!!!

With the join leave, maybe a way for Gm's to add to a roster (Maybe even could be tied into a mass pm for the RP, or a way for Gm's to auto tag everyone active in the RP when there are updates.)

Mahz's Dev Journal

Since many of the Gm's on the forum host large group Rp's - is there any way we could get the number of people involved in a PM upped so we don't have to break down group pm's to two or even three pm's?

Justice Asylum: - Marc's eyes snapped over to the woman who spoke and Cynthia looked up and then beamed with the brightest childlike smile. "Mommy!" she cried out and rushed over to her, wrapping her arms around the woman and hugging her tightly. The woman's arms came around Cynthia slowly but she returned the hug and rested her hand on the back of Cynthia's head.

"Saw the mess, you okay?" she asked, ignoring the question from Iris but keeping an eye on her and Marc as Cynthia continued to cling on her.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine! I painted the prettiest picture! And then another girl painted an even prettier one! She was awesome mom!" Cynthia said brightly, as if they were talking about crayons and paper instead of crayons and blood.

Marc didn't like this one bit, he had never seen this woman in his life. Not when it was concerned with Cynthia that was. But he knew her face, he had seen her in files before but there was nothing that could ever be tied to her. Marc took a protective step in front of Iris and kept his vest and jacket pulled back, making sure he had quick access to his gun. He wasn't going to hesitate putting a bullet through her skull if needed.

The woman smirked a bit as she watched Marc move. "Cynthia, sweetie, we are going to play a little game."

"Oooo! What game," she asked enthusiastically.

"Hostage, play along sweetie, I'll get you a gallon of strawberry quick if you do good," she said s the cold smirk grew. Marc felt a knot in his stomach but before he could draw his gun the woman had spun Cynthia around and placed her in a hold with syringe of blue liquid pressed to her neck. Cynthia looked so excited but then she realized the game was one and she started to look panicked.

"Let her go..." Marc growled as he pointed his gun towards the woman but she kept Cynthia well placed in front of her.

"Oh no! Help! Let me go!" Cynthia screamed out, whether or not she was playing at this point was anyone's guess, perhaps it was both. The syringe partially pushed into her throat and it was clear the wince of pain was real.

"Now, let's not be stupid. You pull the trigger and I get hit my hand tenses and you can say by by to the girl," the woman stated coldly.

Over in the "attack room" the orderlies gave a quick run down of what they had seen and took the bags to put their clothing in, they would need to find some thing else to wear first. "Security cameras? Yeah, those are on the fifth floor main building to the west. Administration. They can get you a copy, we aren't allowed in there. Only Admin, Security, and well cops, but figure you count under the cop umbrella."

Zoies Farm: - Zoie looked over to Mali and nodded a bit. "Wells it has an hasn't. Alicia being killed has done some major damage to their front, they be looking for someone to replace her now. Thing is finding someone with her skill. They don't like the three legged versions of our species," she said glancing over at Relic. "Strict girls club. Like Mean Girls on steroids," she said before leaning forward and rubbing her hands together.

"Hey," Relic said but letting whatever he was going to say pass.

"Right now I gots to wait to hear back from my handler in Juno. I can'ts be risking getting in contact with Marc until things calm down and right now, don't be looking like it gonna be calming down anytime soon." Taking a breath she leaned back on the couch and her brow perked as she watched Mali. "Rights now I need a damn good cover story to cuts back on my clients," she added.

"Zo! You mean you actually? You know?" Relic asked stumbling over his words as the realization of what his sister did actually and fully dawned on him.

"Yeah, ain't nothin. Oldest profession and all that jazz," she said chuckling. The shade of red in his face was totally worth his embarrassment in her eyes.

"But I mean, you..." he tried to say and Zoie couldn't help but laugh and roll her eyes. Clearing his throat and trying to appear helpful he finally asked a question. "So um, how would you cut down? You know on.. clients?"

Zoie smiled and glanced towards Mali. "I take on an exclusive."

Justice Memorial Hospital: - Natasha took the paper and nodded before folding it up and tucking it into her pocket. "I will, since you are going to wait you are welcome to wait in the family room. If there are any updates before you leave I will make sure to come to you directly. Let me know if there is anything else you need," she said as she gave Riley her card before rushing off to the ER. She had work to do and while she wasn't the lead surgeon on this case she could at least assist and make sure things went alright. Not that she had any doubts in the surgeon that was on the lead, he was excellent but Felix came in and was her patient. She would see it through.

On her way to the ER she texted Cecily to let her know what was going on, glad she had entered all the pertinent numbers into her cell when she was back in the morgue earlier that day. "Had to report to the Hospital for an emergency. We are code black here. Will be in surgery most of the night, some kid had an eye gouged out. Will do my best to make the flight in the morning." - Hitting send as she moved through the halls towards the OR she shoved her phone back into her pocket and stuck her ear bud in her lobe in case she got something back. Thank god for wireless.

The waiting room for families was a bit nicer than the Er waiting room that was for sure. Couches and comfortable chairs. Coffee, other drinks, snacks and so forth were laid out for the few people in there. It was far less crowded than the main room. There was a TV in the corner with Amy Adam's report from earlier being replayed. The few people in there were huddled together, seemed and looked like they were all members of a single group. Though they didn't stay long, something about going to visit the hospital chapel to pray from the eldest woman in the group before the walked out and headed down the hallway.

Then the help scream rang out and the orderlies eyes widened. "What the fuck now?" one of them grunted. Down the hallway Cynthia was backing out of the room slowly being held tight by her mom and being half drug down the hallway towards the back of the wing floor, away from the rest of everyone. Doc, stay in here," Marc said as he followed, his gun trained on the woman but he couldn't pull the trigger yet, he couldn't risk Cynthia.

Common Sense - A Post-Post-Apocalyptic Revolutionary Tale

Sunie Marks

Sunie slowly read over the paper, which wasn't easy considering the level damage to the paper. Water marks? Something else? Either way it wasn't as if it was a simple task to figure out what it said. She was able to make out a little bit of it. Someone was sold out? They would need to be dealt with? There was a plan? What plan? Who? It didn't make much sense to her but the people she catered to weren't always the most noble, on either side of the political divide. She was sure it wasn't Sana's or Lola's handwriting, so whose was it? Could be a number of people that had come into her shop. She sometimes had to bring people into the back to go over things. Anyone could have dropped it.

Leaning forward she thought to herself for a moment before standing and looking around. Well, if anything she could try two things to figure out what was going on. Normally she would have just tossed the paper, figuring it didn't concern her. But this was in her shop and for all she knew the people that needed to be dealt with was her or her sisters. So there was no choice at this point. she had to at least do a little bit of investigating. Granted that wasn't in her skill but she did have a few base ideas. The first one was her Image Scanner, made if she scanned it she could enhance the image and get a few more words off of it. the other was to start going through her hand written files and see if she could find someone's writing that matched what was on the paper. Right then she was glad she kept most everything done old school - in pen instead of in the computer.

Stepping over to her scanner she rested the paper down and took a scan, pulling it up on the computer screen and running an enhancing program. It was rather basic but she used this to help determine small knicks and flaws in various metals she worked with. To give her a more in-depth view than she could get with the naked eye. Might as well try it with paper, a simple scan wouldn't hurt it. Wasn't like she was trying lemon and heat on the back of a two hundred year old document. While the program was running she pulled out the last six months of orders and started going through them slowly. Making piles on one side of her of handwriting that was close at first glance, and another stack for hand writing that obviously didn't match. Hopefully she would get something. At least the shop was quite, Sana ad Lola wouldn't be back until late that evening.

Mahz's Dev Journal

I don't mind having ghosted friends, in fact having them visible on my friends list is needed. I have to check log in habits of my Rpers, and those applying to my rps. If they are ghosted but it doesn't show on the friends list I would have to make a rule that required all members of my rps to stay off ghosting mode at all times. (Otherwise I can't keep them in rp because their log ins couldn't be monitored like the rest and wouldn't be fair.)

How about making the friends list a two way street? You add a friend, it has to be approved by that person. Then the friends list only shows those that mutually agree to be friends and shows them ghosted or not, like it used to, on the friends list.

This removes stalking issues using the friends list, requires it to be mutual, and allows Gms to keep doing their job.
