If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

@Pundii You know, when I said in chat I was gonna crack the whip, someone got worried. I told them not to worry, that you like it. :P
@Sigil @Morose @BlueSky44 - Alright, we have a time skip of 3 days - Ic is up, OOC has been updated. We are open to new characters and Rpers now while we are docked in Newhope. If you want your characters to have developed some sort of relation over the three days - friend or foe - pm each other and get that worked out. (48 hours on that since this was a small time jump and it wouldn't leave a lot of room for anything big) - Information is posted in the IC, read carefully on what people have been up to. The original OOC has the updated list of the character that currently remain on the Retribution, all others have exited stage left.




Newhope



Newhope: Population 500 Million - the eleventh planet in the Georgia system. It is orbited by three moons: The Commons, Splendor, and Godfors Aken. Set equal distance between two territories - Patience's Whitefall that orbits Athens and Ezra: Niska's territory. A world with a high amount of water, it is a center of trade, vacation spots, crops, and more. A modest planet compared to Core Worlds, it is extravagant compared to Border Planets. A hub where anything can be found and a lot of things lost. The perfect place to get rid of a ship and get a new one if needed. The Alliance steers clear of this world when they can. Patience isn't an issue since she keeps her own moon but Niska is another story and not even the Alliance want to cross him out here.



It took three days for the Reavers to clear enough to give the Retribution a chance to make a break for it. Tensions had been high on the vessel but nothing had broken out, at least no one had fought. Harper was in control of the bridge and while Anisa didn't trust him as much as he trusted Daphne the man was a better pilot when it came to an Alliance vessel, it would have been foolish not to have him in the lead there. That and Daphne was immature, even for her age. She was 26, no longer a child, she needed to stop huffing around like one. It was something Anisa intended to speak with Dorothy about but was putting it off until the boat landed and they could let people go their way if they chose to.

Atticus had spent the majority of his time over the last few days hanging out in the Barbershop. Partly just because Foy was interesting to be around, part of that was because he wanted to see what was going on with the crew of the ship, both sides of it. It seemed a barber shop would be the best place to get gossip and see if people slipped. That and the fact that the night Anisa seized control of the Retribution, before she turned in for the night, he was instructed to not take his eyes off the Alliance crew. Something was not sitting right with her and she wasn't sure if it was Foy, Jahosafat, or Harper. Either way, between herself and the crew of the Vengeance, none of them had allowed any members of the Alliance crew to be alone together. Even pulling in the help of Gideon, Gene, Lionel.

Once they were out of so called harms way the boat landed on Newhope. Anisa had made sure that certain members were escorted off the boat as quickly as possible and sent on their way. Others had chosen to remain. It was a skeleton crew beyond skeleton crew now. They needed new people and she still wasn't sure if Foy and Harper were going to remain with the crew. Jahosafat, after a two day drinking binge decided to stay, for Camilla. He wanted to finish his work, at least enough to stop the Alliance but he couldn't do that under the watchful eye of the Alliance. They would take whatever research he had and use it as a weapon. He wasn't going to have that. Once he sobered up, all bets were off. He was in the med bay nearly day and night hunched over samples, and collecting blood, tissue, and brain matter from one of his "frozen" Reaver popsicles.

Anisa didn't like it but if it put the Independents a step ahead of the Alliance, she would deal with it. Anisa hadn't been doing too well over the last few days. The loss of Jackson was weighing heavily on her. It is never easy for a Captain to lose a crew member, it is harder to lose that last tie to the world you grew up on. For the first time, she truly felt like an orphan without a home. Her planet was scorched, her childhood friend gone, her ship left to rust. Now she was about to sell the ship she had taken over and buy something else.

At least that was her plan for the day, once she found out what Harper decided. She knew what Daphne could pilot, she had a good idea of what Harper was capable of in the drivers seat. Who stayed and who went would help her decide what to pick up. Standing outside of the retribution Anisa looked around, the sun was out, it was still early but it had risen. The air was cool and decent. A nice change from Whitefall. People were coming and going and she watched them. She was waiting on a trader, to start talking prices.

The drop had gone off without a hitch s far as she was concerned. At least once they got there it wasn't a problem. Payment was made. Anisa did something she didn't normally do, she shared the wealth more than what was agreed upon. In the end she had nothing from the trip but she let that go, she had a ship to sell. One that she could charge a pretty price for. Her standard crew got double, even those that were getting leaving. The Alliance crew even got a share. Not as much as her own but enough for the amount of time they were part of her crew. Anisa had paid Harper a little more than the rest of the Alliance crew but that was to cover the fruit that was taken without his permission. Anisa was a bitch but she wasn't unfair.

While Anisa waited outside, the wind kicking up her hair Jahosafat was passed out on one of the med bay bed. He had been working the last 24 hours straight and ended up deciding he needed a quick nap. He had only been asleep an hour or two, lord only knew when he would wake up. Atticus was already in the Barber shop, flipping through his bible while sucking on a hard candy, the wapper sticking out of his front jacket pocket.

@Sigil @Morose @BlueSky44 - Okay, closing out this day and doing the time jump. Post will be up today.
@Caits Thank you! You are a doll!!!
@BrokenPromise Yeahc, what I did there was for mystery RP's the players got to solve the "case" - so everything that was posted they could draw from, even if their characters were not part of a particular scene that gave them the in game information. Then the solution was revealed in RP as long as all the clues had been revealed at one point or another. We did this in Darker Than Black and it worked wonderfully. The person that solved the first chapter was not part of many scenes IC, their character being elsewhere, but it allowed us to move forward even if the characters that were there didn't exactly get it. Made for a good and well played story line, which has been continued to Chapter 2 and is about to be moved to chapter 3.
@Pundii ~cracks the whip~ Come on man, waiting on you to close the day out :P (And I am getting some wonderful suggestions for additions to my whip to make it more painful in chat, lol)
@Morose @Rivaan @Sigil @FantasyChic @Caits @Nallore @TechnoWizROK - Hey peeps, need to ask a favor. If any of you that have not posted since the last WN could get a post in like today, ext 24 hours from this post, that would be awesome. Have Techno in chat and want to get him worked in as quickly as possible. I am not scheduled to do the next WN until like Wed but if you all could get those posts in I could do it tomorrow and then the next WN would be end of day/start of next day - know some of you are chomping at the bit to see who is dead and who is alive. So this could speed things up. ^_^

Thankies!

@Ellri Yeah, anything would be great. I mean finding new Gm's is always awesome but sometimes you just find one you click with and are comfortable with. Would be easier to keep up with their new endeavors.
In Mahz's Dev Journal 9 yrs ago Forum: News
I was wondering, with the RP Tags, if there was a way to work in a GM tag? Like for an RP to be tagged by the GM name or something where people could easily search for RP's hosted by a specific Gm. Or even a tab that could be added to their profile page that shows topics they have started in the RP sections, divided up by Interest Checks and RP's. Would make it easier for people who enjoy certain Gm's to see quickly if they are hosting something new.

That and perhaps a ~enter tag name~ tag, where you type in your own tag. In case your Rp has something about it that isn't as common and needed for a "full time tag" but would be useful for describing the RP.
