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

Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ 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."

Posting this in ALL my Rps:

Okay, some know this some don't. From time to time I do Music Videos for characters in RP's - either Ships, tributes to the dead, or just to close out a part of an RP and pay tribute to the journey so far.If you have not seen any of these and are curious check the Original OOC of TWD and DTB for examples.

Now, the biggest thing for these is finding the gifs to make the videos. Which is completely time consuming. So... To make that a little easier on me and to help others make sure they get some images they like in a video next time I get the bug... Do me a favor; I want each person in my Rp's to get together 5-10 still images and/or Gifs of their character or that represent their character and put them in a hider under their CS and RS in the CS tab. Like So...



I am opening editing of Cs's until Tuesday Morning East Coast US to add these currently. If you find some you want to add later just drop me a message in the OOC and tag me to get permission to add them then.

@FantasyChic Sounds good.

@Morose - Is Jaina going to be being moved from Claimed NPC to Full character? Or keeping that on hold for now?

@Sigil If you want, Pm me to start a collab for Harper and Anisa with the buyer might as well will go more smoothly
@Morose If you and Sigil wanna collab Dorothy/Foy - go ahead, just pm me if you do, I can do rolls between replies.

@FantasyChic - Okay, I think you are good to go. (Though I am half asleep so I might catch something later, lol) I thought we might have a problem with the color code considering Risa's color but on comparing them think they are far enough apart not to cause a big issue since Risa is currently, though active, off screen.

Risa
Priya

Go ahead and move her over to the CS tab.

@Dragoknighte @Sigil @Morose @Scallop @Nallore @FantasyChic

Okay, reminder that I have court on Monday so I did place myself under a two day extension just in case. Remember if you haven't posted since the last WN to get that in before your counter runs out - it will be your last post for this ~Chapter~.

Now, onto the new chapter. We will be welcoming a new face to the group - FantasyChic. Some of you know her from DttS, TWD, and Miranda. Chapter 3 will bring her character in when she is ready. We will be doing a counter restart as per usual for new Chapters. Also, those that survived chapter 2 will be getting their new skill to add to their CS, Morose will be receiving 2 additional for Cecily and 1 additional for Iris since she solved the case. (Due to time of each character in RP.)

We will be updating Relations with the new chapter! So go ahead and start pming each other and working on those. I am unsure if Fantasy's new character will have any per-exsisting relations with established characters but if you get a PM from her, I have already cleared her for this, so have fun with it.

Remember, get those posts in if you haven't. Get together to update Relations. (Make your Chapter 3 Clue/Relation sheet and go ahead and stick it in there once you are done if you wish. We will be using the same one from Chapter 3, just with the updated information. Take out inactives or dead, add in new comers.

Chapter 3 will be titled Vengeance. (Anyone in Miranda had to see that one coming lol)

Think that covers it!


In Why did this RP never get of the ground? → 9 yrs ago Forum: Roleplaying Discussion
Since I do not know you I cannot speak on whether your popularity or lack thereof influenced it but I will give my two copper pieces. From first glance it looks well put together but this is what I would imagine would turn either myself or others away from it.
  • Held in Casual, but looks more like a Nation or Advanced RP to start. Now while there are plenty of Rp's in Casual that could be hosted in the aforementioned, they are usually in Casual for a specific reason - such as teaching. Perhaps it was just the location of said Rp.
  • Set up - At the top of the RP it is a pure information dump. You have to dig to find the concept of the RP and the players roles. Anytime you leave people digging, they tend to turn away
  • Rules - they are both a little long winded and yet don't give enough of the pure expectations such as posting habits, break down of what is acceptable as far as language and gore goes, etc.
  • The character sheet is lacking. Now for most this might not be an issue but for me, I see a short character sheet it leaves too much that can be metagamed and leaves too many loophole areas for people to wiggle with.
  • Was there an interest check posted? Chances are, once it hits the Casual section, it gets glossed over by anyone that hasn't already shown an interest. That is until it gets off the ground and those who might have thought about it get to see some posts and want to join then. No Interest Check, rarely interest is able to be gained.


Now, those are just a few things that may have kept it from getting off the ground. Sometimes it is just bad timing. Sometimes with an Rp set up such as yours, you just need a group that you are already comfortable with to form a base, then others will step in. Then again, you might just not have given it enough time. Yes, some Rp's fill up quickly but those that do usually fall under two categories: A) The GM already has a steady group. (This is usually where I fall. I have a base of around a dozen RPers I can count on when I start a new Rp to at least take a look, three I know that if I start an RP they will join.) or B) A lot of people that are quick to fizzle out and two to three remain.

Don't let it deter you though. Some Rp's just never get off the ground. I attempted several when I first came to the forum that even with interest never got that first IC post. They are back logged to retry later and I moved on. Glad I did, now I have 6 that are running smoothly without issue that span from going 9 months to 2 years.

Just keep trying, eventually you will get the three things you need to have a successful RP, the RP Trifecta if you will: Right Time, Right Place, Right People. Just takes patience.
