Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

You want the opinion of me, a 'US dweller'?

Donald Trump is honestly my favorite contender for the Republican nomination. My first choice would have been Rand Paul, but of course he was too reasonable to attain any significant following among the Conservative base and dropped out early on in the primaries. Kasich similarly hasn't gained enough momentum to earn my serious consideration.

And what can you UK dwellers have on us? I'm still waiting for you lot to vote the BNP into power


Trump isn't a conservative. He's only recently adopted a few conservative ideas in order to take advantage of people's anger, which has been his shtick from the beginning. Aside from being the epitome of rude and ostentatious, he's even gone so far as to say 'everything's negotiable' in regards to his position. No conservative with a grain of common sense thinks that he's a good option, but a lot of people would rather have an asshat president than a criminal or a socialist. If the US had to sacrifice pride, freedom, or the rule of law, pride ought to be first to go.

His goal isn't to represent conservative ideals: it's the aggrandization of Donald Trump. But there are worse choices out there.

My favorite for a long time was Ben Carson, but unfortunately he couldn't get enough momentum.

Anyway, where do non-US people get off making assumptions about American politics? We let you mind your own business, don't we?

@Cyclone, I love how the US has like 5 different candidates at any given time xD


Not true in the long run. When the election process begins, there's a huge amount of different possible candidates, all representing the different factions and subsets of those factions, the point being to have a great width of ideologies represented. Over time the pool dwindles until there's only one for each faction, and then the real election is held. Right now we're in the middle of the process.
Hmm.

@Kho, khookies for Allure due to the recent collab between Allure and Notte, please.
@Lugubrious Alright. Think I have a character in line. Quick question, though.

Should all player characters be capable of passing as humans from the start, or would it be possible for me to bring in a fully undisguised demon twice the size of a grizzly bear?


No restrictions on appearance! Go nuts.
Tempted to make a character for this. Hesitating because it wouldn't be the first time I feel like I have time to spare and then uni suddenly picks up, or another RP starts getting post after post way faster than it ever has and I'm suddenly left struggling to keep up.

Assuming you're still accepting, how many players are you looking for? What levels of activity are expected?


I don't believe any set limit of players has been decided. We'll be looking for pretty frequent levels of activity, I think. Checking every day, and posting multiple times a week might be the norm.
@LugubriousDo goats exist?

A really terrible awesome pun is riding on them.


They would exist on the Gilt Savannah or in the Mahd River Valley, yes.
@Lugubrious Do you think it would be possible for a tribe to escalate the thing and try to live on its back life a bunch of fleas?


If by escalate you mean scale or climb, yeah, potentially.
@Rtron, I have a quick comment to make about your usage of Brush Beasts. Take a little look at this:



The image you used for Grot shows that humans are the perfect size to pop into his mouth like candy. I would not say that there's much distortion based on distance in terms of size. So, he's pretty big. But in your post you described him picking up Brush Beasts (which wouldn't cower. They're like cows in terms of intelligence, and cows don't do much of anything even when patiently queued for the slaughterhouse) and chowing down on them in only a couple of bites. Take a look at this:



As luck would have it, humans are about the size of their mouths, too, but their mouths are tiny compared to their bodies. Do you see what I'm getting at? Brush Beasts are bigger than Grot. Even if he attempted to eat a baby Brush Beast, it would be like a human trying to eat a dachsund. You'd be better off chowing down on Feathered Slouches like ham sandwiches than Brush Beasts.

Slough doesn't have much going for her or her creations when it comes to interactions between them and other gods or their creations, but Brush Beasts deserve some respect for their size. They're ludicrously huge and tough. Even something I've got planned, which is absolutely enormous, would not attempt to kill a Brush Beast even if it could.
In just a few hours, Slough Week will be done. Thank you to all three participants.

Who's next?
<Snipped quote by poog the pig>

Why is this silly fight going on when Ilunabar and Jvan have such an army of qt1.34s around?


I don't know what this means, but Allure encountering Lifprasil is an idea I am more than willing to entertain.
Is Nevix still in this RP?


Nope, Kho issued an ultimatum and he did not respond.
