Artifacts of a Lost Civilisation - ( Kitsune & NuttsnBolts )

Yeah, it's the new android firmware update.

I seemed to have fixed up some of the issues but from the looks of it I'm going to have to wait for the update for some of the other minor gripes to be resolved. At the moment it's 5.0.1 and 5.1 if you root/jailbreak the device, but I don't know enough about Linux coding to be comfortable with that option. It can get very messy... :P

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

<Snipped quote by vancexentan>

How often does this happen, out of curiosity?

I can see reasons why someone would do that (including just plain forgetting), but I would like to know how often that occurs in case I ever run my own RP.

@Shorticus

I find that people that sometimes do this tend to be lacking an RP and they are guaging their interest and others by dropping a post in several rps and seeing which one they'll end up joining. I did this once but that was because of the three that I applied for, one gm got back to the RP after several days, one went a direction that didn't interest me after seeing what the people we're talking about, and the third ended up being a successful RP.

There's also some members who cannot time manage. So they'll apply and get back to the site several days later and forget about the RP.

There's also a drop off rate once a few people start to enter, so if you're ever going to gm a game, be prepared for that too.

@VATROUThat's cool. Its only a movie so it's not long, but the animation quality is very high as nearly every scene is flowing with motion. Not to mention that musical score. xD

Just posted. Gotta head off to my Racing tonight so I won't be online too much as I have a bit of work to do to make sure the RC Car is ready for this season.

Sapphyre Martel
^Survival...

Sapphyre watched on as the hoard of rotten zombies began to beat at the front door of the Library. What started as a couple, grew into a few, and as each minute passed the noise that they made drew more and more from the surrounding areas. It could be seen how little control they had over their own bodies when some of the zombies lingering around the streets would trip over the gutter and dead bodies, an act that a regular human would be able to avoid quite easily.

But all that wasn't the concern right now, for Sapphyre she was growing increasingly anxious about what would happen to those that were inside the library at the time. If enough of the beast surrounded the building, they would eventually find an opening, and once that occurred they would flood into the building like water to a submarine that sustained damage. A shelter that eventually would become a tomb to those inside.

Feeling the adrenaline beginning to hit her, Sapphire glanced up over the window's edge for anything that could be used to cause a distraction... anything! Across the road from the Cafe laid a car that had recently been in a crash. The bonnet was buckled in as it hugged the telegraph pole that it had become attached to.

Maybe I can start it up... she wondered as she kept herself crouched and ventured her way out of the Cafe doors, carefully wandering over to the vehicle. Her eyes darted around the environment making sure that she wasn't seen by anyone or anything. The last thing she wanted to become now was dinner for the zombies. As she approached the car she placed her hand on the door and carefully lifted the handle. To her surprise it was unlocked and upon opening the door she was greeted by a drooling figure of a half decomposed body that laid there in the seat, strapped in with the seatbelt.

Sapphyre shrieked, throwing her hands onto her mouth and swung her body around so that she was on the other side of the door, using it as a shield between her and the rotting corpse. Muttering to herself "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me..." she noticed that no movement, nor groaning was heard, and as she peered around the corner she saw that this body was completely dead. Whiplash had snapped the neck in a way that it was hanging out and staring at her, yet the rest of the body faced the opposite way.

Taking a sigh of relief, she scurried around the door and saw the keys hanging out of the ignition. Giving it a turn she heard the car click, but nothing within the motor was sounding like it was going to ignite.

"Shit!" she cursed, realising how stupid it was to think that a car this damaged would ever start up again, but as she sat there kicking her self for her stupidity, she heard the faint sound of music from inside the vehicle.

"This'll get their attention!!!" as she leaned over Mr Dead Dude, thankful that at least the electronics still worked, and cranked up the volume as loud as possible. With more and more danger coming to the Library, this was sure to attract the attention of the beasts. All that was left to do was for Sapphyre to run back to the Cafe and wait to see what would happened next.

Alyon sighed heavily. This ordeal had grown far beyond what she could have expected, but for Fraya it was the sign of a new beginning. A chance to recover the past that she had lost over the years, and Alyon knew that. The books were only going to be of little help with getting to the hard facts and details, information that the two of them needed.

"If we end up going to Vemraham, then we best make sure that we are fully prepared. No more surprises with Tree Spirits, ambushing Killers, Red Light incidents and silly business like at the docks." Alyon's father gave a curious look, but shook his head as he wanded out of the room towards the kitchen.

"I'm going to go outside to practice for a bit, I think I need to let off a bit of steam..." With that, Alyon leaned down to pick up her sword and wandered out to the garden to practice her weapon usage that she had neglected for a while. As she stood out in the cold night she could feel the air pressing against her cheeks, and upon drawing her sword she felt the routine of her techniques flow back into her thoughts.

Reply might be late. I updated my Samsung phone to Lollipop OS and it's freakin broken half my notification features and killing my battery. Going to try and fix it without breaking my apps.

Sapphyre Martel
^Survival...

Don't make a sound... for the sake of your own life DO NOT make a sound...

Sapphyre was leaning up against the low lying cupboard doors of a cafe with her left hand firmly pressed across her mouth and nose. She breathed both heavily and as silently as possible so that the creature on the other side of the counter couldn't hear where she was positioned. She had spotted it as she was rummaging through an abandoned fridge for some kind of food, but because of her foolish butter fingers and weak nerves, she dropped one of the containers and drawn the attention of the living corpse to her immediate location.

She didn't want to die here, and the feelings and emotions slowly built up inside her until they came out in the form of tears. So much had happened since that awlful day and every moment she spent living was a moment extra of survival. In a world that was turning to shit, survivalist was the only career choice left possible.

The zombie hacked and coughed as it wandered around the cafe, probably trying to bring up some lunch that had wedged itself with it's windpipe, but unless something else was going to happen it didn't seem like this hunter was going to leave her alone.

And then the horrifying scream was heard. In the streets that were left silent with the exception of shuffling feet and low level groans, a voice from a neighbouring building echoed throughout the entire neighbourhood. Sapphyre closed her eyes tight and pursed her lips together tightly. She didn't want to hear another death, she didn't want to live this nightmare any longer, she just wanted her old life back and one that she loved so dearly.

Opening one of her eyes, Sapphyre looked up at the stainless steel splash back and saw the shimmering image of her stalker wandering away towards the location of the scream. Carefully she crawled around the bench to get a better view, just as she saw the creature wander it's way out through the broken entrance door. She wanted to know who caused the scream, but a part inside her told her mind that it might be best not to find out.

"No, I need to find another living human..." she whispered carefully to herself as she kneeled up and glanced over to where the flame that was drawing the murderous moths.

"Read a book and Love your Library!"

The motto was prowly strung across the front of the building in steel lettering. That was when she noticed it. The door that was swinging open freely suddenly stopped before it was closed by a force that could only indicate that someone was inside.

There's someone in there! Sapphyre's hands began to shake as she realised that the building was slowly being surrounded by a handful of zombies and there was possibly someone inside. Someone like her that was simply trying to survive.

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

@Shorticus Yeah I'll probably mull over some ideas over the next few months and see how table top elements will work. Might have to do a bit of testing too to see how fair I can make it.

As for characters, that's something that I already thought about and as GM I would probably play a race announcer role where I commentate on the positioning, things that have happened and are coming up, as well as drop subtle hints ("we're dropping into the second straight, will player x open up on his nitro to take the lead from player y?" That kinda thing). As well as characters I'd design a track layout that people can see so it's clear as to what's coming up in the terms of cornering and obstacles.

Most I would probably have is 4 players. Any more and itd be a shit storm.
