Current I just force Bork or Shiva to RP when I need a GM.

I think the main thing with any IC is a good pitch, I've joined plenty of RPs because the pitch was good (but rarely do I care about how pretty the thread is).

Some questions are just curve balls though. Traditionally the answer to "Do you support white supremacy?" is an easy no, unless you're either an idiot or racist or probably both.

Always!

I'll toss something up in the next day or two if it's my turn. :D
Yeah, same here, I don't mind waiting for a couple of more people.
Er, just because I know its been a bit, can I get a roll call to see who's still in and up for this RP?


Here and ready to explode enemy mechs. :D
No rush, I'm still here, just always super busy at the start to middle of the week.

Another day, another sheet finally finished:

Nora




Stepping into the room in the wake of Percy's hasty exit, Nora gestured for Skarsat to have a seat at one of the empty chairs surrounding the table. Her man, as it was. He did look the part at the very least. She hoped he could fight as well as he could scowl. She thought it likely he could hold his own. At least when it came to drunkards in the tavern.

She heard Neh’miah mentioning her name and felt a tingle of pleasure at his description. To be feared was good and to be respected for her violence was even better. Neh’miah was a talented guttersnipe. Amusing even. But he was too loud for her taste. He was too foolish. And he was too full of bravado and ale.

"Your mouth will be the end of you sooner than I will," Nora said as she moved to stand next to Vargas. The corner of her mouth turned into a shallow smile as she eyed the boastful thief. She could almost forgive him his many vices, almost. Neh’miah had a gift for thievery, but talent did not excuse sloppiness. And profit did not reduce risk. A wanted man was a wanted man, even if he was a good runner.

Nora leaned in close, speaking in a whisper as she handed him the coin purse she had so recently liberated, "Merchant Aman sends his regards, Lord Vargas. I have taken steps to ensure that he pays his debt with interest."

"We are here as you asked, Lord Vargas, what would you have us do?" Nora asked as she turned her attention to the others. They were a sorry lot, a band of misfits that meshed perfectly with the current setting.

The sailor, the stranger, had the look of a pirate and Nora did not miss the blade that rested on his hip. He carried it well and did not seem a stranger to violence. Y'Vanna was known to her. The woman was a regular and a regular nuisance. Still, when she was sober, she could get the job done, and as long as Lord Vargas tolerated Y'Vanna's unfortunate drinking habits, then Nora would do the same.

Nora recognized the smiling courtesan. She had seen her often enough. The woman had all the marks of one of Fontaine's girls. What purpose she had in the Faded Lantern was unclear to Nora, although she was sure that it had something to do with Vargas. Nora doubted Fontaine would have approved, the brothel madam had ever been a jealous protector of her merchandise, but Nora had no intention of asking her. The path to Fontaine could only be followed with much bloodshed and Lord Vargas was not overly fond of unnecessary conflict.
Straight from the Interest Check:




Just gotta wrap up the MAS, but should have it done tomorrow.
I think I'm pretty solidly in the camp of "Discord is for banter and quick discussion", while the OOC is where the GM or players make more official statements.

I personally don't mind being on Discord, but I have noticed that it has a tendency to leading to a sort of cliquey environment where it's we "the Discord users" in an RP as the driving force because we're regularly chatting with the GM and orbiting on the outside are the people who only post in the IC/OOC (which feels far from ideal, not everyone can or wants to be on Discord all the time or even some of the time).

There is also the downside that if you (the players/GM) spend much of your RP activity on Discord then it can also seem like the IC/OOC are pretty dead (which isn't maybe an issue if you have your core group of players, but if you're hoping to get more/new people it can seem strange when the IC/OOC are virtually dead for months at a time).

In an ideal world, I think it's good to try and balance your use of both OOC and Discord, leveraging the advantages that each can bring, and in turn reducing the disadvantages that relying solely on one or the other give rise to.
