A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancΓ©, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancΓ©. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

"It's not the result of one's life that's important.
It's the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life... and love.
It's enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring."

If you need me to put up a status update post, just give me a notification.
Two hundred and seventy-two.
@ArenaSnow

Cheers -- I was wondering if I should've just done that, but the guy I sent a PM to the first time was pretty quick to respond so I didn't really think this'd be an issue. Anyway, I'm thinking I'll just toss them a notification to this thread itself, omitting Mahz since I assume he's not active enough.

@Sherlock Holmes@Hank@Kangaroo@Mag Lev

I'd appreciate it if someone removes the thread linked in the opening post. I know it's not crazy important, but it's still annoying.

Cheers in advance.
@Snagglepuss89

Pretty much, yeah.

Also, I agree with that. My history with role-play is actually more common on messengers than it is on sites, and I can honestly say that having a really good OOC is usually what keeps a role-play alive -- no matter how good the IC is, people don't get the same feeling as they do if the community is on good terms, which is one of a few reasons I make a habit of becoming friends with the people I role-play with.

Most of my best role-playing experiences were with a very close circle of friends who were role-playing with me using my main story project's setting ('Guardian Ascension', or just 'GA'), which - just for the record - this role-play is very loosely connected to by virtue of spin-off/multiverse-type stuff.

Anyway, I've been contemplating a Discord chat, considering I planned to make a Discord channel for discussion about my GA project once I'm in a better state, but as it currently stands my PC is in a very bad condition and I'm trying to get all my important information off of it so I can transfer over to a new one. To put it into perspective, I have regular PC crashes and browser crashers -- like, very regular. Certain activities, such as browsing wikia sites (or other sites that have lots of active adds) are too much for this PC to handle, and so is running (or joining) something like a Discord chat. So it's more likely to be a thing once my new PC's up.

Edit: I've created a placeholder for a spot in the opening post where the Discord chat will be linked to.
@Pudding@Snagglepuss89

Lol, well, this thread certainly got a different atmosphere quickly. I get the feeling I'm gonna be hitting the 'Laugh' button a lot more than I thought I would unless I just start responding to posts with a laugh and only hit the button for the insanely funny ones.

Honestly though, it took a while to settle between 'Millionaire' and 'Billionaire', since I had to work out how common it was for people to potentially be a billionaire in 2012. Given how his existence likely has had a large impact on the economy in certain countries, I wanted to be careful of things like that since I tend to be a stickler for the details. I figured since he's mostly an anonymous benefactor though, he could likely be the fill in for a lot of real life anonymous benefactors in the era.
@Pudding

I think you meant to send that [ @Mention ] at @Snagglepuss89.
@Snagglepuss89

Lol, well, I knew about the first and third pictures and named him knowing we couldn't avoid those connections... but I've gotta say the second picture came outta nowhere for me. Wasn't expecting that.

I figured since he's divorced, it wouldn't be in relation to him in the current role-play. With this in mind though, you're asking for the sake of his backstory, yeah?
@Snagglepuss89

Just for the record, it's 'Bonaparte', not 'Van Bonaparte'. I can understand why people might make this misconception, since 'van _____' or 'von _____' are surnames in some countries, but 'Van' actually happens to be his middle name. Figured I'd make a point of this here, since like... three people have done this now. Lol.

Anyway...

>Laugh.

Really? You're going there? Don't make the harem aesthetic any worse. It's bad enough this guy is suave as fuck.

To answer your question, yes they do -- the world's pretty close to the real world 2012 outside of all the hidden contemporary fantasy stuff, and the fact that certain figures who didn't exist in real life 2012 (such as Bonaparte) exist in this world and subsequently would have an impact on the flow of history and society. Then again, you're joking, so I don't know why I'm answering this. Probably because I can.
@Aewin@Pudding@Melo@Ailyn Evensen@Snagglepuss89@tsukune

Another general update for everyone who's registered so far (including tsukune, since I trust them to finish their 'Private CS').

Snagglepuss89's tarot card's been sent now.

Cheers for replacing 'Trivia' with 'Notes', Melo. I'm aware that you only did it for the character tab, while I asked everyone to do it in both versions, but honestly it's not a big deal considering that - unlike the 'Theme Music' change, which was irrelevant to you currently but had to happen in both to speed up the loading of pages on the thread - the character tab is the place people should be looking at if they want to see our information, and the 'Notes' change was also made in the rules for everyone trying to join.

Status updates:

  • Lucifer Van Bonaparte's CS had an additional piece of information added to his 'Also Known As' category, since it took me a while to settle on this. I'm still deciding how similar the character sheets for NPCs will be in comparison to player characters, so things might still change again in general.

  • Another edit was made to the opening IC post, but it's entirely irrelevant for those who've already read the post outside of perhaps the final sentence. I was mostly including a visual description of the character because I usually do this whenever a new character is introduced in my writing and just forgot to because we've got character sheets. Figured it looked better with it there, and also allowed guests who don't read the character sheets to visualize things better. I shouldn't need to edit it again unless I find typos that my perfectionism can't ignore.

  • As stated previously, I'm still open to people asking me to be the murderer and will be until such a time as the first murder happens, but no one is obligated to do this. I just think it's better if a player who'd actually enjoy the role takes it instead of someone being forced to play it. Naturally, say nothing about whether you want the role or not in this thread and ask me strictly over PM.
