For all talks out of character, this is the thread to go.

FIRST!

I have updated the game to Mature, seeing how we may expect certain scenarios are going to shape up. I will also add a list of claimed series, to minimize guesswork for players interested in joining.

It was when I posted the announcement in the Wanted Players thread that I realized the Looking for Players request is off by default. That may explain why there was a lack of RTJs before last night.

That done, welcome Matsu Shoji from the Devilman world. We are also expecting another character to appear, but it would depend on how things go.

Forgot to say hi.
Hi.

Hey, how are you?

I just noticed my character's name is spelled with an extra 'n.' Gonna have to get the GM to fix that at some point.

Oh I'm good.

Yeah. But I didn't notice until you pointed it out Sooo. You should be fine.

There, the letter extraction should make you feel a bit disoriented, but no lasting damage will occur from it.

I feel better already.

I will be busy today and won't be able to get posts in. Don't wander around too far while I'm away!

Fuck, this is my day off.

I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I have overtime Wednesday and Saturday. My shifts are ten hours.

Holy shit.

I just realized something.

There's a Canon Stand named ｢BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY｣. It had the ability to summon fictional characters into the JoJo universe. One of the characters summoned was Mazinger Z from the Manga of the same name. The writer of Mazinger Z was Go Nagai. Know what else he wrote? Devilman.

Knowing this, I'm going to edit my previous post a little.

Hello, guys! Waves

Hello everyone, here's to some fun adventures :)

In reply to Virulina (msg # 14):

Welcome!

Sup, newbies!

So I checked over Akira's Gimmick, and realized it didn't really explain much on other Kamen Riders. Have changed it now and may have to put more detail into it later on.

Bit scattered today, apologies

Managed to sneak in a post. Have to go out again for now. Will see if I have the time tomorrow to continue posting.

If you have some plans, feel free to throw me a PM about character development.

Cheers, Narrator.

I think we have already established which world to visit :)



Did we want to wait for more Lost people to show up?  If so, you could bump the wanted ad.   Otherwise 4 of us (5 with Akira) sounds like enough to tackle an adventure.

If we're going to the JoJo-verse now, I need to get a list of possible enemies to the GM.
This message was lightly edited by the player at 17:24, Sat 11 Nov 2017.

Should I explain my world or should I wait for us to get to the Jo-world?

Explain your world. You haven't gotten a chance to post in a long while.

/seconded :)

I apologize for the distinct lack of post over the weekend. I had familial duties to attend during that time and the internet decided to kick the bucket at a bad time.

On the flip side, a world has been decided! All we need now is to wrap up here and maybe set some things up when everyone gets back from their first adventure!

>:3c

Oh, don't worry. I'm not having any devious thoughts at the moment.

No problem.

I'm (naturally) eager to get started on an adventure, now that the characters have grasped the basics of 'go to world X, figure out & deal with the distortion, collect reward (j/k).

Devious thoughts like... DIO being the good guy? ehehe!

https://youtu.be/-RmM5VUPkjc

Imagine all of them doing their transformations at the same time, that would be close enough to how Akira transforms.

:3c

Also a brief trip through time across all Kamen Riders (or most of them).

Please welcome Kumo to the game. Feel free to make your unceremonious entry in the Nexus thread when you are ready, Kumo.

;)

Welcome Kumo :)

Welcome kumo. Also sorry for not posting. I'll post today in a bit.

Hi! I'll be posting something later today, after i get a general idea of what's going on. Hope Kumo fits in :P

I'll be away at work for the rest of the night, will check back later!

Welcome Thana aboard the game. She probably gets the name that takes a mouthful to pronounce award at this point.

:)

Hello Thana :)

Welcome Thanacheir Ashuancourux. That is indeed a mouthfull

Well, given that i RP'd someone named Ix'Chimalxochitzin a few times (and have yet to typo it) i'd say that depends on personal perspective :P

Thanks for the welcome all, i'll try to get a description up later ^^

My provider dun messed up, so i won't have Internet between the 18th of this month and the 4th of December.

Internet at home has been out for four days straight, so I have to resort to access when in the office until that is fixed.

Ouch.  Good luck with everything Thana & thanks for the heads up.  Maybe you can catch up with us later.



Double ouch.

I don't know what's happening with internet providers world wide. I have 2 other friends from different countries that are also having trouble with their connection. That sucks.

Well, it's not connection related or anything. I'm moving to a new apartment this week so a few weeks ago i gave my provider notice in order to switch my sub to the new address. Thing is, they neglected to tell me that the confirmation mail contained a link that i needed to click to make it official, so the request ended up timed out, hence the delay.

I've been with them since 2002 and they're a good provider overall, connection's stable and fast so no complaints there, they just tend to mess up when you move addresses. But that's not exactly an everyday occurrence so...

Now we got both Persona users and Stand users in the same RP.

I feel a rivalry coming on.

A question about Stands.

There are statistics and ratings (A-E), I assume A is the best and E is the least?  Also how does Range & Potential work?  The other statistics seem self explanatory.
This message was last edited by the player at 08:01, Fri 17 Nov 2017.

It is very likely that I won't have internet connection all the way into the weekends. I can check on my phone and address questions, but I won't make posts because it's just hard to do so on the phone.

Here's to hoping the ISP rights itself over the weekend.

In reply to Virulina (msg # 43):

From the wiki, this is what i gathered:

Range: Measures a compromise of the Stand's range of manifestation, range of ability influence, and spatial mobility.

Potential: Measures the Stand's possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities. It decreases in rank as the user masters their Stand. For example, Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum is Rank A in Developmental Potential during Stardust Crusaders, but is given Rank C during Stone Ocean, as Jotaro has had many years to hone Star Platinum's power. However, Rank C implies that all of Star Platinum's possible abilities and functions still had not been discovered or figured out by that time. For a Stand to gain an E-Ranking, it means that either their Stand user discovered all of their Stand's abilities, or the Stand came with very few abilities and thus cannot grow any more than it has.

That helps Kumo, ty :)

away at work for most of the day/night, I hope those internet troubles for other people get solved :)

S-H-I-T. Everyone seems to go away when I have free time to post.

Hope all of you get interwebz back soon.

Connection is back up. Not stable, but better than no connection at all.

Welcome aboard a pair of Captains from different worlds - Harlock and Marvelous.

Captain Harlock is, of course, Captain Harlock, but would Captain Marvelous be from Persona?

He's actually from Gokaiger, the 35th Super Sentai team.

Doing best what a space pirate can do too.

Hi everyone!

Looking forward to gaming with you all!

welcome to both Captains :)

Let's wait for Kumo and Cloud before continuing.

Replied, sorry for the wait

It's fine. Thanks for coming back.

Hey everyone, glad to be on board with you all.

Harlock and Marvelous, you can start posting at the Nexus when you're ready.

If Cloud doesn't post tonight, I'm making my next post.

My dad went to the hospital this morning because he woke up with chest pains. It's possible I'm not gonna be posting for a bit, but I'll keep you updated on what's going on with him.

Ouch.  Best wishes for your Dad, Randolph.

For myself, I'm expecting a busy day tomorrow.

Hope your dad is fine!

Take care, Randolph. Hope your father will be all right.

I found out that my dad's doing fine. They took him home from the hospital while I was at work. The doctor told him to see a specialist, but we know he'll be okay. Still, I was worried.

That's good to hear. Make sure to check out why he's having those chest pains.

Great! Glad to hear he's OK!

Any news from Cloud? It has been about 10 days since he last posted

I'm going to post regardless of whether or not he shows up. Tonight is my next post.

So firstly, hello!~

Secondly, I've been reading up to date but struggling a little to work out where to come in to things / how?

Welcome, friend! Glad you could join us!

New people who haven't arrived in the current universe yet tend to post in the Nexus.

Edit: For those battling, or about to battle Stands, remember! Even if a Stand seems invincible, there's a limit to what they can do. It's not always clear what that limit is, but if you look hard enough, you can find it and exploit it.

So I got attacked first. And by THAT GUY, no less. This might be a pain... :P

(Spoilers sorry)
This message was last edited by the player at 20:39, Thu 23 Nov 2017.

You want, I can continue the encounter? Or do you want everyone to get a chance to react to their respective encounters?

In reply to Dio's Forces (msg # 73):

Nah. I'm fine with continuing. Bring it.

It might take a while for everyone to answer. so I think it's best to do this now.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:12, Thu 23 Nov 2017.

Well... At least Akira has his motorcycle...

Hello Katone :)

Holy shit, Devilman's Soundtrack is awesome.

Yeah it is!

Going into work early. See you guys at lunch.

I still find it hard to believe that Misato Fukuen is Iggy's voice actor.

https://youtu.be/EnvXXS63cNQ

But then again, she's quite talented at this.

https://youtu.be/kBgocCKMcx8

First came to know about her from Smile! Precure as Cure Happy, then found out she is also Harp Note for Ryuusei no Rockman (Megaman Starforce).

Damn, I don't have time to post right now. I'll post when I get home.

Sorry for the wait. I hope I'm making things enjoyable for everyone.

So far, so good.  I'm away at work for the next few hours.

Just a heads up that I'm still interested, just not (yet) in a position to post.

Only have access by phone and work WiFi atm and I don't want to write a post over lunch breaks spread out over the week -- I'd rather do it right in one go, and since I haven't actually intro'd yet it's easier for consistency ^^

Sorry about the long wait, finally got around to posting.

Aw man! Looks like this fight is a "BOY II MAN" fight... Eh? Eh? :D

He doesn't have a hole in his cheek.

.....................Who else is there?

[11 blank lines suppressed]

Oh wait.... But that's not very fair... o_o
This message was last edited by the player at 22:07, Mon 27 Nov 2017.

Screw it, I'm gonna post for the both of you, now. Maybe you'll learn who you're fighting, that way.

In reply to Randolph Von Stroheim (msg # 89):

Oh I Know who I'm fighting... kinda scared considering Matsu's state.

Then I hope my post leaves no doubt.

I'm trying my best to make sure everyone's enjoying their battle. Let me know where I can improve.

In reply to Randolph Von Stroheim (msg # 92):

You're doing great so far!

I apologise I've not really been able to post, I've had a really busy time the last week

kinda quiet the past few days...

I'd put it down to the December rush.

probably.

I'd say JJBA is an interesting experience where you can be goofy and cut loose to some degree.

:3c

In reply to Narrator (msg # 98):

Indeed. I'm a huge jojo fan so this is very refreshing for me.

Sorry people I caught a bad flu and got a little loopy for awhile, hopefully nothing of the sorts happens again any time soon.

Well, looks like my new modem's working.

Right then, i'll be intro'ing myself in the next few days if now's a convenient time to -- haven't yet checked out the RP thread at the time of writing :)

Welcome back :)

Thanks ^^

Ehh.... Need to go to work, so i'll post when i'm home i guess :)

Nice work on the cast description, Thanacheir... it's very informative.

Thanks, though Narrator did most of the work. I just provided the info :)

I like seeing the character description looking organized.

:3c

Sorry, guys. My internet went out for a few days, but I'm back.

Now i want to win this fight, only to say "It seems the SUPERFLY was caught in the SPIDER WEB"

HA!

Funny.

I love puns, so please make it happen :)

WB Randolph (and anyone else who stepped out for a bit)

I have a feeling those puns will be contagious sooner or later.

:3c

You will soon see, beneath the SURFACE, the ANIMAL I'VE BECOME.... PUN

Randolph: I think it's your turn in the V&V thread.

Is anyone oppose to me continuing on my side?

I believe we are waiting for Randolph to progress the story.

Alright. Hope he's doing fine...

It looks like he's logging in, so he's probably all right but lacked the time to work out a decent post. I suppose I have to ask him if he wanted to delegate some of the work to me to get things rolling even if he were not around.

:P

In reply to Narrator (msg # 117):

I'm really confused. Is Randolph another GM of sorts? There is a "Dio's forces" post that has Randolph acting and talking on it.

It's something I wanted to test out - you get to post for your respective villains since you are more likely to know them than I do. Randolph and I had a discussion before we started to iron out how the first arc will pan out, but his sudden lack of posts would raise a legitimate concern.

GM, I think you should give Randolph an ultimatum at this point. It's been almost 2 weeks, and he has been logging into Rpol

Sent him an rMail. If he couldn't reply in two days latest I'll be taking charge of the story.

... so brace yourselves!

Nice work there, Matsu. :3c

So I just realised, IC how weird is it going to be when Kotone summons any of her Persona. Because she effectively puts a very realistic looking gun to her temple and pulls the trigger.

And somehow i totally replied in the wrong thread :/

----------

Knowing what i know about the details of Thanacheir's powers, i'm not entirely sure how she'd react to that.

Should be fun :D

What does everyone think of skipping forward to the next meet up? That should get everyone together and refresh the pacing for the next step.

Edit:
Since we didn't get any word from Cloud afterwards, I will be putting him on the delete list. Randolph will be moved to NPC status until we finish the first arc.
This message was last edited by the GM at 06:52, Tue 19 Dec 2017.

I'm OK for skipping to the next meet up... although tomorrow I'll be mostly absent.  Work, a movie, a sports game = BIG DAY :)

Im alright with that

I'm ok with it too.

I wouldn't call it the best solution, but with Randolph's sudden absence I will be using him as an NPC for the time being until we finish this arc.

That said, everyone is welcome to propose ideas to me regarding their respective worlds. There are particular series that I have not really followed and only resort to wikis in order to figure out the plot.

:3c

Its short, sweet, & serviceable :)

A work shift cropped up unexpectedly.  Hopefully I can post later on.

Fixed the cast description thing I completely forgot

Cheers Kotone, it looks great :)

Heh, i had a Final Fantasy RP character that used Tarot as her Limit Break too.

She was a Dancer though, and most of her special attacks were dance related.

Disco Inferno (the Trammps) -- AoE Fire damage
Born to be Alive (Patrick Hernandez) -- Resurrection on random defeated party member (or enemy)
Stayin' Alive (the BeeGees) -- Party-wide Heal
Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley) -- Protect and Shell on a random party member

That sort of thing... It was fun. Especially since the actual card pulled would be RNG'd, and there were detrimental effects as well.

Merry Xmas all :)

You too. Merry Christmas, everyone!

A Viking Christmas Carol

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
And I in my armor, my greaves and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
While four quarts of mead were ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came the sounds of a brawl
So I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep!"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers, wielding mallet and spear.

I said to myself, "We'll soon have them beat!"
Then I noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt into the fray...
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to the side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
Then came a lone frightened voice from the floor,
"Those are no mortal warriors -- that's Odin and Thor!"

Then they looked at each other and they said, "Battle's done.
Now they know who we are, it no longer is fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer, and his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Not really sure that I'd seen them before.
The snow bathed in starlight, the moon like a glede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.

And I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,

"TO HELA WITH CHRISTMAS, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Oh wow.

Totally coincidental, but i have to share this.

So Thanacheir's last name was basically something random that 'felt' right, for lack of a better word. It was something i came up with when i closed my eyes, hit the keyboard a few times and straightened out into something that looked pronounceable.

So i looked into what it means now:

Thanacheir: That's actually from a Draconic translator:

Thana (Greek) - Death (Feminine form of Thanatos actually)
Cheir (Greek) - Hand

Ashuancourux: The randomly generated part of her name:

Ashua (Sanskrit) - Horse, Strong, Swift
Courrux (French) - Anger, Ire, Wrath

So her name would translate to "Death's Hand, Horse of Wrath" which actually fits her INCREDIBLY well.

That feeling when you were just randomly making names and find out they meant something.

:3c

Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!

Yep, sure am ^^

Got a celebratory dinner with a group of people where i live today, and after that it's preparing to head over to my folks for the traditional yearly staying over until New Year ^^

I ate too much for Christmas and i wanna die. But other than that, im great

Heh, had three dinners in the past week here :P

My advice, salted dry crackers help neutralize the fat if you've eaten a lot of high-fat food, and if i, having ice cream for dessert generally tends to help me feel less full stuffed afterwards.

That's not consistent with any diet that i know of btw, just personal experience.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:34, Tue 26 Dec 2017.

How has the holidays are treating everyone? Hope the hangovers aren't heavy.

:3c

Narrator: 2018 is shaping up to be decent, thanks for asking :)  I hope that applies to everyone too.

Started it off with the Flu...

Stay healthy, everyone! We're officially into the second episode of the game!

Remember to keep warm especially if you live in an area with colder climates - it's easy to get sick with the flu going on all over the place.

So is there going to be a Chapter 2a thread for the ones going after Kira? It'd be better since the two missions are pretty different from one another.

I'll work on that thread soon enough then. Quite a valid point to keep things from getting mixed up.

Sooo... Anybody watch Devilman crybaby recently?

I haven't yet, but I have to add that to my watch list.

Is everyone still alive? There's a noticeable silence lately online, did people lose their net or did something else happen?

Sorry for the inactivity. I check Rpol every single day, but i simply didn't know what to write. I went and wrote something to try to move things

Feel free to let me know if it feels like my post doesn't have enough to work with.

Just a busy week... plus my post was the last before your update :)

I've been backed up lately... I'm back now. Is Randolph still quiet?

Sadly life hasn't been treating him well and he requested to withdraw from the game. So I will be holding on to the character until we wrap up the JJBA arc and move on to the next.

Oh. Well that's very unfortunate...

I blame Randolph for this need to look up clips on JJBA. Now I have an itch I need to scratch in the form of having to watch the series, and I still have a lot to watch.

Also, I'm starting to like Rohan. He's an interesting guy.

I also still can't get over the fact of who Iggy's voice actor is.

:3c

I'm sorry if I was holding anything up, personal life got suddenly harder

I actually did lose my Net for a couple of weeks. Back now though.

Hey guys. Just wanted to let you guys know that i set up a Devilman themed game if anyone is interested, considering how it might take a while to get to the Devilman arc here, i thought i'd just make a whole fresh one.

link to another game

Hoping to post later on when I get some time and ideas.

Question:  How long will the Mangaka group stay in their thread?  We've got the answers we are looking for, mostly.  There's a few more things to ask but we'd be 90% done :)

Given how fast the Mangaka side would finish up, it could be possible for them to catch up with the Encounter side to keep things going. I have a feeling some players on the Encounter side have RL issues needed to be addressed and cannot post.

Possibly. Only the Captains still need to post for this combat round i believe.

Posted - work sucks...

RL matters definitely have priority when it demands out attention. Just got back from a busy time myself.

That said, how many of us are still around? Randolph has approached me with an intent to come back to the game, so I'm waiting a bit for his reply on that.

I'm still around :)

Not really connected with the game, but im here

Still here and keen :)

Sorry, everyone. Life's been a series of twists and turns. I hope it remains stable enough for me to return.

Eh, it happens. Welcome back :)

Hey man. Welcome back.

Hey guys,I'm Luis and will be playing Lelouch. New and excited to join the story. This is my RP first online and I have a few questions.
when Do you guys usually go live to start the "session"?
Are there anything you guys feel that I should know before we start?

ohno, not Lelouch! Welcome Luis. There isn't really a starting or closing time, everyone posts at their own pace. Lately the pace is super slow, but since some old players are coming back and you are coming in, then maybe it'll speed up. And the party works pretty much because there is a common objective, so as long as you focus on that things should go smoothly.

Cool, hopefully I can keep up with you guys since I'm doing this over the phone. Also I hope those of us with life issues can sort themselves out and that it turns out well.

The pace definitely would change from time to time. Lately my weekends are busy, so do not expect me to get up a lot of posts during that time. There is also the matter of certain players who have gone inactive, so we're skipping over their turns.

I'm still here.

Welcome aboard Luis :)

Since this is your first RP, here's a few buttons you might find handy for Rpol.

There are some blue buttons on the top of the screen.  If you go character details then Edit, you'll be able to put info in your cast description that other people will be able to see.  The scratchpad is great for leaving notes, urls, or copying/pasting game info into.  The Cast will show you a list of the players and NPCs, you can click on their names to see their cast descriptions.

If you need help in other features (using colored txt, quotes, posting pictures, etc)... just ask.

TY coralina, btw would I be joining the mangaka side or the scenario side? Still confused on that.

I think I found what side I would join, Did I do it right? ^.^,

It's good enough. Take note that it is possible to edit your post if you realized that you missed something out. This keeps you from making additional posts since you can simply add what you want to the post you just made.

If you look at the thread, you will find the options Quote, Reply, Edit, and Delete on the upper right corner of your posts. You'd want to copy what you put in your last post, Edit the post above the last post of yours to include what you want to add. Once you're done, you can go back and Delete the last post you made to clean things up.

So, I've been out for a bit. Can someone give me the cliffnotes of what's going on?

You, Virulina, Matsu, and Kumo are presently with Rohan. On the same thread, Lelouch will end up meeting up with someone who knows a lot of the place (you know who).

The encounter side is dealing with Red Hot Chili Pepper.

It's safe to assume that Captain Marvelous isn't around to post.

Apologies all.

RL + Work rears its ugly head. Ive looked in on the game via smartphone but finally got to my laptop to post. Welcome to Lelouch Vi Brittania III by the way!

I apologise too, I actually lost the game for a while some how and it only just appeared back in my games list tonight

How is everyone faring? Should I proceed with GM posts soon or wait for others to post?

Already posted for the Encounter side in this round, just Kotone and Marvelous to go i believe, and Marvelous has been absent for a while now.

I don't have anything to add to the mangaka side. Rohan should adress the others

X2 :)

Okay, it looks like Randolph has not posted despite saying he has returned. The game has woefully stalled really hard due to waiting on various players and Kumo has requested to leave the game.

First thing I want to ask - who are still around in the game?

Second - would you prefer we reboot or try to finish up the current arc?

Third - I am considering a different approach to the game. Characters start with their respective introductory arcs, one-on-one with the GM. Only when this part is cleared will they get to meet other characters on an adventure. Yes/No?

I already asked to be removed from the game, but since i'm apparently still around, i might aswell give my take on that: the new idea seems like a much better approach. It allows you to filter active/inactive players, and getting a sense of what the players want before they tackle the game full on and start interacting with each other.

personally i think a reboot might be better, but it's up to you guys.

third idea sounds cool too.

Sorry - RL again...Entering the busy time at my job.

I'm open for a reboot but will go with the majority if more ppl vote another way.

I forgot to do this amidst my own RL matters, sorry for the inconvenience Kumo.

Also thanks for your input.

I’d vote for a reboot too.

I like the idea about the one on one.

Perhaps having the PCs go to a neutral ‘broken’ world as the first ‘group activity’ would be best?

Okay, so to check on things we have Matsu, Virulina, and Harlock clearly still around. I doubt Captain Marvelous will still be around and doesn't look like Randolph will get back to the game even if he said he will.

So here's what we will do for the reboot - I'll be taking out inactive characters and then start individual threads so everyone knows the extent of distortion in their respective worlds before they are forced to leave. A brief time in the Nexus to gather everyone together before heading off into the NPC world for the first mission would help get some team dynamic going.

I want to see some hands before I start kicking people out. I will be raising the wanted players thread again soon.

Hand raised!

I raise my hand.

*Raises hand* still present.

Still here, but still on vacation this week :)

So out of 7 players we still have 4 remaining. It's a good number to start with.

Better start cleaning the place up then.

Edit: For those who were not able to reply but still want to join when I removed you from the game, hit me up a PM so I can add you back in.

Hello, friends. I hail from the world of spirit-laser-throwing monkey-people.

Expect much yelling and glowing auras, followed by massive beams of death.

Not tryin' to put you off, I'm... just Saiyan.

Heh. I get it.

I heard you like distortions. Is everyone starting enjoying theirs?

:3c

In reply to Narrator (msg # 205):

I'm interested. Good job!

Welcome Challah



I'm intrigued with mine :)

I'm not sure if Matsu would have caught on by now on who's messing around his world. I'm not telling yet, though~

|3c

Aw man. >:I

Well, the good thing of starting with this solo RP segment, is we can see everyone's posting rate. Should help us figure how to group people accordingly.

In case people were wondering, the Demon Alien Challah is fighting indeed has a language. I'm not telling you where to find that language yet.

;3c

How is everyone doing? The ooc seems quiet, but at least the story threads are active. Are there any thoughts on how things are progressing so far?

I'm good. I'm in it. I figure my prologue might be over pretty soon, though.

Also, I put up my Description like you asked. Sorry I didn't do it sooner. ^^;

I've never been much of an OOC chatterbox :)

IC things are good however, ty.

Matsu, are you still with us? I sent you a note in PM.

Most people would be nearing the end of their prologues too.

sorry. I had some stuff to take care of. Took me a bit to get back online.

No worries. I should also apologize for my absence over the weekends - it's more time for the family and makes it hard to sit down and make posts.

How was the father's day weekend treating everyone?

;)

Pretty good. Plenty of opportunity for dad jokes.

'Cuz what's Father's Day without dad jokes? Might as well just call it... Day.

whew, survived a busy week of stocktaking.  I'm back now.

Weekend has been busy for me today, I will try to post within these 2 days.

I'm a bit behind in posting (busy week), will try to do so in next 1-2 days :)

Sorry for the delays in posts. Figuring out how to get Virulina's and Thanacheir's prologue episodes done so we can proceed.

So, I hope Virulina doesn't mind this merry chase suddenly go into some horror-ish form. Figured this is the fastest way to get things going.

:P

Don't mind at all :)

Looking forward to joining up with the other players soon.

Sorry I haven't replied yet. We've been moving house, and I had work stuff and writer's block, and then I christened my new bedroom by dumping soda all over it, and my mouse and keyboard, so...

Good times.

Oh-my-god!

Who would've thought renovating an 8×8 room would be sooo much work! And there wasn't even an Orc in it!!

That's why I've been incommunicado for a bit - will post soon now that the worst is behind me as far as the renovations are concerned.

Well, provided Altair doesn't mess up his next reply i'll be one post away from lending my assistance and joining the team.

Ah carp... I knew I forgot something. :p

I'll try to make a post within the week. I have a business trip happening tomorrow and won't be back until Friday. I apologize for the delays.

No probs, figured something got overlooked (hell, i do that often enough myself!) so i decided to give a little nudge in the OOC :P

Have a safe trip!

Sorry if the game got slow. Adjusting to changes in my schedule and figuring out how to get things moving.

That said, any word if Challah is still around?

I haven't heard anything from her.

Yeah, I'm here. Sorry, but I felt bad leaving everyone else in the dust.

Dinner is best with lots of friends, after all, right?

It's fine. Don't worry bout it.

Quick notice, i'm still around, the reason i'm not posting ICly is that i'm waiting for IC events to play out.

In other words, carry on. I'll be back ;)

Despite IRL busyness, I'l still around... just FYI.

Eh, don't worry.

As for me, my absence is fully IC, so i'm just leaning back and enjoying my time on the beach.

I apologize for the long absence. Things have been busy and then out of the country vacation with family happened. Then there was the urge to consider if I should still continue the game or move it to another forum where I frequent more.

I'm still around. Still looking forward to throwing lasers from my hands. =3

Sooo.....


...I'm guessing the enemy won? ^^;

More like my inspiration for the game decided to say it needed a long leave. I need to figure out how I should handle this. Splitting everyone up was more effort than I thought it to be.

Apologies for the stop.

I'm still willing to go if you guys are.

Also I feel sort of responsible for hitting the brakes so hard on the meet up thread.

Still up for continuing as well, though understandably being inside a dagger right now i can't exactly start posting ^^;

Its all good...Take your time in figuring it out, almighty Narrator!

Still here too :)

In truth, both Virulina's and Harlock's thread are just about done. I'll work something out and inject life back into the game by next week.

bumpity :)

giggity :)

Apparently I haven't been paying attention to this game for some time. How many are still keeping an eye on the game?

From the cast list, maybe 3.

Happy to go with a continuation or reboot, if that’s on the table.

We can fast forward a bit to a collected party prior to the group's first mission. We can add more characters as players join.

As a reminder, you still have a magical dagger from Vi that will place my spirit into the first thing you kill with it... which would determine the majority of my powers.

So choose wisely ;)

That's part of the thinking part I am working on too.

:P

I couldn't see a 3C variant of the Nexus thread, so I used the old one :)

That would be just right. Until we can determine that Matsu and Challah are still around we'll work with assuming they're somewhere.

*Peers around* Mmmm... Nope, no signs of any Challah around here. She's close, though. I can smell it.

Smells like someone haven't taken a bath for weeks?

Will try and post tomorrow, got a bit sidetracked with RL stuff.

No probs, i know the feeling :)

Still around, just slow since second child is already born.

That said, do you think we need more players in the group? So far I can confirm Virulina, Thana, and Harlock as active. I remember Challah being around but haven't seen her post yet (feel free to interact with Virulina if you can).

Hmm... I'd wait until we've settled into a speed we're all comfortable with, and have the group together. Once we've got a stable posting rate we can start thinking about bringing in more players, which might also be one of the tasks for the PCs to tackle: Two birds with one stone.

agreed, good advice :)

That works. So far we've managed to get Captain Harlock to the Nexus too!

That aside, the new rpol interface will take some getting used to.

I would like to apologize to everyone for waiting a good deal for a reply. My attention has not been as great lately with RL having demands for my time.

... Also lots of games that attract a lot of attention too. :P

I decided to change the RTJ requirements a bit - specifically I won't allow any new characters from original worlds. They have to be based from an existing setting.

I made up my mind because of some RTJs that came by a few months back that weren't polished enough, and needed too much work on my end to meet my expectations. I am willing to help players polish up their characters, but there has to be effort on the player's end too.

Hmm... I was in a game similar to this a long time ago, and if memory serves whatever world we happened to be in was the one we would be open to RTJs for for as long as it took us to restore it.

Found it a nice touch, myself, and it keeps Void from being the game's Uber.

Sounds fair.  Part of the allure of these game types is to play a favourite cannon PC.... there’s plenty of other games that cater to original characters :)

Merry Xmas!

Will post IC later on today when it’s less hectic.

A merry Christmas to you all. It's funny how holidays are busier compared to regular days if you think about it.

:P

And Merry Christmas to you all as well ^^

And a happy new year to all!

Strangely, vacation wasn't really as restful as I thought it to be these days. Might be a thing once reaching parenthood. <__<)

In reply to Narrator (msg # 269):

It's the anticipation ruining the actual experience, trust me :P

I'm enjoying the January lull, myself.  Retail is pretty busy in December.

Yeah, in terms of customers January is pretty low since people generally have run out of money the month before. Back when i worked retail we'd close for two weeks or so for a yearly full inventory count. Automated systems are nice, but they suck at keeping track what was stolen and over time that 'ghost inventory' can add up if left unchecked.

I apologize if it took me ages to get a post out again. It was hard to collect myself to post until now.

Don't worry.

Still here, locked in a dagger, doing daggery things :P

Still around too.

all good

hey peoples new pirate in the game

Welcome!

Bodacious Space Pirates sounds like an interesting series (never seen it).

And a new post is up - Varin can start posting now!

I'll let players post freely a bit before continuing on the next bit, hopefully get Thanacheir some action soon enough as well.

Happy Easter (or equivalent).

Feel free to continue conversation. No need for a GM post just yet.

;)

Yep, same here. Not my time yet, don't worry :)

I apologize for the long time it took to post. Circumstances haven't really been nice lately.

No probs.

Still here, still a dagger :P

Thanachier probably has the most to look forward to with the most recent post.

:3c

Give me a target and I’ll set her free :)

Well, according to the deal i'd have access to the memories and abilities of whoever gets stabbed, with essentially their soul being swapped with mine.

Boss villain? Ally? Powerless random citizen? Yourself? That's up to you -- just keep in mind that the stronger the one you end up stabbing is, the more useful i'd be as an ally later on. Short term vs. long term ;)

what about shot?

I... don't quite get that question?

would someone getting shot have the same effect as someone getting stabbed for your character

Well, the dagger's doubling as a homing beacon of sorts for her to lock onto and act as a medium, so it has to be with the dagger. You can stab, you can throw, if you have a way to shoot a dagger you can do that too.

It SHOULD* technically be a one-hit kill due to its nature.

* Disclaimers may apply -- Some foes may or may not be immune for story purposes.

Please welcome our new player, Tristram Tristroff. He somehow took a wrong turn somewhere and will soon join the company of mismatched accidental saviors.

:)

And welcome to the game, Tristram! ^^

(Diablo reference, btw?)

hello Tristram!

SA-LU-TATIONS! I will be your new teammate, Tristram Tiraff! I will be representing the Manga/Anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! I'm glad i could make it!
P.S. No it's not a Diablo reference, He's named after the Arthurian Star-Crossed knight, Sir Tristram.

Also, I was wondering who was representing which series. I can see we have ones like Devilman and Xenoverse, so i'm pretty excited.

Well, if mine's based on anything, it'd be my Exalted character.

Love her, but she kind of had a reputation on her first forum that every thread she'd post in would die within a week. The ability to destroy whatever she touches is rather fitting in that regard.

my current character is based on bodacious space pirates anime

<< Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light.

And mine is based on the "Arcadia of My Youth" anime, "Endless Road SSX" anime series & the "Captain Harlock: Space Pirate" Comic by Eternity Comics in the 90s

There have been MANY incarnations of Harlock but this one is my favorite & the one i most enjoy!

Hey, guys, I probably should have made it more clear, but Tris is from Chicago, not Morioh. Sorry for the confusion, narrator.

The mistake is mine as well.

*goes fix that*

I'll just put this here:

Just to clarify in case anyone's waiting on me to make an appearance: Just waiting on the GM post to confirm the dagger did indeed hit and i'll be ready to post ;)

I'll wait for Varin and Tristram and we'll proceed to it.

:D

In reply to Narrator (msg # 305):

Tristram posted already, and Varin just did.

Is this a case of blink and you'll miss it?

I feel it is. :P

How is everyone doing? Just wondering if anyone is still around here because only Thana's post showed up and I haven't seen anyone else post.

Well i'm still around, as you've already correctly guessed :P

I'm here, I was just waiting for either virulina or harlock to post first

Ill post something today!

Hopefully everyone is doing well?

Still toughing it out where I am, the pandemic isn't really well handled here so staying home to avoid infection.

never really went out much before pandemic so no real problems here, though I am currently working on a 5ft long Iowa class battleship (like the Missouri and Wisconsin) model that I can turn into an RC.

eh, not like i had a social life to begin with, so the pandemic makes little to no difference for me XD

Pandemic isn’t so bad in Aus.  Could grumble about small inconveniences, but we’re so lucky compared to other places.

Good to hear most are doing well.
