new rp?

Unforeseen motor troubles are postponing this a day. Sorry, but I need my transportation to pay my bills...

Well, since City of Fakku is practically dead now, I can probably join too. This one sounds interesting enough. I think I'll go Samurai-like this thing lol

Duct tape and zip ties are only getting me so far... splicing in headphone wires into my electrical system is getting it started, for now, but I'm going to have to venture out of town for the parts I need. By 22:00US Eastern standard time I'll post the character sheet template and announce the slots. The RP will officially begin at 22:30. Barring any unforeseen difficulties I'm eager to get started.

The thread has been created and the RP can start as soon as 4 more characters are submitted. The deadline for making the first round of activity is 17:00 US Eastern Standard Time assuming that there are 5 characters submitted.

What do you mean by "rounds"? Do you mean every 5 posts?

Kinda, I mean each segment of activity, which can vary, although 5 is the ideal, it won't necessarily be 5 each time. Let me know if that doesn't make any sense...

The only reason why I'm concerned, is I know, sometimes, when the RP gets busy, I'm not able to be on and when I look back, about 5-7 posts have been done. Especially when I sleep and others are on.

that's why I'm establishing set periods of the day to post that work for all the players. I don't want to leave players behind.

That might work. The only downfall is that that time period might also happen when someone who is in a different timezones is busy during that time. I know Kei is in a different timezone, about 15 hours ahead of me.

the point of the timeframes is to provide opportunity to post within a certain timeframe (like a post per 5 hours or 6posts max per day, not necessarily those values, just examples)

Okay. That makes it a lot easier than.

I already counted you as being in... are you still in?

Yes. I have a lot, and I mean a lot, of important things to do tomorrow, and I will post when I get back from doing them.

Looking forward to having you on board.

I'm at GMT +8.00. I hope I can keep up with the RP.... I'm working so if I'm a little slow I hope you guys can put up with me.

Rise told me to come look at your game and I noticed a few problems.

Firstly....why is Boston not included? Really.
The name Boyd sounds really familiar.

Ok now to the game mechanics problems.

Killing off players is not going to work unless you have a much larger RP community here than I think you do. Character death is usually enough "punishment" as is needed. (As the goal of an RP is not to punish failure and there is no need for time wasting mechanics like in video games.) What you'll end up with is either being too afraid to kill off players even when they should be dying or you'll just be left without the people most likely to care about your game. (As typically the people who care most about a game are those playing in it, not those who aren't.)

Giving your NPCs plot armor to the point of telling your players they can't kill them is ridiculous. That's essentially telling people they can't play the characters they want. Now, you're free to have them fail if they try anyway but, you might want to strongly consider letting some or all the NPCs be killable. If you have immortal NPCs but, not immortal players it's somewhat like you're just writing a story that the players can't control. If people want to play in a story they have no control over....well that's what video games are for.

Me too, awesome.

I too... we have different time schedules...
hope I can manage to adjust a little.

GMT +6 for me.

And I think it's best if we use this thread for discussion rather than spamming the other one. I mean look at it now, I feel so much bad for it, already three pages without the RP starting AND some double posting and triple posting due to some users deleting their posts (which is not really a bad move).

Since such a thread was created for that RP, use this thread for all the other talks.

Yeah, that was mainly me deleting my posts. I would suggest that everybody else delete their OOC posts on that thread as well since it doesn't make the RP look good and that wa all the profiles will be there on after the other with out any random posts in between.

Also, I'm UCT +10
