A Preview to a New Race

[Channy]

HE'S GOING TO GET THE DESSIE'S TO JOIN HIM

...that's the only option that wasn't laid out.

I really liked it.. so we have Adri, Tenny, SRogue, QoS and.... I think that's it? Waiting on them..

Oh noes! My sinister plan has been discovered!

Tho that one will involve a fair bit of character interaction....well I'll cross that bridge when i get to it.

 

[Channy]

owait.. I was right? o.O

 

[Sheva Alomar]

I can't wait for this plot to develope!!!! :3

That said...my post is on the way.

 

[Channy]

FIVE DAYS LATER.....

 

[Bex]

Yeah Adri, WHERE IS YOUR POST.

And @ Channy - just call me the Evita of RP, it's ok.

Plus due to me being LAZY and having my a new RP to work on as well as Philosophy, Eng Lang and German revision, all the Destrillians I'm drawing are just head shots.
CBA. I asked Alex to draw them though.
WHIPPED

Alright, out with it Jen, you're not REALLY 15 years old are you?

Your post was simply amazing. I loved your analogies, your visualization of the scene, descriptions and vocabulary, and most of all your dialogue (srsly, even the peons who get slaughtered have great lines!) Your character has such an extraordinary wealth of personality, and virtually the polar opposite of every other character in the RP. Your post was indeed one of the longest I've EVER seen (probably about as long as my first Relek post if not longer), but it didn't seem lengthy at all while reading it because it was so immensely entertaining and engaging. That is what I call flawless writing, very well done Jen.

...that's the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me about my writing.
Si, cherie - I turned fifteen in April. No lyin' about ages here! Personally I thought the ending was a little rushed, because I changed it last-second due to the god-modding thing as mine wasn't even endorsed. XD But I'm so glad the post was on the level you're telling me it was - that means I'm improving!

The idea behind it is quite simple. The beginning of your post is written to 'overlap' the post of the RPer whose character you intend to interact with. You quote (not with actual quote tags but rather integrated as part of your post) any actions or dialogue from that character in your own post, and then respond to it with your own actions and/or dialogue. That RPer then follows suit and quotes your response, and subsequently responds. I'm going to postpone the rules a bit more to write this tut tomorrow because it seems it'll help a few of you out. I've used the system myself in every RP I've been involved with and it works well to effectively eliminate any need to control another RPer's character and thus avoid god-modding of that sort.

...I still don't get it. I suppose I'll wait and see how it's done courtesy of demonstration.

Hey 'sup peeps I'm back and working on my first post. Now I'll have to go read what all of you have done and hope that I don't need to make too many drastic changes.

/late
Welcome back, Ten! <3

Also, I loved your post, Noen - Vargas is a very interesting villain character. Kind of has his own agenda. I like it~

Mountain from a mole hill.

It would be unforgivably rude and arrogant of me to place my views and opinions ahead of anyone else's as Director here.

@Channy : You don't need to do a thorough description tbh, I like taking artistic license, it's AWESOME.

@ Jen : I must also commend you on your writing talent, which is exceptional for someone your age. =)

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

mmkay, just read Jeno's post, and I gotta say it's much better writing than the 18-year-old guy in my other RP. It makes me want to weep tears of joy and sadness that your writing beats his.

 

[Channy]

Yeah Adri, WHERE IS YOUR POST.

I asked Alex to draw them as well, but he's also preoccupied with the other RP. ;_;

@Channy : You don't need to do a thorough description tbh, I like taking artistic license, it's AWESOME.

If you're sure. I realize there isn't a whole lot tow work with, with white hair, white eyes and pale skin.

 

[Tennyo]

Working working working on my post I'm so sorry! >_<;

 

[Channy]

It's okay, take your time. We're still waiting on others too.

 

[Tennyo]

Well I saw that a couple people posted twice already and I'm like, "Wait no stop give me a chance!" D:

And now I have to go to work. Poop...

 

[Channy]

Yeah everybody else posted at least once, and about half, twice.

 

[Meteo]

However I thought that this was going to be obvious, that according to numerical order, people would be interacting with each other. Sorry if I didn't clarify that more thoroughly, but I thought it logical that according to that route.. mexsatsuxninira, meteoxbexxadri, shadowxjenxsunshinextennyo. And such and such. *shrug* that made no sense I'm sure

Of course it was obvious that characters would be interacting with each other, that was never questioned, but there is more than one way to progress such interaction, and I wasn't sure which method you might use. It would have been infinitely helpful on your part to have given me a 'heads up' and thus avoid this misunderstanding.

This. This is actually how I really felt. I felt so undermined by being the Game mod, and you having your say in "Well I'll let it slide this time." It sounded really shallow and pedantic on your part as RP Director.

Your use of hyperbole is duly noted.

I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from such subtle antagonization. It's counterproductive to the comfortable, amiable atmosphere the rest of us are trying to maintain here.

The ending was perfect tbh, I look forward to seeing more!

...I still don't get it. I suppose I'll wait and see how it's done courtesy of demonstration.

No worries, I'll explain it better and provide detailed examples in the tut I'm working on.



Another great post Noen! Vargas is very entertaining!

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that I had to tell you anything when game modding my own RP. It didn't involve your character at all, and you should trust in the abilities of the Players to communicate with one another to discuss and organize things. It doesn't always have to be run through you. If anything, it should be run through me because it's my RP, and it was. But then again, if you don't like the way that it's going, you could always get out?

I never said I didn't like the way you were running your RP, and I never said you HAD to run everything through me. I'm simply making note that in this situation it would have helped me to know before hand how you and Satsu were going about with your character interaction to avoid any confusion. I am somewhat of a co-game mod by default of my authority, so there are certain points I believe I'm entitled to know of. It certainly is your RP and you have full authority over it, again I'm just saying it would have helped me out is all. I'd like to think we're all willing to help each other rather than simply expect things of one another. Expectations are easily disappointed.

 

[Channy]

Nah, no need to split stuff, I'm done for now as it is. Alternatively if I feel the need to continue, I'll pm you about it. So I'll just leave it at that.

 

[Meteo]

I'll leave the new thread open for a bit, if no one else cares to respond, I'll delete it.

EDIT: actually it is a valid topic of discussion, and is useful for reference so it'll stay.

Anyway, Adri is likely far too incapacitated to write.

 

[Channy]

owait, you already split it?

Does it look like I care? If anything, a drugged up state is the perfect time to write a fucked up post about fucked up people.

 

[Meteo]

True, she could pretend she's tripping on Distrum...probably end up murdering her mother.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Much to your possible dismay, I am fully capable of writing my post. All I needed was the sleep I had right after I got home for the teeth removal. Maybe, just maybe, my post will be up tonight.

Dan you liar, she's just plain lazy.

SHE'S HEADED FOR A STATE OF PURE DERINIUM.

....I've never fully explained that to you lot cause we never got that far... did I?

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Dan you liar, she's just plain lazy.

This is completely accurate.

SHE'S HEADED FOR A STATE OF PURE DERINIUM.

....I've never fully explained that to you lot cause we never got that far... did I?

What?

 

[Channy]

Derinium is a Dessie term that we never got around to using.
