bwahahah you shoulda seen the ones I did not add on there XD Absolutely! Though at this stage, are we all committed to the idea that they had the same prof and gathered for a drink at least? We could just play at this point, see where it leads us ^.^ If we're not all set, or someone does not want to do that, they could always just add in their own as well :) Hand surgery, it is not a huge deal but he will not be driving obviously afterward, so imma be there probably all day
glad it's nothing serious.
I am still trying to wrap my head around this group RP concept. Haven't read the beginning chapters of the last two adventures. That would probably help, huh?
I clicked on the image, but she still had no lips. I know you're busy, so I'll troubleshoot and get it worked out. :)
click try it on and you can screen grab or I'll do it later after work.
That's exactly what I did All saved and pasted into the group image. :) Have a great day!
Basically, you just post in character :) Just with a group lol. The plot and all will be mostly puzzles and things to figure out, and ha dress up contests and such like more than they will be RP, if it follows like it did the last 2 times. It is like all the groups are there, but only "one" of the groups (your own) is really there, knowdamean?
I had a couple ideas for you, o captain my captain
Can you edit our boards on SL? IF so I propose this: The first post (yours) should be all our characters and who is playing them, like a cast, with our bios, and beta names. Example:
Rampar the Mage (Searchname)
This is where the HA and the bio would come in so people can reference it easy whilst we are role playing. Note: This is not the character I am playing, just made it up for an example.
The other idea was to set the scene there. Being Captain (aren't you SO HAPPY you volunteered? muahahah) you can sort of describe what we are walking into, and why (briefly) and also enter your character. Then the rest can join in when we got the time- and if someone is just too RL busy we can help fill in for them ^.^ OH and remind people not to forget their companions if they have one. GR said they had to be entered as well.
no worries! It was easy once I remembered my snipping tool.
Yeah...feeling way out of my league right now, but I'm confident that once we get past the first bit of awkwardness I'll be fine. So we won't be interacting with the other teams?
I can modify my posts on the SL forum, or create a new topic. Since we have no posts on the group RP board I'll just modify that one. You're meaning put the character summaries there, right? I'll check on spoilers.
Everyone has a critter companion except Was that intentional, or did you forget to put that in your HA?
I do not think we will. At least, we did not before that I recall. In character that is, out of character on various out of character boards we of course interacted :) And yep! I like handy refs because I am a: lazy and b: forgetful. I am going to pretend I am not the only one so afflicted.... Don't feel out of your league, you are doing great! Organizing a bunch of people into a cohesive whole ain't easy but we'll all help out and try not to be too much of a pain lol.
Ok, gonna be working on the cast bios for a while. Also have to upload the group image somewhere.
If you want any help, give a shout :) srsly, you can delegate lol. Once we get all the intro stuff outta the way though I suspect it'll go like butter for ya
Almost done. One thing I'm concerned about in reviewing our characters: Hamda is an elf with no friends...doesn't fit the school scene. We may need to meet and/or engage his services en route.
Okey dokey, thanks! Makes sense with your character.
How fitting...your bio doesn't fit in the character limit of the SL version of spoilers. Wordy bard, you! Mind if I edit it down a bit?
EDITS: Hamda, it just struck me how ironic your status is as compared to your recent state of mind.
Going offline for a while.

Then came the traveling show. She joined to add some "sparklies" to their routines, but kept close guard over her valuable and dangerous formulae.

Background: sobs it's super elementary Generations before her birth, her ancestors had served as mages to the palace and other scholarly institutions; however war had broken out. They had fought and lost. Under a new ruler, who was wary of the use of magic, most mages were exiled. Many families who held magical power scattered into the woods bordering the state, concealing their villages with magic, where they continued to live for generations more.
Up until her childhood years, she lived her life peacefully in the woods. Her parents had built their home in a little grove not far from one of the magical villages. There, she learned to embrace nature, and formed a bond with the creatures around her.
In her teen years, she and her parents moved into the village, where she ran errands for an elderly wizard. An elf who was centuries old, he told her of his adventures in his youth, of his life as a court mage, and of the strife in the kingdom they were exiled from. Curious about the world, and inspired to uncover her ancestors' history, she left home to begin an adventure of her own.

it is I used to call trying to gety friends together herding cats.
Thanks I'll get that updated. Fine dining is absolutely a strength. Assuming you know what each of the utensils is used for. Oh, and your new miniverbosity clause is based on a definite possibility of an absolute maybe, right? hee hee
I've heard that saying before, but I always thought herding grasshoppers was more picturesque. :D
Just in case anyone was wondering, coconut shrimp, rice noodles, and horchata are not a great combination. Sugar overload!!!
Going back to the college friends thing, we could have all been at the funeral, and simply be at the crossroads saying goodbye to each other as we go our separate ways? I can be here every night, for an hour or so, from 4.30pm subeta time. Did you manage to find everyones bio they were a few pages away, I can always find mine and copy/paste it here again.
yep I found them all. Thanks though!
I could be wrong, but I think that the crossroads is where the messenger leads us. We don't have to fabricate a reason to go there. :)
I'll be on and off this afternoon/evening and probably tomorrow. Ping me if you need me.
Absolutely, I almost unequivocally can concede to consider that there is every probability in my ability to possibly contemplate paying heed to the old saying, "brevity is the soul of wit," in so much as I run out of wordy words to type at folk. :D herding cats is an ole favorite past time of mine, whenever I wish to not only indulge in something frustrating beyond all get out, but also, have my legs scratched up. gets out band aids
:o bows to your much more advanced wishy-washiness
And another benefit....grasshoppers don't have claws.
thoughts on my earlier post RE Nightshade's entry to the team? I'm also having a hard time visualizing how all of our backstories will meld into the college scenario. Revise scene/RP it out/adjust backstories/ack help I'm drowning in slashes!!!
