All posted up, then! I put this one in quotes so the main thread still looks nice. :3 I have arrived on-scene or at least in-game! Yaaay! :P

Might be a lil while before I can post again... My laptop has had a lil' hiccup and I'm unsure how long it will be before I can get it fixed "/

just wanted to let everyone know, I've come down with a pretty bad bug and while I am recovering my posts may not be as frequent for the next 2 days or so.

That is understandable, Bippy, please take however much time you need to rest up and get better. There's a bad bug going around here, and it'll kick your butt for at least a week, by the way it's going. So I really hope you don't have that. ^-^

Yuu, I just noticed you've made several posts in other threads since the last time you posted here, and more than one fair sized roleplaying post in another game. When you said your laptop was having problems, I assumed you would not be getting on or making posts. Since that is not the case, you need to be keeping with the post requirement here. If you can make several posts in the other game, then you can make at least one every three days in this one. Your last deadline (October 16th) will be excused, but from now on you need to be sure to make post requirement. Your next deadline is the 19th at 12:53 AM Central Time.

Also, I just realized I never found out why you only had a four in Reality. I went back and was about to quote your profile to put on the first page when I noticed you add it in there. And although there is nothing wrong with your explanation; it doesn't warrant a four. Like I said with Bippy, your current status of belief would be more around a six, or maybe even a seven, unless you really think you can play your character in accordance to that Reality setting. That would mean if your character saw someone jump off a forty story building and survive, they would not even blink an eye. It would mean your character believes steadfastly that the impossible can be done, that the rules of Reality can be bent or even broken. This is a very hard thing to play properly, so I want you to carefully consider it before your agree or disagree to stay at four. Otherwise, I will be changing it to a six.

Announcement: I feel that we have reached a good number of players for the game as it currently stands, therefore, I am closing applications. If any positions open up, or if I feel we need more players, I will reopen applications.

One last amendment: I have posted to Creed and Audra. Ramunas and Morgan, we will be working you two into the game more in a little bit. Things are being set up.

I lied:

*Wrapped up in a blanket with a pint of rocky road ice cream and some sappy chick flicks in the background, a Kierys warbles out a song*

"Aaaaaall byyyyy myyyyseeeeeeeeeeeelf....don't wanna be....aaaall byyyy myyyyyyyyseeeelf, aaaanymoooooore!"

{{{ Joins her on the couch, without the bad singing of depressing songs }}}

So then, I am still enjoying everyones posts!
I do mourn Firemares leaving and hope that the same does not happen with anyone else. I know it can be tough keeping up and following rules, but this game will be well worth it.

On another note, I apologize. Ive been reading over some of my posts and noticing some spelinhg arrors. Sorry, Ill try to fix those, along with my' pun,ctuai:on mis!ak]es?

But overall Yes, I love it!!!

Pweese cuddles wif us on da cow-ch

Couch cuddles? I've had nothing to really say--I posted and that took into account everything you said, so I've been staying quiet. But it's not cause you're alone. It's cause I'm quiet. ^^;

Couch cuddles are the best kind.

Yeah, everyone is really quiet. It actually makes it really hard to make announcements because I have to edit my posts, since nobody posts after me for...forever.....in this thread. Really need more activity in here.

I'm back, I'm alive! (sort of) Sorry for the radio silence the past few days but I have returned!

Welcome back Bippy! Are you feeling better? I hope so. Join us for couch cuddles? :3

Well, I can always chatter a bit. *pokes signature* See what I'm working towards? (Or does that count as begging? o.O I don't expect any help, I'm just proud that I'm so close.) So a bit of a chat would help me get closer most definitely. :3

Yup! So chatter away dear, I'm sure everyone has plenty to say. For instance, there's a Halloween party coming up that I'm going to, and I'm very excited for it! I wish I could go out and buy an actual costume, but I guess I'm going with whatever I can put together in my closet. Luckily for me, I have some stuff to work with.

Eh heh, I don't go to parties and suchlike any more. I'm all but married to my job (which is sad considering I'm a minimum wage counter monkey). Every time so far that I've made plans, I've gotten a phonecall asking me to come in early. I've even been out of town and had my mobile ring, and they've had the nerve to go "Well how soon can you be back in town?" But I need the money that extra shifts bring, so....eh.

Yeah, this isnt some normal party heehee, im throwing it w my bestie Dua!!!
And Kierys bought a costume, but it doesnt fit in one certain spot . . .

DIRTYPILLOWS

So yeah. Umm . . . I dont want you to be, but . . . Jer - my character is a predator - and what happens if youre the prey? I mean, I wont intentionally make you my prey, but . . . its very possible that you may become it. Now i refuse to use Player Knowledge to prevent this, but I dont want you to use PK to get out from it either. See what I am getting at?

Im sorry if i kill your character

:(

Also, I was wondering bout part of your post:

"Then again, it also meant that once he had circumvented her nerves, she would be easy 'prey' if he was indeed like the spider that she had no way of knowing he was mentally comparing himself to."

Umm, if your character had no way of knowing this, why did you post it in there instead of ignoring it?

I am just confused, not accusing :) This posting thing is technically still new to me so I dont always understand why some ppl do the things that they do.

That's me as a writer acknowledging what you wrote without my -character- acknowledging it. If I was going to ignore what you wrote...well, what would be the point of writing with you?

We'll see where it goes and try to keep death from happening. But if you manage to kill her off, I'd just ask our dear GM if she'll accept a new profile so I can keep playing. No worries. :)

Well, even if she got into the position of becoming Creed's prey, she's have opportunities to fight it, or escape if she were caught, ect, from rolling and what not. So the situation would not be totally hopeless. Unless, of course, she would choose not to fight back, for whatever reason.

Also, Tyko, in one of your posts, the italics didn't work because you didn't put / in front of the "i" in the second one.

Jer, a line in your post doesn't quite make sense. If she's going into the bus shelter, she wouldn't be trading protection, she would be getting it, at the cost of Anywho, but if you do get killed off, you can write up a new profile. I'd have to read it over to make sure it would work, but we should be good. I'd hate for you not to be able to play with us. ^-^

hey all, I'm gonna be late posting tomorrow. I had to leave town suddenly for a funeral, it's cool I'll be back safe at home tomorrow but I have class all day so I won't be posting my response until tomorrow evening. Just a heads up!

That's alright dear, thank you for letting us know!

Oh, I see what I did there. >_> Sorry, this is what I get for posting with the flu. *edits* I'm really sorry I'm having a dumb moment at the moment. It made sense in my head at the time. *dies*

Lol, it's alright dear. I think everyone has moments. Otherwise your post was rather good, so I wouldn't fret too much.

Thanks. <3 I'm holding off on doing another one till I'm not getting dizzy every time I stand. Hooray for compy right by bed, but I'd rather not screw up a proper RP post any worse than I've already so far managed.

I'll be back soon and I really really really hate to do this to you right when Morgan's in the middle of a conversation with Creed, but...I'd rather make a GOOD post than a cheap shot.

A good idea. You're not due for another two days anyways, so you should be okay. However, I do still need to hear from Bippy. I hope to hear from her before the night is over.

She said a couple posts up she had to leave for a funeral I thought?

Oh yes, that's right! Thank you for reminding me, Jer, I completely forgot. ^-^;;

jeregretriens did we get the same bug? The whole being too dizzy to sit up seems painfully familiar...I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Kierys Thank you for being so understanding with my less than constant posting these past few days. I got back from the funeral related travels this morning and unfortunately, catching up on schoolwork before class had to come before checking in on the board. But, (knock on wood) I don't foresee any further disruptions in my posting any time in the next few weeks.

That's alright, I hope everything is okay now for you, Bippy! I'll go have a look at the post and maybe I can squeeze in a post before the night is over. We have food shopping to do soon though.

Edit: Posted, and I took the liberty of rolling Perception for your character, Bippy, but please, feel free to pm me if you ever want to do a roll for something and I will tell you the results so you can post them at the bottom of your posts, like I do. Or, if you have your own ten-sided dice, you can roll for yourself! Otherwise, I can use my dice. This goes for everyone, if there is anything you feel you want to roll for, let me know and I can roll it for you and tell you the results. For instance:

If you think someone is lying, you can roll Perception to detect it! Likewise, the liar can roll Manipulation to lower their chances of getting caught in the lie!

or

If you wanted to make someone like you more, you could try rolling Charisma. Creed uses a lot of Charisma to make up for his nature, lol.

Another example is: If you wanted to lift something particularly heavy, you would have to roll Strength to see if you could manage it. If you wanted to dodge something that would be hard to dodge, you'd roll Dexterity. Stamina is what you would roll to see if you could keep up with someone you could be chasing down a street. In that case, if you roll more successes than your quarry, you would start to overtake them! But if you roll less, you'd start to lag behind them.

You'd roll Manipulation if you try to tell a lie, or trick someone into doing something.

Everyone following me? Remember, if you have any questions, just ask!
