Hey guys I spoke to Mallefunction again today about some plot and game stuff. How do you guys feel about meeting via Skype or some other voice program on Thursday just for planning purposes.MetroidNut said:
Hey! How convenient that I already have Skype for RPing and other stuff like that! I don't mind having a Skype group for this RP. I already did for like two RP's that I was/am in.
I don't have a mic either, I'm afraid. Text chat for me.
And if I have a skype, I've forgotten the username/password, but I can always make a new one.

Im chill with using Skype. I have a mic but I feel like we should stick to text based RPing, lest it get out of a hand and degenerate into a screaming match. Also, these new captchas are fucking annoying. And what is the policy on swearing?
Ok, we want to keep the actual RP in chat. The idea was to have a skype chat simultaneously so the GM can address the players in real time, answer questions, and keep the ooc chat out of the game.
As for swearing it's fine as long as it doesn't hinder progress. Same with your in game posts, try keep them concise but detailed, somewhere around 3-6 sentences so we don't end up with too much going on at once. Also we will probably have some sort of loose posting order, but nothing too strict.
Any way, we can all discuss more ideas and such on Thursday.
Oh, and should we be Red or Blu team?

Temporarily have gained computer access through a friend's comp. Anyway, I talked to the guys at the shop and they said it might even take until Friday to get my fan replaced because Mac stores hate keeping non-cosmetic stock (le sigh), however, I'm going to borrow this computer for the RP session so we don't have to keep pushing the meeting back on my account. I will have to talk to my friend about installing skype on it and hopefully things will go smoothly. I won't have a mic though as this computer is ancient and has...pretty much nothing in terms of both hard and software.
(PS: Skype is free. You should totally get it :3333)
For those of you concerned about not having a mic, don't fret. We'll have a text chat on skype open as well. We just want to have the voice chat to try to convey as much information as possible, as quickly as possible, to you all. A mic will not be required for the actual RPing. As long as you can hear the current GM (Zorak or myself, you will be perfectly fine. We will be alternating between sessions and I should have my comp back by the time the next session rolls around). We just want to be able to give you guys obstacles in real time so that you guys aren't just typing blindly. It's a bit of a hybrid system, but hopefully it will seem natural after a few hours or so. This system is to keep the thread from stagnating and to introduce certain plot elements that Zorak and I have discussed. We will not be controlling the game beyond that because the best RPs come from the players just messing around and having fun with their own stuff.
We do REALLY want to keep the text there though so we have a permanent record of exactly what we've done so far. This will allow Zorak and I to look back on what has happened so that we can easily plan for stuff further on in the game.
My estimate for the first session will probably be 3 hours. We can make the sessions longer if desired, but that will be our max for now. We are also thinking of making either Thurs or Weds our semi-permanent meeting day (just to keep things simple as people usually make plans on the weekends, etc)
If you have any problems, please send a PM Zorak since I won't have access to this comp a lot and I doubt that the mac store will have fixed my craptop in time to answer any questions. He has my number anyway so it's no big deal.

Swearing is all good. I'm pretty sure we are all adults here.Icarion (aka Stockholm) said:
The mic bit is mostly so Zorak and I can address you guys. If you guys want to talk out of character or ask questions, then feel free to use it for that. We'll be RPing through text still.
Sounds like a plan. Having Skype as a secondary channel of communication will hopefully keep things organized with a group of this size. If it really is an issue we can just revert to straight text based communication.Mallefunction said:
Also, It looks like I will be unavailable to play on the 9th, 10th, and 11th (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday next week).
Well we'll talk about the next session after we get through this one. I might not be available on the 10th either. It depends on which day is more convienent for me to drive down for the move-in. It'll either be the tenth or that following Sat. So worst case scenario, we might move things back. XD I expect that the first few sessions will be a bit rough and experimental. No big deal.Zorak the Mantis said:
By the way: weapons are going to be limited to class defaults for now. We're not sure if we're going to use any stats, but just in case, we'd like to keep things simple for the beginning. If you're totally against using any stats at all, please let us know.
And so far the votes for the teams are as follows:
BLU has 3 votes
RED has 0
Please let us know which team we should be (I dun give a flying fuck what color my gloves are. Besides, when I cut you all open, it's going to be a rather lovely shade of RED anyway. But I bet the rest of you have uniform preferences XD).
Just to confirm this one last time. Everyone will receive an invitation to Zorak's Chatzy room at 9 PM EST this coming Thursday. From there, we will exchange skype accounts so that Zorak and I can get through all the questions and other stuff quickly. If everything gets squared away then we'll begin the first mission and go from there. We plan to end the session at 12 AM EST so try to make sure you can stay for the whole thing if possible.
Sorry for spamming you guys. Just want to make sure everything is squared away. 8 people getting together for an RP session means lots of chances for people to get their information mixed up or for people to just flat forget. I just wanna make sure that we're all on the same page and that everyone is ok with using the programs and sites we've chosen.
See you all on Thurs! :3

To put it colorfully, I dont give a fly fuck about what color we are. I abstain.
Do I need an account on the chatzy website?

Nope it's completely free. Just click the link to the chat, enter your character name, choose a color, and you are good to go.Icarion (aka Stockholm) said:
Realized I didn't post one of these. 
So here is my own.
"Tell me...vhy did you drink mein rubbink alkohol again Herr Demo?" Birds scattered off the operating table as the Medic rolled the drunk Scot onto the cot, lifting his wounded leg to the light. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and scowled. There was no helping these Deppenscheiß! "Vell, if you shoult get an infection, zen you only haff yourself to blame." He flicked the air bubbles out of a fresh fed needle and inspected the wound. Deep, but nothing life threatening. "I do not see vhy I bozzer vith zis vhen you haff clearly drunken yourself into anozzer shtupor." He pushed the plunger down and then clicked his tongue.
"Schtiches...schlimm..." He heard a muttered snore from the other man and he raised an eyebrow before smiling. "As long as I am in here..." He grabbed his favorite scalpel and began carving into the tissue, exposing more bright pink muscle as blood poured out onto the white sheets.
"MISSION BEGINS IN 20 SECONDS!"
Medic scowled and looked at his blade longingly before smacking Demo across the face. The man instantly woke, his brown eyes wide. "Vee haff ein new misshun." He saw the other's confused expression even through the haze of alcohol. "Try not to blow yourself to shmizerreens, ja?" He watched Demo limp out of the infirmary before he turned to his beloved birds, stroking over the blood stain on the sheets. "I vonder how long it vill take before he realizes zat I never closed zee vount?"
"ARGH! MEDIC!!"
"Ah...zer vee go..."
