All online. At the same time. Viewing this thread. Right this second.

Wait so ... Am I still the oldest? (26)

@Kirah Maybe? (24 in May)

Hot damn, we are all online. :x

Where in western NY? I'm in CNY, near Syracuse!

I'm in Binghamton! Whoah...

I was in these places last summer...
Like I was at a wedding near Binghamton last summer and so we drove all over NY checking it out.

@Callthecops Ah. I'm in Auburn. It's a small world, isn't it?

@TheMaster99@Callthecops@Kirah Holy cow, what are the odds? 3 of us in the same RP from the same general area...

I'm currently in California. I was just visiting over the summer.

@Kirahoh, I see. Still 3 of the Rpers though, me, master and call.

Yeah, it's pretty nuts! Technically I'm just up here for school, but I still live in New York down by the city so it's all the same state, plus bliss too.

Yeah those are some crazy odds.

Whereas Jig and I remain stuck across the pond. << Him on an island, and me in the middle of the desert, haha.

Okay, I think I've planned things so they will work without slowing you guys down too much. I'll probably be checking in frequently, but won't get too much time to sit down and do stuff. Fortunately, I've pre-written the next two plot-progressing posts (which will be rather close to one another), so when you guys are done with each section, I can just upload them. I'll also sit down tomorrow and pre-write secret PMs and plot-guidance for the Character tab, so I can do the same there.

I do have one collaboration in mind after each plot progression, but they will be very very brief, so hopefully it might even be possible to schedule time for the relevant people to sit down on Google Docs with me. Fortunately, I've quite organically absented most of the NPC cast during this time, so it will almost certainly be after my essay deadlines before the NPCs are inclined to interact with you in 'free time' or vice versa.

One thing that you can do that will do me a favour (over the whole RP), is to, after each section, if you feel like you've done all you can/want to before the next section, let me know - if you're all done, we can move on sooner! By the same token, if you have a post lined up that you're still working on, definitely definitely let us know! If a day or so passes without any evidence of forthcoming posts, I'll probably give you a last chance to get one up before the plot gets progressed, but I really don't want to accidentally cut anybody off because they've been offline and didn't know we were moving on - therefore, it's probably a good idea to let me know beforehand. If you really really want to make a post, but won't be able to for a little while, I'm more than happy for you to post a place-holder while you get chance to work on it, so that we can move on sooner (though it'll be worth letting me know what will happen in it, so that my plot-progression doesn't contradict what you have in mind).

It's my first time GMing a game like this, so I hope I'm not running things too prescriptively.



I'm trying really hard to run this smoothly, at a decent pace, without restricting your freedoms or putting unreasonable expectations on you. While it's really fucking hard challenging, it's also a blast (and there hasn't even been any carnage yet): I hope youse are enjoying it too. If there's anything you want or need from this you're not currently getting (including things you want to happen in the plot), do let me know. It's your game as much as mine and I won't be offended if you have any feedback and I totally won't even kill you or anything yet.

Love,
J

Finally posted, yay!

And @Jig, you're doing absolutely wonderfully, don't you worry.

I'll probably write about Marci's primping session in the same post as her going downstairs for the party. So I'm alright with whatever everyone else needs in terms of staying or moving onto the next section.

To: Our Darling GM @Jig

Jigsaw, sir. You, sir, are the most determined GM I've ever seen. Massive respect, and massive props. You're doing so beautifully.
Never before have I been in an RP where the GM is just as involved as us. :') One of us, Jig. One of us.
Until the bloodbath.

As to not get in the way, I think I'll be doing the same as Bliss. I'll get Lynn ready and down to the ballroom but in her super ditsy short attention span curiosity and a knack for knowing what to do when, she might be a little slow and take everything in all at once on her way down. Maybe swoop by the trophies and shit, and downstairs just waltz by the lounge and dining hall. Not really go in, but just walk around...
Unless there's a hanged body that's been suspended from the ceiling above the dinner table and I'm not meant to see it. Oh god.

Regardless, I say again, you're doing a fantastic job. It's a real nice, smooth pace...I really like it.

As for requests, I want to touch that Dubois butt. I mean...err. Lynn wants to touch that Dubois butt.
If you kill him I think she'll spontaneously combust or something.

Keep well, my good sir. Good luck with the essays, and you're a gem for having prewritten everything.

The highest number of affections and yours always unfortunately,
Ginger

N'aww. What can I say? When you're nocturnal and procrastinating, shit gets done (though it's not always the shit you need to get done). Should probably let you know that the Trophies and Shit room isn't currently available - the only available public rooms are the ones on the ground floor, bar the study.

For people who've invited you halfway across the world, they're not sharing their whole house with you. If I were suspicious, I'd think somebody was hiding something.

Hum, say@Jig I was gonna work on that collab we did today, should I try u post it before or after you update? (also you're awesome)

before please :)

I'm on for five hours from now in which to do it :)

Kay, good thing I've been working on it, then. :P

Is it still on Google Docs to finish it off?
