lol it is xD

I should be able to wrap up my flashbacks with one more post.

Maybe two. We shall see.

If we're still posting flashbacks, I'm going to write up a follow up post to my previous.

Midterms are finally done. Praise the sun. (Dark Souls reference I think.)

Up until Sunday, the IC is "closed" to posts aside from past memories, flashbacks and things of nature.

Hi everyone! I hope this post doesn't get lost.

I was wanting to make a second character, and well, in an effort to be as realistic as possible, it's safe to say he's not going to be the best survivalist and will most definitely have problems keeping himself alive (granted, it wouldn't be IMpossible).

And that's where your character comes in! Or I would hope so anyway. I'm looking for someone who's willing to team up with him? I realize I'm not giving a lot of info, I don't really want to waste OOC space on that (or give too much away!), but I can assure you it's a pretty good idea! If you're interested, you can PM me and I'll tell you more.

He is an adult capable of providing for himself, just isn't used to killing, to put it lightly. And he's a super quick study! Sure to watch your character's back! Although it might take an extra bullet.

Edit: post up.

Awesome post Fin.

I'll talk with Arlear, but I'd have no real issue with our chars linking up with yours.

We'll talk more after he and I talk.

Would you want our chars to meet as the RP starts or have them already together? I think meeting IC would be fun.

Which leads me to my next query. From the looks of it, there's going to be alot of back and forth conversations and small actions. Although to tell you the truth, I haven't seen many RPs those. How are those going to be managed? Are we just going to have (relatively) small posts for brief actions and dialogue? Or are we going to do it the 2010s way (using google docs, chat and other tools)?

Thank you, thank you.

Az, they'd meet IC! I think that'd be more fun too.

Everyone: I'm sorry I vanished. An IRL emergency arrived and demanded my full attention. I am back now, sorry for the lack of warning.

Dark: We use a thing called RPGWrite. It's a collaboration website, very useful for things like that. It's how Az and I make our wall-long posts together.

Dark - As Arlear said, there are some of us (Arlear and I, then Drummer and MST) that use various "collab" sites, like google docs, roleplaygateway or piratepad to do collaborative posts.

The other answer is yes, short post ARE acceptable here. I mentioned that a few times, but to reiterate it: yes this IS an advanced RP, but if my character asks your character's name and extends a hand, I won't expect a full 3-5 paragraphs returning the hand shake and giving the name. Granted, SOMETIMES it can be done, but I'm not going to bring the hammer down on posts like that. I'd rather have a short, sweet response than a long winded 3-4 paragraphs that basically embellish the actions and have a bunch of pointless, inane fillers.

Fin, no worries. Arlear and I will get Terry and Fuad to your char. PM him to me when you get a chance.

More to come shortly.

Ok. Things are still on track to go down Sunday. A few things:
1. PLEASE remember to check the THIRD post in the OOC, which is the information tab. Check this regularly just in case something needs to get passed. I know the OOC flies by some days and things get lost in there. I will be reposting this above in the THIRD post.
2. Walker group, remember. The intent is for eventually, EVERYONE to meet up. This means as a Walker, you can meet other Walkers. You can wander by yourself. You can meet the CDC group at the gas station, or meet them after they escape. OR meet the ENTIRE group AFTER they meet at the gas station and leave it. Just eventually, they need to link up.
3. I will be creating a link to a live document. This will serve for three purposes.
a. It will be a place to do collaborations. If two or more players want to do an interactive/group posts, they can use this link.
b. To socialize. Want to chat about random shit but NOT clog up the OOC. Use this.
c. IMPORTANT. There is no posting order. BUT, there ARE over a dozen players. SO! To avoid two players or more posting at the SAME time and doing contradicting things, IF YOU ARE WITH ANOTHER PLAYER OR PLAYERS, go in there, post that you are working on a post. That was, you and I don't post at the same time, each saying different things. This means that if players A and B post at the same time, and neither posted in the document saying they were working on a post, the only thing I'll do is say "Next time use it" and then say that the person who posted first is the one who's post is going to stay. To avoid that, TALK. Communicate. But I do NOT want the OOC with a string of posts that say "Posting" "Done!" "Ok I'm posting now!" "Finished! Next!" and so on. A link to this will be in the THIRD POST!

4. CDC players. When the RP goes live and we start, your characters will exit the doors seeing exactly what is going on. They may look out of the door, or open it and hear gunshots, but there is no saving Bradley, or getting to Jon before he starts talking to Will. They could have witnessed the whole thing, but cannot act outside of what's already happened. CDC GROUP. PLEASE COMMUNICATE POSTS. It will be chaotic enough without us posting numerous things simultaneously, but if that happens, it will be worse.

5. Work with each other. Bottom line is I will resolve any conflict, but try to not HAVE any conflicts.

6. When in doubt, ask me or Arlear.

7. DO NOT POST LIVE on Sunday until I say.

Just a note on what's going to happen with my character. I'm not going to plan ahead who she's going to interact with and what she's going to do. But be prepared because one or a few of you might just encounter her :) (with varying possible result). I won't know until a few of you put down a post :)

And that is it for my flashbacks!

Do enjoy!

I cannot wait for tomorrow :D

Sunday is nearly over on my end :D

Ok all. Consider the RP live and open.

PLEASE read the 3/14/2014 updates on the first page, THIRD post BEFORE you post, if you haven't already. Which you all should have.

I'm going to be in the interactive/live thread most of the day, on and off, but I'm about to take a nap and had a shit ton of HW to do tonight, so I may be there but not there at the same time.

Have fun. Place nice.

you are completely ignoring my point >.>

Also, Fin, Arlear and I are working on a CDC post in the live doc, so please wait until it's posted.

Edit. Posted.

Damn... missed y'all by that much.

Is there any way that I could come into this roleplay still? Perhaps as a non-CDC survivor that comes in later, or something?
