[OOC] The Pickers

[hoppiholla391]

all done! i might be making a few minor edits within the next few days, mostly on appearance and her race's history because worldbuilding is my favorite thing in the world next to character building, but hopefully i get back from a short trip in time for the IC.

So a bioweapon, a drunken mercenary, an assassin, a gangster, a fish, a pilot, and a captain all walk into a bar...

@Oxenfree

Gotta say that's the greatest description ever.

Edit: @beyond visions should our characters know each other already? Or just the reputation and their race's culture?

[beyond visions]

@jel2658 Yeah, everyone has known each other for at least two years. So if you want to private message anyone including me for further background on a relationship. Feel free to do so.

[jel2658]

@beyond visions Thanks much. I have to read the entirety of the character posts now, instead of just doing what I normally do and skim, aha.

If I think of anything I need to know about something I'll message you or the user I need to, got it.

[beyond visions]

@SpookySquid @Bourgeoisie Not trying to rush you guys, but will you have your CS in by Friday?

[Oxenfree]

Would it be possible for those of us who have submitted our CS's to begin IC, and the others join in when it is convenient?

I don't mean to be impatient, but this seems like such a cool concept for an RP I'd hate for anyone to lose interest and for it to wither before it gets off the ground.

[beyond visions]

Yes, I agree that it is a good idea to do that not only to get our feet off the ground with this roleplay, but also with how the beginning will start... I'll try to see it that I get the first post tonight.

@Bourgeoisie @R31GN @hoppiholla391 @Kassarock @Evil Snowman @Oxenfree @SpookySquid @jel2658

Its finally here! The first post is up!

[Kassarock]

Ah shit that was a mispost - not yet finished, give me like 20 minutes

EDIT: All done, not gonna add to that anymore

Also! You thought Z liked to sleep because they were lazy, nope, unconcious hive mind reliving past lives and having semi-religious experiences.

[beyond visions]

@R31GN @Evil Snowman @Kassarock @hoppiholla391
Wow, I was not expecting the post to come in so quickly! I am really quite happy with everyone's posts. Great job, guys. I'll put another post after the rest who have characters have the chance to post.

[Oxenfree]

Post up. If I spelled your character's name wrong/strangely, it's intentional; that's how Grick is pronouncing it. The poor boy is bad with other cultures.

[beyond visions]

@Oxenfree No, its completely fine. I appreciate a character's accent.
Just giving @jel2658 time to post, before Askel's announcement.

[R31GN]

So it's actually been a long time since I've actually roleplayed on this site, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. As far as post order goes, do people wait for an entire rotation like in D&D, or do you just post as frequently as you can within reason?

[Kassarock]

@R31GNI say generally its good form to give everyone a chance to post first, but sometimes it depends on who your interacting with at the moment, so if its just you and another character are just sitting in a room talking, its probably okay to not wait for everyone to post before continuing your conversation. However if there's big stuff for people to react to, its probably best to wait - depending on how people play.

See I like to play where each post incrementally adds something to the whole, so when I show up in the common room, the people who are there are already there and I also interact with an action (the pilot's FTL jump). So if something big happens, you react, someone else reacts, and then you react to their reaction, it means that people generally have to then write lots about their reactions to your reactions but without you ever noticing them cos you've already posted. That's why its better to wait. It makes stuff harder for other people and doesn't look good IMO if you dont.

Some people prefer to do stuff so that its like all posts are happening simultaneously and no one is just noticing what everyone else is doing, but I think this is a lazy and bad way to role play.

[R31GN]

@Kassarock
Okay, cool. Thanks for the advice!

[jel2658]

I'm just reading up, I'll definitely post something by the end of today. It's a little hard for me to start with things like this, so please don't be surprised if I don't have as much as any of the others.

[beyond visions]

@jel2658 Yeah, its completely cool, buddy. I understand, just put out what you can.

[boomlover]

@beyond visions eey this shit is looking mighty interesting. I'm in.

[beyond visions]

@boomlover Well, I really need to get the Lieutenant spot filled and @SpookySquid has not responded in four days, today would be his fifth. So if he does not respond by tonight, I'll give you the spot.
