[OOC] Blackout 2030

[Lord Pie]

I've just woken up from a few hours of sleep - so much for my Friday night :p

Aha I actually walk past that church practically everyday on my way to and from work! I live less than 10 mins away.

Will get working on a post reaal soon n

Honestly the first thing I thought of were those tamagotchi digital pet things, do you guys remember those, or did I just show how terribly old I am?

I remember when they first came out. And I'm probably older than all of you, at 32. I'll be 33 this year.

Lord no, I remember those things. Those were a blast as a kid, until everyone(no matter who you are)would forget about it, or go somewhere on the weekend and leave it home so that when you came back and remembered you had it, you discovered your pet dead. XD

Or the pet killed you. (This actually happened once indirectly. Parisian woman had a tamagochi on her keychain. It started blipping for food so she fed it. Whilst driving on the motorway. 4 car pile up.)

I also live in basingstoke and work in the town centre at the moment (although perhaps not for long but I won't go into that). I've always meant to take a look inside the church out of pure curiosity. Its a nice building.

[ManoftheNorth]

Oh wow, that is terrible.....

Was the Tamagochi ok?! XD *Kidding.*

Also, I think maybe my Intro post might have been a tad-too much.

HAHAHAHAHA
HAha, I really shouldn't laugh that much but damn!

No, I thought your post was a good length. I don't know if I will be outdoing that with my current schedule for the next three hours, but who knows. Ugh, gotta go somewhere, then come back and write this post. Then finish my nation cs for smoke filled skies....ugh

Lol.

Your post was a great length and a brilliant read that captured the circumstances of the world wonderfully. You worry too much ;)

In fact I am very much enjoying reading through everyones responses. One thing that has caught my attention though is confusion as to the locations nature and scale which is entirely understandable for those unfamiliar with basingstoke and a learning experience for me. I will try to provide more information on any real locations I use in the future. At present in the real world it is a large town with a population of approximately 84,000. In 2030 within the setting the town will have expanded to a population just a little in excess of 100,000. To accommodate the additional population housing will have been built more vertically in with a few additional estates to the northern part of it. For more info on it in the present day feel free to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basingstoke

The church is in fact right next to the town centre which is a large shopping mall called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Place[/url (literally. You cross a road and go through a set of automatic doors and you are in the mall.).

Feel free to ask any more questions you might have about anything anytime.

[ManoftheNorth]

Come on everyone, do the Tamagochi Dance!!

Side Note:Do any of you have Steam? *Is bored, and lonely.*

[Invictus]

I do, LaserBed. Its the picture of the fat dude with the awesome (hahaha) sweater.

[ManoftheNorth]

> u > I just met you, and this is crazy, but can I add you, maybe?

[Invictus]

Haha, that is why I told you my steam name lol.

[ManoftheNorth]

I know. XD I just wanted to make that bad Taylor Whore Reference.

Edit: How ironic, you have Dota 2, I just got it today, and I am like, in love with it. > . >

Taylor Whore Reference.

HAHA, first time I have heard someone outside of my friends refer to her by that name.

Edit
I assume you are panda?

[ManoftheNorth]

Yep. I have been called a Bear ever since elementary school, so ninety percent of my usernames or scree names refer to bears of some fashion, in some way. XD

Without any occupants the place seemed quiet and solitary. A brilliant place for reflection regardless of personal beliefs. The building, like the world outside waited in silence for a saviour. Whether it was to come nobody knew.

Damn this sentence! I had a good four paragraphs written until I went back and reread this. Can I just bend your words so that they speak of a time before the crisis? Cause i mean it's a church, during a time of trouble people flock to it. It's a sanctuary.....unless you object, idk if Ima rewrite. Probably just post it under the assumption (stretched) that that sentence was referring to when the church is without occupants.

Sorry guys, I just got off a 13 hr shift *3AM posting ftw!* I'll post tomorrow. Also, My steam name is Dextkiller if anyone wants to add me.

Yeah I understand that, but when I had originally written my post I had a lot of people sleeping around the walls of the Chapel. Then I realized the "refugees" would have to sleep somewhere else because no one else mentioned anyone so therefore I couldn't contradict them by placing sleepers there.
