[OOC] The fifth ninja war

[Vashonn]

Already startin' off really fun. Might be a while 'til I figure out what to post

[13org]

Well, it seems i'll have to do the first post XD

Will write it tomorrow.

[Halvtand]

@Vashonn Thanks. I wanted to give everyone something unique to react to in the first post so we don't start off with a lengthy time of getting to know each other.

@13org Go right ahead. Can't wait to see it.

Gingerboi PMd me a while ago, asking about how stuff will work in-game. Since this info is good for the whole group I'll give you all a list.

Playing the game.
First off. We'll have kind of a posting order. Unless I tell you differently I want to get a GM-post (describing how "the world" reacts to your actions) between each of your individual posts. I'll try to stay active, but I probably won't make more than one GM-post per day. Of course, one GM-post can reply to several player posts, so you wont have to restrain yourselves that much.
Right now you're all in different places, so feel free to post often. But when two or more are at the same place I'd appreciate it if everyone present is allowed to act.

Encounters and combat.
Some of you are kind of thrown into combat immediately. When it comes to this I have a very loose attitude.
Unless I specify something about the encounter such as presenting named characters, reveal number of attackers, troop type or describe a trap in detail it is all up to you to decide. You're superhuman, hyper-acrobatic soldiers, make it interesting!
Of course, logic has to prevail. If you're battling someone right outside the queen's chamber it probably won't be a farmer armed with a pitchfork.

Same with story stuff.
I have some sub-plots lined up, and once we get to interacting with one I'll do my best to convey whatever path I would like that plot to run down. But the same rule applies to this, feel free to manipulate the story. There are no essential characters, no obligatory quests or unkillable NPCs.
However, if you make a habit of getting out of trouble easily, I will have to respond by raising the bar.

I have a question to everyone. Would you like a game-discord set up for easier communication? It would help with stuff like co-writing and asking simpler questions.

[Vashonn]

@Halvtand
If everyone else is willing, I suppose I wouldn't mind a discord

[GingerBoi123]

Unfortunately, I don't have discord but feel free to set one up for the others

[13org]

Soo... I'm kinda lonely on the IC XD

[Bishop]

You've been lonely in the woods for years, bet you can wait some more days. ;)
@13org

And A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

[13org]

@Bishop

Noooo! I'm lonelyyyyyyyyy T____T

I want someone to pounce um... Talk to XD

[Vashonn]

@GingerBoi123 I'll be posting within the next day or two, so you can go before me if you'd wish. I seem to be having difficulty brainstorming this intro piece for some reason :P

[Halvtand]

Hello fearmongers and fishsticks. The guild has been unavailable to me for a few days and I was king of scared that you'd all get tired and leave. Very pleased to see that you've kept yourselves entertained.

With two posts in I think it is time for our first GM-post. I'll write it tomorrow though as it is quite late here and I have an early morning tomorrow. Posts looks great so far!

BTW, if there is something you want to bring into the game, a plotline for your character, an NPC, an event or anything else just let me know either here or via PM and I'm sure we can work it into the mess that our characters call reality.

[Bishop]

I'm like, feeling nothing, for any RP at the moment.

[Halvtand]

@Bishop If it helps I can give you a new intro.

[Vashonn]

@Halvtand I'll have somethin' up by the end of the night!

EDIT: Oookay, hopefully that will do. I wasn't really sure how much I was allowed to put in for what I was up against, cuz you didn't specify (and you did say that I could use my imagination for that!), so I just said that there were about 3 of whatever they are. Is that alright, or did you have a different plan?

[Bishop]

@Halvtand Nah nah, it's not you, it's me. Just am at a bad time, inspiration ain't coming. It'll pass.

[Halvtand]

@Vashonn
That looks all good. I'd say that amount of peeps fall under this part of the post I wrote earlier. But you did the right thing in being cautious. three is a good number, so there is no need to change anything.

@Halvtand Nah nah, it's not you, it's me.

@Bishop

Are you breaking up with me?

[Lord of Evil]

@Halvtand Is there a window or something in this barn or am I going to have to use the door?

[Halvtand]

@Lord of Evil I feel extremely comfortable leaving such matters in the indubiously capable hands of my players. The rule is; if it makes sense - go for it!

[13org]

Sorry for the delay (had to solve some problems in other RP)
Will have a post done by today.

[Lord of Evil]

Yeah, so what exactly is Satoi supposed to be out here for?

[Halvtand]

@Lord of Evil
That really is all up to you to decide. You had a list of subplots in the OP if you want to go after something like that or you can make up your own path. Feel free to drag your fellow players along if you do.

@GingerBoi123
Hey, you're the only one who hasn't posted yet, is everything ok?
