[OOC] The Crucible - Winner Take All

[AbysmalDemon]

Ahhhhhhhhh. Sorry.

Made a big deal about it in last post and acceptance post, but it seems like @Ayame wants this more than I do, and I don't feel like I should be stopping that/making them feel like they should rush their CS to get it done before me, if this isn't as much of a priority to me, as I've only been semi-working on the CS for this. So I'd rather let them taking than me possibly 'stealing' it from them.

[Ayame]

@AbysmalDemon xD I don't really mind, but thank you for thinking of me.

[Lugubrious]

@AbysmalDemon

I don't know what indicates that Ayame wants this position more than you. Either way, this isn't stealing. It's you having a prior claim and being first in line to get what you want. If anything, Ayame winning this competition would be more like 'stealing', and while you say you've been semi-working on your sheet, Ayame hasn't indicated anything yet. So don't just give it up because there's someone else in the mix.

@Lugubrious

Do you mind if I PM you about this?

[Ayame]

@AbysmalDemon, @Lugubrious

I kind of agree with Lugubrious. I'll post the CS in any case. I've just started it since I just got home.

@AbysmalDemon

I do not mind.

[Lugubrious]

Abysmal will not be joining us after all. @Ayame, the path is clear for you, so long as you can bear the mantle of responsibility for the RP. There's a posting requirement of at least once per two weeks, though ideally more, and you're expected to communicate if there's some sort of problem that's stifling your posting ability. If that's good, then I'll eagerly await your application.

[Ayame]

Alright. I'm in the middle of creating the CS.

[BCTheEntity]

The first round of Motley Vs Erina is here. @Lazo, if I've misjudged your character's acting, please do say so; I'd like to ensure I get her as accurate as I can for the time I'll be manipulating her actions for.

[kapuchu]

@BCTheEntity
The purple text is literally painful (yes, I mean literally) to read. It hurts my eyes to look at. Could you remove the colour? Or at the very least change it to something that doesn't hurt to look at.

[BCTheEntity]

@kapuchu Is it weird for me to think I've gotten that complaint before despite no obvious problems on my end? Deja vu, perhaps? Except not, because it was one of my own games. Either way, I've changed the text colour, since I'm sure others will have a similar complaint.

[kapuchu]

@BCTheEntity
Much better!

@BCTheEntity

No worries, it looks good from here.

It's not like I had extremely specific expectations over what people would write for the character either way. It's your show at this point.

[Lugubrious]

@Ayame, how's the sheet coming along?

@obliviousRoadie, @Hostile, @Lmpkio, @GreenGoat, @Propro, time is up (some more than others) and you are on 3-day probation. Please post at your next opportunity.

As for everyone else, the current IC night has gone on long enough. Not immediately, but in a little while -allowing some time to wrap up individual sidequests- we're going to move through the rainy night. I imagine most for whom sleep is an issue will want to sleep through it. In the morning, we'll be kicking things off with a bang and a new boon, courtesy of the announcer, for everyone. Then the PVP that is a central part of this RP will begin.

Here's a quick status update for Round 1:
Lazo's Lady in White: finished
GreenGoat's God Hand: finished
Banana's Fungal Knight: finished
ScreenAcne's Smiley: finished
Lmpkio's Queen of Terror: 1/3
RoughDragon's Blood Devil: 2/3
Sentel's Sentinel: finished
Kapuchu's Inari: finished
My Knight Sylvestre: finished
Hostile's Chosen of Gaben: finished
Propro's Cereal Killer: finished
DracoLunaris' Seraphim: finished
BCTheEntity's Book Keeper: 1/3
Deadnaut's Blackjack: finished
obliviousRoadie's Angry Dragon: 2/3
The Wild West's Tyrant: 0/3

As far as I'm concerned, that's definitely grounds enough to move on in short order.

For those who may not be posting frequently due to lack of interest: I urge you to stick it out until the PVP. If it re-energizes you, excellent, but if not, at least you can drop out in the proper fashion.

For those who haven't finished yet: I'm okay with you consolidating all remaining parts of your battle into a single large or very large post, so that you can catch up. I understand this is all going on in the midst of exam season, so I'm willing to cut some slack, but when putting it off starts to become a problem for other members of the RP, I must ask you to get involved.

I'm super excited to get the real meat and potatoes of this RP on the plate, and I hope there are some echoes of that hype among you as I buckle down to start writing my next post.

[Ayame]

@Lugubrious It's actually going well. I should be posting it today or tomorrow.

[DracoLunaris]

@Lugubrious

I should probably contrive a way to eat that forbidding knowledge pill before you make that post so Sophia can have some fun nightmares and descend further into madness.

will that sleep post be like a "Night happens" post or a night is going to happen post a flowed by a dawn happens post

@DracoLunaris

I'll almost certainly include both the passing and the morning in the same post separated by a divider. If people want to do their own dreams, or describe how their characters slept or something, they can add them in as the first part of a followup post, if you get what I'm saying.

[DracoLunaris]

@Lugubrious
I think I may have misinterpreted what the red pills forbidden insight means, I had assumed it would be something like the captain's sleep vision but looking at the wording again that seems like the wrong interpretation. well, only one way to find out what it actually means, so I suppose we shall find that out in the morning.

By the way this rp has been great so far and I am looking forward to the pvp writing contest segment, it should be interesting. Keep up the good work.

@DracoLunaris

I thought I had clarified in a PM, but I'd be glad to provide any additional help.

I'm so happy you've been enjoying it! With any luck, the next bit will be still better.

[DracoLunaris]

@Lugubrious
I think i figured out where the confusion is from, this is the front page vs the our pm
Grants forbidden insight if the red is consumed VS Consuming the red pill grants passive reality alteration, changing things bit by bit to suit the pill-taker. It can be best summarizes as a big increase to overall durability and huge increase to luck; everything will seem to go the taker's way, or at least be very convenient.

so I think you flipped the colors of the pills in one of the post because the intro's blue pill( limited consequence dismissal ) sounds a lot more like what you sent me in the pm. This might have been a result of me changing color while you where writing that pm or something idk.
