[OOC] Contracted - Dead Hopes and Dreams

[RawrEspada4]

to be honest Briza it's just awesome that yo are that interested in this game

[Orchestratic]

It's absolutely fantastic, dear! I told you to not worry about matching her character, anyway; simply the connections she had to each of our characters like the meet Parker at the hospital and dating him, going to school with Soren, and... the connection to Matt that I've forgotten. xD You could've changed the name and everything if you wanted. You have of course been officially accepted, dear. c: We will start posting in the IC as soon as a few things have been worked out, because we have no yet decided on how we are going to continue. We'll all need to talk about it, and that includes you, dear Laura. c:

So, guys, my thoughts are:
Start over entirely, doing the beginning exactly the same way (i would literally be copy/pasting my intro post), and trying to work up to where we are at a hopefully faster rate since it seems we can all post faster than Lee Lee could (including Justice, even if we have to kick him in the ass every time).

Option two, we continue where we left off and just pretend all things that have been posted by our previous Petra are changed.

Option three, we copy and paste each of our posts, then on Lee Lee's, we have our wonderful new Laura fill in the spot with how she would've posted.

These are just things that came to mind, anyone else's ideas are of course just as welcome. :D The second and third ideas are hacky but they'd work, while the first would be a long restart but we love this game with all of our heart so we'd manage.

DISCUSS!

I'd be up for any of the options. In all reality I'm just really excited that we are going to continue with this. I love this game almost as much as Søren loves Nete and himself (almost only because, well Søren's a bit... out there).

However, I feel like from the very begining may be better, so that our lovely new war can shape the character more to her own will through her posts.

I was thinking the same thing, Justice. I just didn't know if we should go with the faster ideas or what. I'm sure we'll get Josh's opinion very soon, as well as Laura's, and then we'll get to start. If we do start over, I plan to copy/paste my beginning post ( as well as you both should), then after that we'll just steer the game in the same direction as before:

1. Work, then practice
2. Deciding on a pizza night where Matt get's his text that we got the first big gig lined up.
3. Next few days of planning and setting up.
4. Morning of gig, off to practice.

All just like before, then we continue from there as a real game. ^-^

[Orchestratic]

Of course, unless y'all want an entirely new game.

[Briza]

I am okay following a story line work, pizza, gig, etcetera), starting over, whatever. I have read most but not all of the IC. I think starting over would be a bit easier and fluid on my part.

[Orchestratic]

So should we do a new game or follow the same story line up to where we were?

[RawrEspada4]

I'm absolutely cool with any of the options given but much like Justice feel a complete reboot would be for the best, perhaps with a new thread as well. ALSO I LOVE THE NEW PETRA!! She's absolutely amazing, great job Laura. Also a complete reboot at this point (with a new 4th) feels a lot more like progress than when we were all talking about what to do after LeeLee.

[Orchestratic]

Sigh, thank you Josh for not exactly answering my question. xD But I'll take "complete reboot" as an answer for a restart without using the same main events that occurred... but so you all know, we're very likely to end up guiding toward how the story was before. xD

Like I said, I'm copying and pasting my intro post, and if you remember, we were initially going to have a small-time gig the first weekend after the game started, and it was mentioned in my post; maybe this time we actually start that way? I'm thinking this for our new beginning:

Same beginning as before (getting off work and heading to practice), but the gig will be that weekend at a rock club, on Friday. Then sometime during the week, Matt will get the text (or we'll find out a different way) about the big gig (because I want that part to stay in since we never got to it and it's necessary) being the very next night on Saturday, providing us with our first in-game issue. ^-^ Thoughts?

Oh and I already planned to make a new thread. this one is is tainted. >_> I just figured I'd wait until we're done figuring everything else out.
"Contracted 2: This Time It's Personal"
Obviously not really.

[Briza]

I am okay with this plan.

[RawrEspada4]

Sounds good and yeah that is basically what I meant with complete reboot XD I also will be sure to remember that we have a gig this time and not write in a "god from a machine" style moment where we suddenly get asked to do a bigger show.

[RawrEspada4]

Sadly we won't be able to start for a little while (probably 2 weeks at the most) both 22ice22 and I play from our phones and my phone is broke and his charger is shot.

[Briza]

Okay. ~ I shall be patient. :)

BURN TO BEAUTIFUL ASHES, MY MOST BELOVED FAILURE.
