[OOC] Caelbury Academy [Version 2]

[Wriggle]

Oh god no! Now all I can here is that "that's so Ravennnn!"

[Ozerath]

You still taking people? I'm usually an NS kind of guy, but something where I don't have to write 8 billion pages of political intrigue and military strategy every time I want to post might be a nice change of pace.

[Insatiable]

I believe this is still accepting people as how it is stated at the first page/post

[solaruin]

Or you can roll a military brat that views everything as a battle to be won, and details his intentions with several paragraphs strategy and political considerations!!

[Ozerath]

I think I'll keep it a little simpler than that XD.

Looking over the CS's so far, I think I'll make a boisterous but friendly broish character, to stir things up a little.

[solaruin]

i'm ready to staaaaart >.<

[Insatiable]

Well, due to the weird fact that I constantly kept re-logging back just to see if the IC was up means that I too, couldn't wait to start.

I think I'll just make one once my character has his meet and greets. It might be quite intriguing to see some honest(?) first impressions ;)

Keep in mind that unless your character is a freshman or a new person, most people will already know each other, so it wouldn't be first impressions.

I personally prefer doing RSs before the IC actually starts, it gets everyone to read CSs and keep interests high until the IC begins. It also gives everyone a chance to experiment a bit with their character.

How we dividing roommates? Random generator? Choosing? Names in a hat? Mini golf?Now I want to play mini golf .

For simplicity's sake, I'm creating the rooming list, perhaps with some help from my co-GM if he's up for it. It's mostly what I think would result in some interesting character interactions, but I of course include any requests of "I want my character to room with this one", or "ANYONE BUT THAT"

Insatiable said
Except I've made my character roommate-less. Wait, is that even allowed? btw, those dancing gorillas have been bothering me recently D:

Technically not, since I'm the one who decides that, but I'll keep that in mind when creating the rooming lists. If at all possible, I prefer everyone to have a roommate to maximize character interaction, but that's not always possible. If there's an odd number of your character's gender, I can make it so that your roommate is the odd one out.

Insatiable said
So yeah, that might be the case and Tomika is a girl so.....it might be against the rules or I dunno

Yup! You can't be roommates with someone if they're a different gender. Cuz. High school=hormones + sexual things = disaster. (Note, that was not a legit math equation)

I know last time, Eliza and Acacia were roommates, that'd be good to have again.

That'll probably happen, but who knows?

NarcissisticPotato said
Do the international committee guys get paired up with people coming in from other countries? Or do they just help them along.

From my understanding, some people get paired up. But it's usually for people new to the country. Like, Alena (I think?) has been in America for a while, so she technically wouldn't need a IntCom partner.

I'd ask Spooner for the details though, he's the one who came up with IntCom.

Not starting yet, sorry guys! Still have a few things to address before we can.

TL;DR
--I will be assigning roommates. That being said, feel free to throw in some requests! I'll most certainly incorporate them.
--Unless your character is a freshman or a new student, people know each other! They technically won't have 'first impressions' when the IC begins.
--If you have time, please fill out an RS! You can wait for the IC to begin, but it's a great way to be involved in the RP before that actual IC begins. And it's super fun. A lot of work, but super fun.
--IC will probably not begin for a few days at least! Thanks for your patience.

Is there anyone waiting on character approval?

[NarcissisticPotato]

I think I'm kind of ok. I sent my character to SixSmith and you but he okayed it and said I could post it to the Character Bin if I wanted. So if you want to read it over then just give me anything I need to fix, SixSmith already did but if you want to then I messaged you with it.

hmmm, I have to think a little on this one. I actually didn't want to accept any more elite outside from Eliza... Gimme some time to consider what I want to do.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Yeah, I did actually put her as wealthy because I knew there was quite an influx of Elite people but SixSmith told me to put her up to Elite because she seemed to be gifted as well as rich. I'm fully willing to shift her back down to wealthy though, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference on the character itself.

We have more wealthy than Elite at the moment. Thought it better suited the character

It's all Hae's fault D:<

Change her to a commoner! D:<

No, no. It's fine. Keep her as elite. I agree, she doesn't belong in the wealthy class.

No more elites after this though.

Working on updating character things and such. be back in a bit.

[Blazion]

Ooo, I was just about to write out a list for the Relationship Sheet when I saw you updated it. Thanks!

Also if you don't want as many elites it'll be pretty easy to shift things around in Alena's profile and make her gifted if you prefer Mizuho. I'm flexible. *WINKY FACE*

[NarcissisticPotato]

Poor SixSmith, he just wanted to be nice :( also thank you!

Trying to get on the GM's good side? I like you.

You don't have to do that, but if there's a lack of balance still, I might ask you to do that in the future... But don't worry about it for now.

You're welcome!

He isn't nice, he's a butt. But I love him anyway <3 Probably. Possibly.. Perhaps.

[NarcissisticPotato]

I'm bored stiff so I'll probably start up on that relationships sheet. So should I make it out as if my character has got a little taster of these various other characters already? Otherwise there probably isn't much to write.

The point of a relationship sheet is that you write out what you imagine your character would think of another. It doesn't have to be set in stone, and even if your character hasn't met another, it's possible to write out what your character's opinion would be of them, once they meet.

But in your case, your character is a junior, so yes. She would've already met most, if not all of the other people here. She would already have different thoughts and relationships with everyone in the school.

The relationship sheets that are already written (I think it's just mine and Chezka's that are up though), all of the former members wrote them before the IC actually started.

No problem, just give me the signal if you do decide.

I'll start working on judging everyone's characters writing out a relationship list but it likely won't get posted until at least tomorrow since I have D&D in less than two hours.

[Ex]

I'll start working on an RS, then.
