I'm still trying to watch Into The Dalek

*stars twitching* Need....to......Explode....over....awesomeness.....

I am aware of how ironic this situation is, since this is pretty much exactly how I act when I text my friends in reaction to almost every new episode.

But. Please.

Shhooooshhh...!

It's too late to go back on my decision now - and I figured I'd have enough schoolwork and Super Smash Bros to distract me so the wait wouldn't feel that long. But you're starting to make me impatient if we've finally got to an episode that you find this mind-numbingly amazing. :I

Edit: I'm gonna go read that DW comic book I bought yesterday...

You could probably find the episodes online somewhere if you want to catch up that badly. My only excuse is that A) being forced to watch them all live was the only reason I was able to find time to watch them instead of finding other online alternatives and B) at this point, I'd rather watch on my nice TV at home instead of watch on some sketchy website, with only a few weeks left until I have that opportunity.

...Although, you're in high school, yes? Unless there's some other big thing going on in your life that I'm unaware of I'm not sure what's keeping you from watching those episodes if you want to catch up.

I have all the episodes from the season recorded. And I'm almost in high school. I'm currently in 8th grade plus my mom hogs the TV and my TV is way to small. Then we just had a band concert last week and then my ride home takes forever because we have to pick up another kid and the I have debate and forensics meetings every Monday. My life is way too hectic. -_-

Mmm... been there.

On another note, I'll try to remember to post one of these days. Probably tomorrow.

Kaga said Super Smash Bros

Kaga said Super Smash Bros

There's your problem! :P

Kaga said I'm not sure what's keeping you from watching those episodes if you want to catch up.

I know this wasn't being asked to me (Especially since I'm in year 3 of college now, not starting High school), but I felt the need to answer anyways. :P

Skyrim.
I've hit a "Mod Skyrim like crazy, but don't get farther than level 10-15 before doing a new character cause stuff" mood for a while now and it's caused me to get pretty slow on just about everything else.
Including getting around to posting IC... Which now that I mention it I should make myself do... Like now. :/

The new Classic mode is so addictive, thoooough!

Did I forget to mention that the village is underground?

While Muse led Books and Rae into a jungle-like area, the huntresses then led them underground, into a large complex of tunnels lit up by 3-foot-tall glowing mushrooms. You should probably edit that when you get the chance.

[Kaga]

So then I thought, "I wonder if I can find a gif of the TARDIS hermit crab for my signature".

Google was quick to point out to me that there are already TARDIS hermit crab T-shirts, coffee mugs, and cell phone cases. As well as a ton of fanart.

Wow. o.o

[Gwazi Magnum]

Kaga said Did I forget to mention that the village is underground?

Yes... :(
I'll go back and edit the post now.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Edited.

Edited.

Looks good now. Thanks!

Speaking of SSB, what are your most awesome/hilarious moments? One of mine would be a somewhat trolling moment I had today in an online match. I was playing as Adult Link, two other players were using Little Mac and Samus. At one point during the match, the Samus player managed to pull off a Final Smash. The only problem; she was on an elevated platform quite a bit above the rest of us, missing everyone. That is, until I, as Link, used an Upward Smash to slam the Little Mac player right into the beam XD.
Sure, the kill went to the Samus player, but my <deity> was it worth it >=D.

[Gwazi Magnum]

So the other people the Rat was questioning all have magic powers? O_O

Maybe I should have started with a few myself rather than make it a 'Learn as you go' thing...
Then again, learning as I go could be more fun from a roleplaying perspective.

Edit: Also, it dawned on me I only left my RL appearance in the CS. Which in most likelihood would not be the appearance I adopt when in an RP world.
It would probably be this:



Because back during my main RP days that was usually the picture I used for my characters. I'll be sure to edit this into my CS but I wanted to note the update here cause most likely no one would spot the change otherwise.

Reading this post made me realize that I never tried fighting anyone online before, which then made me think, "why not?", so I opened my DS to try it.

I then remembered that my DS can't connect to the wi-fi here. :<

Well, no one else started with magic powers. Books and Rae both had to learn that with time, and even then, they were only able to because Muse played mind games on them in order to make them realize they could.

Learning how to use such powers in the RP world is kind of difficult, anyhow, since it involves being consciously aware of the fact that you can alter your surroundings just by thinking about it and then also not doubting the ability because that would negate it...

Sorry, did I not explain that clearly enough in PM's? I must've rushed that summary worse than I thought...

Weell... I mean, all the roleplayers were sucked into the Guild world with their real-world appearances. Either image works for me for sake of this RP, but, as far as the canon of this world is concerned, Gwazi would look exactly the same inside the Guild as out - unless he disguised himself to better blend in with his surroundings (which I'm hoping he would've done in a tribal village), or used his powers to shapeshift similarly to how Muse does.

Kaga said Sorry, did I not explain that clearly enough in PM's? I must've rushed that summary worse than I thought...

It's likely I'm just not remembering all the details from the PM anymore since it was a while ago now.

In that case, my original picture should be adequate.

Kaga said unless he disguised himself to better blend in with his surroundings (which I'm hoping he would've done in a tribal village), or used his powers to shapeshift similarly to how Muse does.

That's the thing, I took so long to post that they seemed to be outside the village now. So I basically just had myself wandering in the cave rather than being from the tribal village.
In all honesty, for even an altered/revisioned version for me it's doubtful that I would willingly settle in a community that looks at men so poorly. I'd probably visit for supplies and info, but I most likely wouldn't make efforts to be part of the Tribe unless if pressing circumstances urged me to do so.

You know... you're allowed to look back at those conversations to make sure you understand their content before posting. :/

...Listen...

The entire underground complex? That is the tribe. You are in the tribe's tunnel complex. The shit is guarded. You managed to sneak in. How? Feel free to think up your own excuse on that. However, you're still in that tribe. You chose to tack onto this group after I told you that they were inside the underground village. You probably haven't even been there that long - not long enough for their misandrous nature to really effect you, since probably the worst they could've done so far is restrict you from entering certain areas of the complex. You really wouldn't need to "settle" there - maybe just stay there for a few days at most. Why exactly are you staying there? How long do you plan to stay? How are you managing as you currently are? That's for you to figure out.

I'm getting a little bit annoyed at your tendency to not at all pay close attention to the information I'm giving you. Like, I know you joined in late, I know you need a little help getting into this. I'm trying to give you that help. However, you don't seem to be paying much attention to it. Please, make an effort to absorb what I'm telling you. I don't appreciate you jumping to so many conclusions, and creating plot holes that I'm expected to explain.

Please, try to understand the situation that you're jumping into. If you don't understand, maybe look back at my older posts, or at least some of the recent posts in the IC. That still not working for you? Just ask me for clarification. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. Really. I am. I'd much rather answer your questions than let you make so many assumptions and create all these scenarios that don't make sense.

Currently, the situation is salvageable, just so long as you make an effort to understand the situation, and write up explanations and actions that make sense, and ask me if you still don't understand things.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Kaga said You know... you're allowed to look back at those conversations to make sure you understand their content before posting. :/

I know, and I just did cause it became apparent I mis-read some things.
But earlier I wasn't thinking in a "I don't remember ______, so I'll just wing it". It was that the memory altered a bit overtime, so although I thought I was remembering it clearly (therefore didn't think I needed to re-read the PM) it later became apparent/highlighted that the memory wasn't exact.

It would probably be accurate to say "I mis-remembered somethings".

Kaga said -Underground complex and why I'm there-

I should note that none of the "I'm just wandering underground, not part of the tribe itself" was mentioned IC, it was all in OOC. So technically speaking none of my hiccups on that aspect have been hard-coded/wired into the RP. So now that this hiccup has been detected we can easily address and fix it, without it actually having an IC impact.

So to answer the questions about why I'm there, if that case it would probably be a visiting thing. Grabbing supplies and/or maybe there's an that I need to pass through the underground complex to get to(I don't know the world layout/geography, so I'm going to have to ask if the underground complex actually leaves to other places like that, or if it's simply dug out tunnels that don't really lead to anywhere else).

If supplies we can say I was sleeping outside on the mushroom simply cause I didn't really like having to stay there any longer than I had to. If the latter we can say I was doing so cause I had already left and was on my way to the main destination (I never actually explain why I was sleeping outside yet IC, just that I was which honestly was for the OOC reason of being close enough to the other players to be able to take part).

[Kaga]

*nod, nod, nod* Yeah, all of that works, I think. As for the tunnel complex - all of it is part of the village. There are a few more openings to the surface, but all of them lead to the jungle above (they're all part of one RP setting, after all).

I know a lot of it can still be figured out OOC. The issue I had lied mainly with the sort of not-caring nature I got from it all as you kind of put off explaining/figuring things out. Speaking of which, where is your "main destination"? Might as well discuss all this now, while we're thinking about it. (Though I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep right now, so please tell me if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.)

Which reminds me: sorry for snapping last night.

So simply passing by to get to another location isn't going to be that valid then?
Supply grab it is then.

Being perfectly honest, with the combination of me having been distracted by other things for the last while (Both IRL and among other online communities) and that I'm not at all used to joining RP's mid-way (I make a point of strictly joining RP's from the get go unless if someone I know is already present in the RP) that I can't blame you for getting that impression.

Kaga said Speaking of which, where is your "main destination"? Might as well discuss all this now, while we're thinking about it. (Though I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep right now, so please tell me if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.)

Honestly? I was going to improvise that, that's generally how I do RPs (Both forum and tabletop), think of things on the go rather than have a set concrete plan/layout.
I personally find doing such planning event tends to start railroading the plot and leave less avenues to be explored, but that's more of a personal preference thing I've always done.
If this is an RP that wants more pre-planning involved I'm fine with that.

So in terms of main destination? I would imagine the town closest (once again, I lack OOC geography knowledge so I can't name a specific place) since my main goal has been to try to find other players and bring them together. So I'd be wandering through any place/area that people tend to gather in search of such people.

Kaga said Which reminds me: sorry for snapping last night.

Nah, you were in the right. :P
I was unintentionally giving a strong "I don't really care much about the RP" impression, which any roleplayer should get worked up about.
