[OOC] The Rising Tide

[Platanus]

Better not to expect my post before Wednesday.

[jennifer lost the war]

No problem, Plat.

And nah, there's no script Kirra. If I really want something to happen, then I'll probably just PM someone and let them know. Don't see that happening anytime soon, though.

I don't like going to bed under the influence of alcohol. Is that weird?

Are you still alive, Vain? I only ask because your Skype name changed to 'Inactive Account' and I can't tell if it actually means your account is inactive or if you just changed your name to 'Inactive Account', which sounds like a pretty awesome way to troll someone I remember I made a clan on a free to play FPS game called '404Error' and the page to join the clan was literally a 404 error. Needless to say, the clan didn't amount to much.

How old is everyone, by the way? Just curious

[Rina]

Alright sounds good.

I'm a month shy of being 21. Hmm I'm curious to see everyone else's age.

[Platanus]

Would almost bet that I am your oldest. XD

[Ryver et Rhine]

=P Plat I doubt so...

I am pretty far along the age scale myself.

I am a dragon according to the Chinese zodiac.

[jennifer lost the war]

I was always the oldest when I RPed on other sites, so this is a nice change =p I'm 22

[Izkripp]

So far I am(since others haven't put age) the oldest. 24 here, turning 25 in a couple of months

[Platanus]

Come on, Ryver, it's up to you and me now. :D

p.s. If Platanus is too long you go on and make plane out of it, but with Plat it took me a long while until I understood I was being addressed to.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Plat! =D

<.< Dang it ... you shouldn't have told me a shorter name. I have a weakness for short names.

I'm 26.

Edit: I shall post on Wednesday if possible. Please feel free to post before me JLtW.

[Rina]

I know what you mean JLtW. I was usually on the upper end of the spectrum as well. However I'm liking the change of demographics here. Haha, it looks like I'm the baby of the group.

[Izkripp]

Im the middle child lol

[jennifer lost the war]

I'd rather wait for you Ryver, no rush.

I was on an anime-themed forum ( ) prior to this one and I think I was 17 when I first joined, but for some reason everybody was surprised to hear my age, saying I seemed to be 20. I think most people were like 14 and 15 years old there. Apparently I had an air of "maturity" and it's weird to try collabing when you feel like you're around kids. I had stumbled upon old guild soon afterward, but the advanced section was much more pretentious at the time, so I didn't stay around. I really like it here though, most members are pretty mature and even new members have experience in RPing under their belt.

[Platanus]

Bow before your eldest now!

I hear (read) you, Jennifer (or would the short version be »loser«? :wink ). The German forum I am in is also an anime forum, mainly populated by teenage girls with an unrealistic sense about life and although there are loads of RPs there, it is always hard to find a decent one, where people are also able to write neat German. (it is quite embarrassing when I as the foreigner among them correct their grammar or spelling.) Still I managed to find a couple of good groups, who have about the same perspective on RPing as mine.

Ryver, Platanus is just Latin for plane trees. Plat makes absolutely no sense!
You could also give me a name of your choice, I wouldn't mind.

[jennifer lost the war]

Platanus said I hear (read) you, Jennifer (or would the short version be »loser«? :wink ).

D=

Short for names aren't really supposed to make sense. It's just whatever is easier. I usually go by the alias of CaptainB00M on video games and a lot of people just call me cap like a bottle cap. Here, everyone calls me Jen or Jennifer when I'm a guy =) Perhaps I should think more carefully when I choose usernames.

[Ryver et Rhine]

You should definitely be careful! :P That's why I always anticipate the sort of nicknames I might be called before I create an account.

Like for Ryver ... there is Ryv or Ry. No one said Ver or Vera yet. :D

Anyway to me you will be JLtW! I feel weird calling you Jennifer. x.x

Sorry Platnus. Must have misread your post. Can you propose a nickname for yourself?

[Platanus]

I'll just go with the 1st thing which represents something I deeply care about and do not give much thought to what people might call me.

In a German forum we'd go on and call Jennifer lost the war »Addy« (-> administrator) or »Moddy« (-> GM) because Germans have this thing for abbreviating daily words. Example: Lappi for a laptop computer, Gebi for Geburtstag (=birthday), Eli for Eltern (=parents) etc.
But here we could get more creative until maybe he kicks one out. XXD

As to me: hit me with suggestions... but plat makes absolutely no sense. :P
...like plane would be fine, since it is the same thing - or people - after all.
A friend of mine calls me platypus, which is even longer but gives him a good laugh or smile.

Btw I'm already 30, in case anyone wanted to know.

[Ryver et Rhine]

=D Ooo I didn't know that about German. I used to learn it when I was younger. I want to brush up on my German.

@.@ Will you be my penpal? [over pm of course]

I like platypus to be honest. They are really adorable. I shall call you Perry then. Since that is a name of a platypus.

Not exactly something one would learn in language lessons. ^^

Ryver et Rhine said @.@ Will you be my penpal? [over pm of course]

np... but I am not German, only so that you know. ^^

That's a new one.
But ok with me.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Yay! Perry! =D

I will try to write to you in German later.

It would sound awfully weird though. =P

I am super rusty now. And my vocab is not good.

[Rina]

Yes, Perry sounds good to me as well!

Internet is back up for me but 3:30am is a little too late for me so I'll send it your way Cap (Hmm, it does seem to fit...) tomorrow after I read it through one more time.
