[OOC] The Rising Tide

Sounds good

[Ryver et Rhine]

Hey all! I will post by next Monday. I promise.

>.< I have a few CS-es I have to submit for my ongoing rps. It has left me dry in terms of inspiration.

I want to create something more detailed this time round.

Oh whoops, I didn't think about PMing you the character sheet to you for approval Cap and since there isn't a delete button, I'll leave it there and work on it from there. If there's any suggestions you have or any questions, feel free to tell me.

Hi,

sorry people, been busy the past days and could not make it, somewhat behind my studying plans. I'll try my best but can't promise anything before Tuesday.

Looks awesome, Kirra

You're taking summer classes, Perry?

Anyone do anything fun for the 4th of July? I was right by the Brooklyn bridge where they had the big fireworks show in NY. First time I've been that close to it before and will definitely do it again next year.

I am one of the last relics of the German diploma, a much greater academical system than BSc/MSc if you ask me. (actually, great instead of greater, since BSc and MSc do not make much sense in many regards.)
And for a Diplom we have these giant oral exams we have to take on subjects of 3 to 4 semesters. It is a huge workload but one hell of a ride, since we get the chance to see and learn everything from a better perspective and become better familiar with the bigger picture.
I also discovered that I have sort of an exam phobia (never had it back in highschool or with my first studies), constantly feeling like I haven't figured out anything at all... which happens to be a really common case in our field and actually the healthy attitude, but I unfortunately can not cope with it well, so I do three to four times more work than a statistically random student.
But of course all the crazy things one learns on the way make it much more than worthwhile.

Well, at least your phobia keeps you on your toes. I'm too cocky =) and it doesn't help that a lot of the time I'm rewarded for it.

[Platanus]

Did I mention the fun? That most of the time I am entertained to highly mesmerized like a child who has been granted entrance to the craziest theme park ever? Sure, one gets tired of running, one gets hungry, thirsty and has to pee but it is still so thrilling. (not to mention that it IS what I wanted to do when I grow up)
btw with us you would not be rewarded for being cocky, believe me... unless you can back it up with work. ^^

[jennifer lost the war]

haha, well I'll do my best =p

By the way, you guys may or may not have noticed that a lot of IC posts have disappeared. seven and Am briefly returned to edit all their posts to be removed, so I requested for a Mod to have them officially removed (they're technically hidden, which is why the total IC post count hasn't changed). Just letting you guys know.

Also Vainvalium has been removed from the RP

[Rina]

Alright, thanks for the heads up Cap. I'll start working on an intro post within the next few days and will have it up after someone else has posted. Haha I rather not put up a double post on the IC.

[Ryver et Rhine]

o.o that is awesome! I didn't know that could be done.

[jennifer lost the war]

Yea, as long as author of the post gives consent, the mods are okay with it.

[Ryver et Rhine]

Finally posted.

I hope it gives you guys a little more to work with. I decided to reveal a tiny detail about my future plans for my characters.

That said I have a very strange idea for J-P's wife. ;)

[jennifer lost the war]

Are the soldiers in your post supposed to be Gilgamesh's men or some random soldiers elsewhere? I only ask I think you referred to him as "the boss" toward the beginning and then use the same words to describe the person the soldiers are trying to contact.

[Ryver et Rhine]

I assumed it would be Gilgamesh's men. =P But I decided to leave it vague just to be safe. Frankly I don't know if his men would feel comfortable referring to him by name.

[jennifer lost the war]

I know they're disposable and not really important characters, but I still wouldn't get too specific with how they react to your characters and I certainly wouldn't give them names if I didn't. Attacking them and stating or implying how much damage was done to them is one thing (and okay), but giving them quotes, several specific actions and names should be left to me. I would edit to just say how they generally reacted to the attack, like they screamed and/or started firing. Also, Gilgamesh only has 5 soldiers under his direct control, so they would all be very close together and wouldn't need to ask for coordinates.

I'm all ears... erm, eyes! I still can not afford a break before I am through with Bohr-Sommerfeld, though. I'll decide according to my energy level then if I go on with studying or catch up reading. ^^

[Ryver et Rhine]

Hi JLtW! I just sent you a PM. :)

I hope it clears the air. I finished editing it a few minutes ago. So would be great if you can refresh the page.

[Platanus]

I have NEVER had such homogeneously distributed paragraphs! I feel deterministically distorted...

[Ryver et Rhine]

Nicely done. Hey guys I wont edit and do a new post till Sat.

SORRY!

>< I failed an assignment and I needa redo it.
