I'd meant it more as the 1007th had helos going about the general area of Chico, but you know what, that sounds smashing. Shoot me a PM. The dice system was going to be introduced in a fuller form later on, but maybe you and I can do a bit of practice with it sooner. Oh Fallen, brilliant!

Give me a bit of time, Blood is hitting some important story stuff and I've got many other replies I need to do as well but I will get it to you! As for me being brilliant, someone had to volunteer to be a test subject and I figured why not me? ^-^

I was in the process of joining this roleplay prior to the Fall of The Guild, so I feel it's only right if I check it out again and see if I can't try and get back into it.

Got my post up, which may or may not include the lyrics to the best song in the history of songs (note: explicit content, too many mentions of boobies and manly bits for childrens). I'm also going to need to be trying out this new dice rolling... thingy... right quick. Because zombies.

Glorious leaders of New Apocalyptica, Aweena and Shon, are taking applications via the super cool, down and dirty diary-like version that can be seen on Shon's portion of the OP under the "People of Apoc" section, which explains what they're looking for.

@Imagination: FreeFall gave you the best information. Go ahead and write up a CS based on the directions and submit it here on the OOC (former members did it in the Secondary Google Doc, hence lack of those posts). We'd love to see what you have thought up!

@FreeFall: Working on a Standard Model for situations where GMs aren't required. Had an idea before, but reworked it for simplicity's sake and might have something! Fallen will be posting using the model for the situation we're in (testing it for 2+ Players) and you'll get the honour of testing it for a solo situation. To be clear, things might change as we develop the model... but we're trying to make something easy and simple first for the normal conflicts. I'll send you the model and we can talk a bit about it (I know you just posted, so we have time ;]).

I'll try to get a post up tomorrow or that night, no promises.

[The Imagination]

Hm. When the bullshit subsides in my life i'll try and get into it. I just don't want to dedicate myself just yet and be too inactive :p

[Zombiedude101]

Got my first Coltrane post up a few days ago, hope it's up to par with what we've all had going so far.

[Aweena]

I've never heard that Hellfish song before, but it's somehow stuck in my head.

Ugh, life is just so needy like that : But we understand. It's better to take your time and make it great than rush when you can't fully commit just yet. Let us know if you ever need help with it.

Zombie, I just have to say, you have a nice writing style. I really enjoyed the flow of your post. 'Twas quite a good post indeed.

[Fallenreaper]

Yeah, pay no attention to the crap Remmy post. I'm still getting back into the groove with him once more. XD

I make a super good guinea pig; Real talk. Though if Cassie ends up getting eaten and I have to develop an entirely new character within two posts, I will straight up throat punch you through the internet. Just, you know, preemptive warning.

Aweena said I've never heard that Hellfish song before, but it's somehow stuck in my head.

Well, if it helps get it stuck in your head more, you should know that everything but the last verse is sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it." The last part kinda goes off and does its own thing. Feel blessed that you now know one of sacred hymns of the Flying Hellfish and have gotten to glimpse into the society of the awesome.

Glad you liked it. Dunno if anyone's noticed yet but I made a subtle reference to the TWD Comics. Anyway, is there a chance you could PM me what's probably going to be happening around Chico as the days pass? Just so I can get my next post prepped.

Crossover! But I never read the comics so I didn't get the reference. We'll pretend I did so I can feel cool. And yeah, I'll end you a PM shortly.

Has anyone heard from Firecracker? I may need to send that child a PM to see where he's at.

I'm still waiting on a pm from you Aweena... For a while as well as details for the Lacy and Abbie collab, .

Everyone who requested what we're using as a Standard Model should've received it last night. We've already started using it for 2 players and FF should be doing the solo test. Once she's got it done and gives any suggestions or points out big ol' flaws, I'll post it up and add it to the OP!

I hope y'all are talking to your comrades about Apocalyptica. I know I don't mind a small, healthy group, but I do know the joy of having a moderately sized bunch going off in all directions. Share y'all!

[Proser]

I saw the interest check about this booting back up, and I remembered thinking the whole thing looked pretty interesting. If you're okay with someone new to the Guild but not new to writing and RPing stuff joining on, I can give it a shot.

Post up a Character Sheet (check the OP #2, Bottom) and we'd be happy to give it a gander. We've tried to streamline the background and Act 1's IC, so there shouldn't be a gap for you to join up. We are a pretty patient group, so just be dedicated and have a passion to create and I'm sure you'll fit in very well.

[Proser]

Will do. Might have a couple questions, it okay to PM you instead of clogging thread?

I've showed at a few friends this link but most my Players and friends prefer the Casual sections. I think most Players think they have to reach a certain bar and length, you know quantity over quality type thing when it comes to Advance which me personally would rather a Casual size post with lots of interaction potential then a mile long post with little things I can play off.

Though this is Aweena's and Shon's call, depending on the questions it might be beneficial to post them on the OOC. Namely because some other potential PCs might have the same questions yet too timid to ask. It would also save having them end up repeating. Though it's really up to the GMs on this.

[ApocalypticaGM]

Everyone: Came across this wonderful flash fiction (600 word limit in this case) that I found very inspiring considering our genre. May well work this into a character sometime, if no else does first. Anyway, wet your appetites with 'Ink' by Jay Knioum, http://365tomorrows.com/02/18/ink .

@Fallen: I hear yuh, just noting this for all.

@Proser: You should've received a PM from me about an hour ago. Hope you can read past sarcasm, otherwise, this may be a very difficult transition ;).

I really liked that ministory, gotta say. I dislike the word "boob", however. I try to avoid it in just about every context. It just... it's very inelegant. Like, you have "breast" for when you need to mention one, and you have "tits" for when someone's talking about them. Boob is just... it's a very awkward word. It's fun to use it as an insult, though. Like, I will totally call someone a boob in casual conversation.

Can I come play with you guys? I've written stuff up for Acacia over the past couple of days, pretty isolated, but fun. At the time of me writing this, she's currently been bitten by a walker, is almost entirely naked, and is completely lost. Good stuff.

I've got no interest in GMing or anything, but I'd like to participate to some degree, if you're okay with that. At the very least, I'd like to be able to post when my muse hits me.

In any case, I'll write up something for Daryl in the OP in the coming days. He deserves to have something there, I've grown fond of him as a character.
