[OOC] Wink Murder

[Jig]

Well then, ladies and gents who've not yet sent in sheets, I'm going to officially call this: Get-Your-Skates-On-o'-Clock because I want to get murdered started. :D

[Gowi]

I do admit it is a bit weird not seeing a sample sheet for once; generally I try to base my standards off the example. But I'll manage.

[Jig]

Hopefully the guide should take you through it reasonably well.

If you've any questions, feel free to ask, and, as I say, don't be put off if I quibble some bits or ask you to be more specific in areas. I know (broadly) what I'm doing and what I'm looking for, but you don't - so if you don't get it 'right' first time, I'm not going to kick you out and set fire to your loved ones. :3

_Honest.

[Gowi]

I’ve got a bit of progress so far, if I had an estimate I’d say the CS itself is about half-done assuming you don’t want me to change anything. I just spent like an hour researching the early 20th century if that says anything, haha.

[Jig]

It says you're in the right RP. :)

Oh,

just a reminder to keep their eyes on the character tab. Established information will go in there as and when it becomes established so you don't have to trek through the IC to find necessary information. :)

[Gowi]

So... I'm in the RP then?

[Jig]

I would expect so (if you want to be). Everybody who has sent in a character sheet (or has said they will) are people I'm happy to have on-board, so as soon as the characters are thrashed out, the shenanigans can ensue. :)

[Wade Wilson]

Sorry! I was at school. I'll start my sheet now.

[AuntFlavia]

CS submitted and I'm excited. :D As usual.

[Wade Wilson]

CS is done.

[Jig]

Boom. We're nearly there. Check in the Character Tab for some more infos.

I'm still poking things around and I'll either ask somebody to start the game off or do it myself so don't let yourselves loose just yet. :)

IC is open!

Regarding the Mass Unguided Group Conversation of Doom, while I'm still going to avoid it at all possible instances, I have something that might be a solution, but I want to hear whether you like it or think it'll work - if you as a group don't like how I'm planning to run anything other than the plot, I want to know, and we can do it differently. It's your game as much as mine.

My proposal is that I open a new thread, which is a draft thread. In it, speed-post as much as you like with what your character does and says. I leave a time-limit on it (and schedule it so that everybody will be able to get online), and, after the time-limit, I take the whole thread and condense it into one narrative post. That way, we avoid speed-posting, everybody can get online and get stuck into one big group conversation and by the time it reaches the IC, it's legible and makes sense.

How do people feel about this?

[AuntFlavia]

I am 100% for that.

@Jig

I think it's a good idea.

[Jig]

Just a reminder: if you would like to talk to the Hostess, if you're confident you can write her dialogue (flirty, openly secretive, will not tell characters any useful information), be my guest. If you'd like me to supply the dialogue, feel free.

[AuntFlavia]

Posted! *dances excitedly* Let the mysteryness begin!

[ReaptheMusic]

Goin' on a date to a murder mystery dinner tonight not really, going to an arcade, but how cool would that be so I'll post when I have a minute tonight. Can't wait to start vuv

@Wade Wilson

This isn't a telling-off, but a valuable learning opportunity for everybody. :P

Please please please please please please read everybody's posts carefully. So, although only one person posted in the IC before you, there are actually two people and a hostess (and now the pessimist) there. Could you please take another look?

I'm not going to put huge bells and flags on everything that's important. When I start throwing clues in, they're going to be PM'd to people to include in their posts, so unless everybody reads everybody else's posts carefully, they're going to miss important details.

That and, obviously, to say that there's a woman there in the first post and then for the second post to seemingly be unaware of her existence doesn't make too much sense. ;)

@Jig

Well it all depends on his observance, really. That's kinda what I was going for, but I'll edit it if I need to.

[Jig]

Ooh. Well, if he didn't notice her, he didn't notice her. It just looks like she's not there at all. :P
