[OOC] Six-Shot Story - An RP of the American Old 'Wild' West (On indefinite HIATUS)

[RoadRash]

Yeah. It'll pick up shortly. I'll mostly be around in the afternoon-times for the next few weeks though. Opening day of rifle season is Saturday, so my mornings and evenings will be once again spent wandering around with a rifle in my hands.

EDIT:
So I'm finishing up a story for my Creative Writing class, but if nobody posts by the time I'm done I'll probably throw down a short one of Bill arriving on the scene.

Right, muchachos, I'm pretty much going to be doing a three-day shift for work; what I need is for everyone - basically anyone who has not yet posted - to get a post up (at least one) by Monday. After that, I may well begin 'culling the herd' so to speak. The post doesn't need to be long, doesn't need to be amazing, it's more-or-less just so I know you're even alive.

So, that's that, and I hope to be reading some awesome Western-flavoured posts soon, before I move us along.

@Jbcool Phoenix and I have been working on one, things have been going kinda slow b/c they (I assume he because of the male character though) aren't too familiar with collabing. We should have something up by Monday though, especially considering how I finally have a break.

I don't really use a gender identifier when on the net just out of principle, and due to years and years of people consistently confusing my gender due to characters. Either way, I'll respond to 'she' or 'he'

But yeah, collabing is a new thing to me xD

@PhoenixWhite Fair enough.

You'll pick it up quick. The last group RP I was in relied heavily on collabs. It's a good way to get multiple character interactions.

I swear, Google Docs has been a real boon for us RP nerds.

Lovely post, @Sterling, I'll leave it up to the foreman if he wants to leave Benj with the nurse or not.

@RoadRash

I agree with this, it is great for the times when two characters have a back and forth conversation or fight. Or if they're closely interacting but it can slow down the posting process. I would not do it for every post, just the times it really needs to be done. Collaborating can also cut down on those introspective moments that solo posts are better for.

About Union forces in Laredo, there was a base called Ft. McIntosh which hosted the 2nd Cavalry. They were stretched very thin as most soldiers were on the frontier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_McIntosh,_Texas http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/forts/military.html

Just an FYI, I don't care if we ignore their presence or have there fighting unit out patrolling during this time of the raid.

[RoadRash]

That's cool.

I'm going to wait to post for a while, let others decide if they're coming along or not. If I do get a few short ones in, it'll be for conversational purposes. Rest assured, the Pain Train will not leave the station until all are aboard.

Posted.

[idlehands]

Welcome to the party.

[Antediluvixen]

@idlehands Took us a while but we got it!

[Jb]

@PhoenixWhite@Monochromatic Rainbow

Indeed, welcome to the party!

If you could hold off - as well as anyone else who gets to the river - from going anywhere just yet, at least until I get another post up. That'd be grand and appreciated; the morphine addict and nurse can carry on their chat though. :)

Excellent writing so far, everyone, I'm enjoying this quite a bit.

She climbed back up to her horse, turning to Adam, “I say we give it a little while before we ride off like knights in dusty leather, there’s probably a posse forming up already, we can meet up with them and guide them along the tracks.”

Sterling and I are working on a conversation collaboration to try and make things flow easier. I was hoping @Kingfisher would post soon so we could see what his lady was going to do as she is still in the medical office irrc.

@idlehands

YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!

I jest. I'll start working on something now.

[idlehands]

No I'm not, I also realized as Sterling and I worked on our collaborative reply that I had no idea where your characters were.

Edit: lol I can't wait to see what Bill thinks of that.

[RoadRash]

I'm doing some stuff-and-things right now, but later on I'll probably put out a short post just to get introductions going between Bill and Kingfisher's characters. I won't have them leave until you're ready for 'em, @Jbcool

[Antediluvixen]

Adam and Dahteste are just sorta waiting for the angry armed men to arrive.

Anyone wants to collab their meeting boop me.
