Rotten Masks (WIP)

Sweet, sounds good. I also agree that a small group would be good for this especially if you wanna focus on character-to-character relations. Having a big group could take away from the quality of individual and group character development.

@Kidd

Yeah man thats totally what I was thinking, adding to that the fact that the rp is intended to start out with a fairly established community and I feel like small group is just a better way to go. Atleast starting out.

As of right now I am thinking on how all the characters meet/wound up together+where in the rp we should actually kick things off. I was thinking of setting it a year into the outbreak so things could have already gone to shit-but then that begs the question of what the hell our characters were doing for that whole year/how well established their little base is.

I mean there are a plethora of ways to deal with this, just wanted to talk about it with others.

[Kidd]

Ohh, I like that idea. But I also think it's difficult to start a RP where all the characters are supposed to know each other already. So maybe once the characters are all posted, we can establish some basic relationships (and add them to the CSs or not for reference) before the IC actually gets going.

Also for small groups, I think it helps keep interest if we have a chatroom going. I've used Chatzy and Skype for smaller RPs to discuss things OOC if you're interested?

[The Kraken]

I'm comfortable with the amount we have here, I think it'll make for a good starting size to all collab on. If you're wanting to have a tight-knit group to work on it with then I wouldn't exceed the 5 that are here, if there are too many then it'll make it hard for everyone to pitch in on the ideas and such. Just my two cents though, feel free to disregard it

@Kidd

Im down with using anything where I don't have to use a mic to talk things ooc (my gf gets all mad when I talk on a mic lol) so if you got anything in mind like that just leme know, Im totally down to talk.

I was also gonna say-what about the idea of starting the rp right as the outbreaks happening? This would solve the problem you were talking about but likewise presents its own problems to solve.

@The Kraken

Nah I totally agree Kraken, best to close things off now.

@Tuxedo Fox

Skype would probably provide the best platform for a group chat setting, its a little more reliable in my experience. I guess you'd have to take a role call on who all would be willing to do the collabing as well though, because then something else might suffice like Chatzy.

@The Kraken

Im honestly down with whatever you guys deciede-I have 0 expierence with iether. Only thing I've ever really used is what we used on that other rp.

[Kidd]

@Tuxedo Fox We wouldn't be using mics or vid or anything. Just the IM feature on Skype--I know mic chat can make some people (including me haha) uncomfortable when they don't know everyone else, so don't worry. So I guess when the OOC gets going, I can make a Skype group for us.

Definitely. Like it'd be slower to get into, I think. So I'm fine with anything and I think compensating for the whole "our characters are already supposed to know each other" is easy enough. Maybe if we bring it down from a year and make it a weekish?

@Kidd

I think thats actually a pretty good Idea man-maybe make it like two weeks or something for shit to have really gone bad, iether way though extending it down to only being less then a month in would probably be a good idea character wise for everybody.

[Tuxedo Fox]

Anyways Ill be back in like 30 minutes to an hour, gotta go out to eat real quick. Look forward to talkin when I get back. And if you want to set up a skype group or somethin guys go ahead-Ill join whatever group yall come up with lol

[Kidd]

Sounds good! I'll try to set up a Skype chat, but I'm at work and I'm not super good at navigating Skype on mobile ahahah. Worse comes to worse, I can make one tonight when I'm on my laptop.

[Amelian Draco]

@Tuxedo Foxseems like we have 5 now so I'm down for starting

[neogreggory]

I'm still here, no idea what I want to play, but I can confirm that at this moment I am still interested.

Granted my life sits on the tip of a needle right now and the slightly action or inaction could tear me away from this and everything else relating to anything, but let's ignore that minor fact.

[Kidd]

I know Tuxedo is working on writing up an OOC as of now but it may take a bit.

[The Kraken]

If anyone would like to join in on the skype chat we have goin, just shoot me a PM and I can get you set up with us

[Tuxedo Fox]

@The Kraken@Kidd

Just wanted to let yall know I got a bit up in the Skype

[Amelian Draco]

@The Kraken@Tuxedo FoxI might get a Skype

[Tuxedo Fox]

@The Kraken@Tuxedo FoxI might get a Skype

@Amelian Draco

If you are like me and are somewhat nervous because you have never used a skype (like literally, this is my first time ever even seeing it) go ahead ad ask Kraken for the link anyways-I was surprised to find out how easy it was to get in the chatroom.

[Amelian Draco]

@Tuxedo Foxit's more of I just got a laptop, how often will I use it, but I'll download it when I get home

[Tuxedo Fox]

@Amelian DracoI also thought I would have to download it or something along those lines-but literally i just wound up clicking a link, makeing a username, and then got put in chat. I think some newer cps (like mine and yours) might just have whatever you need to run it already on there.
