The latter. Go ahead and post if you want to!

So which pace should I expect from this game? A post every other day or, like, once or twice a week? This isn't criticism, I just want to know how often I Should check out the thread for activity.

@Thrashy: Your Race App is accepted, and you're welcome to start playing! I don't know about your organization, but I'm sure you'll think of something :)

You assume correctly! Awesome idea by the way :) And your Apps are accepted!

Hi! Your character is fine, and you can decide yourself if you want a picture or not. You will need to fill out the Race App to be able to play as an elf, though. Have you had any thoughts about an organization, or are you leaving that for later?

Well, this thread is dead. Signing out.

 **Welcome to Areapolis – City of Wonders!** This is a freeform adventure-in-the-city fantasy game where we take on the roles of the denizens of the greatest city in the world. You will have an equal hand in the creation of the city, as you get to create not only your own character, but a race, guild, temple or other organization (or all of them) – if you want to. There will be no central plot, other than the one you make up yourself. The possibilities are almost endless, confined only by a tiny framework of visionary guidelines. Also, the game is always open and anyone can join at any time. *** **First of all – What is Areapolis?** The greatest city in the world, some people call it. Others have given it less flattering names. Once the capital of an ancient empire, it lies at the crossroads of the world, where all the major land- and naval trade-routes collide. The huge river Area flows through it like an enormous life-giving vein, lending its name to the city. People from all across the world travel here to do all kinds of business, bringing exotic animals, goods and cultures along with them. It is the city of a hundred different languages, and a thousand different smells. Areapolis is ruled by a council consisting of the heads of all the major guilds and organizations in the city. Policies change with each coming day, and the balance of power shifts like the waves at sea. Defense and law enforcement is conducted by several different factions, often in direct opposition of each other. The city is the incarnation of chaotic life. *** **Secondly, the Visionary Guidelines:** - No unfair gameplay. Don’t godmod against other players, or try to ruin their creations. We’re doing this together, and it’s not a competition. - This is medieval fantasy. Leave the sci-fi at home. - Include people. Again, we’re building this together. Invite other players and connect your creations. - No trolling. A bit of fun and comedy is always welcome, but don’t go over the top. - No bullying. Name-calling and indecent language directed against your fellow players will get you suspended from the game. *** **Lastly, Applications:** You are free to create a character, a race and an organization for yourself. If you have more cool ideas, you’re welcome to apply them as well. Don’t go berserk, though. Leave some room for other players. See the Application Sheets below as the minimum-required amount of information needed to apply. You are free to flesh your App out with more info, or perhaps pictures, if you wish. Once your applications have been accepted, you’re free to start posting in the IC thread. **Character App** Name: Race: Gender: Age: Description: **Race App** Name: Description: **Organization App** Name: Description: *** **Good luck and have fun! I’m looking forward to playing with you!**

And you've missed the point of TWD completely. It's not about surviving without modern tech, that's just part of the setting. TWD is about human nature, human relations, and that a crisis forces the best and worst out of people. The one thing you learn from reading or watching TWD is that the real threat comes from your fellow humans, and not the walkers.

Hate to do this, but there is a fatal flaw in your argument. The middle ages weren't like that at all. Times were hard all right, especially in wartime, but nowhere near the terror of a zombie apocalypse. Man, you make it sound as if we're lucky to have survived the dark ages at all as a species, but we were never endangered. Civilization flourished up until the black plague, and then again after it. The tech back then might not've been like what we have today, but people weren't idiots. There were huge cities filled to the brim with people, and a fairly inhabited countryside to boot. I mean, shit, if people were falling over themselves to kill each other, then where did all the great buildings of old come from? The palaces, the fortresses, the monuments? People could forge tools from iron and wage pretty advanced warfare against eachother. There were systems for government and taxation. Nations had diplomatic relations, and sailors traversed oceans to explore the world. Your opinion, my friend, appears to be severely misinformed. Imagine, for the people back then, if the shred of civilisation disappeared in the horror of a zombie apocalypse. Imagine what seeing the dead rise would mean to the pious people of the world (and during the first prophecised Second Coming, nontheless!). Imagine having the last safe place you know of eradicated, and being forced to live in the wild as a hunted animal. That shit would be scary regardless of what era you lived in. This game isn't getting of the ground, I can see that, but I'll be damned before I let some smug little shit like yourself try to tell me why my thread failed based solely on his/her inadequate knowledge of european history. So, sincerely, gtfo of my thread.

I think it's ok.
