A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancΓ©, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancΓ©. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

This will more than likely put a significant delay in RP stuff.

No more significant than the delay already would be due to all the data I've needed to recover this last week. The PC started up again without any major problems for once, so I'm more or less in the same place I was prior to the power failure (which has, as you can all imagine, been fixed sooner than expected) happening, apart from my mood being worse.

Overall, things could've been a lot worse, but they could be a lot better too. Pretty much 'life', right?
I'm off to take a short nap, then I'll see if anything's happened. Later everyone.

@Shadow007

Yeah, I figured people'd have some entertaining reactions to her.

@Snagglepuss89

Suuuuure you are. Suuuuure he is.
@Shadow007

Glad to hear it. For the most part, my next 'GM post' will contain NPC activity for Aewin, Snaggle, and you, while the new NPC addition will be for Melo. In theory, I could post up Melo's part sometime shortly, but I figured it's best to wait for the reactions to Paula and then put it all together.

@Snagglepuss89

At the very least, I think everyone'll be paying very close attention to who Conrad seems to flirt with.
@Snagglepuss89

Lol, I'm pretty much picturing Conrad as the male equivalent of the gold-digger archetype thanks to you.

@Shadow007

Same here. I've actually got part of my next 'GM post' loaded and ready to go.
@Snagglepuss89

Okay, it's official -- screw everyone thinking we're giving Bonaparte a harem, because at the rate you're going I'd say Conrad's looking like the most likely cause of something like that happening.
@MayLien

'Public CS' and 'Private CS' approved. No worries about the holidays mate, since you got it done and it'll be good to have you with us.

Go ahead and post the 'Public CS' into the character tab, using this same hider. Welcome aboard. May your despair entertain me (lol, the fucking irony with that artwork).
While they're certain incomplete (we need to fix the zoom so they're consistent with each portrait), I think @Ailyn's done a good job of providing an example to get the ball rolling for discussion about this. Like she just said -- anyone who has a preferred colour for a border should tell us now, just in case we decide to use the circle idea. We'll be assuming that you want the primary colour your write your dialogue with - or your character's name - unless you stated otherwise, and we'll pretty much just fill in the blanks for those who've got neither. There's also a possibility the circles won't have coloured borders at all.

I figured I'd give an example of my own. Keep in mind that nothing about the way these looks are set in stone, because I only made them within the last ten minutes just to provide a quick example. I mostly just put together something that looked cool, without thinking about finalizing it. Keep in mind that I won't go along with the one that neutralized colour unless we somehow end up getting an overwhelming positive reception to it, since I think it'd be better if we maintain the colour of our characters in the portraits -- I simply thought I'd show it off because I did it randomly and thought it looked fancy.

I've had several other ideas, but no time to create them currently.

Status update:

  • Invitation Letters now has an entry in 'The Glossary'. Would've put it in there sooner, but I've had a very stressful couple of weeks. Sort of amazed I've managed this thread as well as I have all things considered.

  • The current plan's going to be to have the twelve character slots filled in 'The Cast' before this moves forward, and once that's achieved I'll likely post up a notice on the site using the status bar in order to let people know that they've got roughly a week left until this role-play closes application acceptance. Once that week passes, the official role-play will move underway and participating within the IC will stop being non-obligatory. This will likely result in a time skip (I won't do it abruptly and interupt any current character interactions -- I'll time this well), basically leading to all those who plan to take the escort posting themselves going to the appointed location.

  • Due to the immense workload on my end recently, recovering data due to my PC chucking a fit on me a few days back (I'm still not done recovering, and won't be for a long time, but should at least be able to get things manageable if I can get a few solid days/nights this week in where I can work without being sick as hell or tired as fuck), I've been unable to even start investing time into preparing our map, so there's no immediate rush to head to the escort.

    Nevertheless, I've been contemplating our portrait icons in more detail now. While people don't have a streamlined look for portraits in each 'Public CS' (which happened as a result of me giving you freedom in that regard -- technically not everyone followed the rule about making sure the portraits had completely accurate eye/hair/et cetera colour either, but I've ignored that), the icons themselves will need to be consistent in terms of how they look. With this in mind, I'm open to thoughts people have regarding how they could look. Standard procedure on this site seems to be to make them circles (though admittedly this is usually done for IC post header pictures, it seems), but I've also been considering something that looks like a more authentic portrait in order to fit the 'feel' of this role-play. If anyone has thoughts about any of the comments I'm making here, I'd appreciate you bringing them up in the OOC for me.
@Ori

Welcome to RPGuild. All the best.
@Aewin

Heh, yeah, no problem. Cheers for letting me know. It sounds like your homework's getting to you right now, even if it's a joke.

Edit: I'll be more or less just trying to work stuff out on my end, despite the sickness.
