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.)

Yeah, I more or less already explained to Tsu that you weren't trying to copy him. Seems the amusing situation of having two characters from Singapore basically just happened because there's two people on this site who know me that're both from Singapore. I told him that, but it makes sense you'd want everyone else to know. As for telling you about Tsu himself, I actually wasn't aware that I said much.

Anyway, I basically already accepted the 'Public CS' over PM, so I'll wait until I see the updated 'Private CS' before officially accepting the whole character. Don't post the 'Public CS' into the character tab before that, just because everyone needs to go through the same hoops.

I think the only minor comment I've got to make about the 'Public CS' is that I noticed you added his Anglican name into the 'Name' category now like I suggested. If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be listed as 'Shichimori Danieru, Daniel' instead of 'Shichimori, Danieru, Daniel'? The latter makes it sound like 'Danieru' is a middle name. I'm also thinking the hider the CS is placed into should probably be 'Shichimori Danieru, Daniel' as well. Figured I'd bring this up here, since there's no point wasting a PM on it and I'm pretty busy with data recovery.

Besides that, no issues with the 'Public CS'. I understand why the delay happened for you getting this registered, since you originally had a completely different character in mind and things with her sort of just didn't end up working. We probably could've discussed her more, but it was complicated.
@Heap241

Yeah, makes sense. Cheers.

I've already got a Google email account, so we shouldn't have an issue with this. I'll look into it when we get closer to the time that the escort collaboration will happen.
@Heap241

Alright then. Unless anyone ends up having a major complaint with us using this method, we'll go with Google Docs.

How do I go about creating a pad with it?
@Shadow007

My biggest concern is that I'm not sure if Google Docs has a text chat system or not, which is why I'm looking for more opinions.
@Ailyn Evensen@Shadow007

I'd naturally like to get everyone's opinions, but the idea in my head is that we'd probably use Google Docs. It seems to run easily enough on my shitbox of a computer, so I doubt it'll be an issue for anyone. I'm honestly extremely new to the idea of collaborations myself, but I think for such a big group of characters it's the most logical method of writing these kind of scenes.

Since this actually relates to later large scenes, those not involved in the escort point should be giving their thoughts too.
@Ailyn Evensen@Shadow007

Here's what I'm thinking:

Basically, we'd have a group collaboration pad created for everyone who's getting into the escort. From that point onward, people can check it out whenever they have time and if they have something they want their character to contribute (a thought, a bit of dialogue, et cetera) then they can tell everyone that on the C-box and the group can wait for them to put it up. Considering that the escort phase is likely gonna take a few weeks if we do it as a bunch of individual posts, I'm thinking the collaboration method would actually end up speeding it up in reality. It's not like we're planning to write it all up in one sitting, since we're essentially writing a couple weeks of posts into a single post just so everything flows together more realistically and people can interact with each other in real time.

If this method works, I'm planning on using it for other major events, such as the dinner that everyone will have with Bonaparte later on, and possibly the 'vote for the murderer' phases of the role-play. Basically, the escort phase will work as an experiment to see whether or not scenes involving a large number of characters can work more efficiently using this method.

Status update:

  • I'd like to get people's thoughts on something. I'm still working on recovering the PC work, but this thought came to mind again and I figured I should bring it up while I still remember. Alright, so I'm planning on leaving it up to you guys whether or not you use collaboration posts while waiting at the escort point to engage in interaction with each other. This obviously depends on whether or not your characters choose to speak to each other once Lucia isn't the only one there anymore.

    With this in mind though, I'd like people's opinions with regards to the escort phase itself. Essentially, once the escort picks you all up there'll be an opportunity for your character's to chat during the drive there. Would you guys prefer to do this as a bunch of posts from each of you or individual collaborations, or should we post it as a massive collaboration between everyone that I'll post? Everyone getting involved in the escort should give their opinion on this, but it's actually relevant to the entire role-play.
"They're still letting minors teach here...?"
@Raddum

Lol, fair enough.

Admittedly, I've been very busy this last couple months due to the big role-play I've started running on my own end, which is pretty extensive. Even so, I've still been interested in seeing how all these developments we prepared would end up going over.

From what I can tell, Gohan might've disappeared too, so hopefully that's only temporary.
