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.)

A massive collab sounds good, though I guess Lucia might not join in with some of the conversation unless someone strikes something up with her. Cool idea though!
Aewin

She's quieter, like Rein, so it makes sense. Still, it'd be possible for her to internally react to things, and for all you know someone could get her excited by bringing up baking or something.

(Kept Indra in the group notification for the same reason as last time -- they're working on finishing up their character.)

Status update:

  • Seems like the group's pretty much universally in favour of using the collaboration idea, so we'll be going with it unless someone has a problem and states it. I expect people to be keeping up to date with the OOC (as stated in the rules), meaning that anyone who ends up having a problem with using the collaboration idea yet didn't state it has no one but themselves to blame.

  • Those of you with any ideas for second characters (a couple of you've mentioned it, though in one of the cases we've discussed that it might be better off as a 'player NPC' instead) are free to bring up questions (either publically or privately) they might have involving them, and should work on getting them ready. I'm not completely closing applications to the public until the recovery from the computer breakdown's finished, but you guys should assume that you will get priority over other people who try to join from now on. Also, the player character applications completely close once we reach a certain plot point. The player character cap's actually twenty, but we don't need to fill that roster entirely. Just know that you guys get priority since the February 5 deadline did get hit. So long as he finishes his character sheet soon-ish, Indra's the exception to this.

  • While I've gone out of my way to try and not pick cards for people until I was certain they were ideal, there might need to be minor reconfigurations depending on what we get in the endgame here. Thankfully, no one has even really hinted at what their card is IC. I've just been thinking that giving out the cards in advance like this wasn't the best idea, so I'll do a bit of analysing once I know we've got the entire group accepted.

@kumaashling

Welcome to RPGuild. All the best, and hope you have a good time.

Welcome ;)

I can't improvise if you don't give me any material to work with. It's boring to just warn people.
@tsukune

No problem, and makes sense. I probably should've said ''Name' category' instead of 'real name' in that quote.

@Indra, you should probably use this suggestion and make your hider 'Daniel Shichimori'. As for the 'Name' category, use a method similar to what was suggested above. Whether it's above or next to the initial name, putting it in brackets makes sense, especially since Snaggle did that with Conrad.

As for the collaborations, it shouldn't be an issue at all until we reach the estate, and all it'll really mean is that the role-play will move a little slower during that time period (maybe), but considering Rein's a bit on the quiet side anyway I picture him not talking so much and more just thinking about what other people say, unless spoken to directly. This means you won't need to 'interrupt' conversations that're going on much. In regards to how you'll be going to the estate, it's between you and me so it should run smoothly enough -- I'll be a lot more efficient with collaborations once my PC work isn't as bullshit as it is currently.

I don't plan to make collaborations a constant thing, but I figure they're useful during scenes where a large number of player characters are present.
@tsukune

I already understood that one was the English spelling and one of them was romanji -- I've got enough understanding of Japanese to know that, especially considering I've sorta done this with characters in the past myself (and seen anime characters with names written like this). My question was strictly about which of the names made more sense to be put into his hider, because presumably making the hider for his name 'Daniel Shichimori (Shichimori Danieru)' is a bit unnecessary?

In theory, for (spoiler) reasons you won't be involved in the escort, so this first collaboration won't apply to you; however, I don't see a problem with you not being on at the same time as the rest of the group, since the entire point of having a large group pad with a text/note feature is so people can check it regularly and leave a comment if/when they want people to stop until they have time to add a contribution they have in mind.

Edit: Perhaps his hider looking like that could work anyway, since Snaggle did something similar for Conrad.
@tsukune

Yeah, admittedly the similarities are a bit unusual, but no more so than the fact that Bonaparte's only invited Caucasians and Asians to the gathering. Ultimately, it's not outside of realistic possibility, so I don't have a good reason to deny it.

So, basically you're thinking @Indra makes his hider as 'Daniel Shichimori', and then puts what you suggested as the real name?

As for the collaboration, I don't have an issue using a different option if it runs smoother for people, but I think that having the ability to use a text chat is important for us to collaborate properly. Since the entire group isn't currently part of the Discord channel, it's probably not a reliable place for us to 'chat' in correlation to the pad. What I'm thinking is that so long as people check the pad semi-regularly, they'll always have the ability to leave a comment if/when they want to add something to the post.

I'm open to discussions for how to make these larger scale collaborations work efficiently for everyone.
@MayLien

Alright, cheers for that. Sounds like it's mostly everyone in favour of giving the big collaboration a try.

@Indra

Sounds good. No problem. There's still a fair bit of time before my PC work is dealt with anyway, but I'll keep an eye out for you fixing the comments I made involving the name in the 'Public CS' and I'll be waiting for the PM regarding the 'Private CS'.

Have a good rest.
