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.)

Just a heads up in advance:

I've decided that I'm probably reconfiguring an element of my writing style (specifically, how I write thoughts), and I'll be modifying all of my IC posts on the site thus far to make sure it's consistent. I'll let you know when it happens, if it does, just so there's no confusions. None of the context or dialogue itself will change.

Alright, cheers for letting me know. You've got a good reason, given what you've said in this post and the previous one. Since you're actually interested in it, I guess keep an eye on the IC whenever you have time. I expect things're gonna be quite the ride, and I've set a lot of things up there specifically to avoid spoilers for people who just want to observe. You're welcome to comment in the OOC if you like, and we've got a Discord channel which does have a few people who aren't players.

Now all we need here is for Gohan to come back.

Status update:

  • As stated in the last update, we're still waiting on Daniel's 'Private CS' to be finished up.

  • Lotus has arrived at the escort point, and has decided to speak to Lucia. At this point, we need to confirm if Lucia is responding or not before Henneth posts, because I don't think he'd be appearing immediately at the time Lotus spoke to Lucia. Apart from this, everything else is still on the same schedule as mentioned in my previous update.

  • At this point, I'd like confirmation about when Mathew and Sonya intend to arrive at the estate, and whether they'll be using the escort. I'm fairly certain Mathew isn't taking the escort, due to his horse, so in his case I just need to know what time he'll arrive there. I'd ask the same of Daniel, but he isn't completely registered yet.

  • Since you all likely didn't see this in the Discord channel, I'm bringing it up here. Since we've gotten so close to having the entire Major Arcana deck, I plan on filling in the last cards with more player characters of my own, to give us a full cast. Due to this, anyone who has any desire to make a second character should tell me now. If you don't want to, you don't need to tell me, but those who'd like to need to tell me within the next few days, because I'm starting work on the new ones. At this point, I don't suspect anyone else wants to, so I'm planning on going ahead with my ideas. Currently, Aewin has one in the work, and the only other people who've expressed an interest to do it had characters that are more suited as 'player NPCs'.

The majority tends to be bad because society in general has negative values and mob mentality/bystander effect are very real problems. It's still fucking annoying even if it can be explained, as you said. That's why it's important for those who're good to remain that way, and not end up joining the rest of the idiots.

I've got plans for how I'll back GRG up. I just need my PC to cooperate to pull them off.

With regards to your role-play, yeah, I'll wait until the interest check's up; however, keep in mind that when I offered my help I didn't mean it exclusively in the form of GM assistance or anything. Really, it could be as simple as helping you find a decent group or making sure that things don't have issues. Even if it didn't end up being something I'd participate in, I could still do that. It sounds like you've had issues in the past with finding devoted people, which has caused your discouragement.

In terms of GRG, I don't want to pressure you into joining or anything, but since you've mentioned you're interested in it, I'll tell you what I honestly think. I mentioned it with Ailyn too, and we're pretty much of the same opinion. If you don't think you'd end up quitting due to 'losing interest' reasons, then I'd say join up. In all honesty, with this many players the posting schedule might be a little on the slow side, though naturally I don't want things to get delayed needlessly and I did tell people not to let it sitting for longer than a week or something without a good reason.

If worst case scenario comes up and life gets in the way, it'd only take you logging onto the site for a few minutes and letting me know so we could come up with a way to kill your character off. I fully intend to kill off characters if their players end up holding us back, but doing so in a way that's more satisfying to the player will be my first option if the player actually contacts me instead of just vanishes into dust. Just my opinion, anyway, since I don't want to pressure you. Do keep in mind though that as it currently stands you're basically the final person I'm offering entry to, so I'd appreciate your final decision on this one way or another sometime in the near future -- within the next few days, if possible, because I'll be filling in the missing character slots with more of my own later this week. I'd like to have you with us, but I'm not planning to push for it.

Since we've already done all the approval phase for the 'Public CS' over PM. it's been accepted. I'll give you my response to the 'Private CS' shortly. I'm currently a bit slower than usual, due to my PC flipping out a bit on me in the last hour (which I mentioned in the last PM already, but yeah). I didn't lose anything too important, but I still might've lost a few minor things, so my mood's a bit sour.

Edit: You're good on the 'Private CS' front too, so apart from the comment I mentioned in the last PM, you're ready. Welcome aboard.

It's a piece of shit, yeah. As for how much data, I'm really not sure off the top of my head. A very large amount of pictures, music, and notepads.

No obligation to give names. Given how a portion of the people in my group are new to the site, some of whom only joined because of me, knowing there's three of them actually narrows it down considerably. Anyway, I always make a point of weeding out potentially flaky players, which is one of the several reasons for the extensive OOC and detailed requirements for character registration. No matter where you go, you'll find good people and bad people, honestly. This site isn't unique in that regard at all.

Actually, one of my plans is to back all of the information for GRG up somewhere off the site, so it'll be able to continue if this place fucking explodes again.

I'd have offered for you to jump in mine, but you clearly have a lot of stuff going on and I figured you'd already have asked if you were interested. When you decide to host something, I'll help out if there's anything I can do. I'd obviously have no idea if I'd get involved or not until I see what it is, but - as you can probably tell from my thread - I know how to make sure shit gets done and people do what they need to do. I'm also pretty good at picking members.

Working towards having it all backed up, yeah. It'll be a while until external drive's an option, because my current PC can't handle transferring information from USB to one of those, but I plan to do it as soon as possible, and I've bought one already.

Good to know you've had good experience with the group. I'm actually curious which of them you know. I'll be doing my best to make sure this role-play goes all the way until the end, yeah. Really does seem like role-plays dying is a constant norm on this site, and I don't plan to let that trend bleed over into my projects.

Interesting. I'd say don't commit to hosting a role-play until it sticks with you long enough that you know it's not gonna just get replaced by some new idea you have shortly after you start. I've been having the same mentality myself, which is why I didn't host a role-play until I found something I knew I'd stick with. This current role-play project being sort of connected to my main story means it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll be devoted to it.

@Raddum

Not too well, considering I'm recovering from a few new PC breakdowns since we last spoke, but also quite well thanks to the role-play I'm running on this site (even if actual work is moving slower because of managing said role-play), so kind of a mixed bag. I think the best way to say it would be that work is going worse, but the story's potential should I get the work done is improving.

How're you doing?
