OOC Chapter 3 Lone Wanderers

Oh my dear god! I have 7 pages of IC to read to get back up to pace. Let me see, that should keep me busy for atleast 5-6 hours or so.

Well, i finish college at 12:30 (half day :)) so by 5 or 6pm tonight i should be able to make a post. Thats if my eyes can still stand staring at the monitor. I'd print a copy out to read but i don't think my printer would be able to take it never mind the ink cartridge.

I just emailed Reaper to find out what's up. Seems like most of the folks are back as are new folks. Will post tomorrow (just got in tonight).

PS- Rogue- I love the signature. Where did you find it.
 
The actual writing or the Star-Wars emoticon?

Most people mean the Star-Wars thing... :), which i got from a forum used by my college! They have one hell of a lot of smiles on there, especially animated ones and this is one of my favorites.

And if by any chance you meant the writing then i can't really remember where i found it. I think its Fallout related but can't remember where from.

Anyways, i'm nearly through reading most of the old posts. I guess i underestimated how much there actually was to read.

Well actually the chapter is almost finished. Gunslinger has a few things to work out and his characters are to get to Grey Cliffs a bit before the rest of us (correct?).

We have a large encounter coming up that involves the reintroduction of horses into North America.

Sorry I was away for a bit and only now am getting the story back on track.
 
Well, finnally cought back up. It only took like all afternoon :?

Just like to say there has been some good reading. There have been funny good moments, very exciting moments and moments full of suspense. The one where Marcus spills everything was mint. Had me on the end of my seat!

Oh and Welsh, you canabalistic monster!

Sure do, but most of it has already been done. Relay when you think the chapter is nearing an end.

Anyway, my last post, short as it was, took me by surprise. I had originally intended to just describe the Blade warband assembling to save the captured Blade elders but, as it tends to do, the writing started developing a mind of its own. Now, Kino has some doubts about the course of the war.

Welsh and I have been PMimg back and forth on what should go on in the story for quite some time now but I think it would be good if we just posted our plans in public so that other players can contribute. What say you, welsh? If not, I'll send you a PM with a few of my ideas.
 
I know that i haven't been around for some time and that its really up to you guys as you are the reins steering this show but i wouldn't mind hearing a little of what has been planned.
Just to have a slight idea but not too much to take out the surprise which you may or may not have. hopefully the former.

But like i said, its up to you guys and i won't complain if you decide not too. It just leaves a little more to the imagination.

Oh, nice avatar Gunslinger.
 
I agree with Rogue- nice new avatar and I think its a good idea to share plans. I had been reluctant to do so because:

(1) Didn't want to spoil suprises
(2) I was a bit worried that this might change the way the characters behave or act.

For example, there is a spy within the caravan. Who that spy is- I have some suspicions but am not going to reveal that as it might spoil a suprise.

I think its very hard for the writer and the character to distinguish themselves. The writer should have a lot more information than the character, and that includes where the story is going. That said, more information might leak into the story way before the character would realistically even anticipate.

Furthermore, its nice to innovate and mix things up. The entire Trogtown episode was spontaneous. I had no plans for that at all. I just thought we needed some action and I wanted to distract us a bit from the rather odd murder in the Rift.

The Plague was planned. The university was not. This was basically Sander's idea after we had PM'd a bit. The train station was also planned.

The next major part involves the running into the DeSilva clan, who is running away from the Oprezki. This will lead the caravan and our characters with the first real engagement with the Oprezki.

But what happens in Grey Cliffs I am leaving up to Gunslinger. The lay out has been mostly of his construction. Chapter 4 should concern that battle.

Chapter 5- I am not sure. It might have something to do with Red Waters, it might have to do with the Reactor. It might involve a battle with either the League or the Oprezki. It could deal with negotiations with the Blades or Slayers and a bit of politics there. Not sure what Chapt 5 will be.

After that, move the caravan to Grey Cliffs. Maybe an encounter in between.
 
I'm planning on Syphon to stumble onto one of the mysterious scouts, while he is thinking alone in the desert. I guess, he can interigate the scout and try and stop an ambush or something from happening. I dunno, is it a good idea?
 
While I think this is a good idea, the problem is that the scouts are about a mile or more away from the caravan and on the crescent ridge of a hill. YOur chance of spotting them would be unlikely, catching them even less.

Better that he pick up another stray with perhaps a more interesting story.
 
WHy not create a new NPC. The think with SYphon is that he's still fairly undeveloped as a person. Create an NPC with which Syphon can relate. Perhaps another refugee who has a story to tell. Perhaps another spy. Perhaps a ghoul who is feeling left out or something. Syphon is kind of without a buddy right now, so create one.

Let your character's story evolve the way you want it to, but try to stay consistent with the story. That doesn't mean you can't create stuff. THere is no reason why this story can't go off on new tangents or side stories not yet found.

Create some new dimensions to the story, take it where you want to. You don't have to follow the leads I give you but create your own.
 
I'm interested in joining the next installment of this fine Roleplay. Could someone give me a bit of a run-down of the events?
 
Well Maverick-

Probably the best way to get up to snuff fast is to read the chapter summaries for 1 and 2 and then read this chapter- which basically is a long caravan trip to provide supplies to an embattled town (althought we don't know the town is under seige).

If you want to get in, please do so. I have heard from one of the characters that he can't play for now. So you can play his character in the interim. Or you could come up with your own. Post a character that seems consistent with the story and we will plug him in.

This chapter is nearly over. THe next one will concern a big battle. So now is a good time to bring your character in.
 
Folks, I just got this word from Reaper-

> I only got back onto the internet today as I have been
>waiting for my computer to arrive at my uni. I tried to
>log onto the site today but I couldn't access it.
>
>Sorry, but I'll keep trying.

SO it seems the boy is currently out on technical difficulties but will be joining us soon. Lets keep our fingers crossed. We've been missing him.
 
I am cutting and pasting the discussion on Psychosniper's entry here, and removing it from the ICC board for the sake of clarity and interruption.

Please note the discussion-
or not.

OOC: ..... What the pygmys?? Okay, PsychoSniper, first of all, you should've revised your character, you should've posted that, and you should've at least notified welsh, and gotten his permission, to post here. This is just incredible, I propose that you delete it, read the problems people had with your character, revise it(preferably just create a new one), and THEN ASK whether you can come in.

OOC: That still doesn't take away the need to at least ASK for permission, and to wait until people have posted their thoughts about your character. As well as that, you posted here first, and THEN proceeded with revising your character.

Uhm...

OOC (I suppose? Ehehehe): if you guys want me to cut off the tail off this thread I will, but I suggest you just freeze the thing right here and let welsh deal with it when he gets back.

welsh said:
OCC- Hmmmm......

OK, here's the deal- Psycho. Move these back to the OCC post for now and lets continue to flesh out the changes before we incorporate you into the role play.

ANd folks, lets not forget, a person can easily be killed off if he doesn't fit in.

OCC-

ANother thing, I don't want these OCC's clogging up the ICC board. SO I am going to delete them in two days, giving Psychosniper a chance to read.

Remember OCC, for management, ICC for the story.

Also, I will make some changes to make this fit. That, or let Gruug stamp the crap out of Marine just on principle. Pscyhosniper, the points above are valid. There are some rules of courtesy, informal as they may be. Please make the changes.

Oh and Gunslinger, as new Mod, you may do with this as you think fit.

and folks, I don't really care for this kind of moderating, so please
Write in the ICC with minor OCC accepted.
Save the OCC for discussion of the story itself.

Cool?
 
Heres an idea were to go after the upcoming battle.
My characther is a milatary guy that basicly in stasis since the war.
Why not have him remember a secret military base that should still be stocked with supplies.
The group goes there.
meats some yet unknown enemy group that is packing power armour and all kinds of tech stuff.

/ just a thought.
