http://animustop50.gotop100.com/lists/animustop50/custombanners/u276.jpg My Review: Hey, I’ve been using this site for writing for a few months now and have been enjoying it quite a bit. The setting is an enclosed system, so all new characters start out fresh to life. This sounds like it could be a...

*hides liquorice to throw candy detector off the trail*

That moment when you're halfway through the post and you realize your character would react quite a bit differently than you originally took into account. Yeah, interacting with a telepathic character and completely didn't connect two and two at first that schizophrenic unicorn gets major PTSD sympt...

I don't know, just saw a comic today that I thought some of you might get a kick out of so I borrowed the title from that old thread.

Two words: pink unicorn (link)

Not sure if you'll be on today, but I shall add to the well wishes being broadcast from this little corner of the internet

Hail!

Happy birthday, fearless leader

I'm not so sure about the "PM every player" part, seems like if there were enough people on either side it could quickly become frustrating to both sender and receiver. Why not do something similar to Blackback's old shop where there was a single thread, perhaps stickied if it becomes offi...

I know it's a bit wishy-washy, but I imagine a lot of those concerns might be able to be addressed by treating situations with a human perspective rather than relaying purely on the letter of the law. For plot characters we'd probably want to go with the convention of 'if it's been directly used in ...

I know how you feel about that one. Two of my characters from on old site I was on ended up being completely opposite from how I thought they were. Feral wolf characters, brothers- one being an asocial theif and one going behind and trying to help those who he'd stolen from. Discovered later on that...

Okay, you officially have me convinced- you have a great group.

Vizir, I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed... everyone knows that the pathfinder ninja beats out the rogue class hands down in terms of flavor, ability, and options

*stares blankly* Wow... that was... an amazing and detailed assessment. I can see why you were mentioned by name dd! I can definitely see your point on character limit, rules, reporting, and tier system. The more rule structures we have in place the greater our barrier to entry. May still be good to...

The tier system should probably be more of a guide than a rule, and each tier can be a bit wobbly. If we're tying to avoid "better than you" syndrome we might consider calling them power categories (A-E). In the end it mostly boils down to abstractedly less powerful than an angry NPC (5/A)...

That's a pretty good idea, Lanadyr. I imagine a setup like that could also increase plot participation. I imagine it'd be a bit intimidating to participate in a plot thread if you have no idea how your character would be able to survive when fighting along with Gunsy McRadiationhazard. By the same t...

I had some extra time today between compiling for work, so I made up a proposal for a power-level guide. It'll probably need to be tweaked as it was mostly off-the-cuff writing, but hopefully might help at least organize thoughts on the matter. _______________________________________________________...

I posit instead that an Edge mod reviewing a character should take a full view of the characters abilities and weaknesses and determine with their own judgment how powerful that character appears to be. If a character is so powerful that a well-trained medieval human swordsman would have no conceiv...

Would be pretty interesting, eh? Nightwolf and I are in the general Nashville area so for mountains that's pretty much the most convenient place for us. Frozen Niagra does sound like it'd be a pretty nice tour, definitely will have to take some time off at some point to head up that direction.

I don't think we've hit mamoth caves before, but that would be a great place to check out. Gatlinburg is one of our favored spots as well, just wish had a bit more endurance to really enjoy the trails. We're working on it though

I'm going to second the note about long intro times. Alas I feel that may be part of the reason I've never really been able to join in the main part of the site too much- having had some poor luck with joining threads. Sometimes it was due to slow response of others involved in topic, sometimes due ...

Nightwolf clued me in recently on the idea of rebooting the storyline of the site, which in turn reminded me that it'd been a bit since I checked in (and no worries Keltres, working on the Nameless picture even if I got intimidated by design for a little while). I was thinking of slightly redesignin...
