All right, I'm REALLY f***ing confused, so somebody better explain... I want to get in on the RP action here!

Man I wanna play in the RPG so please tell me how!

oh, god, it's kind of hard to explain... have you ever done an add-on? well, this is like that, only bigger. in case you haven't done an add-on, what we do basically is that we each have a character [or two, but one is best, with maybe some Supporting Characters], and we post little bits of storylines, weaving our characters into a story together. we used to have stats, but we ditched them for being too complicated.

i'm sorry, but i'm not that good at explaining things. the best way to learn is just to watch, although this is kind of a dry period, as most of us have just started school, college, or jobs again after the holidays, so we're just getting used to having work to do. it should liven up before too long, hopefully...

oh, i should point out that the Death Matches, the Gladiators, and the Situation RPG are separate to the main RPG. if you want to know about those, you're best to ask within the topics, as i don't interfere with them. they could be saying 'Rettick Smells Bad' a lot, and i'd never know...

Hey uhh...which RPG is the main...I rilly wanna get into the action!

Sl'askia · #6 09-07-2001, 02:34 AM

everything else other then the topics Rett mentioned is the real RPG.

To be honest...I'm not sure if you can have a scrab as a character...I would say that your character has to have intelligence and the ability to speak...but I have a supporting character that barely fits that. Um..Rettick...could you clarify this?

Danny · #7 09-07-2001, 07:11 PM

well, i think that is the general rule, but i suppose we could try just this once, as a kind of experiment... like i let you guys have the gods in that one time, you know?

neemis · #8 09-07-2001, 11:30 PM

Yah! Hmm...shouldn't be so cheery, I'm a Scrab! N E ways...do ya have any suggestions on how I could start considerin' I'm a Scrab and I can't like, start out in a factory and I havent found anything going on out in the wild so just needed some help on dat

Danny · #9 09-08-2001, 11:19 AM

i'm not really sure, to be honest. i have an idea, but i'm not too sure about that either. do you have MSN Messenger? if you do, it would help a lot...

Danny · #11 09-14-2001, 09:43 PM

you're welcome, it's what i'm here for...

Gluk Schmuck · #12 09-16-2001, 01:27 PM

can i ask a question?

everyone: NO!

when you're writing an RPG can you say what other characters are doing or can you only do your own???

Sl'askia · #13 09-16-2001, 02:46 PM

you have only limited control over other ppls characters. You can have them say and do basic things, but nothing complex unless you have the player's permission and know the character really well.

Gluk Schmuck · #14 09-16-2001, 02:54 PM

thanks...

super_slig · #15 10-05-2001, 07:21 PM

Umm... I know I'm not a newbie, but, can you use the same character in two independent plots? ex. Can I use Twyla in one topic as well as in a different, independent plot?

Sl'askia · #16 10-05-2001, 08:25 PM

you could try...but i myself wouldn't recommend it...as it could get confusing for not only yourself but to others as well...
