It kind of gives it a sitcom feel, I like your stuff here so far ^^

and I like that you included Mim

Thanks.  I had to give my char of the tourist someone to talk to, and wanted to rp Mim better to get a better feel of her personality.  And with the tourist I have more freedom then if I had done the doctor.

With the world going to be destroyed, sadly, the tourist would go.  He'd not want to stick around and have perhaps Mim or himself get injured.  Oh well.  I do have to let the characters do what they would do.

Post by: Nick22 on December 01, 2007, 04:47:31 PM
my characters immortal, and besides the cafe is on time rift which would protect it against the destruction of the outside world. the cafe would literally become a tiny world, floating in space..
Title: Discussion: Insane Cafe
Post by: Kor on December 01, 2007, 04:52:34 PM
I don't do immortal characters, and likely the tourist does not know of the cafe's safety.   No reason he would now of that.  And as I said, I have to do what the characters would do.  Besides, if he did someone how know he'd be stuck in the cafe cut off from his tardis.

Post by: Nick22 on December 01, 2007, 05:03:54 PM
Just be clear My character's not a god, he's doesn't knoe everything, nor is his power limitless..  He just happens to very skilled at magic, much like Gandalf,. i like your sig of gandalf, by the way...

Post by: Kor on December 01, 2007, 05:53:23 PM
Thanks.  I had no picture to upload so had to go through the ones available here.  I liked this one the best of the ones there.

My tourist character is about the same power level of the doctor.  A good right cross would likely knock him out like it would the doctor.  Though he has handy gadgets most of them I would not use in a serious rp, like the cosmic rod.  I enjoyed the rp, sorry I had to leave it.  Though being a straight man type in rl I had run out of the guffy stuff my char could have said.

I'm not to silly myself.  I'm pretty much a straight man.  Though I guess it's good the tourist left since I'd run out of ideas.  Guess it was a good coincidence the world got destroyed at that point.

Post by: Kor on December 01, 2007, 06:40:26 PM
The tourist certainly thinks so so it's entered in whatever computer his tardis has that that specific time quardinate after that time is unsafe.  The character would do that.  I don't violate what the char would do, unlike most of the folks I have encounted who rp in rl and on mushes/mux's.

there are alternatives.. such as initializing text, bold, or underline. though quotation marks are a necessity when having dialog in a story. No matter who the character is.

I suppose you could also use brackets (like how they use them in comic books when translating a certain language into readable forms)

Just my two cents

Unfinished rp, brings up another maybe idea.  If some folks who started them are still here maybe they may want to restart them, or pick up where they left off, since there may be more rp folks here then before.  

Also others may want to start an rp based on the same ideas the unfinished rp.
