Alright: My Character's Name is Boris. Borus is around 6'3, has brown eyes and hair, and is a crack shot with a gun. Assignied by the government to evacuate the civilians, hee will find that is not an easy task.. and trying to get everyone out alive will take every bullet he;s got, and a lot of luck...
( Brief intro, but I'll add more later)

What you have is okay so far.
In any case...anyone else? I guess the role-play will start once we get five people signed up.

Can I have a scientist in this RP?

Can I have a scientist in this RP?
Yeah, they're acceptable...but I'm not quite sure what benefit(s) they'd have...
-
Ok. And one of the rules don't make any sense. Is there or is there not blood and gore allowed?

Oh, I just saw that. Sorry, I wrote it while it was still pretty early in the morning. Fixed the spelling mistake.

So we've got 3 so far. personally I don't go in for excessive blood and gore, So any violence I engage will be restrained. If violence serves the storyline then so be, But violence for violence's sake is poiontlesss imo...

I didn't expect excessive blood and gore - just a little bit. And I understand about you being restrained and all. But granted, since we have prehistoric creatures of all shapes and sizes running around, there's bound to be a bit of carnage.

Naturally rat.. ... and well... if we can get two more people to join, great.. If not.. I've done rolepalys with three people. In fact I have a rolepalying going with another poster(threehorn), and it just the two of us. The Rp has gone on for nearly 300 pages... :P:

Holy cow! Really? That's surprising. Well, now that I've re-read what I've written, I've realized that I wrote that when I was really hyped up about role-playing it. But, well, now the hype is gone, so...um...

Reality has set in :lol: But yeah, you can rp with one other person, in fact its really quite simple. It's a mmatter of give and take. The story we have made basically goes like this : I'm into magic and fantasy, He's into Star Trek and other Sci Fi. Sometimes the combination works, sometimes it doesn't.We try and set boundaries (No omnipotent creatures etc) but basically we just let our imiginations have free reign. What we do is play off each other, and my inbox is fill of pm where we have hashed out question about characteres in the RP. If you read from the beginning, you'll probably get lost as every now and then we bring back a character or subplot froim 20 pages previous... But It's worked well for nearly 300 pages, and we're already planning a sequel... :lol: So if you care to read it .. be sure to read all of it, or as much as you can. Skim if you want...

I'd be delighted to read it.

It's called "Sowarkard". Remember its a fantasy, so anything goes :lol: I warn you, it will take you awhile to read everything.. it's like reading a 300 page book...

That's fine. I have the time.
-
It's the Rp right below this one If you want I can send you a Pm with a (brief) list of the characters involved...

Nah. I think I'll manage without a list.

YOu may think Threehorn is a good role player. But believe me, he isn't. He is extremly selfish when he joins other people's RPGs. He swooped down and butchered my very first RPG to the point where it was unrecognizable, he changed the appearance of my character without my permission and he took over the story like Hitler took over Europe. I'm not the only person who's been attacked by Threehorn. F-14's Star Wars RPGs were also screwed by him as well.
Whatever you do, don't let him join your RPGs. EVER! :angry:

From what I've read so far (I'm currently on page 2 of the Sowarkard topic), I don't think Threehorn is a good role-player. Posts less than a paragraph in length are often the tell-tale sign of a newbie - in the site I usually role-play at, there's three, sometimes four paragraphs a post...or maybe I'm just saying that because I'm used to writing a lot in responce. I dunno.
-
I'm talking about other people's RPGs. He screwed with mine behind the admin's back. Trust me, he's a power player. It's happened to me before.

Usually when people powerplay I just ignore them. And I was aware you were talking about your role-play topic...sorry if I didn't make that clear.
-
That's ok.
-
We've been writing at the RP for over a year... so imo I think we have gotten better at Rp. I'm very even keel. If Threehorn doesn't like something i write, I'll edit it, and If I have concerns about siomthing he wrote I'll ask, either through pm or in Parantheses while posting...
-
I think it's because he is RPing with an admin. Because members can't edit other people's posts. You don't believe me? Read all 21 pages of my RPG. It came to a standstill because of him: http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...p?showtopic=643 (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=536)
-
When We started I wasn't ad admin or even a mod... I think We get along well, because we have been working at for so long... and The fact ids I will always take suggestions and criticisms..
-
Yes, but this guy completley screwed my story into his own little Uwe Boll creation.
-
I can't speak for his actions with you, I can only speak for what he's done while Rping with me. I've had no problems with him. You may disagree (and clearly you do)
-
And clearly two other people. Talk to F-14 or DarkHououmon. They'll tell you what he did to them.
-
Yes, I've heard about those... Apparently I'm the only one he hasn't ticked off? I wonder why that is/ And don't say it is because i'm a mod or admin...
-
You think I don't know that?! :blink:
-
Cyber, I'm not getting what your point... Could you please explain?
-
You said not to say that Threehorn plays fair because you're an admin. You already told me. I'm not WR.
-
I have to side with Cyberlizard on this one. I too am not on good terms with Threehorn. He forced me to raise the rating of my story, Out of the Shadows, at a point in time when an M rating was not necessary. Normally I wouldn't be upset about this sort of thing, but he had practically threatened me into doing what he wanted by saying he would report the story for a low rating, which would most likely get it removed.
This happened about a year ago, but I'm still upset about it. I had originally wanted to try and keep Out of the Shadows T, but I was forced to change the rating.
-
Ok...why do you think Threehorn plays fair with me? there has to be some reason other that I'm an admin...
-
I have NO IDEA! Or maybe just because he thinks just because he has "ultimate LBT fan" on his rank means that he can stomp all over us third party members like ants. -_-
-
There's no need to get exasperated Cyber.. It's clear that Threehorn has wronged you, at least you guys firmly believe that to be the case. darHouhou, was you story on Fanfiction.net?
-
So this means you don't believe me?! :blink:
-
Yes it is on Fanfiction.Net.
-
No, I believe you, Cyber. I was merely telling you to calm down. In my line of work, Emotions can cloud your judgement, you need reason to back up your arguments... Which you have provided. It's clear that if you create a new Rp, it goes without saying that you will not invite Threehorn to jon..
-
I have evidence from a PM conversation with F-14, showing how upset he really is. I'll foreward them to you.
-
So He threatened to give your story a poor rating which could have lead to its deletion due to poor ratings?
-
He's put Star Trek stuff in my Rp too. The difference is, I allow it, and i adapt. So my character travel on the Enterprise.. and confront the Borg and all that...
-
All of the messages I sent you so fare are only half of the conversation, because it filled up your inbox.
-
No, on Fanfiction.Net, there is an option available for all users where you can report a story directly to the FF.Net staff for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is a rating too low for the story's contents. If Threehorn had reported me, I would have lost the story, so I had no choice but to do what he wanted and up the rating.
-
Well it was enough... thanks...
-
So for example the Contents of the story are "more mature" than allowed by the rating? I see.. You know He's going to complain about this to me later...
-
How?
-
I Got the gist of the messages.. If you want to send the rest of the conversation go ahead...
-
Well, the rest of it is mostly a normal conversation. So I don't really see any reason to send the rest of it. All the messages I sent you are all the big and important stuff.
-
Yeah you guys used some course language :blink: But I could attribute that to being upset...
-
DarkHou, wasn't there any way to protectr the story?like for example. why didn't you go to the staff ans tell them"Read my story and see if the claim stand up to sructiny..." Have them read it foor theselves...
-
The only way to talk to the Staff is through the Help section and the Report Abuse option attached to each story.
-
Why didn't you use it? You had a choice...
-
To be honest, I don't know. Maybe because I was afraid that it wouldn't work and I would lose my story.
-
If I was in that Situation I would have taken that chance.. and just to be safe i would have printed a copy of my story, just in case the blackmail worked and the story was deleted. never cow to blackmail, because once you do, that person will continue to blackmail you at every opportunity...
-
The printer wasn't working at the time. So I couldn't print the story out, so if I had lost it, it would have been gone, and I would have had to start all over again, something I don't want to do with any story.
-
That's a bummer. Could you have saved it to a floppy disk or made a folder for it? We're discussing possible options you had at the time Option 1- give in and change the story. Option 2 - not an option because printer didn't work. Option 3???
-
We have no floppy disk drive for the computer, though another option would have been to save the files with each chapter in it.
-
You should have gone that route then... Sure it would have been a pain in the caboose but it's better that having to rip your own story to shreads to save it from being deleted...
-
It's too late for that now anyway. ^^;
-
I know, Hindsight is 20-20. Do you hsave ant Fanfics on the fanfiction.net right now?
-
You mean other than just Out of the Shadows? Yeah I've got others, but they're all cancelled or finished.
-
Yeah that's what I meant...
-
Sorry arboldin, but I've ditched the idea.
