The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Maybe, though if some of the dino chars have abilities I'd like to maybe have at least 1 of mine have some sort of ability, no idea what would fit, power level, ect.  I doubt 3 of the oc's being honorary members of a fastbiter herd and maybe being able to ask for their help would count.

Hello:
 Well, summoning allies is quite an asset in many games and stories, so it may work :DD .

not sure if it's an ability since it won't work just anywhere.  It's not like the summon spells in oblivion where you can summon anywhere.  One of the 3 oc's who can do that have to be in the right area in the mysterious beyond and there has to be some members of the fastbiter tribe close enough to hear the whistle and it may take them a few minutes or more to got to the location, since it's not instant.

Hello:
 That is exactly what I had in mind, to be in a certain area during an event so you can use that OC to call for help in the way you mentioned (I have seen that in games like Star Trek: Bridge Commander, you can ask for help and friendly AI ships will respond, and arrive to your sector in a matter of minutes.). Well, that is maybe not an ability that things ther characters can do in rpgs like this one, but it is still something that should be considered to have due to it's usefulness.

Mim's knowing about stuff and plants likely isn't  an ability either, or Mr. Thicknose being as old as he is and knowing stuff.  Maybe if one assumes he has a photographic memory when he says he remembered every word of what he heard when he listened to the farwalkers talking about the great beyond, but that is maybe not an ability either.  

Maybe Ducky has an ability to stretch her neck, she did it a bit in the first movie to try to show Littlefoot that she is a longneck, though I don't think she's done it since.

For those who say she doesn't do this, she does when she first meets Littlefoot, they have the scene at:

Kor, in short words, there you have it!  :)

NOTICE: I need everyone to read the previous post on page 5 of this topic, and tell their opinions, as I need to know if I shall throw the idea away or not.  :unsure:
I'm kinda losing grip of the whole thing here... apologies if this is.... turning weird...
Just want to get things started, so this can stop buging me.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

The connection strategy you found there sounds good to me, depends what the others think of it. For me it works.

I'm not even sure about this connection thing.
Right now, I'd say 40 % Yes, 60 % No (and it's moving up to 30 - 70%...)
I'm sorry, I'm really unsure here.

Hmm, does this connection thing really have to be such a big thing?
Could it just be like, something extremly simple:
Chomper and Nimrod's Five member, both likes meat...
Ducky and Mumbling's Rose, both can swim well...

That was your thinking from the begining, Iris?

I think I've been over-doing this quite alot. That's why I'm asking.
I did have the story clear from the begining, this just got up because I listened to your ideas. Nothing bad with that, but I need more if so.  :)

I've read it a few times and do not understand the connection thing, nor the special abilities so can't really offer any opinions, nor vote on the connection thing since I don't understand any of it.

Well, shall I just skip it untill further parts?
Really, we don't need it that much in the first part.

I think so.  :^.^:

I want an end to it, I feel stupid about keeping thinking about this...

It is your first rp that you are running, it is only natural that you think a lot about it, that and it's not pure lbt so it requires more thinking then a pure lbt rp would.

I think we'll all enjoy the RP :) Even when some things don't seem fully clear at this moment.
