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

Hey, Myrkin, did you happen to have in mind what the cure would be for that poisonous fruit that was given to your character, Claw? I can't come up with one.

I don't know... Maybe some random red-leafed plant?  ;)

Maybe a red treestar.  Those were in 1 episode of the tv series, or the fruit of the red treestar tree maybe.

I took a screenshot of it a long time ago.  For those of you who have not seen the tv series or do not know what a red treestar looks like you can see my screenshot at: http://s696.photobucket.com/albums/vv325/K...RedTreeStar.jpg

Red treestar if fine with me, as long as it doesn't taste very bad to sharpteeth. :p

^ Well, Ruby described the red tree star in “The Meadow of Jumping Water” as being very sweet, so as long as you don’t have a problem with sweet foods, it shouldn’t be that bad. :p

What time of day is it in the RP right now? I had the impression that it was late in the afternoon, maybe a few hours before sunset. One reason I want to know is that I was hoping to have my character meet up with Ozzy and Strut while there’s still daylight.

Hey guys,

Just an update, Pangaea and Sam are sharing Thud for a bit so the ball can get rolling in this rp.

Also there is a plan that is primary in the rp in the case of Pangaea's capture. From what I recall in the pm's he wanted to go off on his own and have no interference of the other characters getting him at first.

Edit: AND Ozzy and Strut will come and meet Pangaea and Pangaea will try to convince them to leave, then Thud and Screech capture him, with Ozzy and Strut running away scared.

Well I've been away from this RP for almost a year now. Interesting. I request the ability to step back in and try to catch up again. I really enjoyed this RP and want to get back into it.

Could I possibly get a quick summary of what is happening right about now? I've tried reading 80 pages and it got a bit confusing for me :rolleyes:

Ah gee...you've definitely have been away for a bit...

Well let's see...

Red Claw is blind because my character blinded him, so he's out for revenge. He plans a way for Screech and Thud to get my character and he uses himself as a distraction. This turns out very unsuccessful as the Great Valley members beat him up and Screech and Thud are too distracted by other characters to get to me.

They are chased out of the valley and the valley holds a meeting, this turns into a fight for Mr. Three Horn plans to kick me out because I made a hole in the wall for Red Claw's gang to come in and thinks I am doing this to take over the valley. To make matters worse, Pterano is there and thinks I am plotting with Pterano to take over the valley. He also accuses others of taking over the valley being typical Mr. Three Horn. :rolleyes

Then he gets hurt by Noname who shoots a spear at him (Noname unfortunately is not playing with us due to other things he has to do) and wounds him temporarily to stop Mr. Three Horn from attacking others.

Then everyone tries to fix up the wall (minus Mr. Three Horn and other characters) when suddenly Red Claw strikes back again and is at the hole again. My character distracts him for he recognizes my scent even though he can't see and he tries to get where I am, but I jump off (I can't fly yet) and he rams his head at the piece of rock I was on and then the rocks fall all over him which temporaraly keep him down for a bit. Then he drastically rises from the rocks and walks the other way to the Mysterious Beyond, which leaves the hole still vunerable to future attacks from Red Claw.

Meanwhile, Mrykin's character is still poisioned by the fruit Rinkus and Sierra forced him to eat and so he tries to get help from Chronicler and Ruby.

So then we fill up the hole, we go to sleep and then we have breakfast and go to the thundering falls. Some new characters come in and two flyers come in to make a ruckus and Pterano basically tells them to go away very eloquently. :P:

Then Anna is cooking some fish and others are coming in to where she and Ducky are to talk and carp.

If you have any question, please DO NOT be hesitant to ask. I can understand why you would be confused as well as other people. :yes

Thanks a bunch :D

Where would you prefer for me to come in? Just in any place? Or would you rather I start somewhere else and try to meet up with the characters?

Ok, I'm actually going to post in this now. I think I'm going to have myself turn into a longneck, just so I can actually relate to Zaine. Also, if I were to turn into a dinosaur in LBT it would have been a longneck, or a fast biter I couldn't decide.

I think I'm going to have us approaching the Thundering Falls.

I case if anyone hadn't noticed, I've recently had my character toss something behind his back, not noticing that it hit someone. Who is this someone? I thought it would be interesting to have it be a character played by someone besides me. It doesn't matter which character you use, just have him or her get hit and possibly yell at my character for throwing that thing.

ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS:[/b]


As you all have probably heard, Rat_lady7 has decided to leave the GOF (hopefully it will only be temporary), entrusting me and The Great Valley Guardian with the "In The Land Before Time" RP.

Having been an active participant and supporter of this RP for over a year now, I have no intention of letting it die, and will do my best to keep it going. So please, all of you continue posting and enjoying yourselves in this RP! :)

Rat_lady's dinosona (Amy, the flyer) will, of course, be leaving the RP. My thought was that she would leave with Pterano (who, in a recent post, agreed to teach her to fly), possibly to the Mysterious Beyond. Sometime this week I plan to post this event (either a post I wrote myself, or one which I post on Rat_lady's behalf, depending on whether or not she responds to the PM I sent her). This will take Pterano out of the picture as well, reducing the number of characters to pick up for Rat_lady.

I was thinking of taking over Red Claw, thereby controlling all three members of the sharptooth pack and making their actions easier to coordinate, though I am willing to negotiate with anyone who wants to play him and believes that he or she can keep him in character and maintain his objectives in the RP.

The other characters now open for playing (at least until Rat_lady returns) are:

Littlefoot

Mr. Threehorn

Tria

Rebecca
(Petrie's mother)

While I'm willing to play any number of these characters if no one else takes them, it would be rather difficult for me, and I'm not sure I'd know what to do with all of them (especially Littlefoot and Tria). So if anyone would like to or is willing to pick up any of these characters, please speak up. Thanks. :angel


Apart from the character changes, the RP will continue as normal. The plan is still as follows:

ï My character (Pangaea) leaves the others and meets up with Ozzy and Strut.

ï As Pangaea attempts to convince the egg stealers to leave the valley, Screech and Thud (who have found a path into the valley) attack. Ozzy and Strut run off, while Pangaea is captured by Screech and Thud.

ï Screech and Thud bring Pangaea to Red Claw, hoping to use him as bait to draw Amy out of the valley (not knowing that she has left).

ï Someone (possibly Guido, Petrie's mother, or a character belonging to another player who volunteers) who has witnessed Pangaea's capture from afar, informs the other dinosaurs, prompting them to form a rescue party (consisting of anyone who chooses to participate).

ï Eventually, the group faces off against Red Claw, Screech, and Thud, who see that Amy is not with them. (It's possible that Chomper could even tell them that Amy has left, and tricks them into leaving to search for her in the wrong direction.) Nonetheless, the valley dinosaurs have to fight to get Pangaea back. Hopefully they succeed. :p

Again, you are all encouraged to continue posting, and to share any ideas you might have for the RP. Thank you. :yes


GVG, do you have anything to add?

I know it's going to be tough without Amy, so I want to offer my assistance if you ever need it. I'm really saddened that I joined back so late, because I would have loved to interact with Amy's character. Of course, now it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.

If you and GVG feel bogged down by this at all, please do not hesitate to ask me for help. I am more than willing to assist the two of you in whatever way possible.

I can certainly take up Littlefoot if you need me to. I would just need to know where he is at the moment and what he's been doing so far.

I was going to take Littlefoot if no one else wanted him, but I'll let LBTFan13 have him.

Also, I would appreciate it if someone takes Petrie's mother soon, because my characters have just started interacting with her, and for once I don't want to have an entire conversation with just myself.

Thank you very much, LBTFan13. :) I enormously appreciate any help you can offer.

If you'd like to take Littlefoot, that's great. :DD Since you asked about his location, I suppose I might as well give a rundown of where all of the characters are at this time (as far as I know):

ï Littlefoot, Anna, Ducky, Pangaea, Guido, Flapper (Kor), Petrie, Claw (Myrkin), Chomper, Rocky, and Belmont are around Anna's campfire (by the volcanic cracks at Grandpa Longneck's storytelling place in LBT VI). Amy and Pterano are also there, though I'm planning on having them both leave soon.

ï Mr. Threehorn, Tria, Cera, and Tricia are somewhere near the Thundering Falls.

ï Rick (GVG), Longtail, Rob (LBTFan13), Zaine, and Spike are together somewhere in the valley (I don't know the exact location).

ï Chronicler, Ruby, and Rebecca (Petrie's mother) are at a pond somewhere in the valley.

ï Red Claw, Screech, and Thud are in the Mysterious Beyond, as are Ozzy and Strut (whom I have yet to introduce).

I don't know the locations of Sam (F-12), Mr. Thicknose, the Rainbow Faces, Mim, Sierra, Rinkus, Mrs. Maia, Shorty, Ali, Bron, Ducky's mother, or either of Littlefoot's grandparents.

I suppose I'm good with playing Petrie's mother. I can think of a couple of things to do with her, though if someone else wants her I'll gladly give her to them. That just leaves Mr. Threehorn and Tria for someone to pick up.

By the way, one thing I think everyone should know (if they haven't figured it out already) is that I'm not very spontaneous when it comes to RPing; I'm not so good at striking up conversations with other characters or coming up with ideas for major events in the RP, so it's really helpful if the rest of you can contribute ideas to the RP, and give me feedback on how I'm handling it. Also, when interacting with one of my characters, try to end your posts with a prompt of some kind if you want me to respond; it makes things that much easier for me.

Sorry, I hope I'm not coming off as too bossy or anything here. :unsure: I'm just nervous about running this RP.
