The Walrus sends his deepest regards towards the clown, in hopes that all will turn out well in the end.

In regards to the actual RP, I'm afraid there's not much we can do at the moment other than wait. Darko, you appear to be in some kind of contact with FITZZ, perhaps you could ask him what he would like us to do in regards to a possible temp GM, if we should do anything of that sort at all.

Now, if you're still craving horror, I've opened up a planning thread for my own horror RP 'Solipsism' in the Basement. I hope to launch Saturday, and would be pleased if you all gave it a look.

I'm not in contact with him, I just believe that I may well have had the last contact with him out of all of us.

Look, Dark, I don't want an outsider who is just now looking into BM with no experience with the RP GM'ing it.

No offense.

I assumed the temp would be from our own ranks.

..So did I. If you assumed I was volunteering myself, then you're mistaken.

I just came in to try and help this thing stay alive for Fitzz.

Thing is, everybody's characters who have stayed play an important role in the actual RP...

... oh yeah, hey Darko...

Most of the people who have stayed play a god role. Mordo seems to be back which is a good thing because part of the story can be continued that way. Unfortunately the issue comes down to events in the game. I was planning on sending my group to the Network portal and try to shut that down and I think Fitzz was trying to do some things there with Natasha.

Silly and the rest of the guys in the Crooked World haven't been doing too much so that right there is a dead spot until we can get some more active players in there to speak for them and temporarily hijack their characters.

I think that we can use this bit of downtime for dialogue, preparation if we get a temp GM in, or to let some others catch up to where we are. I think Suzie is a few months behind the rest of us storywise for example.

If we do have someone temp as GM then I would say, and I shudder when I do, that Mordo would be the most capable. Not only can he weave a fine tale, but he has proven time and time again that he is good at screwing people over... that and he and Fitzz seem to have cooperated a lot on certain ideas during the RP.

But it all depends on everything in RL. It sounds like Fitzz is being dragged over coals right now in RL and the only thing that a lot of us can do is just hope for the best for him and his family.

Why, thank you Nachos. Whilst I am honored to have myself nominated as a temp, I feel we should not act until we get some kind of word from FITZZ. I would rather he not return to find the story going in a direction he did not expect. However, I could run the game for a bit, focussing on a side-plot rather than the main one, but only if you the players decide unanimously upon it.

Exactly, that's why I said "if". Fitzz has been the type of GM who actually runs the game so that's why its such a punch to the RP's gut during his absence. Without Fitzz it wouldn't feel like Blood Moon so I think that the major plot shouldn't be touched in his absence and I agree with you full heartedly on that. However you currently have one of my NPCs hostage...

I can do a few RP's without FITZZ. He knows when to start my Event, so I'll leave it off there.

The issue, however, is that I have Silly's two characters and have no idea what t do with them. I can do them, but possibly you can as well, Halo. You did Vegas 2nd best, after Silly of course.

I did Vegas well, but not too sure about Crooked Vegas although she seems to be a little bit similar to Vegas. I am also hesitant seeing as though I kind of got the original Vegas killed by accident.

I'm mostly for waiting unless we can do some mostly fluff RPs. If Fitzz does come back I don't want him to have to do too much pick up and feel like he's been kicked out of the RP. Its something personal, this RP is his baby and if we decide to continue on then its like we're kidnapping it.

Hm, off-topic but I just remembered I was planning on reminding you of your unused basement account, Halon. You might want to give it another look. (If you do.. please, change your theme to Mercury in the control panel to view it as intended)

You know the thing with that account is that the website isn't memorable for me. I don't favorite anything and DakkaDakka is easy to remember.

Will have to go back though. Where's the control panel on the site?

As shown above. Profile is the control pannel.

say. how many PCs are in ATM anyhow?

Myself, mordo I think, you now, chowder, and shas.

I ahve just had alot of stuff on my plate recently but i'm trying to make time to type some rps

I'm here, I just haven't had the motivation recently to do more background RPs...:/

Aura and I are pretty much snowed under at the moment, and when I do get five minutes, I'm generally playing games just to relax.

My goal however is to get the final parts of my prologue up asap, and then do Scarletts first location post, hopefully before Christmas.

My work just picked up, working 30 hours this week on top of 14 hours of school credits. Doesn't help that my shifts are 4pm-12am(get home at about 12:30am) and I have to go to class at 8am, follow that with waking up and showering and a 30minute commute to school... so I get up at 6am and I am currently battling a chest cold. That being said I will try to get with Mordo on doing a little side story involving my rabble of free ghouls and Claudia.

That being said, I have not PM'ed Mordo anything about this, but plan to eventually before the week is over.

Best of luck with all that halon, life seems to be a real pain for everyone at the minute.. myself included.

Best of luck to everyone then, especially Fitzz.

Lol, just got assigned a hearing for academic misconduct. Already have a case built against it though, I'm a regular Phoenix Wright over here.

What part doesn't surprise you?


In other news I just found out today that I am in the clear because I presented enough evidence to disprove what he was accusing me of. He had said that I was trying to circumvent the attendance policy because my remote for class(we use a little IR clicker to show attendance) showed that I was there but at the end he collected signatures on paper and mine was missing. I told him that what most likely happened(couldn't remember because this happened Nov. 2 according to him) is that I got there late and left early because I had a test for the class's lab right after. His own proof showed that I had 1 point in the beggining, 12 in the middle, and 0 at the end and I brought in bank statements showing that I made a purchase at one of the food places on campus that day. In the end I was cleared of all charges, like a boss. I mean seriously, I have a 90 in the class, I don't need to cheat for attendance points that don't mean a thing.

Anywho, does anybody want to put up a vote to see if we should try a side story to keep the story relatively new in our heads?

I wouldn't mind seeing that if only to keep the RP thread from sinking into the depths...

That's what I'm thinking, a little expansion that won't mean too much to the actual story. Maybe pick a time and do a big flashback, vampires of course can be there if they are that old, same with wolves, hunters would pick ancestors and so would any wolf or vamp too young to have been around.

I can see that...It would involve a lot of focusing on not advancing the timeline a lot, and would probably involve exploring what the characters do when they aren't killing each other...

But If we're looking for flashbacks then I can do that seeing as they make up 60% of my posts anyway...

I have the idea its just righting it all out thats my problem at the mo

I was just thinking about having an RP set in the past to show how some of the characters in the current one came to be. To be honest I've been watching a lot of western movies and playing Skyrim so I'm itching for an excuse to have a mini-rp set in the Wild West or something. Andy has some ancestors there and I think an alcoholic, irish, cavalry officer, yankee would be fun to RP.

I could totally do that considering Harlow's past and his family comes from a western setting...that would work perfectly...

I also think Mordo mentioned something about setting an RP in this universe during the first world war...
