ermagerd day off

Okay, what happened to us? This place has been as dead as my doorman.

I can't write well enough to produce a clean flowing plot

Well hey, at least this place survived destruction. Can't say the same about several other general boards.

Barely, and I think we have KOG to thank for that, mostly. The only RP I see myself joining in the future is a third Ragnorok or MAYBE a Wolfy RP (And even that's a stretch. I love wolfy to death, but his recent stuff hasn't exactly taken off.)

It pains me to see one of the biggest influences on my life and interests (this place was literally the only reason I went from reader to occasional aspiring writer) die this way.

Yeah, this place was a big influence on me as well. A majority of my characters that I've written and played in D&D were a direct result of this place, and its the reason I'm going after an English degree.

I like wolfies Rp's and KOG's and they would always help me expand mine but then they disappear right way through

Tis nice to see this place is still alive after I had heard so much of it's death. Oh i'm back from the grave to haunt you.

Good to see you back nightmare. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be touching me. The blessings of Banjo the Great Clown of the Clouds protect me from lesser evil of all kinds.

This place... it isn't dead yet... No, it won't die for a while. Not to brag, but definitely like how I am right now. Is that even bragging? Anyway. Though short, but I need to drop this facade. I need to change, but I want this place to as well. Mind helping? Well, not a complete facelift in that matter. But back to the gaming days. I realized that once a certain RP is dead, there's next to no effort in revamping it. Why is this?

Discuss while I take off my mask for a breather.

EDIT: What is this "too new to post links" stuff? Welp.

To answer your question, it's because no one wants to see the same idea fail again. At least, I don't. It's like throwing a big pile of salt on a gaping wound. Personally, there are some that I wish hadn't died, and I really think some ideas just needed a bit more fine tuning, but what's done is done. If we want to, we can just take those old ideas and try again, but as you've already noted, that doesn't happen often.

Hmm... In all honesty, I doubt those two could ever amount to becoming an RP on par with the others I've seen on here. But, still keeping with the honesty, I know it could've been better. Time was what made me lose grip. Or rather, a lack of it.

Before I go any further, I'd like to say the adventures you've gone through are robustly amazing, loony one. That said even though I know there's about another 20, 30 portions of it to come from you. It's something I'd very well like the honor of being accepted into partaking at least once. I have to say the thought of possibly failing Common Sense checks all the time frighten me, though.

Also, about Phenomenon; I'm waiting for until the story progresses deep enough before I try to chip in with my ideas. Rushing straight onto the bigger ideas just doesn't seem right to me. Don't know if it will suffice, but was the phrase "Don't count your chickens before they hatch?" For want of a better phrase, I guess it's all I can come up with. That said, I'll be watching it, as I have been for the past few weeks.

...The "Indonesia" idea is gonna have to wait. I wanna work out something fun first. And rejoin you guys here. Are the RPs available? Or do I have to rejoin in on a certain one of them through sheer magical crazy ***-pulling?

As to the first part of your post, I'm afraid you have, in fact, lost me on that one.

In terms of Phenomenon, I think that's a pretty good idea. I haven't been able to come up with much in the way of anything lately, but hopefully Night will get things back on track soon enough. We're still in the opening stages of the tale, so there's plenty of time for you to join in later on once things have settled into a properly developing plot line.

The RPs are available, as far as I can tell. Of course, the rejoining bit is also possible as far as I know, should you so desire.

Phenom kinda needs night in way, albeit it being a group effort, he's still a dungeon master of sorts

Yeah. Without him being there, the risk of hijacking the plot is a bit too great.

I love the your mention me in your posts as if I'm not gonna return. And as for a plot hijacking I really don't mind as both you, pengy, and craiz have great ideas.

Well, it has been, what, forever since we last heard from you? I was seriously worried you'd forgotten about us. I missed you, Night. You always say the most interesting things.

Ah the cute little penguin missed me. Forever makes my absence seem a lot longer than it really was, then again it did seem like awhile. But don't worry Pengy now I am back granted I may only be able to get on once or twice a week but I am here.

How could I forget about this place when it has had such a big influence on my life? Have met so many awesome people here.

Yes, well, Nexus missed you too.

And penguins. Don't forget the grand total of (1) penguins that you've met here!

I could tell, its only you craiz and one other now, right?

Actually 2, there was some other person with penguin in their username.
