Speaking Z-Day, I happened to click on the dispatches link, and today I learned how seriously people are taking this. The North Pacific have like squads based on pop, squad leaders, IRC channels, and everything. I'm a bit jelly to be honest.

Welcome, Quendi! Be sure to sign up for our OSF. We have several fun projects in the works, including planning for a PT RP.



All: we're long overdue for our monthly updates, and the Gog mailbag is a month behind. RL has complicated Swith's schedule. We should have things done by this weekend or next.

  The time is yesterday / The land is alien / The glory is everlasting
  "The States are as the men are; they grow out of human characters." - Plato, The Republic
  Welcome to Kalibutan - at least, that's what some of the locals call it. The time is yesterday: an era long-forgotten and shrouded in mystery and legend, a time when ships were of wood and men and women were of iron. The place is a foreign land: not Earth, at least not in any recognizable form, and certainly not fully known to the humans and other races plodding along its shores. On these unforgiving continents, people have fought and died in the name of their tribes, their kings and queens, and their sacred honor. This the story of their trials and tribulations. This is the story of the birth of nations and the fall of empires, of the rise of dynasties and the death of warriors. Alliances will be forged, families betrayed, and armies shall march across continents and brave the unfettered oceans in search of the only true source of immortality: glory in war and conquest.
  
  Beneath the heel of tyrants shall the low be made high and the meek be made mighty.
  
  Welcome to Kalibutan. If your people can survive the elements and their neighbors, perhaps glory can be yours as well. Read more: http://paedagog.boards.net/thread/47/pt ... z3qNjg7HL4 (You must be logged in and a Gog member to access this.)
  
  
• LINKFARM
  The farm has been updated. If you have links you wish to provide, TG Swith Witherward. She'll tuck them in. We will also advertise Gog member RPs, if you want to list those.
  
  
• MAILBAG
  This has been delayed due to RL schedules. We should see publication by mid-month November. Thank you for your patience.
  
  
• IRC
  A quick reminder for the IRC channel (#NSP) - please don't park there. Log out if you're going to be AFK for long. Prospective members visit and see someone sitting there, and they assume the other person is purposefully ignoring them.

This sounds like some kind of essay thesis. After taking a SAT practice test(today), I'll take a look at this later, cause this sentence is confusing my muddled brain, though it's getting a bit better when I read it agaan just now.

Yep, kinda skipped October cause I was super-busy. Submissions are a-okay anytime from now to Monday of next week.

Yah, I'm taking it this weekend, so I'll be taking the old one. I'll have to see if I should take a second one depending on my scores.

[Swith Witherward]

Good luck on it, Star! *crosses fingers*

Star, I got like 1870, including the writing, out of 2400.

You write so many more words than me.

Go kill that bitch.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

[Al-Seena]

PÆDAGOG MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION GOGAPP Name: Al-Seena (shorten it to your liking) NS Nation(s): Al-Seena RP Genre(s): War and Crime Drama mostly. I've dappled into political intrigue and other things of that nature but that's usually where my skills shine RP Franchise(s): N/A RP Perspective: Predominantly Character Why do you RP?: I RP mostly for the enjoyment I get out of developing a story, but also to improve myself at a core writing level. RPing has helped me overcome some challenges I've had in the past with writing, spelling, and grammar. So it's not to just have fun but also the concept of self improvement. GMing/OP experience? (Y/N): Y What is your area of expertise, in any?: I'm usually pretty good with military history and weaponry. I'm a dedicated realist as well. I'd assume that's my area of expertise. If you have an area, would you feel confident teaching others this skill?: Yeah. Main haunt (II, NS, P2TM): II Timezone: US Central Additional Information: Thank you for taking the time to apply.

You're welcome!

[Fvaarniimar]

PÆDAGOG MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION GOGAPP Name: Fvaar NS Nation(s): At present, Fvaarniimar (main), Borksmiclen (IC connection with Fvaarniimar), Fggwyyliieimn, Lirva d Nossiop RP Genre(s): Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mystery/thriller, Adventure mainly. RP Franchise(s): Could do Star Trek (TNG), some Marvel, Harry Potter, most stuff by Tamora Pierce, possibly Discworld, Xanth, Pern, and a whole lot more.  Have not done so at this point. RP Perspective:  Character Why do you RP?: Well, I roleplay because I enjoy roleplaying and because it makes me write on a very regular basis.  I enjoy roleplaying for probably too many reasons to list.  Among these: because creating something is incredibly cool, because I like creative writing, because roleplay is less predictable than writing something myself, and because if collaborating goes well the experience can be pretty amazing. GMing/OP experience? (Y/N): Tried to run a few things with limited success.  For practical purposes N. What is your area of expertise, in any?:  I'm a pretty good proofreader/editor; I understand the English language and its conventions fairly well.  Additionally, I think that I'm fairly good at finding possible ways for concepts to work, at melding bits of ideas into interesting things, and at fleshing concepts out. If you have an area, would you feel confident teaching others this skill?: Grammar, I think so but you might be better off with a book.  The others, nope. Main haunt (II, NS, P2TM): P2TM. Timezone:  Uh, that amounts to giving data on my location.  I'll tell you that a) it falls between GMT -8 and the same -5 and b) it isn't that relevant.  I'm something of a night owl and if something interesting is going on I may be up past 4 am, resulting in me sleeping in the next morning. Additional Information: Probably not going to do much conlanging at this point.  It seems complicated and intimidating.  Also, 99% of the time I post and NS from my phone. Thank you for taking the time to apply. You're welcome.  You talked me into it, it would seem.

I have returned from the abyss known as the SAT victorious! (I hope).

Hurrah!

[Fvaarniimar]

Exhausting, isn't it? (I credit RP with my passing the writing section.)

Also, wow. I think I was thinking of you as around thirty, forty.

Oh yeah. Ate a lot when I got home.


Really?! I'll take that as a compliment.

[Empire of Gibraltar]

Anyone interested in a Nation RP, I was thinking about making an alternative history world, probably with Prussia losing the Franco-Prussian War, and thus not uniting, but I'm wondering if anyone else has ideas?
