Elfen High 2 (OOC 5, Closed)

[Ranbo]

Let me see what I can do.

*cracks knuckles*

If you want, I can make that a side thing to this.

It'll likely be non-canon though.

Actually, I was planning on it being a separate entity existing as a gameshow that has taken place after solar radiation causes a shift in atmospheric conditions, rendering the area surrounding the equator to a hellish wasteland.

Naturally, whatever EH existing then can unofficially sponsor it. It'll probably survive because a.)the school's not near the equator, and b.) EH is like a cockroach: No matter how much you'll squish them, the infestation survives.

In addition, I'd kind of like to OP something for a change. Hopefully, that won't send you all running in the other direction—but hey, you never know.

[Olthar]

I used to play chess all the time in my senior year of highschool as I had a free period and literally nothing better to do with my time. I've also tried playing chess against the computer, but even on easy mode, it's so damned hard that I've only beaten it once, and I don't even know how I accomplished that. Seriously, easy mode should kind of be, you know, easy. >_>

Chess is a pretty solid way to kill time. -Nods-

And yeah, chess on the computer is pretty hard, >.>. My friend says that it's because you can't 'read' a computer and anticipate its movements. I say that whoever programmed it was a sadistic bastard. .

For me, it's definitely that the AI is too hard. Fuck, I only win about 2% of the games of Connect Four that I play against the computer. D':

Anyways, I'm anticipating that there might be something of a problem with Jackie's subplot. Both Eraldo and Crowley are with the distraction team, leaving no one to lead the infiltration team since neither she nor Night have another character there...

So? How is that a problem?

Eh, then we may as well pull EH out of it since I likely wouldn't have the time to keep up on it and it wouldn't fit too well. I was making the last offer so it would stay in one OOC and have a better chance of living.

[Olthar]

I would like to participate in this survivor thing. It could give me a chance to play a were creature.

I'd be interested as well.

None of the players are going to do a damn thing to advance the plot since we a) don't know what to do and b) don't want to risk upsetting you. Thus, without you to direct us, we'll just sit there doing nothing, sort of like what's happening right now.

No. The people who program them are assholes. The computers are just following orders.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Though I've been thinking about this to some extent. I've noted quite a few of your rps have a bad tendency to, you know, die. So next EH OOC, we could potentially convert this into a Nightkill's Shit OOC in general. So you'd accept apps and set up your storyline/history and what not in your own thread, but then discussion and stuff can happen here and I can put a link to both your "official" background/apps thread and the IC.

But it is likely to become very chaotic and odd very fast, so I've held off on doing so.

Of course they are. My computer had the audacity to go on hibernate without my knowledge all because it ran out of juice! The audacity! The entitlement!

That's what the Nazis said.

I don't understand. Wouldn't having this OOC steal away the activity from the other OOCs help in their demise instead of prevent it?

Fair enough. Once I'm finished, I'll post a link here—Shameless Advertising^TM at it's best—for anyone that's interested.

Until then, wish me luck that something comes out of this that will actually get off the ground. It's probably no surprise, but I've had trouble with things like that in the past.

I actually wouldn't mind something like this.

That's what they want you to believe!

But anyway, yeah, I know. .

I don't understand. Wouldn't having this OOC steal away the activity from the other OOCs help in their demise instead of prevent it?

No, because death of rps occurs because people juggle too many at once, or post in one OOC too much, which leads to the death of many others. I've noted and started to firmly believe that the OOC is what tends to keep the rp in general alive. RPs with faster OOCs, like this, survive. If there's one universal OOC, then you get reminders for each of your rps in one fell swoop, like "Nightkill, you need to reply to APS, AWB, RU2 and AD" and then I can get to that because I have those reminders.

Just a thought though and I'm not going to force it on you. I doubt my rp will die, but I've noted others have.

[Nude East Ireland]

The Seward Trading Organisation runs a reality TV show, where contestants are thrown into the bowels of Elfen High. They must fight through monsters, drugs, weapons, and themselves, in order to win big money. The host is Simon Crown, a cousin of Damien Seward and monster hunter (it runs in the Seward family).

It's called "Seward Death Match".

For your idea to work, only those in our little community would know to sign up here for an RP.

[Ende]

You can't win chess in 2 moves.

It's impossible.

Move the pawn in front of your king.
The opponent moves the pawn in front of their queen or king-side bishop.
Move your queen or king-side bishop in line with the king.
Checkmate.

And I have actually won that way before.

Nobody is that fucking stupid.

Sounds generous, but it also sounds like a latent massive clusterfuck.

@Ende: You'd be surprised.

*Shrug*

If that's all, then pretty much the only thing that will change is that you'll start linking other people's RPs in the OP.

And that we'd get more people like TIE and Agri. .

Oh shit. You're right. This is a terrible, terrible idea!
