Personification Life OOC VIII [OPEN -Sign up and Planning]

[Monfrox]

I made this! Really proud of it, wanted to share.

Anywho, I like the format thing so far. Usually when hearing about adventures, it's difficult to piece together exactly what's going on. But this new thing is good, I like it.

Even I as one who doesn't into ponies thinks that's pretty frickin' neato.

Hello gathered friends.

[Tiltjuice]

Awesome wellspring of stories. *nods* Depends on who all is into the various plots.

Well, I might want to run one of my plots by the story app too... It probably won't involve other players, depends on who is interested.

Story Interest Form
Ref: TNEL
Genre: Action, war.
Story name: The Summer Revolution
How many players needed: Might be an implied story, unless anyone feels like joining in.
Restrictions (no magic, etc): None, although god-like characters would somewhat dampen it and make it rather easy to finish.
Will characters face death: Yes, although it'd be rather unlikely, seeing as the opposing force is comprised of poorly-equipped, poorly-trained, and outnumbered conscripts.
How long do you expect it to run: A few weeks, probably.
Short overview: A terrorist group from the neighboring micro-country of Reiltam has temporarily thrown Tinell's government and military for the loop and forced them out of the capital. The players would join Cerril and various other Tinellian leaders in a reclamation campaign, eventually recapturing T'nell. / If nobody is interested: Cerril would be sent off to war and the story would be told via his twin sister, Sherril, who would be staying in Bielefield during his absence.

I might send someone.

That looks amazing. It's all the rage among the penguins.

[Tiltjuice]

I take it you didn't see Cer's post in which he tried really hard to kill off characters in the bank using dice rolls and only RL canine intervention saved the party? Note that it's in the bank where (as far as everyone knows) there's no enemies.

Death takes no sides. *raspy raspy raspy*

That sounded like humor to me. First of all its an amsing story and second if he really wanted to kill people hed have just rerolled or done it.

Nevermind. I'll let someone else explain.

[Giovenith]

Thanks, all!

Hi, Prim!

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

I might send someone.

I'd probably wait for maybe two more people to be interested. Otherwise it's probably going to be a tad dull. Just you, and me playing Cerril and a few bit players..

[Primordial Luxa]

Thanks, all!

Hi, Prim!

Nice pic gio
Is their a story behind it?

Might as well jump on the bandwagon before slots fill up

Story Interest Form
Ref: Monfrox
Genre: Adventure/Action/Horror
Story name: Trouble in Paradise
How many players needed: More than 5, less than 10
Restrictions (no magic, etc): You must be combat capable, but not a one man army
Will characters face death: Unlikely, unless your character is a complete dolt
How long do you expect it to run: 2 weeks, depending on player interactions
Short overview: It's a Monfrox trip. Who doesn't like that? A chance to see old friends and play catch-up, maybe share a few drinks and stories. Simple, right? Wrong. This is the nation of Monfrox, where something is always going wrong somewhere, and nowhere is truly safe. You'll arrive for your stay and will have to survey your surroundings. Split-second decisions will have to be made, but play your cards right and it'll be just a walk in the park. And who knows? Maybe, if your lucky, an angel will drop by to guide you with plenty of familiar faces to see.

[Torsiedelle]

Oooooh, me likey! Can I count Torii in?


Also, cool picture, Gio!

Most excellent piece of art, Gio, my friend! much better than anything I've ever made!

Albert, Sigtrygg, or Namal could go along on your event, TNEL.

And nice story idea, Mon, I could participate if its not too full.

[Borksmiclen]

:? I was wondering if a story like what Fvaar just brought up was good. I had something written up earlier, deleted it, went to play games.

Story Interest Form
Ref: Torsiedelle
Genre: Comedy, Romance, etc.
Story name: Torii's First Time...Driving?, Torii Likes Girls...and Boys?
How many players needed: varies, not sure yet.
Restrictions (no magic, etc): N/A
Will characters face death: 99.999% chance not to.
How long do you expect it to run: no definite times. It can be like any other IC scene or interaction, just something to change things up.
Short overview: Katya doesn't have a car, and Torii doesn't know how to drive. Being from a rich family, Katya decides "why not?" to buying two cars! She can't seem to help Torii with driving, hhese owever, and Torii is getting frustrated.

Katya and Torii have a talk, and Katya brings up an argument: "If I turned out to like boys and girls, then why not you, too?", to which Torii walks out. Katya's argument doesn't escape her, and she eventually has to act on it or else she'll go crazy. She tries asking a boy out on a date.

Both of these can still be tweaked, turned around, or even taken out, and one most likely will, but I still want to have them ready for how. On top of these two minor events, I had one or two I brought up before, but didn't feel comfortable putting in the form yet, since I don't want to clutter it up for everybody else's events, and I won't mind if they're rejected or delayed.

Story Interest Form
Ref:
Genre: Life, Teen stuff
Story name: Rock Concert
How many players needed: anyone can take part, but I wanted to make one geared towards the teens.
Restrictions (no magic, etc): Just no killing
Will characters face death: No
How long do you expect it to run: a day, IC
Short overview: A concert is in town, and the band playing is one that all the Teens can appreciate. Torii, wanting to make up to everyone for ruining the carnival, begs her sister and buys tickets for the club. The teens, or those who choose, go and spend the day partying, flirting, playing together, and bonding.

With this, I'm open to collaborating and working with other players (mainly those playing Teens, and Co-OPs) to flesh out the concert, the band, and any other things that happen. Did I mention that I was interested in seeing bullies again? Who knows, maybe they could show up, or maybe some other time. I just liked that they posed a threat to the Teens.

Neat! Kinda funny... Great minds think alike, perhaps? Or... Eh, I dunno.

So, how'd you feel about Torii maybe playing a role of some sort in the story I suggested, should it get okayed? (Asking as she's joined a rather small group: people Nick feels pretty comfortable around.) Additionally, have you any suggestions? I think that, for your story- and this is just a suggestion, made in the spirit of not requesting something which I'm not offering- it could be interesting if they end up running into the other teens, say at a stoplight. Maybe just one... Who knows, maybe some would be tolerable if not facing peer pressure to be rude to the Teens...

And now I've gotten an idea for a character with a built in story. What if one of those teens were to be somehow forced by circumstance to take up residence in the Building?

[Giovenith]

Remember, Swith's nation trip before all others.

And guys, I think we should keep a general mind-set that we try not to go overboard with planning events. If you plan something, actually stick to it, and keep in mind the plans that came before it. Something I felt was a problem with PL events in the past was that when some people proposed events, they did it with half-shrugged, "It'd be cool if..." without much hard intention behind it, and it wound up clogging things up. Make things count, put dedication into them, be considerate of scheduling.

[Torsiedelle]

I don't know about what the other teen's (the bullies, right?), would do, since they're Swith's, but I'd like to have Torii interact with Nick in an event, sure. She's kind of treating him like a pet right now in the IC.

Swith's nation trip gave me an idea...

Note to self: Must present idea when she's on.

The latter's not an issue, in case you were wondering: Nick really enjoys that, provided he's also being treated with an amount of respect (not being condescended to, etc.) befitting a sentient being. Plus, he's a bit childlike in a few respects and the situation is bringing that side of him out- he needs the comfort, and this is helping.

My guess is that, were the other teens to make a cameo, OPs or Co-OPs would control them or something. That would mean that they'd need to be on board with it. If you're referring to their behavior- yeah, that'd be interesting.

(Btw: Still on, likely for next hour. Switched nations.)

I never realized how much I hate my job until I work at it for 6 hours . . . What'd I miss?

I shipped your car first-class to Saudi Arabia.

Various event proposals, for one thing.

We work fast.

Thanks for the car. I needed a getaway. The Saudi King is still onto me, and those guards are covering my helicopter.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Anyone have an estimate as to when FOB will conclude? I ask because I want to know when I can throw in my app for Cerril's temporary replacement in Bielefield without it being too early or too late.
