If you need some advice, I or any of the other players here would be happy to let you know what we do. The Discord link on the first page (OOC) also can be really good for that.

One small question. At first, you say Eulee has no powers. Then you say she can open wounds on others. I have no problem if she can open wounds on others. But then, technically that would be a power...

Otherwise, the app looks good.


Can't everyone open wounds on others?


Yeaaaa. Usually with a knife or something. But if it's with the mind, or some kind of power-related deal, it needs to be listed as a power.

How should I introduce Wade, however.. Hmmm..

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

She does have a power, healing that is. Reopening recently healed wounds is the reverse of the healing power, which is different from inflicting one.

Ok then. Remember there is a one power limit. It's either healing, or it's opening wounds. Your choice. And then, reflect this in the app, and it should be good.

Maybe a general wound manipulation?

Or time manipulation . . . of meat?

I changed the powers in the app to:
"Currently, Eulee still cannot figure out why, as an ooman, she has slow healing powers (which only work on organic creatures)."

Hey guys!

Just a few things.

First, we have an OP - The venerable Nova Corrini (the player behind Squawks and H'vari). Nova and I will be bouncing ideas off each other, and he has some experience at this. Feel free to congratulate him. I think this can only help. Hopefully, he will be a voice of semi-authority when I can't be on.

Second, we've kind of slowed down some. Sometimes this happens with people getting busy IRL. And that's fine. But if you are wanting to write and you're just stuck, this is a part of writing comedy is getting feedback and helping each other with funny things. Comedy, I don't think, was meant to be a solo act alone. It always helps with fun-minded friends. And I think all of us are fun-minded. All of us can help. But I want to let you know that if I can be of help with coming up with ideas, I am more than happy to do so. I'm just glad you guys like this RP.

Third, I will probably be writing an update soon, and moving to a timeskip soon. We're going to be moving to 4:30 am the next morning, for the new B-Jacs training session at 5 (called by the thorough and easily irritating Lt. Flo). First time you get to meet her. And Chuckie the robot too. Should be good.

If anyone wants to post anything before then, speak up here or post there. I'll give you a few hours, and probably get the timeskip at the end of the day.

Hello. As your new CO-OP, I have a couple things to say.

As Talc said, my main purpose is to be a voice of authority in instances when he's gone and there is an issue that needs to be solved quickly.

He also spoke about feedback. I agree with this, and I would advise that if you needed to bounce ideas off of someone, you can do it in our Discord servers!

In other news, just a reminder that this is still open to new players and new characters, and it will be indefinitely as far as I know. The approval process should go somewhat quicker since now there are two people on.

I'd like to thank you for participating in the RP so far. Here's to a bright future for the crew of the A.S.S. Burger (after some wacky hijinks, of course)!

I understand. I got busy too and had to put off my time skip post. That will be coming. If you want me to write that time skip first, I can. Otherwise, let me know and we'll see.

I will be posting tonight.

Also, in case you're interested, there is new Google Document created by Nova on the Discord page. I'm attempting to write suggestions as to how to write for comedy. That said, if you have any things you'd like to add, this is an open document for all of us to collaborate on. If you're not on Discord but still want to collaborate, let me know. We can work something out.

I find it interesting. It gives me something to think about, to approach writing comedy a lot better and to help increase comedy writing skills. It's becoming very helpful for me to have to consider this. Hopefully you guys like it too.

Image

Name: S.A.I.T. (Sentient AI Toothbrush)
Species: Electric Toothbrush with AI
Age: Manufactured 1 year ago
Sex: Male AI
Power(s): His head spins

Goals: To keep the ship, and its passengers clean
Equipment: Extra heads
Any enemies? : Plaque, as it is on teeth, and thus sticks to him

Biography: S.A.I.T. was manufactured one year prior to this RP, and was installed with an AI that will always be cleaning teeth, floors, toilets, etc. Being around all these beings though, has caused him to develop a sense of humor, which is rude at times, and he can be highly sarcastic. Nicknamed 'Toothy" he is bound to run in, and fight with other crew and visitors, as he is very territorial over his charging port.

RP sample:[url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.phpf=5&t=459160&p=35277169&sid=d83382c1a36030e298f8484019285f5f#p35277169[/url]

Oh my gosh. This character will definitely fit in this RP. S.A.I.T. (Thought it said "salt" at first) is definitely ACCEPTED! Welcome to Mars Needs Windex!

I look forward to seeing how this character moves, like if he rolls on his side or has to bum rides or something else. Since toothbrushes have no legs.

There is one small thing with the app. I don't know what the reason was, but I wasn't able to see your RP sample. Something wasn't working with the link
