I kinda feel like that's too many npcs. Last time there were only 4--about a third of the characters. There's two ops now, so it makes sense for there to be more, but more than six (three each) feels like a lot.

On the other hand, I don't know what you guys have planned. Just letting you know my thoughts. I think it's more fun to have more different people involved instead of everybody controlled by the same people.

It is definitely a possibility to cut down NPCs

Let me think about it

I was originally just going to create Stansfield, the Clown and the mean girls clique but then I was like... “hmmm we need 2 other more friendly faces too otherwise audience sympathy may plummet” (Stan is okay but he’ll come across as a bit too... strong at times)

I also deliberated with myself about whether or not to involve another “kid” type character. Last RP we had Anna Winchester but somehow bringing her back again doesn’t feel right (her arc felt complete, plus how could she also end up in Picketing?).

Then I thought about the annoying characters of Zack (from the Strain) and Carl from Walking Dead and I was like... “hey what if we found an excuse for 1 character to bring along a whiny little kid?”

But then I decided... nah (I mean it’s a teen party plus the character will no doubt prove too annoying)

I will miss Anna, but you're right that it doesn't make sense for her to be here. Plus, she's been through enough haha.

It is sad indeed because Anna was a very adorable character, although depending on the reader, maybe at times a bit annoying

The dynamic for this party is definitely going to be different

Any major archetypes missing?

I was thinking maybe I would do a rebel without a cause or uncharismatic outsider character possibly, specifically I would more or less have him be a slightly more violent and athletic version of me in high school. Definitively interested in this though. Something light and simple to get back in the groove, haven't Rped in a while.

WIP
Name: Amon Day
Age: 18(started school late so is technically a junior going on senior)
Gender/Sex: Masculine-Male
Appearance : Image
Personality: Regarded as a bit of a Jerk with a heart of gold seeing so much crap that he has grown rather cynical with the way things are. He sees the world around him and knows it full of s***. Everyone around him is full of it too. All around him just a bunch of superficial and dumb airheads and quite honestly he can barely stand them. Only reason he is here is because of bordom and pizza... they promised him pizza. Still he's not exactly a monster though he can sometimes come off as one. Poor social ques and an aggressive mentality born from a hard knock life with the only thing promised being a penitentiary or a young death. From the get go it was drilled into his head he couldn't fight and beat fate so he figured he can still fight everybody else. That is where his love for boxing and fighting in general come from. For a brief moment he can take control of things becoming the captain of his path. If only for a brief moment. All his life his life he's been drifing with a sad knowledge that for man like him he's only on borrowed time. The clock is ticking but he doesn't know when it will stop.
Likes: Boxing, video games, working out, good food, fighting, solitude, fixing classic cars, and reading
Dislikes: Extroverts, stupidity, spiders, darkness, blondes, bad food, pacifists, school

Last RP, there were about 8 PC's. Currently, we have 5 PC's and we might start turn some cogs later this week. However, I'm aiming for the same amount of about 8 PC's, so there is still tons of spots for PC's.

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.

I like the idea of 8 PCs. It was a good player size

If we get the number, I’ll probably remove some NPCs

We still should have a bit of a deadline set up, though. I'm available to start the RP even if we don't reach 8 PC's.

What do you have in mind in PST in terms of the deadline date?

I was thinking 1 more week but we can definitely start sooner (the first step after Launch is to randomly assign the killers and then trade a few TGs several ways to set the direction)

A week might be excessive. Perhaps wednesday? Then again Thanksgiving might get in the way.

I’m hoping for more players because if we go in with 5 players total, we’re going to have a semi-awkward situation where potentially 4/5 of all players (literally 4 players out of five), already know at least the identity of one or more murderer going in

With 8 players, at least half the players are in the dark about the actual killers, making the suspense greater

It's possible to start things after Thanksgiving. Most people are probably going to be away from the internet to celebrate with each other. How about Friday? For a deadline, how does 12PM PST sound?

When I mean 12 PM, I been during the noon of Friday. I might be asleep at midnight PST, so I figured the deadline can be in the morning at noon the day after Thanksgiving. If that's ok.

I think the plan is to choose randomly killers at the deadline and then TG them secretly.

The killer is not guaranteed to be a PC but there’s discussion about changing the virtual dice setting to slightly/substantially increase the odds of a PC controlled killer.

Would you like to be killer? :)

Rather more I'm about to go on a trip for Thanksgiving and I'd like to know if I should check my TGs on any given day. Also I'd be just constantly suspicious of players if I hadn't asked that question.

The killers identities must be kept secret as long as possible

Is there a possibility of Anna Winchester (and others) appearing in flashbacks from Ava’s POV?

That would be cool

Maybe! We'll see how things go. I also want things to be accessible for everybody, even those who didn't follow the first rp, so referencing characters from the other one might not be great since besides Ava showing up again and the plot being the same, in theory the two aren't related.
