Psychomachia

Are people still here?

Hurricane Suzusuzu is lonely D:

IF THIS PLACE IS ABANDONNED I WILL BE QUITE SAD.

Just to officially let you guys know that both mods are busy with real-life work, but we should (tentatively) be back to kick-start the game again soon.

Remember to comment in the Hiatus post so that we can keep track of when everyone else is busy as well.

Thank you for your patience. Stay tuned!

Hey Guys!!

I know this really doesn't pertain to our game, but I could really use some advice about something. (Again..not too important but I'd appreciate it! :D )

I am going to Otakon this summer and I cannot for the life of me figure out what to cosplay.

I have about 3 ideas right now.

-Female version of Kratos from God of War
-Fang from FF13
-The Original version of Tifa or the Dissidia version.

Here are a few thinks to pictures of me if that'll help!

I'd just like some suggestions on who I could cosplay without having to wear a wig!!

Thank you guys! :D Love you all!

THHHAANNKKKSS :D

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR CHARACTER'S SHADOW WOULD ACT LIKE?

And what terrible advice do you think they would give? Normal or shadow characters are welcome to ask advice, only shadows may give it!

Gogogo!

Just to make it official for anyone who might not remember, this week - starting yesterday - is the first day of school in-game. Feel free to strike up threads where classmates toss notes at each other during class, babble in the morning, or hang out at lunch, etc.

Birds that can't fly. What's up with that?

HELLS YEAH! THE POWER OF LOVE IS EVERY KIND OF AWESOME EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE THAT IS RESERVED FOR KAORU'S ASS. SO WE NEED TO GENERATE SOME TO BEAT UP SHADOWS AND SAVE THE WORLD AND MAKE IT THROUGH EXAMS AND STUFF.

RESPOND HERE WITH A CHATRACTER AND THEN OTHERS MUST RESPOND TO YOU WITH SHIPS FOR THAT CHARACTER. AMUSING POKEMON-STYLE SHIPNAMES NOT OPTIONAL.

Where? Dancing around my flippin apartment!
Time To flippin early in the morning!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY MAH FRIENDS!! :D

Make sure to kiss those of your friends who are Irish! Pinch those not wearing green! And listen to these songs over and over!!

I love my heritage!

So some of us are on AIM, and we were wondering if anyone else would like to join us in for a chat for the whole Cast. Basically we'd use it to plot out ideas, get to know each other better, and kind of work on things behind the scene in a way to threads and such. It's called Psychomachiarpg. Just link your AIM name here and we can add you in. ^_^

Just a quick note, everyone. First, you can begin posting in one of the first night threads the moment it's up. There is no strict posting order, but try to give everyone a chance to respond to things. Second, in Yggdrassil threads only while we prefer paragraphs and so on, you can post one sentence if that's all that needs to be done. Third, make sure that your character falls through a hole because they were walking past a tree sometime between 9 and 3 AM. The idea is that fate leads them to get involved, as Igor's dream stated, but that they'll be able to defy it with what they end up doing as a result - trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

High school dorm curfews begin at 10, if I recall, so if your character is a particularly obedient sort and you're at a loss for how they could be outside at 9? Maybe they're walking to their dorms to get there before curfew, etc.

Forgive us for the late update, but we have two more announcements.

First of all, applications are closed for now and will re-open in June. 

Secondly, a change has been made to the Social Links. The P3 and P4 cast (who are currently in the game) are no longer a part of the Major Arcana. You can still have them at the bottom of your character's Social Links page (for example: here is how Souji's is arranged) to keep track of relationship dynamics with non-Arcana characters. Just check the Cast or Arcana pages to make sure you have your S.Links up-to-date. Also, players with Minor Arcana characters must also have Social Links pages because of the skill-giving potential for the persona users.

Thank you everyone for signing up your persona users on the First Night post! We're very excited for your participation. Feel free to leave any questions you might have here and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Alright guys, it's time to sign up for something! To have some measure of organization come the weekend the game starts, we've come up with this.

The first night, characters will fall through holes and land in various places in Yggdrassil - none of these locations will be true 'branches' or 'dungeons' we'll see later, but random areas. Certain characters will happen to land in nearby locations and, hopefully, run into each other and battle their way to the center of Yggdrassil, where they might eventually figure out that falling into the fountain will actually pop you back to wherever you were - and they're distinctly dry.

The only shadows to be encountered the first night are Mayas of various types if you so choose, but they have to be assumed as weak enough for the characters to survive battling lots of them as they try to figure out what the heck is going on. The mods will not be writing the shadows in the first night - it's up to all of you to have fun with the cast battling and evading the relatively weak shadows.

In each thread, one of the four previous game characters will be present to, if possible, attempt to guide the other characters and reduce panic. It's not that they have any clue why Yggdrassil is there, but they have some experience with shadows. Each thread will represent one of four different areas (though they're all the regular 'branch'/'tree'-themed style) that the characters land in. They might land on top of each other, several feet away, etc., but the holes they fall through drop them off in the same general area.

We'd like you to sign up for one of the four threads so that we don't all get too confused about the chaos of the first night. It's assumed that the four groups will find their way out of Yggdrassil around slightly different times to explain why they don't encounter each other in the center. Don't worry, there'll be future Yggdrassil threads where everyone will be able to interact.

Try to keep the groups relatively even, but they don't have to be the same exact number.

"Team" 01
Takeba Yukari
Airi
Hotaru
Izumi
Kaoru

"Team" 02
Seta Souji
Chizu
Mirai
Reira
Shizuka

"Team" 03
Iori Junpei

Suzume "Muzume"


If the threads aren't finished by Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday-ish and your character is going to post a journal entry about it, please respect the people who aren't done and be very vague about specifics that may or may not have occured in the thread. Your characters can always be more specific about it later.

Okay so I figured that it would be a good idea to set up a thread about the Host club and how it works. So under the following links is info on the Club, about memberships, about clients, and places for rules and suggestions.

Please note I'm open for any ideas for how this club can work. The main goal of the Host club is not to match pairs, rather its so students can socialize in an environment where students don't feel intimidated and have to bend to pressure. It's supposed to be a fun and relaxed place where people can be happy and learn to get along.

( Club )

( Members )

( Clients )

( Friendlies )

I'm open to suggestions and Rules for the club. Comment below. Thanks.

You know what they'll do after school, or where they hang out.

Habits? Favourite foods and haunts? Where Suzume has them rated on her butt-list? Facts from fun to the obscure.

Tell everyone else.

To promote more thinking about character, and all-around sharing of joy as we get closer and closer to gamestar, a pick songs for my character meme! (Wooooooo~ okay done now.)

1. Make a comment with your journal & character's name.
2. Other people reply to that comment with their suggestions for songs that fit your character! Preferrably with lyrics and/or a youtube link?
3. ???
4. If we profit we might get in trouble for copyright infringement. Whoops.

A big “Thank You!” to everyone who has submitted to Psychomachia! The mods are very happy with the many awesome applications we’ve received and the equally awesome people who wrote them. Welcome to the game!

As the time draws near, here is a quick checklist~ Just check to make sure you have:

Finally, you may recall from the rules that this game is arranged so that one day in the game equals one week in real time. The week of March 8 represents April 2, 2011, a Saturday, which is two days before classes begin. The new persona users will have received their pocket watches and have woken up with them that morning (see Premise).

The weekend (RT, Friday through Sunday) represents the evening/night and it will be the night that all persona users fall into Yggdrasil for the first time. More information on this will be made available soon, but the mods’ general idea is that new persona users will be found by the veteran persona users. However, the organization will be tweaked a bit due to the mass of new persona users we have.

Stay tuned for further announcements coming soon! 

Since it's just the start of the game, we technically don't know enough about the cast to do a true fic meme. HOWEVER. Based on profiles, discussions, jokes, etc., start requesting fics that seem (however vaguely) plausible given the information you're aware of. People will try to write them out - however, you cannot fulfill a request that has one of your characters in it. It's up to other people to do it for you. This is what makes it a Guessfic Meme.

If you request something, try to fulfill someone else's request too. And you're not limited to one request! Just try to keep the requests/fulfillings even.

After the game starts, we can all have fun looking back on this thread and seeing how accurate the guessification was.

Hey Guys! I was just thinking, like with the previous OOC thread, people can comment with their character's name and hope for plotting opportunities.

According to the mods, the game begins 2 days before school begins in game. This is basically to help those who need some time to create things for their character to do during those few days before school.

Have fun!

Alright everyone. It's Dear Psychomachia time. Characters ICly ask questions and get ICly responses from the other characters. None of this counts as canon, but it's for giggles and amusement.

Thought it'd be some pre-game fun.

I just thought I'd let everyone know, if you're having trouble with the profile layout stuff, or want a version with the 'persona' block in it too or something, or whatever, I'm ready and willing to help you out.

This might be unnecessary, but I just thought I'd mention it in case people had trouble, since I know the layout thing is spiffy and lots of people want to use it, but html can be an issue sometimes.
