Sabra La Tau OOC

I think I’ll just let REM do the explaining here.

Without getting too gushy (and please believe, there will be gushing later) we have had so, so much fun ramping up the plot and exploding all the things with everyone. But it feels like stamina is running low all around, and attention is wandering. Which is cool! No one can’t say that a whole crapton of awesome RPing has not gone down in this place.

So it’s about time for Last Calls, ladies and gents. We are looking to have next weekend conclude the plot of Sabra La Tau.

Prom will kick off some time Friday in the generally “this is when most people can make it” slot of mid-afternoon PST. We’ll probably try to pull something like the last Mirror Quest when we have two or three definite slots of Shit Going Down, looking to have all the down-going shit well and down-gotten by Sunday. After that, everyone is free to after-party/sandbox/musebox to their hearts content. In other words: you don’t have to go home, but we ain’t moddin’ here.

ALONG THOSE LINES if there are characters you feel like picking up for endgame now is the time. If you put in a reapp, a mod will stamp it as soon as they see it and you can get to playing!

OPINIONS NEEDED we are also thinking of lifting character limits/activity/whatever for this last week, that you may all get ALL OF THE REAPP CHARACTERS in there. But as stated, we know that energy levels are getting in the red in some cases.

SO BASICALLY: Would picking back up your umpteen dropped character be an awesome thing you would love, or a thing that may stretch already thinned attentions?

CLARIFYING ETA you may reapp whoever you like, but if you dropped in any method besides Pillar, Foreman, or fairy run-of-the-mill Judgenapping, please await further instructions before hopping back in. /o/

Y'ALL WE ARE STOKED THAT YOU ARE STOKED. Super stoked. But please toss up a re-app on the page and wait for a stamp before you hop back in.

ilu all like times a billion ♥♥♥

Hi guys! Sorry for the spam, but the time's been set for Haunted's game. It's going to be 9 am Sunday, December 4th JST/ 7 pm Saturday, December 3rd EST.

And looking over the OOC comm, it looks like there are a ton of hiatuses right now. Just out of curiosity, can I get a show of hands so we'll have an idea what kind of turnout to expect? :oa Thanks!

As some of you already know, Mirror is going to be involved in a heart game of her verrry own! It will be full of love and glass and kittens. +_+ Since there are a lot of different IC and OOC motivations involved, as well as lots of different timezones, I will be running her heart in three shifts this upcoming weekend:

Friday, November 18th, starting at 8 PM EST (mingle/kickoff at 6:30 PM).
Saturday, November 19th, starting at 10 AM EST (no mingle) and
Sunday November 20th, starting at 2 PM EST (no mingle)

Each shift will run for approximately four hours apiece. I've mmmostly tried to work around games and events; please forgive any overlap that happens. This is kind of the only weekend I can run it before mid-December. Each of the segments will have its own theme and will go rrrroughly in chronological order; however, each should have proper resolution as well so you won't get stuck with too much of a cliffhanger if you can only make the first segment.

A few things to consider:
+ Sign up for one shift as your primary. This is per person, not per character. If you want to play in all three, I'm cool with that. But considering time constraints and the fact that I don't want to go insane with running this, I may bump you from a less primary segment if I have too many people. You can note this when you sign up.
+ Consider the OOC/IC motivations of the other players in your group. If your character is gung-ho on smashing the hell out of Mirror and the segment you signed up for is filled with Mirror-lovers (those fiends!), you should probably think about touching base with them in this post. I am going to try and give everyone a fair crack at letting their characters do what they want to do, but you should also be aware of your fellow players' preferences before we even start.
+ Each segment will be taking place at roughly the same time ICly. This means that everything will ICly be happening AFTER heart-games on Saturday but before keystone shenanigans on Sunday. Time-space distortions are probably going to happen at some point. We'll blame it on the unholy combination of Persona and Mirror tangling up the timestream.
+ These segments will all be relatively simple. Because otherwise I will curl into a ball and die from all the plans and I am already feeling hella planned out due to school this week. ... this is less of a point to keep in mind and more of a disclaimer.

I think that is it for now! If I've forgotten anything I will come back and edit this sucker but good.

What happened: A few IC days ago, a mission was given to Cheer of Apus to collect two glow stones from the mushwood forest and to show them to Edge while they were still glowing. Unfortunately for The Kid, Cheer collected quite a fair number from one spot and caused the plants in that area to wither and die. One of the trees was a gigantic and ancient treecap that held The Kid's symbol in its roots. On day 288, the tree fell, causing a massive panicked tantrum.

Blanks and Ophi attempted to investigate and were mostly pushed away (or trolled) by The Kid! To highlight the major events:
- With Lenalee, Arson, and Sion logicking at him, The Kid was confused but made somewhat calmer.
- Waterbearer was a bro and helped fill the hole of the exposed symbol with water. '-' (STEALTH!!)
- Arson was allowed into tho the area as an honorary defender of the symbol! He also manages to convince the very trolled Edward to leave. Later, The Kid follows Arson to Hydracula to investigate a potential new hiding place, leaving the symbol behind. (They were guarded by half a dozen TOTALLY MENACING goat kids)
- Which brings us to Mitsuru: After being chased away once, girl!Mitsuru returned with the cloak (lined with pieces of dorm wall) and managed to slip away with the symbol without getting caught.

So, if anyone was near Hydracula on the morning of Day 288, there was a rather epic scream of terror when The Kid couldn't sense his symbol anymore. :(

Conclusion: I repeat, Mitsuru has the symbol. This is the worst day to be a judge, you guys.

P.S: Thank you everyone for playing and for letting me troll. ♥♥
Remember to submit your threads for scoring. Deadline is still Thursday 7.30am EST. /o/

HEY GUYS just a reminder that I need final sign-ups for the Mirror game on Friday no later than Thursday, October 13th! AKA when I get up in the morning on Friday I will be taking whatever signups I have and making up the game posts accordingly. :U!! My current list is as follows:

Bunnycorn: June
Lyvus: Hizumi
Pavo: Rapunzel
Delphinus: Link
Beardog: Folken
Orion: Mitsuru
Hydracula: Yuta

Still needed, if you're playing:
Pyxis/Apus
Cepheus/Lacerta
Cetus

Some of you guys have told me some unofficial choices, but I need you to comment to this thread if you want it to count. And if you want to change any of your sign-ups around now is the time to do it. Also! While I do need at least two people from each team/partner team present for the whole game, it's totally possible to show up later and jump right in.

Finally, I am in need of some Ophi volunteers! You'll be asked to violence blanks in some capacity for this game. Probably generic stabbings and injuries, limb removal at the absolute worst. I can do them all with Azula if I have to but that's no fun. :U

Hello kids~ Some further details on GM's upcoming game!

It will be taking place on both Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of this month.
On Friday game mingle will be at 5pm EST, and game start at 6pm.
On Saturday I am thinkiiing we'll mingle/restart again again at 1pm/2pm EST. May begin earlier if I get re-organized sooner than expected.

I can tell you it will be absolutely fine to come late and leave early, or to come and go as you need to during this game. There won't be any IC or OOC penalties for doing so. :|b

I'm claiming Friday, October 14th for a Mirror game! Mingle starts at 6:00 PM and the game starts at 7:00 PM, with the game running until Midnight EST at the verrry latest. Not sure how internal timing will work, but it will likely be divided into rounds and thus you will need someone from your team on deck for each one.

Which brings me to my next point: this game is gonna be pretty damn terrible! If you're familiar with the game Heavy Rain then you have a good sense of what this game is probably going to entail. Characters and/or teammates are probably going to die or be asked to do morally scrupulous things. This is also going to be a game that requires at least two people from each team (or partnerteam, if you prefer), with one being placed in a position of peril while the others work to solve it. For that reason, I need to know the following things in advance:

1) Is your team/partnerteam playing? It's completely and 100% okay to skip out on this game if you'd prefer not to tangle with Mirrordrama! Just let me know what's up.

2) Which member of your team is volunteering to be in peril? This member mmmmay or may not have a lot to do during the game, but should probably be vaguely present, especially during round changeovers. Also, there's a 50/50 chance of death involved, overall. Members who sign up for this should be capable of drowning (or OOCly okay with having water powers removed so that they can be at risk of drowning for the game).

3) Is there going to be at least other one member of the team/partner team available for the whole game? This member (or members) will be asked to do some pretty icky things in order to help out the teammate who's being held hostage. (OOC squicks can and will be worked around, as always! If at any point the tasks get uncomfortable, I wil be available for PM and email and I can change 'em up to suit.)

ETA: WHOOPS I am a derp. The sign-up comment below is for final answers only! If you want to note general availability in the post (which is still totally awesome), comment to the post in general and not the sign-up thread.

I thiiiink that's about it! Any changes to the timing will be later rather than earlier, since I'm coming back from RL stuff that weekend and am still slightly unsure as to how it'll work out.

Also, this is likely going to be her last game, so after this people are free to attempt whatever plot antics regarding her fate that you might have been sitting on until now. :U

Since Nightmare games were AWESOMELY TRAUMATIC we are going to delay the GM game. If Nishi wants to run her game tomorrow we'll swap places with her, otherwise please stay tuned for a new date tomorrow.

As a reminder, the mix-up game activities start tomorrow at approximately 8 PM EST! I'll put a quick mingle up at 7:30 to get things started. Ophi may run their activities a little later into the game if 8 PM exactly is too early for them. It'll occur early on the morning of 266 to allow for sleepovers/backdating for folks who didn't get to do everything they wanted to.

For this post, I'd like Ophi activity-runners to a) confirm that they'd still like to run an activity and b) tell me briefly what you're planning on doing! I'm aiming for abouuut 6 Ophi activity runners, so if there's more than that I might ask if you could run something next time, sorry. They should be generally activities that you can judge in a way to tell me who got first/second/third so I can score appropriately.

Also, remember to submit entertaining threads here! I'll be slanting towards teams who don't have a lot of people present for the activities tomorrow, but anyone can still submit and possibly get a win due to having a fun thread.

Nightmare game is still on for the 18th at 7pm EST.

What I need from YOU GUYS!

People who are running games: please drop me your emails. However, we're going to likely only need 5 unless attendance is high. If anyone wants to skip this time, you have dibs on the next set of nightmare games.

People who plan to play? Drop a note of interest here. If a lot of people are interested in playing the number of runners may increase. So lets attempt a headcount. If you have any squicks you'd like to avoid hitting, you can also mention those here as well. Or you can PM me. I'm flexible.

Game claim \o/

On this Sunday, May 29th, 6 EST mingle (7 game start) there will probably be a Mirror game (sorry moontimers...) with latecomers welcome.

Spoilers: It's Sabra Pac-Man. Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka.

I need at least two players from each set of partner teams (there's no max), so please check with your team/partner teammates. I would also love to have a volunteer on standby to help me run maybe two or three of the groups in case I get a bit overwhelmed, so if you're up for it please let me know ♥

Finally, you'll be able to OOCly choose your Difficulty Level trauma: Easy, Medium, or Hard mode :|b

Because a lot of people aren't in chan right now (possibly dying of finals during the remaining weekdays) I am posting AN UPDATE TO THIS THING and also a reminder to sign up if you're interested. :U

You can now sign up with both characters if you like! If you're going to be late it'd be awesome if you could get signed up by today, or if for some reason you can't until tomorrow, ping me when you sign up tomorrow so I can get you squared away with your partner before the game day. Also changed is the minimum amount per partner set. Three per would be NICE but it's fine with even just one now.

I promise I will stop cluttering the ooc comm now.

SUP DUDES! It's time to begin sign-ups for that bodyswap game I announced a while ago~ But first, there are some very important details to go over.

( IMPORTANT POINTS WITHIN )

I think that covers the 'do things this way' part of everything, but if there are other questions you can grab me in IRC or GChat or leave a comment under the questions comment in this post. :|a Game date is still this Saturday (the 14th), and mingle will go up at 4 EST/1 PST with game start at 5 EST/2 PST. Keep in mind this game is expected to run at least 6-7 hours, and very possibly even more depending on energy levels, so coming in late will be completely fine! It should be easy to jump in and out as you need too, just so long as you are around for a decent amount of it.

Posting here since that post is getting a little bloated!

۞ Due to everything being far more awesome than I predicted, I'm changing what I'm going to ask you to keep track of for endgame and moving it to this post. Instead of counting, please comment here with a list of all the titles you had over the course of the game, and what happened to them (whether they were stolen, traded, fused, broken, etc).

NOTE: I did Excel's and Flonne's for the day as examples, but you don't have to be as fancy as I am with the colors. I just think they're pretty is all. :(a

۞ ALSO! I'm going to bed pretty soon here, so I'm making a list of titles for moontimers/early risers to play with! If you sign in before I'm online tomorrow, here are some fresh titles you can pick from:

Beta
Never Good Enough
Pay Attention To Me!!1
Mirror's Advocate
ORAL FIXATION

And spare titles to replace any that have been stolen:

Mechanic
No One Special
Soapmaker
Zen, Thank You Kindly
Spider Princess
Holy Beast Digimon
Urban Sorceress

Hopefully that should be enough!

ETA: SORRY GUYS THIS MORNING SUCKED AND I'M HUNGRY NOW. ENDGAME WILL HAPPEN AT 1 OR 2.

As a helpful reminder, title swap game will be this earth Friday, 4:00pm PST! By which I mean only now remembered to announce that.

If you are planning to play in it even a little this weekend, make sure you dropped a comment here! Multiple titles are A-OK!

Due to her housesitting, Ash is no longer able to make her own game time this weekend, so I traded slots with her.

LOSER GAME is still tomorrow (now starting earth Weds 4pm PST), but we decided to run it overnight so moon timers can play. Endgame'll go up at the same time on Thursday.
TITLE SWAP GAME will be this Friday (4pm PST) and run until Sunday (again, you don't need to make EITHER post for this one)
ASH'S WOLF GAME is now starting Thursday, March 31st.

The calendar has been updated to reflect all changes.

Claiming the weekend of Friday, April 1st for a super ominous April Fools game (CUE SUPER OMINOUS THUNDERCLAP)!!!



Nah, I'm just messin' with ya, it's a title swap game. Posts will be on Friday and Sunday, and hell maybe even on Saturday too (I may tweak the times, but for now I will probably go for my standard 4pm PST). Just like last time, you do not need to be present at ANY of the posts to participate, nor do you need to title-swap to help your teammates win. What you do need to do is comment here with your characters' titles!

So what is a title? Here is some C&P from the last title-gathering post: A title is basically a word or short phrase describing the class or story role that your character would have if they were in an RPG. Also note that titles do NOT have to be truthful; they can represent what a character wants to be, or what they want you to think they are, or something hilariously demeaning. So using the ninja turtles as an example, all of their titles could feasibly be Ninja Turtle, or you could name them by their weapons Swordsturtle, Nunchucker, Sai Guy... why can I not think of anything for Donatello besides Does Machines. Anyway, there are many options! Like if you were Leonardo you could make him Leader or Kind of a Tool or The Blue One. Somebody else will be getting this title, so I wouldn't advise making it too canon-specific, but feel free to be as stupid as you like. In other news, I STILL smile every time I remember that the ninja turtles are already color-sorted for Sabra.

HEY DUDES HEY DUDES STORYTELLER GAME from the 24th through 27th next week! Three day game oocly, with a little IC time being sped up as well.

DETAILS
( Basic Rules/Time Guideline )

ATTN: OPHIUCHUS
( NEEDED: OPHIUCHUS )

FINALLY if you intend to play, PLEASE SIGN UP so I can have a general headcount o/ As in, please say so if you intend to play at ANY point in the game, whether you'll only be there for decision making, oustings, punishments, one day, etc. Even though it's on a schedule, backthreading is SUPER OKAY and I'm lenient on moseying in and out throughout the game, as long as final decisions are being made 8|d

QUESTIONS COMMENTS CONCERNS ash this doesn't make any sense GO HERE o/ Also please standby as I make team name comments.

ETA ALSO for this game, you CAN play more than one blank/two teams if you wish! Just use your better judgment and be comfortable!

ETA 2 ALSO if your team is cool with it, you can totally throw in a character last second just to take an action punishment/get killed in the Ousting. Not even gonna lie, this game is 90% all about terrible things happening :|d

A few quick notes about the Twins game coming up at 4pm PST/ 7pm EST on Saturday, March 12th. (That's Sunday the 13th, 9am for moontimers.)

If you're interested in playing, we need a list of ten (10) facts about your character, such as a hobby, a peculiar habit, a memory common enough others may know it, a name or nickname, etc. If you absolutely can not come up with ten, do as many as you can (no less than five) but we reserve the right to poke you for more if we need them later. Comments will be screened, and please keep your answers to yourselves.

EXAMPLE:
-Bites her nails
-Has a sister
-Favorite color is blue
-Wants to be a policeman
-Knows how to make paper
-Used to go fishing with her father
-Plans to add a weather vane to her team's dorm
-Walks with a limp
-Remembers all the words to You Give Love a Bad Name
-Can cook really well

We are also looking for members of OPHIUCHUS who want to run minigames at the game. Please comment here and we will pm you to discuss the game and ideas for minigames.

On Friday, March 11 18, exact hour TBA, I will be running

an

Angel Game.

A long one!

I NEED THINGS FROM YOU HOWEVER. I need two lists of (maximum 5, minimum 1) items, detailing the following:

1) Five things your character absolutely does not want to lose.
- This can be abstract things like HUMANITY!! It could be the key to your music box. It could be ~freedom~. Anything. The idea is that losing it, whatever it is, would cause the character ~*stress*~ and they wouldn't like the idea of giving it up.

2) Five things your character wouldn't care about losing, OR actively WANTS to lose.
- This can be all sorts of things. Wouldn't mind losing an eye? ok. Wouldn't mind losing your virginity? Ok!! The baseline here is that it's something you'd notice being gone, but something that wouldn't distress you all that much.
