all aboard the crazy train!

Ya'll are breeding like rabbits. I keep meaning to post this and then I'm like, "Oh, I need to add someone" and forget.

Ahem. Anyway.

Canon Puncturing. Thoughts? (Example, having Xander Harris geek out because he's meeting Batman from the comics.) I'm generally against it. I feel like it should be a straight no across the board.

To be clear, this is not the same as alternate reality knowledge. (Anyone from a Marvel Universe flipping out that Steve Rogers isn't Captain America. Bwahaha.)

I didn't want to say no for sure until I got your guys' input. Comment away!

RULING: The assumption will be no, you cannot canon puncture. HOWEVER, if you would like to opt in with your character, contact me and I will add something to the character directory which says it is okay to canon puncture your character so you can have that extra layer of plot wtf. Its not a guarantee other characters will know who you are, but it adds the potential.

• There's a dropbox and wanted page. Please utilize them for whatever!

• Room assignments! I trust you guys to pick room assignments appropriate for your characters. If you'd like me to assign you for the lolz, however, I'd be happy to. Awkward roommate pairings encouraged.

• Remember, canon puncturing is a default no. Please let me know if you would like your character to opt in and I will make a note of it on the character directory.

• Game starting soon! December 1st! I should probably start working on that opening post, huh? Heeeeeeey, Anya!

Your friendly conductor is charged with keeping the passengers safe and the train running on schedule. Some of the passengers are, however, are more dangerous than others. The Conductor may need a failsafe, some sort of secret, to keep your character in line.

All comments are screened!

Participation is optional!

What should The Conductor know about your character? Does your character owe a debt? Do they have a secret? Are they incapable of turning down a call for help? What trump card can the Conductor pull out of her pocket if she needs your character to do something for her?

Don't worry, we will discuss how the trump card/secret will be used in advance. It will, likely, be a one time deal unless you would like it to be something else. The Conductor would prefer if she did not have to blackmail your character(s). She's a nice person. That said, the safety and comfort of the passengers is her number one priority.

Those of your that choose to participate will get a prize to be determined.

Have fun and message me if you have questions!

One of the great things about being on a train is the beautiful scenery as you near your destination. While I have a few ideas in mind, I would love to have you guys come up with places where the characters will go, potential adventures they will have there, and what they see in-between.

You have all of time and space to choose from, however, you may want to avoid any places where current characters in the game live. (We wouldn't want a character to get off the train in their home world and decide not to comeback.) You can get really wild and creative! When it comes to scenery, it can be earth-like, the dead of space, alien planets or anything you can think of!

This takes a little more work than the secret, so for those who participate the prizes will be bigger. Come up with multiple places and the reward will get cooler accordingly. Those of you who have been in my games before know I'm big into bribery.

While the game is not officially open, I know a bunch of you are writing logs in google docs. Some of you may want to reference the scenery at the start of the game, so I'm going to post it in the IC com.

The game is not officially open yet. This is just for those of you who are getting started a little early.

I repeat: the game is not officially open yet. What I'm about to post is for your reference only. I will let you know when that changes.

Thanks, all!
