I haven't been this pumped for an group RP in a while!<br/><br/>Now, when it comes to my detective, I really wanted to give him a John Woo worthy feel of fucked. Like, the job was the only thing keeping him together. He's going nowhere fast, and he knows it, but he feels like Dante can give him some information on the guy he's after. The guy who, it just so happens, is rousing up the folks that caused Dante to be moved in the first place. <br/><br/>I had shared a bit with Venom, and if she still agrees, we'll be going with a kinda Training Day thing where she'd being introduced to the job she's being promoted to. He's doing someone else a favor, shackling himself to her for the day.<br/><br/>And then the shit goes down...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I don't have a problem with that, and it is good you two are in contact with one another.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=87161.msg3831031#msg3831031">Quote from: Photo on 29-10-2010, 08:42:27</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">hmm... I'm worried that I'll miss the launch of the game. This saddens me. I'll be away from my designated internet island. I have a spot on the couch in my house that does wonders. But I'll be out of town tomorrow all day (this is when darkcide announced the beginning of the game). I will bring my computer with me just incase i find an internet connection, BUT! I may be gone away.<br/><br/>I bring this up because i fully intended to be there right when this thing got started... and i might not... and i'm too excited about this group and this story to not tell everyone the news.<br/><br/>I ask for nothing...... ...but. If i did... i would say: 'Hey guys! take it slow at the beginning of the game so i don't get left behind, please!' <br/><br/>Seriously though, do not allow my announcement to affect your actions. I'll adjust accordingly, even if there are fifty posts in the first day. I understand if there is a high level of excitement at the start, and i forgive all of you in advance. See ya'll later.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>You don't have to worry, I'm going to let everyone establish their backgrounds and have their characters set before the first real attack. Atmosphere is going to be established so lol. No worries.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=87161.msg3831311#msg3831311">Quote from: Writersblockade on 29-10-2010, 11:34:36</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'd actually hate for their to be fifty posts all in a jumble, but at the same time, we'll have about what? potentially 3-4 different storylines running until the trouble starts, and then it'll slowly converge to one main storyline.<br/><br/>I think we should converse on a few things. The usual, really - expected post length, and are we planning on going turn based? I'd also like to know how we handle zombies (after we find out that is what's happening) are we disposing of them a la 80s style Ninjas, or should we allow the GM to send them our way, and then send more when we fuck up and attract their attention.<br/><br/>Just a few things to bake the noodle on. I honestly don't think post length is a problem for most of the people here. I personally don't expect anyone to write a marathon post when nothing is going on, but I personally try to throw a decent amount of detail into action or conversation whenever possible.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well as long as people aren't giving one liners? I won't be picky in regards to post length, I will just say that everyone needs to give enough post to give everyone enough to work off of. A reliance on a turn based style of posting won't be too reliable. People have different schedules, and I realistically am not going to be available all the time. As for the handling of zombies? I'll give cues when they're heading your way. You can deal with them as see fit, but every encounter with one should be pretty desperate. If their attention is aroused, more will definitely head in the way of the disturbance. Not every encounter will be a horde, sometimes you might stumble upon one solo zombie. Other times, a group. You encounter them too frequently, and it moves into the realm of parody lol.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=87161.msg3831377#msg3831377">Quote from: Rachubka on 29-10-2010, 12:19:02</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Yeah, that's the problem. She's a student in Maryland! Came back to Detroit because money ran out. Forgot about that part when I made her up. :D<br/><br/>Probably going to she was headed to work / headed home. Gonna have to change her items, probably!<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well the motel in question is about 30 minutes from the downtown area. It isn't even going to be in Detroit and it is only 30 minutes if you're taking the freeway and don't encounter a lot of traffic. If you were downtown? You wouldn't be able to make it to the motel, that is going to be ground zero pretty much. There are a number of ways you could be near the motel though. Most of the good shopping? You have to go outside of Detroit's city limits for it. They don't have that many good libraries outside of ones on campus, or the main one on Woodward in the city. Not to mention the quality of bookstores is eh. There are malls in the area. You could be out on a drive. Maybe you were stopping to eat?<br/><br/><br/>I'm glad everyone is excited, I'm pretty excited as well and will be putting up the first post later today. Everyone won't have to wait long.
