I need a bit more info man.
( I live in Newfoundland and since we are in our own time zone things are weird)

Oh no you can as a pen/pencil is REQUIRED to use a journal XD

I'm game. It might be a bit late in the night for me, but I'm an insomniac. So.


Oh, if we're doing descriptions, Sara has short dark brown hair, dark green eyes, black -half rimmed glasses, weighs around 90-95 pounds (Not much, I know, but she exercises a lot and has a high metabolism.), and stands at 5 feet 3 inches.

Okay... hmm we need to set a date and time

I'm happy with whatever time, as long as it's not too early in the morning and after 3 PM EST

Name: Ernest Woodward
Age: 29
Occupation (if any): Thereotical Physicist
Equipment: Flashlight, utility knife, some jack links
Character
Biography (at least a paragraph): Born in Glendale, CA, he always liked
reading books. He finished Gulliver's Travels by 8, and also loved to
write. Although classified as a nerd by classmates, he was quite agile
and has a bit of muscle. In high school, het got into science and left
the dream of becoming an author. He later majored in Thereotical
Physics. He never cared to marry as he is always busy researching.
Although he's been lived in the complex longer then the other residents,
not many people cared to know him. He doesn't leave the house often,
except to go on long jogs to freshen up, in the forest 2 miles from the
complex.
Essential traits: Kind and willing to lend a helping hand,
Good sense of humor, cool temper, quiet and independent, tends to talk
to himself, bit of a spazz, tends to bite his nails.
Other information: Distant cousin of Gordan Freeman.
Phew!

I'm okay with any time around 3:30-7:30, although I don't think I can be
here EVERY day, but I'll only miss it about once a week. Also I live in
California

Last but not least, we need to know where the complex is located, the size, how well its been maintained, and a description of every room and corridor. A drawing may help.

Trust me, we'll need it.

@ Picklen'UrSickel: I had an idea man, What if you (As soon as you have all the characters you want) make a post to start the story then give everyone 24 hours to post they're actions, then post the result of there actions(Where applicable) and then repeat?
This should solve the time problem. (Trying to set one time for everyone to RP will be like herding cats)

I agree with Zetto's plan, as I don't always get a bunch of computer time (sometimes I do, it just depends what house I'm at [split between parents' houses] and all that). and thanks for the pen (of course, that would mean that technically the journal and pen are one item, but who cares?). In any case, this RP may take a while, but it should at least go steadily once it gets rolling. and I do plan to draw stuff for this (hence the journal), so does anyone know how to include pictures in posts?

As far as I know, you just scan photos in a, well, scanner, then upload it via imageshack or another photo hosting site.

Well, it depends (kinda). If you've already uploaded it to another site, you can just click the "Insert Image" button under the title box.
If not, you can click the "Host an Image" button next to that. From then you can upload a file from a URL or your compuer. After hosting it, you'll be given a few links. The best link to use is the one for the actual image, as opposed to the thumbnail, etc... Then use the "Insert Image" button to insert the picture you just hosted.
Hope that helped!
PS: Yeah, I don't plan on really participating in the RP (irregular schedule and such) but I saw this and felt this post would be useful.

I agree as well, that would be a good idea.

Just letting you know ahead of time, starting Monday I will be gone most of the day for two weeks for drama camp, but I'll try to reply every day. Same for one week at some point where I'm going out of state for a band camp. I'm not sure if I should bring my laptop, because I'm not sure if they have wi-fi. I can, however, get on using my phone, but so far that's been chaotic.

I was thinking more of a first-person account, where we would take turns giving our character's account of that point in the story, kind of like a mental diary. I'm sure most of you have read a book like this before.

Yeah, I already asked for a map. Refer to my previous post for how I think we should write it.

I did notice that you wanted a map, Dr. Squirtle, I want one too, more demand = more likely to et what we want, right?

One problem I can forese-If some # of characters have a conversation, and they aren't around any others/ don't want others to hear (I know that we all start in the basement, but not everything said has to be heard by all, right?), (A) how do the others know what was talked about (if those characters are away) and (B) how would we communicate this stuff without the others in the RP knowing what was said? I suggest that we use PM (if none minds) to accomplish that. sound good (I feel like there might be some sort of problem with that, for some reason...)?

I'd like a map as well.

That idea is really good. I agree, we should use PM if it's only between a few people.

I'll just echo this

Thats really not what we were going for but what ever you think would add to rp would be great! im just trying to figure out when this starts as there are LOADS of posts on how I should Handel this me and myst will have a date by tonight also we dont have a map and currently we are only allowed in he basement if anyone would like to make a map be my guest! but currently we do not...

One last thing before we get started, I think that we should not bother with doing the RP on weekends, Many people (Myself included) have plans on the weekend and I don't think we want to be too strict about the progress of the RP, After all the goal is to have fun right?

The Slenderfreak wrote:

I agree with Zetto. I'm not super interested in wasting using my time on the weekends for a role-play. I've been trying to improve my social life, not cripple it horribly. Not that we should be prohibited from doing it on the weekends, but I have other things to do than screw around on the Internet all day. In addition, having the role-play at one point in time is gonna piss off my parents (who don't like me on the computer for long periods of time), and I don't want to sit there and click "refresh" for hours on end. Zetto's previous idea of the 24-hour timeframe for responses seems like a pretty good idea-I'm on Slender Nation about once a day at least (If I get bored I'll go on more than once, depends on the day and what's happening). But not everyone can be on the site at the same time, so spacing out response time is a good idea. I'm sure we can make this all work, right?

If we follow my 24 hour idea, We can post Mon-Fri and this will also give me a chance to be as involved in the RP as possible.( I am usually without internet access on Friday and Saturday but i'm back online by Sunday.)

Well, all things considered (Slendy), I'd think that staying in the basement would be a REALLY bad idea, but I understand starting there. How many people just stay in one place when they have a paranormal, all-seeing, creepy-as-all-et-out monster on their tail?

Im not saying that XD im just saying from the start! the storm would most likely keep us down there longer as storm of that nature could collapse the whole building .
