@linpug

Okay, how should we start the RP off?

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 2:40 PM

@hedwig68
I can't say how we should start off, as I can't decide for you, but I think that we should introduce your character.

hedwig68 • 19 May 2013 at 2:42 PM

@linpug

No, I mean like do we start off like finding the letter like we did last time?

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 2:47 PM

@hedwig68 You can start out wherever you want.

hedwig68 • 19 May 2013 at 2:57 PM

@linpug

'Kay.

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 3:46 PM

@linpug @ladybugheart This work?

Appearance: Tall and muscular, lean body and well-built chest, but otherwise slim, with a healthy tan. Bright red hair in a neat buzz cut, light brown eyes resembling caramel. Wears mostly black. A tattoo of a golden star on hiss houlder and two piercings on his left ear. Looks punk-ish.

@linpug
Wait, I'm confused. D: Are we starting where we left off, or just starting over again...? You told Hedwig to start however she wanted, but that could mean that we have some people starting where we left off on the other thread, and some people starting completely over...

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 5:05 PM

@ems They said we can start off wherever I think we're starting off anew, actually. I think it's better since we can change things that we didn't like =)

ems • 19 May 2013 at 5:16 PM

@jupiter_hollow Oh, ok. ^^' Thanks!

ladybugheart • 19 May 2013 at 5:26 PM

I'll repost what I said earlier, if this clears anything up. 😊

When people first start roleplaying, they usually give their character an introduction and set the stage for the roleplay rather than start in the action. Though the chain of events will ultimately continue, not everything will be exactly the same due to this.

In addition, parts of the plot have changed, potentially affecting the story. And of course, not everyone has a place they left off at.

Although "the chain of events will ultimately continue," users don't have to roleplay at a specific point in the story.

@jupiter_hollow
I think the form is fine as long as it's under 300 characters. ^^

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 5:39 PM

@linpug The appearance right now is a little under 300 characters. The original is about 700... o-o Just take the shortened version, will you? xD

@ladybugheart 's not how it always goes, y'know. ^^ I usuay introduce the scene, then the chaarcter and then start with action, but sometimes, I start directly with the action. It varies depending on the person. Shouldn't really hinder our roleplaying. And I'll be starting anew if you don't mind. 😊

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 5:48 PM

@jupiter_hollow
The shortened version in fine. :]

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 5:50 PM

@linpug Then why bother telling me that about the form? xD You're interesting 😋 Weird, but interesting ^^

ladybugheart • 19 May 2013 at 6:17 PM

@jupiter_hollow

I use in medias res as well, perhaps even more often than not. xD However, this isn't what I'm referring to. By "starting in the action," I mean having the first post in the roleplay being something along the lines of, "She dodged the fireball."

Perhaps in the previous roleplay, the character was battling a NightMare, who then shot a ball of fire at her. There would be previous posts to show what's going on. However, in a new roleplay, there's nothing of the sort. 😉

Along with this, it's also the roleplay itself that won't really be starting in the action, as Linpug just clarified to me.

Feel free to start wherever you want, though keep in mind at previous events from the old roleplay still apply. 😊

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 6:28 PM

@ladybugheart Completely confused here. You informed us that some things from the previous roleplay action will have changed, but didn't specify what. It will be a load easier to either tell us that or we start anew. It will actually give us a chance to redo things... make them better, y'know. And besides, I doubt anyone would mind that. Let's ask.

@hedwig68
@rushingwater
@ems
Would you guys mind if the RP started anew?

hedwig68 • 19 May 2013 at 6:34 PM

@jupiter_hollow

That's what I thought we were doing. 😋

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 6:46 PM

@jupiter_hollow
Rushingwater is not in this roleplay. ^^

As said before, start wherever you like. 😸

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 6:48 PM

@linpug Why not? :/ D'aww! Welp, her choice ^^

ladybugheart • 19 May 2013 at 6:49 PM

@jupiter_hollow
I can't say for sure how this roleplay is going to be different or change the way the roleplay will begin. I'd advise referring to Linpug if you have any requests or concerns regarding this topic, as I can only clarify what she's already decided. 😉

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 6:50 PM

@jupiter_hollow
Well, you would have to ask her yourself. ^^

As ladybugheart said, please refer to me for any questions or concerns. :] I would love to help! 😊

(To clarify, I will be making these decisions, as I am the owner of the roleplay. However, any questions about the storyline itself can be directed to ladybug)

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 6:52 PM

@linpug Well then, HOW are we starting? XD

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 7:01 PM

@jupiter_holLOW
We've already clarified how it will start. 😊 I believe we discussed this on the first page as well.

Ladybug's post explains it well:

When people first start roleplaying, they usually give their character an introduction and set the stage for the roleplay rather than start in the action. Though the chain of events will ultimately continue, not everything will be exactly the same due to this.

In addition, parts of the plot have changed, potentially affecting the story. And of course, not everyone has a place they left off at.

Although "the chain of events will ultimately continue," users don't have to roleplay at a specific point in the story.

EditL I wish someone would post. ^^

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 8:07 PM

@linpug If someone actually started at another point of events at the story that involved our characters - if someone continues the chain of events previously set and others start from the beginning the RP will be a mess.

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 8:10 PM

@jupiter_hollow
The chain of events continues for everybody 😊

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 8:16 PM

@linpug I give up xD

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 8:17 PM

Can we just start? =_=

We've already went through this discussion before. You guys were the ones asked on the first page, but it seems like some of you guys haven't bothered read our answers.

I QUIT!

jupiter_hollow • 19 May 2013 at 8:23 PM

@linpug hedwig already started ^^

linpug • 19 May 2013 at 8:31 PM

@hedwig68
Rushingwater is not in this roleplay any more. If your going to ping someone, please ping marinalily. 😊

You are also supposed to identify your characters at the beginning of each post, /as stated by the rules/.

hedwig68 • 19 May 2013 at 8:33 PM

@linpug

Sorry, I could have swore I identified Kat. 😋 And okay.
