Simon Datura Consuela's tamales will exist, I promise.
They better!
Ryan256Hmm.... I've been out of the RP forums for quite a while. There are currently 117 unread posts in the galactic bar and 52 on the docks. Anything good going on that I should go through reading them all for?
Luke3107Uhhh, a dead body, a cyborg with a lot of blood on her hand, a guy with a magic hat and an Aisling Duval wannabe.
That oughta clear things up a bit maybe?
M. LehmanThere's a lot to be said for just writing one's own stories. I've got nothing against RP- but any fictional situation featuring only protagonists is bound to eventually get awkward and clunky.
An approach that I admire is what Jemine Caesar does- her logbooks are the product of RP via PMing that gets used as the raw material for a conventional story's dialogue. That's why her conversations feel so organic in comparison to the RP boards (not that that's any of your faults- you're doing the best you can with what you have!).
I think that Stryker's recent posts have to do with the frustrations and challenges of RPing in general- where no one is going to die or get hurt too badly, where no one wants to be anything except the clever hero, and where the temptation to snowflake the hell out is amplified tenfold.
Jemine CaesarNo worse than the blurb on the back of an admittedly weird bookLuke3107Uhhh, a dead body, a cyborg with a lot of blood on her hand, a guy with a magic hat and an Aisling Duval wannabe.

Oh, Luke! Spoilers!

Hit the nail right on the head. The drone needs to be taken care of. I was hoping that Cartridge would put a bullet in it, and there is one last major post. It wraps it all up, and is mostly finished, but does not include anyone in this RP, then it's back to the status quo.
And there is a point to all of this, I just hope it comes through.
