The Communal A Game of Chance Series Discussion

Motree and I are still thinking about AGoC, but we've kind of put working shit out aside for schoolwork.

Also, our school has chosen to be evil and piled about a hundred things into the week of March 12. That's the week when:

• The third grading period ends
• My group and I present our ginormous community-based government proposal
• There is a mad dash for final rehearsals for the school musical, Phantom
• Phantom opens that Wednesday, then doesn't close until Saturday
• The underclassmen take the Ohio Graduation Test for two hours every morning for this entire week, one section per day
• Our classes will probably all have their course tests coincide that week

So, yeah. If we start anything, it will be after that week. Pray that I don't shoot myself.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

In addition, I have a ton of personal shit going on. For one thing, a relative of mine got shot while he was minding his own business at school the other day. And he kind of died. So, yeah, kind of don't want to divulge on that much, but I hope the shooter dies in a car wreck. My grandma and great-aunt kind of also just moved to the house five houses down from mine, so this last week has been pretty much moving them in and cleaning up the fucking basement that got flooded with water and sewage thanks to the pipes and sub-pump going "HERP DERP I NO WERK". Also, the basement is completely carpeted, so it's twice as fun. Also, ever carried a massive fucking armoir up a huge flight of stairs? Those things are heavy as hell, even when you have your brother, cousin, and your cousin's friend helping out. Add what CG listed to what I've got, replace "community-based government proposal" with "sociology culture project", and add the fact that my internet at home is also being a "HERP DERP I NO WERK", and you've basically got a very busy and stressed-out GM.

Really, the only "non-work" thing I've done recently is make Adrian/West on Fallout New Vegas and begin a crusade of punching anything and everything I come across in the face. In the case of Deathclaws, punch in face and run like hell while my teammates take the hits.

Also, my knee is killing me. Probably because of moving all of that furniture and cleaning that basement. Oh well, at least I'm getting paid in both cash and permission to bum at the house whenever I want.

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

Wow...

Were you close to your relative?

He was maybe my third- or second-cousin, and I only really met him a couple years ago, and we only really kept in touch through the occasional email or whenever I'd go over to visit my great-aunt Leona and great-uncle Bill. Things were kind of awkward after our initial meeting, where we were at a fair and kind of didn't realize we were related and were kind of flirting until we saw our moms walk out of the Jack Daniels sample area and break the news. For those that have never been in that situation, it is awkward as hell. And then we saw each other at the family reunion the next day, but after that, not so much.

I'm also odd in that I seem to get over most death quickly. . . I've probably become slightly jaded to it due to the number of close relatives or family friends that have died over the course of my life. Death is sort of just one of those things that is inevitable and is bound to hit when no one expects it. It's always a shock and there is grief when it does happen, but afterwards it's just kind of better for everyone to just move on.

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

O hai. Something came up, so I should be coming back to school in time for English.

And, yes, for some reason, Doctor Adrian Kunstler now solves all problems by punching their culprit in the face, even if it has no face, is inanimate, or intangible.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Yeah, that was a bizarre conversation. But it's true.

John screwing with peoples' lives again? Punch him in the face! Engel about to get himself killed to try to protect other people? Punch him in the face! Ryu turning-dragon to shield people from a killing ball of death? Punch him in the face, then punch the killing ball of death in the face! Gear being a manipulative little shit? First let Engel punch him in the face, then punch both of them in the face! Prosecution going into Execution mode? Punch him in the face! Ryu and Kota getting drunk? Punch them in the face! Arzt being. . . Arzt? Punch him in the face! Lotte/Rosa going psycho? Punch her in the face! Redd looking at porn? Punch him and his porn in the face! Simon trying to light a hospital on fire? Send him porn, punch the fire in the face, and then punch him and the porn in the face! Ghosts? Punch them in the face! RP die? Punch all of the GMs in the- OOOF!

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

OW! GODDAMNIT, YOU BROKE MY FACE!

Adrian: I'm sorry. : )

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

-settles with hammer instead-

I guess Redd is Never Live It Down.

...when did Redd look at porn and why did I miss it?

On the first day, Arzt saw Redd burying his nose in his phone, took it away to see what he was doing, and said, sarcastically: "Don't look at that kind of stuff in public." Chichi ran with it.

The last battle's curtains will open on stage!

For me, that moment is a good contender for the Crowning Moment Of Funny of the series, right up there with Ryu and Kota being drunk.

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

Thank you very much, I'll be here all year.

Really, it was a Sure, Why Not? moment for me. I was a bit confused about if Redd was really looking at porn, but I laughed so hard, I decided to presume he was looking at dirty stuff.

Actually, not "porn" porn, but stuff that people get away with on You Tube, although it's still stuff that should get flagged. I had a few videos in mind during that moment, although I'll won't link them, for obvious reasons. I can tell you what show I had in mind, but that'll ruin the mystery.

Question is, should I even attempt to top it? One problem is if I decide on a joke of a similar nature, I need to figure out how to keep it PG-13. That entire scene would be something that would make the MPAA nervous.

But I'll see what opportunities will turn up. Perhaps our "Crowing Moment Of Funny" will be something far from sexual.

We already told you that AGoC is not intended to be PG13 or aimed at the YA audience. Yes, I've heard the concept is similar to The Hunger Games, but we're kind of not The Hunger Games.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Still, we still have TV Tropes standards to uphold. That entire scene was asking to be jettisoned into Fetishes.

But overall, we executed it in a way that we kept it from being too crass.

The only time when not to be okay with sexual content is when it's described beyond 'they had sex' or 'they were naked'. And so far, we haven't had to deal with that yet.

From my grammar notes on usage:

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Oi, don't get cocky, I was the one who set it up :P

My guess would be Game of Thrones. And if you're not going to reveal it, why bothering to spoiler that?

Guys. We all know that was me.

-is shoved back into the corner by Snowy-

Have a kitty!

In general, we're good with pretty much everything, and from the Period Scene onwards it was very clear this wasn't going to be the most appropriate RP, considering it involved a half-naked preteen girl hugging a 30-something-year-old-man*

. And then, of course, there was Spade's tendency to drop a Cluster F-Bomb every other paragraph, other things. . .

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

Engel was 37 at that time, I believe.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

DOUBLEPOST!

Is anyone going to be particularly busy two weeks from now?

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."

Not particularly...

Y'all better not be. . .

'Cause we have a super-special-awesome announcement to make.

“DAMMIT WHEN I HEAR 'SPACE CQC' ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BIG BOSS WITH A FISHBOWL ON HIS HEAD, STRANGLING AN ASTRONAUT OUTSIDE THE ISS."

I can't wait! :D

Does it involve chocolate? Kitties? Chocolate kittes?

Stuff happens. Post it here so we can laugh at you >=D

Yay! Excited!
