Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.

Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:

  • NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
  • Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
  • If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
  • While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
  • Have fun!

    Original post 

Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

[up][up]So where can I park the ship? It should be heading towards wherever you're posting from, and it's got a beacon on it, which repeatedly sends "ICA" in binary.

[up]There should be two people coming to evacuate you soon, just sit tight! Maybe arm yourself.

[up][up]...hope you weren't too keen on that challenge, ship ran out of fuel, presumably from chasing yours. Let me know if you still want to try, I'll get over there and refuel it.

Anyways, how's everyone? I'm currently staring at database entries of a couple organization buildings, all labeled "SCP Foundation Site 13", each in a different world, and I have no idea which one I should visit first.

Wasn't successful, sadly. According to one local researcher, the "Serpent's Hand" group doesn't exist, but hey, I've learned something. Now to cover the other ~13.000 entries...

...wait, I literally have the tools to mass-produce and deploy search robots, why don't I do that! I'll be back in roughly one hour, hopefully with the right Foundation.

OOC: Ica will probably not hit the same foundation that we know, because the SCP Foundation wiki in his world is probably slightly different, i.e. different naming for the GOIs, or one or two different SCPs. Largely the same, though.

Uhh, maybe? How much heat is it radiating? Because the one I sent ran out of fuel one day ago and shouldn't be radiating more than 90.72 W/m2.

Bad news (edited this post because I don't want to bloat this thread any further): I've been chastised a lot recently for my poor foreign policy, especially regarding the Scarlet King incident and how I started it by recklessly testing weapons on him. Long story short, I'm getting my construction privileges revoked until me and my peers can figure out a proper, reasonable foreign policy, ideally one that doesn't involve superweapons like the voiding ray. Might take somewhere around one month - we have a lot to discuss and vote on, after all. Until then, I guess I'll be less active here.

Hey Urist and Ark, I've got three questions - first, how much do you communicate outside of this thread? Second, how many other civilizations with the ability to travel to different worlds do you know? And lastly, can we borrow someone from your populations to discuss foreign policy here?

P.S. We got virtual pillow fights here, wouldn't wanna miss out on the opportunity. [lol]

   [up][up][up] 1) Not that much: I only do it when there’s something important that needs announcement or when someone contacts me first. 2) About 140, but only 67 have achieved any interplanetary flight, and of those only 14 have achieved interstellar travel. 3) Of course! Who would you like? Yaetuans,Birrin,(Wooly) Wumpos (island wumpos are non-sapient), humans or something else? [down] How long do you need them for? Also, we’ve decided that Blaze should probably be sent.   

Are you ready Blaze?

   Yep. See you soon!

Again, whoever can represent your interests best works. Maybe one of your pilots? Ultimately, the choice is still up to you/your captain.

Also, I meant "how much do you two communicate between each other" with my first question, but I guess your answers will do, thanks!

[up]Two weeks? Honestly, we've barely started working all of this out, so it might take a while.

Good news, the foreign policy conference was finished much quicker than I've expected. To address the elephant in the room, seeing Blaze talk was absolutely something new to me! ... Erm, anyways, here's what we decided on, which could interest some people here:

  • I will not be visiting/constructing in anyone (who chats on this thread) else's world unless they explicitly ask for it. If they've never talked here before, I'll take at least a month to monitor their world before choosing to contact them. And if I have any unused buildings in a foreign world, I have to deconstruct them.

  • I will only attack another civilization if they pose an immediate threat to my world or my allies' worlds, and there's no other way to settle the conflict.

Thanks again to Netz and Blaze for coming over and discussing things and Netz especially for somehow finding an OoB clip in the parliament room! Both are on their way home right now, unless they've arrived already.

Now, I'd still like to talk to Urist and the Ark about a defense/exchange agreement that we came up with during the discussions, do you two have time for that? If yes, where do we meet up?
