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.

Alright. Coming over in five minutes, just wanna make sure this new assembly line has the right ratio.

Ica brings an inter-universal radio to mitigate interference, as well as his whole factory ship. For positioning, angle relative to some three stars and angular velocity should suffice? Also, don't worry about RP skills, it's my first time R Ping too lol

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Don't worry, I've done this locating thing a couple times before, totally not exploiting TV Tropes' weak web security to read their radio logs. Thanks anyways — oop, I think I found you. 1720 kHz, right?

Ica should be there by now, does your character just need a starmap or something more?

Ship's harvesting resources from a nearby solar system, Icarus has landed and has started to build an observatory. Whatcha need? Also, is that an asteroid or a piece of planet surface?

Edit: maybe we should do this in D Ms or something?

I+m fin8 - hold[up###

Sorry, radio interference corrupting packages. Anyways, I'm fine - I've got a replicator on my mech and plenty of equipment to set up whatever I need, but thanks for the offer anyways. On that note - I can send you a (purposefully) broken puzzle box, and if you're feeling confident, you can try to fix it?

The box wouldn't really be broken, just behave like it was to make some of its puzzles more difficult. The tools to "fix" the box would obviously be on the box itself.

WATCH ME AS I PROVE YOU WRONG FREDDY
HELLO YES GIVE ME PUZZLE BOX

ugh
oh nevermind then
at the very least i'll receive a sufficient entertainment watching you suck ass at fixing it
i think i'll also invite chica and yiffy to watch the entertainment

Hmm yes I agree I think it would definitely be an entertaining sight

NO
FUCK OFF
I AIN'T WATCHING SHIT

tough shit you'll be watching it anyway
after all you can't return to the pirate cove doing your perverted shit since i burned it down

[up][up]The delivery will have to wait for a while, I'm currently on a job that will probably involve dwarf planet moving. I'll send the box as soon as I'm done, promise!

[up]The chunk that I'm working with isn't exactly planet-sized, but it is more massive than it's supposed to be. And yes, most (observed) planets are orbiting a heavier object, but luckily this one isn't. Even if it was, I should be able to bring it to escape velocity using a whole bunch of standard ion thrusters.

Edit: Gotta go for roughly two hours.

Alright, I'm back! Today, I towed the user above me ([up][up]) into my Earth's orbit and gave them access to the CenterBrain's simulation. This job was something new to me, gotta admit, and it really showed me how much I need to improve my production... I'm low on deuterium fuel, again.

Anyways, to, uhm... Chica? I'll get to making that puzzle box for you ASAP. Expect an airdrop somewhere in the next 20 minutes. And don't forget - all the tools and instructions for the box are on the box itself, you just have to interpret them correctly! No need to use any external tools. Like a guitar.
