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.

They do. Though, as far as I know, the mods aren't strict. Apparently a while back, a whole world got destroyed, someone brought it to the mods, and they found that there wasn't a rule against that, so they couldn't even do anything about it.

I wasn't here when it happened, so I don't know the specifics. Apparently some freak unleashed an undead army on the world in question, and everyone within had to be evacuated to another dimension while the world was wiped. Might have been Urist? I'm just going by secondhand information here. Still messed up regardless.

Yes, that was Urist. I guess, for them it was easier to just destroy the whole world instead of trying to push back? No fixing it now, at least everyone's evacuated.

I don't know what Urist is, to be honest, but they have a lot of powerful Eldritch Abominations at their disposal and they occasionally post here. No need to worry about them though - they won't attack anyone without a good reason.

[up]x3 Person.

[up][up]I'm Icarus, the guy who built the fighters that are currently patrolling the airspace around your town, and I'm currently a little too busy to help out with the encyclopedia, but once I'm done, I can pay you another visit to help out. Maybe tomorrow or the day after that?

[down]More like "wizard with a disproportionately large sense of ego". Would you like a taste of universe angst?

Hey Ica, good news. I just finished setting up universe matrices, and I'm currently going through all the last bits of research. You know what this means!

Hey Arthur, grats on the universe matrices! Hope you had fun making your Dyson Sphere. Sadly, I'm almost finished with Project 10K too, so there's nothing for you left to work on.

Aw, c'mon! Really nothing?

...maybe you could set up some portals into single-material worlds with copper, iron, etc. in them, and make some resource ports? Go finish the research first though, after that I can show you how the portals work.

About that, do the factory ships that make all the fighters take raw ore or ingots as input?

Raw ore. They collect materials straight from the veins (or from resource ports?) and process them on the ships.

What’s this place? Oh. Well, you certainly aren’t Flareshockers, or even from Crystallia in the first place! I am the Skyfall Core, named because I fell from the sky in a rocket, or at least that’s what I’m told. My memories of the before-times are a bit fuzzy because of that, so I’m not sure where I was before the rocket.

A sonailo, are you? Because that’s what I’m thinking.

If that word means “AI” then yes, I am a sonailo.

Isn’t Toki Pona great? Instead of saying multiple words, you can just squish it all into a single word!

   Can anybody help me? I’ve been trying to learn Ithkuil for a month now, and I still can’t make heads or tails of any of it.   

No…just, no. Did you actually think you could learn that nightmare of a language without some form of mental breakdown? Nobody’s done it except for the Ark, and he’s got an insane amount of memory(an geopabyte of memory, at least. Probably even more).
