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]Maybe? Bet there's a universe with Australium, but without humans, where you could go mining. I managed to pay off one of the three Australium ore mines with some of my titanium in exchange for .8 kg of ore, and I have no idea how to turn them into ingots.

Since I can't take that stuff out of the world without destroying it, I've left my set of samples on the Beteigeuze C equivalent of Saxton's homeworld. Feel free to have someone come over and fiddle around with it.

P.S. On a side note, do we have a date for the match of Kolhi yet?

I'll probably have a tech or two go over and set it into a hermetic crate for transport. Will be curious to design a cataphract with a built in hermetic fuel storage. As for the kholi match anytime works fine for me

To address that C’tan problem that we brought up, maybe use the Dyson sphere itself to move it? Maybe by using a Caplan Thruster if it’s a Dyson Swarm?

The sphere’s rock-solid, so that’s out. Maybe ask the Ark to move it?

   Why not? [Teleportation to Universe WH-419-DFH initiating in 3, 2, 1, 0.]   

   Wait, where is that “Australium” stuff from? Because if it’s highly flammable, I think I found a new explosive base!🔥   

Australium+Deuterium+our ”Nova Mix”+nitroglycerin=BOOM!

   Well, I’ve got a cryo-explosive to counter that.   

liquid helium and nitrogen+Cryonic Ore+dry ice+Nova Mix+temperature reverser=…anti-boom?

Hey, guys? We’ve done the whole of the Virgo-Hydra-Pavo supercluster association(also called Laniakea, not to be confused with the space god)!

   Oh. Well, full-on demigod status coming up!   

Hooray! Now we can finish our    mission    faster!

It’s not all good. For one thing, I feel a bit…   off.    Second, we still have a Styx of a long way to go!

[down][down] The C’tan are pretty much star-demons that eat souls. They all got splintered a while back except for that “Outsider” one I mentioned. [down] The deuterium we’re using is an explosive material by the same name as the hydrogen isotope, so they’re very different from each other.

For now, we're not sure how viable extraction and refining of that stuff is, so we'd better not burn it all. What Ctan problem are you talking about, does it concern one of the Dyson spheres in my homeworld?

Also, a chemical reaction shouldn't run unless it increases the product's entropy enough or releases enough energy, so I don't think you can cause an impl- hold up, that's nonsense. Of course you can cause an implosion chemically, just have the reaction products have a higher density than the educts! Mind you, implosions aren't particularly spectacular compared to explosions.

Also also, last time I checked, deuterium wasn't explosive, just particularly easy to fuse into helium?

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

One last message before I go back to expanding my factory ship: I propose next saturday for the match of Kolhi (exactly 46 hours from now. For those with an exotic measure of time, the time since my last post is 2 hours, 26 minutes and 39 seconds). I'll start shipping in those who don't have their own method of travelling universes three hours in advance, and provide whatever equipment everyone needs. Midnight, Takanuva, Ark, Urist and Morga, all in favor?

...right. Phos, can you do me a favor and ask Morga about this?

[up]x4 Sure. We'll start tomorrow evening, and I can bring you over if you want to.

[1] Again, I don't know. I assume the Lunarians will overcome their fear and start fighting using martial arts, so I will have to actually damage them, somehow... I heard quicksilver hurts them?

Now we just need to wait for Takanuva himself. He hasn't been here for a while, anyone know what's up with him?

[up]Cool! It's honestly hard to describe my universe, as it's literally a video game that doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's a video game, with us all being self-aware video game characters. In case you're curious, the video game in question is called FNaF World. Dunno how you'll be able to retrieve me and how I'll be able to exist outside the video game, but eh, who knows how I'll come into existence outside the boundaries of my homeworld.

Still, I'd really like to play that game of yours. Maybe you'll figure something out...I hope.
