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]I can't really look up anything from your world, because I don't have an internet connection to it. But since you seem to be so frustrated about your job, here's some food for thought: Let's say someone managed to somehow make the cleaning process way easier, to the point where you wouldn't have to do anything yourself. What would you be doing then? Isn't having something to do so much better than living in apathy indefinitely?

[up]Sure, no problem. Heck, there's a reason I've left them on patrol. Though, about the slow response time, maybe I can give your kind distress beacons?

Oh, and by the way, how's progress on the encyclopedia?

[up] Encyclopedia’s doing pretty good, got much of the basic stuff that we have on our island, as well as the…interesting stuff this forum has discussed.

Although, how does this “rescue beacon“ work?

[up]x3 I'm currently working out the details, but the basic concept will be something along the lines of "press button, get protected". Maybe a screen where you can pick some available fighters from the radar? Hm.

[up]x9: If someone made the process easier than I'd keep doing it the damn hard way. Maybe I like what I do, I just don't like getting no Primus-damned recognition for it and people trying to legislate my job out of existence. Plus, there are a lot of things you can only trust to be hand-finished, if you ask me. Especially cleaning up after your friendly local execution squadron.

You're on thin ice, mister.

Sorry if I can't give you any recognition myself, I rarely ever have to rely on cleaning robots.

Also, is that a threat? Because if it is, I guess I should give you a demonstration of my military powers before you try to attack me.

You're missing the point. You people are so obsessed with ~optimizing~ everything. Juuuust like the DJD moments before one of them forgets to check their vitals and blows a gasket... Maybe I like the extra elbow grease, huh?

Forget it. What else did I expect from a bunch of organics...

I guess I am missing some point, but I still don't know what point... What's wrong with optimizing things? For me, that's a method of entertainment, trying to make a machine component run as smoothly as possible. It's a puzzle!

Wait, I just got a cool idea. Brb, let me know if you want to playtest it.

P.S. Who are the DJD?

I'm from a different universe than yours, so I don't get the same info that you do. Why are judge, jury and execution united in a single institution, wouldn't such a system be susceptible to exploitation by authoritarian leaders?

Edit: Strike that, I forgot that the leader of Cybertron (forgot his name) doesn't get elected.

Also, made a new puzzle box. If someone wants to test it, tell me.

Figurative language, genius. They hunt down Decepticon stragglers and defectors, and, y'know, sometimes just degenerates, and make one hell of an example of 'em. Beauty to watch.

[up][up]    A bit worrisome if I’m being honest. Mother not noticing anything from that game plus the fact that Tim and Shadow’s friendship has gone completely unnoticed is a miracle worthy of the Makers.

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

I logged onto here again under the hopes that I would face less mockery and bullying. Not only was my hindsight ABSOLUTELY INACCURATE, I have faced MORE belittlement than I EVER had. I kept being called an "Epic Divorce Man", ESPECIALLY from that DAMNED MACHINE!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm done. I'm logging off.
