Soon-ish, once some stuff is sorted out.

I'm holding everyone up, aren't I?

I'd imagine if it were just one crest design holding everything up, someone would have said something to you about it. And I doubt it's enough to hold up the whole RP in any case. (And if you're really stuck, I'm sure someone would be willing to help if you asked.)

I get the feeling it's probably GM stuff, and thus probably best to just leave him to it. (And I freely admit I learned that one the hard way, sorry for backseat driving.)

Anyway, sit back, relax, listen to some music and stuff...

I think it's rather the fact that we don't know exactly how the arc is going to progress for the moment.

*slaps Deady*

It's GM stuff, yes. Stop blaming yourself for everything. >.> I don't want to see you blaming yourself for anything else here, because all it does is drag you down, which is a shame because you're actually pretty good at this when you're confident about it.

Ahem. >.>

I just noticed two things...

First off, the dark side has at least three people who outright do not work with others. This... could be a problem. Or at least awkward.

Second, a question for one of my fellow players, out of curiousity... Des, you potholed "Uzma bint-al-Shaitan" to Meaningful Name, but didn't explain what it means. Would you care to?

I think it fits, honestly. One of the reasons why the good guys always win is because they work together well, whilst evil... Is prone to bickering, infighting and trying to push their own agenda over that of their allies (not to mention the backstabbing at the most inopportune times!). In the end, evil plants the seeds of its own defeat from the get-go since it won't cooperate properly, ahah~

But hmmm, we'll see how this works out.

True enough, but If the good guys have it too easy there's no dramatic tension...

But that's neither here nor there. Mainly, it's a weird coincidence that I'm concerned make it hard to play evil as a team.

There's always character development to consider. While I don't expect someone with a crest of Solitude to rely on others, everyone else could have some capacity for cooperation. And DNA Digivolving will be rather difficult otherwise.

Anyway... Still need to edit the map and put in locations and such. Then some back story details and I'll be able to start this thing. Shouldn't be too long, hopefully.

...What I was worried about is the basically the Cherubimon side splitting up and never getting back together again. I'd like to beg that it not come to that.

That said, looking forward to the game, and thank you for your work, Roxas!

No problem. And if the bad guys do split up... well, they have Cherubimon's soldiers as well, but spreading themselves thin is asking for trouble.

...And it'd probably be less fun if the bad guys didn't have some character interaction, the traditional bad guy banter and all that.

Man, I am so excited about this RP that I have begun to re-watch my favorite Digimon Series all over again!

I don't think my character outright refuses to work with others, she's just bad at doing so, due to her pride. Looking forward to character interactions :)

Likewise. And thank you for alleviating my worry.

Well...
Uzma Bint-al-Shaitan

عظمى بنت ال شيطان
means 'Greatest, daughter of Shaitan'. I know, heavy handed. Names to Run Away from Really Fast if she lives up to it, I guess.

Okay, Somewhat updated map.

White: Seraphimon's Base and important strongholds. Spread out to try and cover all openings.
Black: Same, 'cept it's Cherubimon. Surprisingly not on a full-out offensive. For now.

Dark Blue: Torrent Sea
Yellow: Bit Desert
Orange: Kernel Canyon
Light Blue: Null Device
Dark Green: File Forest Light Green: Plains/Towns/Whatever suits our needs the most.

Punny names are hard to do. It also occurs to me I forgot to add an arctic area. D'oh. Well, before I do, anyone have any other suggestions? Better names or placements?

For the 'bottomless fall' area: 'Null Device'. Reason: /dev/null is a special folder in Linux that utterly and completely deletes everything that's moved to it. (Hence the slang-word 'to devnull', 'לדבנל'.)

I still think the bottomless fall/inexplicable sky area should be the Cloud Network, simply becaue it's punnier. :)

Also, for the arctic area, the Bluescreen Tundra.

While we're discussing character names, I confess to naming Gideon after Gideon Graves from Scott Pilgrim (I was gonna give him the glasses, but the Librarian beat me to it). However, since Gideon apparently means "destroyer" or "mighty warrior", there's that... Plus, probably just as importantly, it's an acronym for Global Infectious Disease and Epidemiology Network, so it still falls under Names to Run Away from Really Fast. His last name probably would have worked better if I'd gone with the Tankmon line, but it sounded cool.

Anyone else's character name have a story behind it?

Argh, forgot about Cloud Network >.<

Bluescreen Tundra, though... sounds like pure evil.

Yeah, pretty sure any ice area of the Digital World would be Grim Up North.
