CoLC crossover RP, discussion

Well they are magic wings right, so realism wouldn't be a too big a concern.

But honestly if we wanted realism, then no. No air for them to affect.

Here now, fully recapped. I'll try to post right after I check on some things; it might again take me a bit to get it typed up.

I FINALLY GOT MY SHIT BACK, WHOO-HOO

After three weeks of electronic withdrawal, I finally get my stuff back. For reals this time. That said, I am going to rejoin the RP very soon; I just need to recap on a few things and adjust some fewer things on the new sign-up sheet I made. I plan on re-entering as the Judge, but only for a few days. Karkat'll still be in the City, hopefully, just not...important.

Alright, with that quick post just so some people hopefully won't be waiting on me as much, I've gotta get going early tonight.

Tomorrow is the early shift of the week, which I was told I'll probably be sent home early during; I'll probably want to rest or full on nap for a bit after I get home, so it's a hard call about when I'll be online. Almost definitely earlier than tonight though; even if I don't get to go home early, take a bath once I'm home, and then fall asleep for a whole hour, that will still be like two hours earlier than when I got on tonight.

Also, some time after I get on tomorrow I will have an anniversary thing up...

Happy anniversary CoLC

A whole year!

Time flies when you are having fun.

I still find it hard to believe this RP has lasted a year. My experiences with R Ps were always short.

Anyway, I finally made a post for the Judge. Thank god I have a substitute who doesn't give a crap

@Ominae: You missed Garrett asking Gon something.

Anyway, wow, not a lot of posting happening yet today huh? Well, I'm going to check on some things, then see about making a quick response post and see if think about if there's anything else I want to post as well.

Then after that, I'll be posting the special anniversary thing.

Wow, happy anniversary! I arrived on the second day, sometime in...November? I think I was stressing over balancing posts and Na No Wri Mo work. As I will be in the coming month.

Gotta go catch up on the RP now, and see what the Judge is like ;D

I remember it was on the day I graduated from uni, because I read your signup from my phone while I was getting fitted for a robe.

Posted! I think I might have skipped ahead in time a bit too fast - pillowmantis, I feel like I might have metagamed your reply to X, so let me know if you want me to go back and edit.

In celebration of one year running now, your GM has prepared something special. A little ribbing, poking fun at, joking about, etc., of you guys and myself. This is all meant to be in good heart, so please try not to take offense. Without further ado, enjoy:

(to be imagined in the voice of the honest trailers guy.)

The following post is rated H for honest!

Welcome, to one of the biggest RPs on the TV Tropes forums hosted by a single person, since Demovere ran season 2 of the MMFRPG; that steals all of its ideas wholesale from the MMFRPG, but at least admits it upfront; which specifically isn't a sequel to the MMFRPG, because the GM has a beef with one of the MMFRPG GMs that has so much emotional baggage behind it that it could double as an airport terminal- but nobody gives a crap about that. What we're saying is, it's basically the MMFRPG again, except not.

City Of Lost Characters

After lurking the thread for a few weeks, finally work up the courage to sign up, and meet the GM, Firock Finion, who is either a loving, caring GM that wants everyone to have fun. Or, a sadistic, Machiavellian mastermind constantly plotting the demise of all the characters. Or he's just a guy desperately trying to keep up with the posting of about thirty people while also keeping a part time job and trying not to let them both completely consume what little social life he has left. Whatever he is, he sure can be lazy; like that time he took several months to complete some minecraft photos, which should have only taken him a few days at most. Man that's lazy.

Put up the sheet of your favorite character, who the GM will never have heard of even though they're one of the main characters in one of the most popular things in the last decade; because apparently he lives under a rock. Seriously Firock, you haven't played Undertale? What the f-

After being accepted through the help of his much more knowledgeable friends, check out the metric boat load of information he put in the first post of the discussion thread- which you'll only read once, and then completely forget is still there a few months later. Then, finally start posting in the main thread to have some fun adventures; and submit your character to systematic, psychological torture until they become a broken shell of their former self. You know, fun stuff! And be sure to have your character criticize others- only to then turn right around and basically do the exact thing that they were telling the other person not to do.

Get ready to face the constant challenges of the city as the theme changes every day, and the god running the show throws in obstacles and hardships- literally just to create drama. Face off against the most hated villain in the game- no not the all powerful god responsible for all of it, or the power hungry demon that brainwashes people into being evil and eats souls, or even the xenophobic, fanatical space marine who would kill you at the drop of a hat- Jackson, a normal human dude with no magic powers or special abilities; he's just a perverted douche bag. Seriously, fuck that guy. Have your character travel to the library and meet Miss Tairee, a reality warping librarian whose boss doesn't allow her to play favorites- but she totally does anyway. She holds access to all the secrets of the multiverse, but instead of asking her what the meaning of life is, everyone just has her conjure food for them instead... Really guys? Okay then.

Make your GM silently rage to himself because he was raised to be a Grammar Nazi, by making common writing mistakes and errors, like: Making typical misspellings, improper grammar, and misuse or lack of use of punctuation; using way more words to set up context for your character's action and unnecessarily recap everything that happened around them since your previous post, than for the action itself; having multiple characters speaking dialogue in the same paragraph; posting nothing but a line of dialogue with no context, not even clarifying who your character is talking to; and the one which makes him most angry of all, replacing letters with numbers and other symbols for spoken dialogue.

Try to make it past your first week without dropping out, because you realize you can't keep up with the amount of stuff the big name regulars post on a daily basis. Then, engross yourself further in the RP's society by making a throwaway skype account and joining the group chat. Where the chat moves a mile a minute, everyone gets shipped with everyone, Cole Minor tells tales of how absolutely insane her life is, Locoman makes stupid challenge suggestions just to be silly, All Hail Thrall takes everything way too literally, the GM tells all the inappropriate sex jokes he can't make in the threads without infringing on the forum rules, and EVERYONE. HAS SOME DEGREE. OF AUTISM.

So buckle up your stupid meme references, prepare to ship your character based on arbitrary reasons, and get so caught up in the fun that you completely forget it's literally just reading and writing. Lots, and lots, of reading and writing.

... So everybody thinks of Ben as the main character, even though Sans and his friends have a much bigger story arc?

Also, I'm curious if any of you can figure out all of the obscure/meta references in the starring list.

That is amazing. I love it. And I know some, but not many.

It's not a Penis Mightier, Mr. Finion. There's no such thing!

Oh my god the Airman reference.

You can't beat him ever. How different this would be it he showed up.

A schizophrenic rock

Thanks for making me laugh for no reason in the middle of the band hall, Firock

Jackson being /b/ almost made me choke on my milkshake

Sans confirmed main character

I was not expecting this for the RP anniversary but I sure liked it lol

I can live with Terminator/Arnold Schwarzenegger, though I've never watched anything in that series =p

It's alright, Syrika. If it wasn't for Sukkos I would have already posted that as my exact action by now.

Also that list was hilarious. It helps that I had my brother, who can do a pretty good Honest Trailers voice, read it to me. I might be the newest player, but already this RP has become a thing to look forward to at the end of a long school day.

@Firock: Oh lord, that's the best thing ever!

Now I feel bad for you for trying to juggle this RP with real life xD

O H M Y G O D

@Firock: That's pretty awesome.

Coming Soon™: City of Lost Characters: The Anniversary Gift: The Fan Audio

You mean by you? Are you gonna voice it? :o

In theory. First I may or may not have to wait until my cough goes away.
