Lighthearter
President of the United States
OK people - good news, better news, bad news, worse news, horrible news and a quick presidential decision.
Good - I'm back from Summer Camp!
Better - I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TOMORROW!
Bad - I'm leaving to see my grandparents tomorrow evening and won't be back until Sunday!
Worse - Heavy cloud cover is seriously screwing my internet over right now.
Horrible - I'm plumb out of drinks beyond water.
So, MN, we have 2 options(narrative):
A) - Cancel it. I'll write up what I got and tack a bit more on to reach the hilarious conclusion I was after, and have that up today or tomorrow.
B) - Put the whole thing on hold until Tuesday.
Your call - I'd say A because I'm tired of dealing with it and want to get back to the game

I vote for C: You write up what you got, and plan out the rest while your gone, and write it up on tuesday. Then we get on with the game.

I think I can find at least 3 more if I go back to when Cull was in power.

I meant like since my term. Your just...well you seem to have gotten slightly radical since then.

ell with option C we would wait for the narrative first, then either we wait for pics, or send the plan to LH.
I really dont care if it looks a bit more like an RP. Its still isnt one. If you want to judge by how much more its like one than bobbtjoe's, then yes. A bit. But its still nothing like a real RP like this one. Everyone is hijacking the name so it will attract people. After all, this one probably has some attention since its so darn big.

Arya seems to be... actually sensible these days! 
However, from a writing contest I'm in for my school, I noticed that once you write the ending, you get quite the urge to go back and add a bunch of stuff in the beginning, such as foreshadowing, and such. If everybody else likes C, then I'll go with it, but...
Congrats on 1,000.
Cull and I were counting on chat. There have been (I think) 6 RPs (LH, Ilduce1, Arya, Bobb, Ilduce2, Dommy).
We're waiting for pics.

Sigh on the pics. Why are you and Cull so difficult?
Thanks.
No there have only been 2 RPs on these forums. LH's, Mine, and The begining of Ilduce's first one. Once ha started adding more votes and changing alot of stuff it wasnt really a true RP anymore.
If you count the ones on paradox, then i think then there would be 5 there, plus the 2 and a half on here equals 7.5 total.

I know that Whosit will want more pics, as does Ravus. Because Whosit supports pics, basically the whole Imperial Party (what, seven members? 
) will support him. IDK exactly what WIM believes, though we generally think along the same lines.
In my eyes, a RP is anything based off of RPE (this one), or anything based of of that, or anything based off of that, ad infinitum. I think I know what you are going to say to counter that, though... Since I'm not on Paradox, I didn't count that, but you can.

No. And RP is and RP. This system. Mostly these rules. Just because its 'based' off this one as these people say it is, doesnt mean it is one. They are almost completely different most of the time.
But these pics arent needed! I swear you and Cull are more stubborn than i am...we have everything we need.

I agree with Arya on the pics. I also was thinking earlier today that maybe if it is not to much trouble maybe one day in the near future LH could upload the save to the game for those who want to personally check out how things are going.

@Arya: Yes, I'm definitely more stubborn than you, especially in RL. 
@CP: Good idea. If we can't play the save ourselves, it would be handy to have a copy available to check out. However, I'm sure LH has his reasons for not doing this.

Not that much more stubborn than me though. If youd seen me in RL you would understand its very hard to be more stubborn than me. VERY hard.
MN this was already discussed in the first 20 pages of the thread. Somewhere in there. What he said was (and i agree with it) that he wouldnt release the save because that would allow us to look at the map and everything. Hes the GM, so he controls what info we recieve and when we recieve it. So we cant have the save. Dont question the ultimate wisdom of the blue belt GM.
Amazingly, I´m doing exactly the same thing (if you replace ´grandparents´ with ´grandad and his 2nd wife´, ´Sunday´ with ´Monday´, ´Bad´ with ´Good´ and add in a day-long break on Saturday to go to a club my friend is a member of and to a party later!
Plus I´m gone on Wednesday as well to visit a mountain shaped like a ).Back On-Topic, I also want pics and I put my brain under judistriction of MN.
EDIT: X-Post, and I would say that I can get more stubborn than arya in RL - I´m NOT shaving my moustache!

Muah, ha, ha, ha! (JK) Told you he agrees with me on the pics issue!

@Arya: Yeah, that may be a problem. But RB goes without trouble in all of its events. Other than certain people who believe WB is a OK tool to use in a serious game, the honor system would probably work.
arya126

RB?
The honor system isnt the problem. The GM should have the right to determine what information is given and what isnt. It just wouldnt be the same RP if we all had the save and could play it and such. Then theres the problem of people continually asking for a new and updated save. It would just be a bunch of hassle, and the game just wouldnt be the same.
