[Nexus] OoC 1: The Shape of Things to Come

[Moff Chumley]

I object! He was never an invisible mech.

Invisible? I meant invincible.

an ACRO organization devoted to being, essentially, chaos-spreading griefers.

That describes AMEN pretty accurately... or at least old AMEN.

Yeah, well, you know what?
Mumbled incoherent response.

Oh, and mine has a stupid name. I'm original!

[Morty]

Hm. The original post of NO could use some serious cleaning up when the new thread arrives, which isn't going to happen soon, by the looks of it. Namely, the names of members who hasn't posted with their characters for a long time or ever should be removed to shorten the post a bit.

[happyturtle]

You can always start a new thread early.

[Morty]

I'm not sure if it's important enough to warrant a new thread.

[D_Lord]

Puzzle time in Amen.

Don't worry, it is possable to get it right and there is an nice prize. Besides you got 5 trys. I worked on this for hours. Thinking it up. It's harder than it looks to make a good puzzle.

[Reinholdt]

Since AMEN is no longer a silly thread with just a bunch of clones and pie related deaths, maybe it should be specified that godmodding is against the rules in the first post so that it's on par with the rest of ACRO?

Just a suggestion so that it no longer becomes a future issue.

[Lord Iames Osari]

That's probably a good idea.

[Moff Chumley]

To be fair, when I godmod, it's not because I'm in AMEN, it's because I suck at this.

@Morty, Rein, and anyone else in the missing GLoG members storyline: It seems to take me a lot more energy to roleplay meeting new people than to roleplay doing stuff with people my character already knows. And also being the initiator of action rather than reacting to stuff is also a bit more challenging. So sorry if I seem to need to deadtime a lot there when I might still be posting stuff in another thread.

Someone started a fire... one of Kaelaroth's characters, I think... and Drifter got wind of the smoke. Now people are panicking... and Drifter's about to go through his own security system...

Edit: Kaelaroth is the one that started the fire... she's the only one that can say when it's put out... though there's a few players trying to put out the fire, and get people away from the fire. Drifter? He's getting potential fuel away from the fire (his books)... and it's LOUD!

Argle blargle. I swear my connection has malicious intent. There is no other explanation.

Set it on fire.

Might not fix anything, but it'll make you feel better.

[Ashen Lilies]

I'm serious. Yesterday sums up thusly:

Early morning, Kris' room.
Kris: I think I'll check my mail on my iPod! Isn't it so nice to live in the future where such things are possible?
Connection: Why it sure is! Here I am, working perfectly fine and letting you check your mail! Isn't that great!?
Kris: It sure is Mr. Internet Connection! Now that my mail has been fully checked, I am going to get dressed and go downstairs to the study so I can post on the forums from my computer!
Connection: Alright then! *dies*

For a whole day, no less.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Wow, you know what I just realized?

I accidentally made Chris into a jerk.

I just noticed right now that Drifter handed more than one set of earplugs to him, and I didn't give any of them to the NPCs. >_< So yeah~.

[billtodamax]

*kicks KR's internet through a wall*

That'll teach it.

*desperately struggles to find reasons why he should post this*

Uh... um...

Right! The guy at NO's door who needs Cornelius and Haley.

So yeah. Get on that you guys.

Your internet connection is as malignant as the mice that plagued me last year.
Therefore I can surmise that your connection is made of mice and you need to put up mousetraps.

[happyturtle]

That's not necessary. Just add moar lolcats.

So, when NO hits new thread or I decide to make it earlier, I'm going to make some changes to the OP. Namely, I'm going to remove all the "members" who haven't posted in ages or at all. If someone has an NO character they haven't used in a long time but now want to, they're of course welcome. Also, I'm going to remove the arbiter/mercenary subcategories. The arbiter wing gets little to no use and it's better if NO members are just free to be hired for whatever mission someone has.
Does that sound fine?

[Kaelaroth]

Maybe you should scrap the "list of members" thing all together? It's just a little messy and hard to keep track of.

[Morty]

Yeah, you're right. GLoG doesn't have one anymore and they're fine.

[happyturtle]

It would be nice to have a membership list, but it's way too hard to keep current. We did make a good try back in the early days, with the GLoG wiki and all.

[Morty]

NO had a wiki, but it never got off the ground, really. NO doesn't have that many active members, so I don't think list if very necessary.

[Ashen Lilies]

GOD DAMMIT. I write a big, page long post... and then my Internet cuts when I hit post. And then my mouse slips while scrolling I close Firefox accidentally. MY TECHNOLOGY IS OUT TO GET ME I SAY.
...
Anyway, now I have to re-write it. I dare say that by the time I've re-written it completely my computer explodes or something.
*ahem*
Well uh, given recent events in GLoG it has come to my attention that- oh screw it.
All characters who aren't KR, Kal, Phoenix, Lucretia, Jazirian and possibly Johannes are now DEAD or partially RETCONNED out of existence, depending on which is more convenient. All loose plot threads not pertaining to above characters... forget about them. This also includes several plot threads including said characters (Lucretia was HORSEMAN DEATH in DISGUISE!1!1!!1!eleventy). I've lost track of them all or dropped the ball on them anyway. It's entirely possible that there's a character meant to be on above list that I forgot about, what with my Internet being a colossal bitch.
ANECDOTES IN WHICH I INDIVIDUALLY KILL OFF OR EXPLAIN AWAY THE EXISTENCE OF EACH OF MY (MANY MANY) CHARACTERS IN HIGHLY AMUSING WAYS GOES HERE NOW.*
Also I'm going to try and start roleplaying more and obsessively reading every single thread so I'm not completely lost as to what's happening and don't keep dropping plot threads like I did before.


*Possibly to come in a Digest post later when I'm not in such an OMG RAGE over losing it all.

*pats Kris on back*

I feel your pain, bro. I had similar problems for a while not too long ago.

Now, I have a thing to ask of my fellow FFRPers. See, I've finally decided to write up a character sheet for Jack Empty. But I'd like this one to have an avatar-sized image to accompany it. (Plus, I'd like to use it as an avatar)

Now, I would normally go ask around in the Arts and Crafts thread, like I did before, but as I know we have at least a couple talented OOTS artists, I wanted to see if anyone here would draw it.

[ThePhantom]

[Infirmary]

"But why me? I'm not an unpredictable psychopath at all! I just wanted to the hug the lamp! Is that so wrong?"

Reinholdt ponders this. "Pulled a gun on himself? Clever... Hmmm..."
Hmmm...

"Well... from what I remember while I was he, his goal was twofold. Unite the world under Astir's kingdom and pave a way for Shepherd to return to this world safely without need to destroy it. To him, that meant eliminating all sin, as that was Shepherd's big reason. It's how he managed to internally justify using anti-sapience on people. Animals don't sin, they just live. Anyways, the point is, I can only suspect he'll be trying to achieve the same goals, but switch up his methodology. Especially since Astir and his spouses aren't around anymore, he has no more allies. He may try to find some of those first. Someone who shares his ideal of uniting ACRO under a single rule for their own betterment."

Interesting, that's similar to what Gordon wants. Looks like getting a Reinholdt to join AMEN should be easy enough.

Could I hear a bit more? This isn't a character i know much of.

[Murkus]

Sure, sure. I was going to give a description anyway if anyone was interested.

Jack appears to be a male human. He appears relatively young, but he has a short crop of grey hair. Eyes are grey. He wears a fine grey suit of a varying type. It might be an old fashioned gentleman's suit, or it may be a more modern, grey-tied business suit. Whatever you think would look better.

Most prominently, he always has an unnaturally wide, toothy grin on his face.

At his side should be a sword, completely white from hilt to tip.

And... I think that's it.

If you need me to elaborate further, or in a different way, please ask.

Ah appearances. You're my bestest friend.

[ApeofLight]

Well since I haven't seen anyone else start up the island war thread I guess I'll do it. Expect it sometime today. If not today then I gave up on it. If anyone wants to help that would be greatly appreciated.

And on that note... nothing else really.
