OOC 46: Creativity + Possibility = ???

[Hyperbolic sine]

Good to know...I always wondered which one was more correct. Since I'm closer to England, I'll use armour from now on.

[Earl of Purple]

@ LDK: Thank you for reminding me. I'm typing the BLOOD OP in Word at the moment, so replies may be slow.

@ Hyperbolic sine: Good! We invented the language and it's got our name on .

...and my character is from London, so it would make more sense for him to use British words

[ThirdEmperor]

Also, I'm glad ARMOR wasn't chosen. I'm English, and the word looks wrong without a U, especially when it's all capitalised. And I always start with a word and come up with an acronym for it, because it's easier and when I try doing it the other way around I get words that don't make sense.

I don't think Hatter's made any final choice on the name, yet?

[Earl of Purple]

Well, we call 'trucks', 'lorries', unless it's a pickup truck, which is a flatbed in America, I think. Mum has a u, not an o, and we use 's' in words like 'fraternisation', not a 'z'. We pronounce 'z' 'zed', not 'zee', 'maths' has an 's' but 'Lego' doesn't, even if there's more than one brick, and most importantly, sulphur doesn't have an f in it. If there's anything else, PM me; I'll always have time to help you get it right for a character from London. I won't get it always right; I'm Kentish, not a Londoner, so the accent and slang will be different.

Oops, well, um, sorry. I thought PREACHER was already selected. Sorry for speed reading.

[Hyperbolic sine]

Ohhhhh, thanks. *takes notes* I'll take you up on your offer if I need to, then. As for slang and accent...the latter is something that can't be written (I think), and the former won't probably be a problem, since Alistair tends to speak formally.

EDIT: I'm going to shut down and recharge my batteries now...good night everyone!

Nah, we call them pickups here. A flatbed is a different type of truck. Most are commercial vehicles. Most popular kind would be a flatbed tow truck.

[Earl of Purple]

Thank you for the correction, Kerfuffle. I've never been to America, so the differences I know I got from an American who was doing the same course as I was a few years ago, TV shows, books and the internet. A few days ago I learnt that sheriffs were elected from an American crime drama set in Wyoming. I'd always thought the Mayor or somebody like that selected them.

And technically I'm not Kentish, I'm from the Midlands- Worcester, specifically. But I've lived in Kent for over twenty years, making up about eighty or so percent of my life, so I consider myself Kentish though I'm neither a Kentish Man nor a Man of Kent.

Also, Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let Weird William bite. BLOOD will be going up tomorrow or Thursday; most of what will be its OP is saved in a word document on my laptop at the moment.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I never knew that sheriff fact, actually. I don't really pay attention to that sort of stuff, though.

Could also be on a state by state basis. Being in Michigan instead of Wyoming, mine could be different.

[Hattish Thing]

Because I hate temporal paradoxes...and Shoyler has just been shot in the back

Also, before I forget...unless you are waiting for alric to post, you can advance the scene at Black Dragon's

Shot forward! in front of! Not at! Luckily! (!)

The Temples of Dalachrech thread is dead. Very much so, in fact. If you'd be so kind as to put in a 'PM Earl before entering this location', that'd be much better, as then I can determine if Inside, Home or a Plots thread would be more suitable.

Also, I'm glad ARMOR wasn't chosen. I'm English, and the word looks wrong without a U, especially when it's all capitalised. And I always start with a word and come up with an acronym for it, because it's easier and when I try doing it the other way around I get words that don't make sense.

Yeah, I haven't picked a name yet for them. Seeing as the majority of the stuff would be Silver Knight themed, I figured you'd just keep that name. Unless the unified people would prefer an actual organization name?

Hmmm... any ideas, guys?

[Recaiden]

No, definitely shot at.


Also, what did happen to Caelynn's body? Buried at the funeral, right? I wonder if an enterprising vampire might find it and convert her.

[Arkhosia]

No, definitely shot at.

No funeral yet. The HALO morgue is her current location.
Yes there's a morgue now.

[5a Violista]

Apparently, there‘s also an ancient eldritch abomination sealed way beneath HALO, which is the reason the physical geometey of the base.changes every so often.
Not as blatently as AMEN, but it still happens once in a while...

[McBish]

There has been a morgue attached to the infirmary in HALO in the past. Or at least a place to store dead bodies. I know that has been used in the past.

[Gullara]

Hey everyone. Seems I'm here apologizing for not posting a whole lot, eh? I'm just busy is all. I'm less than two weeks away from being done my post secondary education, and they're piling the work onto us. I'm going to do my best to post some tomorrow, but it won't likely be a lot. Thanks for being patient!

[Murkus]

I'm back, baby!

And I got everywhere but Riverside. Please bother me if that's not the case.

...I really am out of touch, aren't I? When did this happen?

Oh, this is that Maxios thing, isn't it.

I get bored being sealed down there.

[ImpSyndrome]

@Recaiden: Just a quick reminder that Zefir and I are waiting on you in Trog's. Mr. C has described his friend Jace to the barkeep in hopes that he might remember seeing him recently.

EDIT: Thanks for the reply. I don't have much time online tonight, but I'll try to get a response posted tomorrow some time.

[Deathkeeper]

So, with the end of today I've finished the bulk of my end-semester work. I have summer classes starting somewhat soon, but I don't expect much daily work from them outside of the classes themselves.

So yeah, if anyone has scene ideas or dungeons or anything, I'm open to stuff. Obviously not anything since I don't have PC's for every occasion, but I suppose I could NPC folks too.

[5a Violista]

...I really am out of touch, aren't I? When did this happen?

Oh, this is that Maxios thing, isn't it.

It is, of course, Beans. Everything is Beans.

(Sorry, I don't remember what a Maxios is.)

[Hattish Thing]

Okay, so, guys in the Dungeons of Doom/Sith plot. Due to the dungeons being located in Inside, that plot was kinda drowned out, which is unfortunate but oh well.

I think we ough to just timeskip and handwave the thing, to get it over with and have the Sith return to the academy for their naming ceremony, lightsaber forging, and final injections. After that we can get the built up plot on the move! So, what do you think guys?

[Ionbound]

Sounds good. I'll roll with it.

[Arkhosia]

Sounds good. I'll roll with it.

Seconded!!!

[Aric Kale]

Let's just assume that Korwil was unreasonably epic.

And Shantelle gruesomely and painfully killed a person with glass from her glasses.

Stinkweed, I could be wrong, but I think it's your turn in Trog's.

And yet most 'English' spellings have been modified in order to meet French grammatical conventions, meaning that most spellings from across the Atlantic (which were immune to French cultural influence) are closer to their actual roots.

English is a crazy mash up of many other languages.

Screw the rules. We do what we want.

Just for fun, when I was doing the Inside OP, I used a UK spellchecker on it.
