OOC 45: 0.0000000000000000000042% full

[TechnoScrabble]

As far as the craziness in Inside, anyone who wants can get play drugged crazies. I'm going to go throw some at aric's PC I think, and then maybe have a PC or two try to help or be crazy.

This new demon character that I made with Earl's help currently lives in Southside. I just referenced Jezebel because she seemed to me like the most likely person to be in a position to do something about her when her activities get out of hand.

[Morty]

Riverside does have actual law enforcement that will react if she starts trouble in Northside, Eastside or Westside.

Why the hell does Adir need a fertility amulet?!
Is he building a baby army?!
TELL US?!
SHOULD WE PREPARE FOR A BABYPOCALYPSE!?

I can neither confirm nor deny these accusations.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Ionbound]

Well, a lot of people have been giving birth lately...

[Arkhosia]

I blame February as a rule.

Tbh, Tyra may have been planning on using the amulet to make cambions and fey'ri

On a similar note, when you posted for Ark with a 'mischievous grin' when the amulet was up for grabs, I panicked a little. "Oh gods what does that mean?! I have enough kids as is, Raptor Christ why is she grinning like that?!"

[TechnoScrabble]

Speaking of Cambions.

I decided to name the half fiend greater barghest with tje electro-pulsey abilities Cambion.

You young people with all your rapid growing of babies, smooshed together from gametes of different species, like hybrid speciation is common and never results in poorly adapted forms or sterile mules! Back in my day, we adopted our children, and we LIKED it!

Happy?

"Hmm?"

Are you shaking your cane?

"..... maybe...?" >.>

[TechnoScrabble]

Hey, only one of my characters has a kid, and he got kidnapped!

Hehe.
We need an adoption campaign led by Happy.

Not an actual campaign!

Yeah! D,:

@Everyone: Plenty of people are in IRC chat about this time of the day through late night US-time. If you're online now, how about logging on?

Hey there folks, welcome back one and all! I wanted to start this OOC off right by adding a bit of side-along functionality to it. Since there was mentions of IRC chats last time, I feel that now is the best time to make a dedicated Nexus/FFRP IRC channel that people can use for the swift arranging, discussion, and clarification of scenes and plots along with the more stable OOC.

So in order to do that, I'm going to lay out how to use IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in as simple a form as I know, as well as mention a few other known options for you guys to look up and decide if you want to use.

Spoiler: Getting into IRC

Show

The most browser-friendly, non-installation, non-sign-up site for IRC I've found is https://www.mibbit.com/, and getting into the Nexus chat from it is going to be pretty simple for anyone who wants to try it.

Firstly, on the main page for the site there's a Launch App link that will take you to a page that looks like this:



The link may be partially obscured, depending on what browser you use, but that's just a site quirk and it should always be clickable. Now let's look at some of this page's options.

The Connect dropdown menu brings you to a list of different IRC servers that the client can connect to. In this case, Sorcery is the one being used. If you want to connect manually instead of scrolling down the list, then you can click the Server option and type irc.sorcery.net into the provided bar. The same thing applies to other servers. Though their direct URLS may not follow the irc.[servername].net formula, it's likely they will.

Next you need to decide on your Nick, or nickname for use in the channel. Nicks are floating things, and used server-wide, so your nick might not always be available unless you register it, and registering it comes with some side benefits, but requires you input a password when you log in to verify you own that nick. If there's enough demand for that I'll explain nickname registration and other irc commands in another post.

And after that, all you need to do to get started is input the channel name, prefaced with a #. In this case it will be #gitpnexus which means by the end your screen should look similar to this before you click Connect:

Trillian also has an IRC chat function, if you already use that for other types of chatting, and I hear that pidgin is serviceable and preferred by a few people. If you go to sorcery.net's site, there are FAQs detailing various commands you can input into IRC, as well as a very basic chat function there under the chatnow tab.

Spoiler: A Fair Warning to All

Show

This channel will be moderated, and will abide by the rules of the forum. Please don't think to go there looking to start trouble, approach it with an open mind as a tool to aid roleplaying and help foster understanding. Moderators will come from people who join up and want to learn how to use IRC to its fullest in order to help keep it a place people want to keep coming back to.

To those who aren't interested in instant message chatting, don't have the time for it, or don't wish to get caught up in another distraction, let us know and we'll try to arrange things to where you're caught up on some of the goings on. I say we because I'm certainly not qualified to keep everyone appraised of everything on my own, so I'll be recruiting other operators and channel-goers to help me with that.

And as a TLDR for those who already know how IRC works: We have a channel called #gitpnexus on irc.sorcery.net now.

IRC stuff over, FFRP stuff beginning after the break.

And because I'm taking a more active role in FFRP starting now, or trying to at least, is there anyone who might be interested in a plot based around condensed, evaporated dreamstuff that begins making people's dreams come true in a literal and possibly hilarious way? Let me know so I can get a good idea of what scale I should begin planning the plot for.

Posting from a phone...can I do IIRC from an android?

[happyturtle]

My guess is probably, but I don't know for sure, and couldn't tell you how. Look for an IRC app maybe?

[Deathkeeper]

Trillian has an app but I have no idea how to get it to connect to specific chat rooms; it took me a while just to get it to do that on my laptop.

[Ionbound]

Mibbit has a Google Play app...Maybe it'll let you download it to your phone, as well?

Just tried. Nope.

Do I have to use mibbit?

[Aric Kale]

Try just tapping the link in the OOC from your phone.

[Recaiden]

No, it's just convenient. You can use any client.

[Aric Kale]

So, LDK, once upon a time, Thatcher proposed a plan for an heirloom/artifact sword for the guild, and your character shot it down. Would you mind if Thatcher carried on with it anyways, perhaps making something carry-able by a bird-creature? I'm thinking along the lines of this/these

[Ionbound]

So, does anybody in HALO want to interact with Therlynn as she's giving birth, or should I just carry on with the scene?

[Deathkeeper]

Iggy shot it down as a means for the guild since so few have weapon training. Had Thatcher said "hey guys I want a better sword help me out" Iggy would have agreed instantly. In this case I'm not sure how those would work since for anyone but Iggy that would be not much more than a punching dagger. But if you can make it make sense go for it; my PC does not control yours.

And ah, Ga'Hoole. Such an odd but enjoyable series of my elementary school days. If Eragon was any example I'm sure its movie was terrible. I can't recall any film adaptation of anything kid-LDK liked being good save for Harry Potter.

[Gullara]

Well, a lot of people have been giving birth lately...

Pfft. My characters were spamming babies long before it was cool.

[Lost_Deep]

OI! Look up AndroIRC! It's not the most helpful program, but it should work if you can get it to work. If you have trouble setting it up, I might be able to PM you a guide.

I've downloaded and installed it but how do i get to our channel on it?

[Arkhosia]

.
I'm 90% sure that all your PCs are made specifically for relationship-related plots and don't believe in birth control.

[Aric Kale]

I enjoyed the movie, but I haven't read/heard of the books before.

Alright, I'll make it work
I take it Iggy wouldn't want a weapon then?
I'll have his sword break, despite its enchantments, then he'll kinda need a new one.

Agreed with gahoole.
It was okay, but stuff was left out.
