Nero's Rome?

Grimsage Matt · 09-28-2012, 11:32 PM

K, repost sheets, claim colors, post a blurp. Will have addtional setting info up in a bit.

OzzyKP · 09-29-2012, 09:11 AM

Do we really need colors? Why not just have all speech be bold?

OzzyKP · 09-29-2012, 10:19 AM

And here is the chart from the last thread:

Player	Character	Class	Ethnicity
ForzaFiori	Tiberius Domitius Crassus	Sage (Tutor)	Roman
Marthinwurer	Tyti	Melee Hunter (Initiator)	Egyptian
GrassyGnoll	Lumusi	Green Mage (Ophidian)	African
Holocron Coder	Eulalius Arminius	Empath (Mentalist)	Roman
OzzyKP	Gaius Afranius Quintianus	Noble (Dilettante)	Roman
Synvallius	Draganos Anastimenos	Zealot (Templar)	Roman-Greek

I think I'll choose blue as my font, if we're using character color-coding (the craziest concoction currently created! Sorry, just felt like alliterating).This specific color of blue, to be exact.

ForzaFiori · 09-30-2012, 01:45 AM

I'll use Dark Red for my color.

Marthinwurer · 09-30-2012, 07:19 PM

Navy for the cat lady

OzzyKP · 09-30-2012, 11:24 PM

Ugh, colors really don't serve any purpose... But fine I'll be a regal shade of purple.

ForzaFiori · 10-01-2012, 08:14 AM

Colors give your character that much more depth (since usually you choose a color that is related to your character in some way), and let you easily identify who is speaking when scrolling down a page.

OzzyKP · 10-01-2012, 08:30 AM

When scrolling down a page everyones avatars are far more noticeable.

Synvallius · 10-01-2012, 04:04 PM

Sometimes I forget what my avatar even is (although I didn't really consider what a binding covenant choosing an avatar would be, and since I didn't really want the one I have, it sort of makes sense that I forget). I agree though, that colors give your character depth. In a sense, anyways. Although, I'd say it's more for just easily identifying what each character said, as just quotation marks, or even bolding can sometimes be difficult to pick out if it's in a big block of text.

Sorry for the post delay. I had a convention this past weekend, so I haven't been able to do basically anything else until now.

If I'm still in, I'll go with my default gray color scheme for quotes.

OzzyKP · 10-06-2012, 04:24 PM

Yay, the forum is back! Now, where do we stand on getting this game up and running?

Grimsage Matt · 10-06-2012, 11:45 PM

IC is here. Now, ya it's somewhat sparse, but the way I see it, you guys are going to be seperated at first. So make yer opening posts, and watch rome burn. Not tonight, but maybe tomorrow.

OzzyKP · 10-08-2012, 10:47 AM

Holocron and I are working on linking our backgrounds together. Once we do that I'll have a better idea of where Gaius is going for the IC thread.

Holocron Coder · 10-08-2012, 03:51 PM

Think I got down the background, finally, excluding some minor edits. Sorry for being so slow about it

OzzyKP · 10-08-2012, 04:55 PM

I'll get a post up in a sec.

Also, Matt you said it is 63 AD, are we not starting just before the fire? Or did you just mix up the date? Either way is fine for me, just clarifying.

Grimsage Matt · 10-08-2012, 05:01 PM

Mix up on me part. It's the eve of the fire.

Marthinwurer · 10-08-2012, 05:32 PM

The eve? So has the fire started?

Grimsage Matt · 10-08-2012, 05:33 PM

Nope. It's only midday, and about 6 1/2 hours to go.

Marthinwurer · 10-08-2012, 05:40 PM

Ah, then I'll make a new post.

Marthinwurer · 10-08-2012, 09:12 PM

Alright, edit finished. I spoilered the original post as an archive.

OzzyKP · 10-08-2012, 10:01 PM

Excellent! We're off to the races!

Marthinwurer · 10-10-2012, 05:46 AM

So, we're still waiting on holocron?

Holocron Coder · 10-10-2012, 07:29 AM

Apologies. I think I was waiting on something originally, but now I'm not sure what I was waiting for. Posted

Marthinwurer · 10-11-2012, 05:46 AM

And now we wait upon the DM...

Holocron Coder · 10-12-2012, 12:48 PM

-twiddles thumbs- I do hope my delay didn't kill it...

ForzaFiori · 10-12-2012, 01:10 PM

Grimsage gets on like every day, he should be keeping up with this still... If he doesn't post anything this weekend, I'll send him a PM Monday - I like to give my DMs plenty of time and not be too pushy. Keeps you alive longer.

Marthinwurer · 10-12-2012, 02:59 PM

True...

OzzyKP · 10-14-2012, 01:33 PM

When you PM Matt, send a PM to GrassyGnoll too, he's also MIA.

We also need to consider the possibility of having to find a new DM. It has been a week now since we've heard from him. I understand not wanting to bug the DM, but a whole week missing with no notice or explanation is pretty bad. Even worse if he has been logging in to the forum still and updating other games.

GrassyGnoll · 10-14-2012, 03:00 PM

Sorry, I'm out. New quarter. New schedule.
