dannnex male Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 I'll play i like secrets. sign me up as Joe, the best friend of the guy that Skmurph ate. On 2/3/2022 at 0:25 PM, Archer said: I sign up as Skmurph, a polar bear that ate the first man off the helicopter and is staying with the team until he gets hungry again, but no one suspects anything because their travel agent told them that polar bears don't live in Antarctica.

Illwei Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 PSA that i will be playing very minimally this game
StrikerEZ he/him Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Just gonna say that I won’t be super active the first cycle and the start of the second. I’ll be at a big convention for music educators starting Thursday and going into Saturday.

That said, I'm in midterm season, so my activity might also be sporadic. 1
Experience he/him Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 I have a bunch of schoolwork, but I'm probably going to procrastinate and do this instead anyway so... xD
Mat he/him Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 Homeschooling with online courses gives me access to the Shard at all times... so I'll be active. And will (almost) always be active in every game. For better or for worse.
Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted February 8, 2022 Posted February 8, 2022 ah the day I definitely won't be on the shard, excellent, just excellent. BUT nevertheless I will be on the two days after the tenth so I will be happy
|TJ| he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Author Posted February 10, 2022 And that's closure on sign-ups. Gimme some time to send PMs and put up the first cycle. 1
|TJ| he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Author Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Cycle One - Fog of War Vexcave backed away from the window of the old abandoned base they had chosen as their location for the job. The Belgrano Base was an Argentinian scientific research station which was abandoned due to concerns over unstable ice structure, which suited them just fine. Unstable was just fine indeed. She looked up and announced to the room, “They’re here.” “Already? We’re not done! We’re nowhere near done! Are you sure?” “No, I’m pretty sure it’s some tourists hanging off a rope ladder and descending into a frozen wasteland because it’s fun. YES I’M SURE!” “That’s not - it’s gotta be a thousand miles away for you to -” “1,274 actually. And I know. It’s one of the reasons you hired me, remember?” she pointed to her eyes. “Besides, it’s Alexis.” she grit her teeth. “If there’s one person I can recognize from anywhere in the world, it’s him.” “Alright, your ability still manages to impress me every time you use it, that’s all. Temperate, how’s the visibility?” “Don’t worry, there’s a reason the helicopter isn’t landing. It’s going to take them a while to get here. All the others are briefed and ready too.” “Good, amp up the fog. Let’s begin.” *** “Alexis, this is really it. Isn’t it?” Alex looked at his wife, lovely as ever, and tried to push down the sinking feeling in his stomach. He gripped her palms tighter and simply nodded. He didn’t trust himself to utter the right words so a nod would have to suffice. “Oh, c’mon! Who died? You’ve always complained about the lack of adventure in your life and look, you’re in the most exciting place to be!” Albert was always the joker, always trying to cheer everyone up, and damn it if it didn’t work every damn time. “Alright, we need to start moving. Vexcave has probably seen us, and with all mist seemingly surrounding us, we’ve got quite the welcome party and quite the distance to go.” Reassured and slightly reinvigorated, Alex took a deep breath and began leading their group towards an impending doom. Here we go! Cycle 1 of MR56 has begun and will end on February 12th at 22:30 IST [GMT +5:30]. Let me know if you haven't received your GM PM. Please try to bold your votes and give retractions in green! Other than that, go nuts!

Ashbringer he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Here we go! RP might come later, I’ve got classes, but in the meantime, Matrim’s Dice. Who needs apathy, anyway?
Archer he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Just now, |TJ| said: Under normal circumstances, no. And yes, currently it is considered normal circumstances. Huh. That's a weird way of putting it if, as I was assuming, someone's got a PM making role. Kas * Earlier in the week: No one was sure where the 1930s-era typewriter had come from, but it lay in front of the group, having just come smashing into the ground at a very high speed, as if someone strong and nearby had just heaved it into the air to get everyone’s attention. “I say, you don’t see that every day. Blimey, someone’s even gone and typed on it.” The page read: PLKEASER ERAT MOORE SALKT As if just propelled in a similar manner, a large cloth bag smashed down next to it and split open to reveal a granular white substance. “Did someone… well it’s all on the ground now, innit. We can’t eat that! Sorry lads, no more salt for us.” From the back of the group came a sorrowful moan. It was probably just the sound of the wind. Probably.
Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 how does this work? sorry this is my first SE game and I just need to know how this works. do we vote each post?
Kasimir he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Mist filled the air, growing denser with each moment. Mordred grimaced and kept moving. Odds were, it was hostile Epic activity. Always was, really. The first rule was to figure out what the damned hell was going on. Alexis wasn't the sort of person to share too much information—need to know basis, he'd said, but as far as the briefing had gone, Mordred knew they were up against some tough customers, like Vexcave. Some sort of history there. He hadn't asked. Alexis, after all, was one of the few Reckoners left who'd never asked him about Balog, about Sarajevo. Mordred ground his teeth together. Couldn't say the same for the rest of their party. He knew Locke, had worked with him a couple of times. Then there was Nathaniel Walker. To say nothing of the polar bear. Hell, it was cold, for all they'd come prepared. In Dante's Inferno, the ninth circle of hell was all ice. Strange that people thought of damnation and hellfire. Damnation was ice, slowly creeping forwards as the walls came tumbling down. He shot a wary glance at one of their party. Sonia Biven [OOC: Devo] seemed to have been quiet on the helicopter ride, and Mordred wondered. It felt like Sarajevo, all over again, and he wasn't sure he liked that. @|TJ| - Suggest you see if you can get your IM or some volunteer to give Thaidakar a bit of the low down on the basics. Thread can do that as well, but it's probably a bit easier to feed it in GM PM and I know El/myself have had to do that before for new players. @Thaidakar the Ghostblood - In short, you place a vote on a player you find suspicious and do it in red, the way everyone else has. If you can't find the correct red, use [*color=red]Playername[/*color], remove the asterisks. To unvote, do [*color=green]Playername[/*color]. Edited to add: Thaid, bold it if you can. It's annoying for a GM to try to pick out unbolded votes so bolding makes their lives easier. Edited February 10, 2022 by Kasimir 1
Experience he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Archer said: PLKEASER ERAT MOORE SALKT I think I've found the krrok! The extra letters spell out krrok. Archer ~ Emfatic didn't like the cold. She actually hated it, most of the time. That's probably why she had been shipped here. They'd thought it was her weakness, back then. So they'd brought her down here to the coldest place on the planet. And when it turned out the cold didn't do anything other than freeze her, they didn't let her go back. They kept her, trapped in the cold that she hated oh so much. Because they were afraid. Emfatic didn't have any powers that could actually hurt others. But they were still afraid. Because who wants someone else to know perfectly how you are feeling? Nobody. All she wanted to do was help and protect others, but she was never able to do so. At first, she had been hired as a human lie detector, but she hated it. So she ran. And when she got caught, she was brought here. To this forest of white nothingness and cold. And she hated it. Emfatic also hated being able to perfectly understand her own emotions. It made it impossible to hide from her feelings, and didn't help with her interactions with others. Maybe...maybe it was better that she was locked away in this cold and desolate place. Because at least she couldn't hurt anybody. Anybody but herself. Edited February 10, 2022 by Experience oh it's krrok not krook lol 1

Mat he/him Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 Thaidakar. Hi! Don’t worry, I don’t actually want to kill you. Have you read the rules/etiquette page? RP to come from Orion later but I’m on mobile so I’m not gonna try to write that yet. Excited to see the sorts of things in this game, at least we won’t have to waste some of D1 on distro discussion :P.
