It would have worked if Calamity hadn't been a ginormous meanieface full of meanness. I don't have many solid details about Earl Greyback, actually. All I know is that New New England isn't actually anywhere near New England--I've pictured it as being somewhere in the middle of Nevada, on land no other Epic bothered claiming. But since the Fate or spirit that governs web RPGs has decided Greyback and Funtimes were a couple at some point, we have no choice but to accept it's ruling.
-
Funtimes truly does have an astonishing level of naivete. It almost seems like she spent years unconsciously suppressing all the horrible things happening in her world, refusing to accept them while she cultivated her child-like persona and ideology. Are we seeing more of Dark!Funtimes because Oregon events are beginning to shatter her fragile worldview? I for one would be interested in hearing more about these little shards of backstory. The Heracles incident in particular is quite entertaining. Do you have a solid idea who the one who enjoyed drinking poisons as tea was? I know there was a prominent headcanon a few Question threads ago about her dating Earl Greyback, but I don't think that was ever officially confirmed.
-
I would totally read "Dates and Fun Times: A WHIO Prequel." Just how many boyfriends did she have? Was she ever actually in danger from one of them, or were all they all below her power level?

It occurs to me that the RP probably has more Ensemble Darkhorses than My Little Pony. He'd have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, anyone who endeavors to bring more bikinis into the world must be punished by any means necessary. On the other hand, the sight of a grown and presumably muscular man in a chain mail bikini is not a sight you introduce to the world lightly.

I HAVE BECOME-- * cough * * cough * I moved past the Stormfather rank and became a Dragon. Most likely at the 6800 mark, though I didn't see the exact turnover point.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to turn this into a cutie mark. Ooh! I've been waiting ages for an opportunity to say this! Ahem, "You dawg, we wrote fanfiction about your fanfiction so you read fanfiction while you write the fanfiction!" I'm done now.
-
That sounds really interesting. I'll have to do some research into this--I haven't done much reading over the years about how museums and libraries store old materials. Rumor has it that the entire anti-female-Epic conspiracy is based out of Cincinnati, headed by a mysterious male Epic said to be permanently trapped in a chainmail bikini. Mitchell Mitchins...?
-
Cool. Just wondering what kind of procedures are in place for making sure old texts are given the chance to become really old texts in the future. Hey, don't mock Artiste von Fantastico! His male allies are very well taken care of. Lieutenant Mitchins: Top-notch National Guard recruit, moral champion, and NPC-with-no-first-name.

What does it take to set up an appointment in a library like that? Is there a fee required? Are you supervised by another librarian the whole time? Her armor is supplied by the metalcrafting Epic, Artiste von Fantastico. Apart from having a name that combines three different language conventions, he is capable of spontaneously armor out of thin air, provided the designs align firmly with conventional fantasy tropes. (His weakness is being accused of objectifying women. ) I'd like to cast my vote for Nighthound being given the sacred task of touring Oregon, trying to convince all female Epics to switch over to armored bikinis. There's no way he'd survive past his third failed persuasion attempt.
-
That sounds immensely fascinating. Even the idea of being close by to books like that sends shivers down my spine. Ooh, I thought of a new Epic! Chainmail Bikini: Powers: Superhuman strength, superhuman agility, superhuman reflexes, superhuman charisma, superhuman bosom. Modus Operandi: Charging blindly into battle in her homemade chainmail bikini. Weakness: Not being considered a paradigm of feminine perfection. Also, bladed weapons. She should come work for The Dalles, as the antagonist/on-off love interest of Lieutenant Mitchins.

My local library is filled to the brim with old books. I've seldom seen anything from the last decade on its shelves--the most modern piece of literature I could find was a Star Wars novel from the mid-Nineties. But what you will find are old and out-of-print classics. You'll never see the name "Brandon Sanderson" on the spine of a book there, but I've found old and frayed anthologies there filled with Asimov, Clarke, and even Heinlein stories. I even found copies of In the Wake of Sea Serpents and Uninvited Visitors: A Biologist's Look at UFOs--both cryptozoological classics from the 1960s, nigh impossible to find anywhere else. On the other hand, the best fantasy novel I could find there was an old novel by R. A. Salvatore, which repeatedly used the phrase "ample bosom" in an alarmingly non-ironic manner. I stopped reading it once it introduced the queen of the frost giants, who could be found languidly lounging in an ice-carved throne wearing less clothing than the average bikini model. Fantasy novelists in olden times seemed to have something against their heroines wearing anything resembling appropriate clothing.

Backtrack would be that guy who comes into the library every week to play World of Warcraft on the public computer and never checks out any books. (I've never worked in a library, nor do I know anything about the layout or management of libraries. But I do know that the public libraries I've visited in Texas and Illinois have been plagued by legions of teenagers playing video games on the computers. Honestly, I think I was the only teenager in town who actually checked out books. )

For a good explanation of free-form role-playing, you should check out the description threads for the forum's Reckonersverse RPG: What is Free-Form Role-Playing Rules and Etiquette

All Oregon characters as librarians working at the Portland High School of Natural Awesomeness. Somehow I think we missed an amazing opportunity while laying out the game setting.
-
Were it not for Calamity, WHIO Oregon would be a very different place. (Good luck on your project. )
-
I ship Neverthere with Altermind, just so there can be a pair of lovers who are never physically in the same room with each other. I know nothing about computers. The most I've ever learned about them is a few basic wiki markup tags. [[Links in brackets]], ''italic text in double apostrophes''... you know, that sort of thing.
-
You have no idea how badly I want Synesthesia and Glamour to be a couple now. Huh. I don't know. I noticed that on the first day the board was created--I viewed the site on a borrowed computer, and for a horrible moment I thought the entire WHIO board + content had been deleted. Is it enough of an issue for somebody to file a report, do you think? Or maybe we just need for the cache to settle or something. (Being entirely illiterate when it comes to computers, the phrase "the cache needs to settle" makes about as much sense to me as "it takes time for the Internet Gods to gather their fairy dust.")

He should be proud of her. A little girl who set up her own bobcat stand? That shows entrepreneurial spirit. My younger siblings have been rewatching The Croods over and over the past few days. I keep hearing Belt the sloth's voice scream "Dun dun DUN!" whenever people say something remotely ominous.

Thanks. Joe ST sent me a message that way earlier.

Ari really does have the oddest of backstories, doesn't she?

There really is an xkcd comic for everything, isn't there?

"Howdy Florida Man. Be a sport and haul my unconscious bobcat across county lines, would ya?"

Ah... forgive me if I'm sounding really dense, but how exactly does that work? Is that the same as simply commenting on another member's update?
-
This is a very minor question, and one that may not even belong here. I noticed that some status updates around the forum tag other members. Like so: Just wondering, is this a forum feature that still works? And if so, how does one go about using it?
