Things look Dead

[GATEGOD]

Yes, they look dead, we must change that now!
Make the board more fun and all :coolman:

[Blondie Bear]

*blinkblink* What . . . things . . . look dead? Exactly?

[GATEGOD]

This entire forum for one lol

[Mr. Pointy]

I've closed this thread on the grounds that it makes no sense...

[Buffy Summers]

I think they're talking about getting the RPG started up again :)

[GATEGOD]

yea , but do people still want to ? I want to ^_^

[Black Eye Guy]

We do have an RPG running at the moment, you could join that, but people haven't really been actively playing in awhile, maybe we would want to start something over?
Or anyone got any ideas on what they'd like to see happen/ like to play? Maybe move to something on the comic, or go back into the TV series, or would people prefere to carry on with what we have going, just more active?

[Lyri]

well, i got stuck, waiting for someone to reply, so i'll go with the majority on this one.

[GATEGOD]

Going back into the TV series might be fun,,, what is the current one that no one has posted in , in a while about?

[sk8rj04]

Seeing as how i havent read the comics...

[Wanabee-slayer]

I don't mind either way as long as I get to keep my character!!!!!

[GATEGOD]

what character should i be ? ^_^

[Keanoite]

Ok at the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, what exactly does all this entail. RPG seesm very self explanatory but is there more too it?

[GATEGOD]

You post as a certain character in the story, one person is buffy, another xander, another willow etc. etc.

If Anya isn't taken!!! i'll be her :p if she can even be in the rpg ^_^ If she is taken who is left? ooo maybe Oz >.< lol anyone?

[Keanoite]

Oh cool! if Angelus isn't taken is it ok if I do??

[GATEGOD]

Idk where is the rpg staff /calls out I have no idea really hopefully someone more insightful can fill us in

[Keanoite]

guess we will just have to wait and see

[GATEGOD]

guess we will just have to wait and see

I guess I am not a fan of waiting though, Impatience gets the better of me :lmao: lets talk about what the rpg can focus around and what characters can be present :p

Xander, Spike, Anya, or Oz. Pick me one and that's who I'll be I love em all!
:cheering: Surely one of these must not be taken :D

I see you as Oz..don't know why I jsut geta feeling!...I'd say the other 3 ae picked.

Do you think Angelus would be picked? I love writing him,he's so fun!

ok so what do you want the rpg to be about?

[GATEGOD]

Anything that involves Anya, Oz, Xander, or Spike ^_^ so anything at all ^.^ we just need to get focused on a goal and get this thing kicking again!

[Black Eye Guy]

Ok well before we go about casting, I'd prefere to find out what people want to do with the RPG. Continue with the story we have or start over. I would like everyones opinion on this, and maybe we should shake up the roles aswell, what do people think would breath more life into the RPG?

Our current story is set after Angel, Buffy and co have set up slayer camps where they train new slayers. The gang has just discovered there is a Vampire that used to be a slayer, shes stronger then a regular vamp, she's backed off for the moment and the gangs in England waitin for what to do next?

[Keanoite]

I like that story but where do ye want to go with it? Is she the new Big Bad or just an awkward kill? I'm up for whatever...

[DarklyDreamingDrusilla]

If this does start up again I would loved to be cast. I read the cast list from the past and I didn't see that Drusilla was taken so I would love to be considered for the role. Thanks so much and I hope to hear more about this. =)

[Lyri]

i think we should continue with this story...so many of us have already invested so much time in this RPG, i hate to see it wasted. (plus, i LOVE playing Gwen, and i'm worried she won't be available to play in a new idea)

maybe you guys should have a cast call for the characters that are available to play, get some 'fresh blood', as well as something to find out how man of the original cast are still around...but i guess that's what this is about, lol.

[GATEGOD]

Some characters are dead that far ahead aswell and others aren't introduced yet if it's before there,... so there are problems either way :p unless we change things lol
If Anya's dead we can bring in Oz ;)

[Black Eye Guy]

See I like the story we have at the moment, and I think it would be better to continue with it, like Lyri said we had worked hard to get that far. But I was just suggesting options.

And GG I would suggest you go back and have a quick read through some of the old threads of the game, we have had Oz in the game before.

I want to get back on topof this, so what Im gonna do is leave it till tomorrow, if anyone has any opinions on what they think would get the game moveing more please suggest away.

Last activity of Oz was 07-14-2006 01:42 AM :coolman: Does that mean he's open :)
I'll go read through the old threads ^_^

[Slayergal]

I've never played an RPG before but I would like to learn. I was going to join the one that is going but I got intimidated by the auditions. So I never auditioned for a part. Would someone like to help an RPG newbie out?

Edit:

I'm new at this. Never played or participated in a RPG. I was going to play in the other one but I got intimidated with the audition. So needless to say I didn't audition. Would someone like to help a RPG newbie out?

[GATEGOD]

Basically you are posting as the character. If you follow the format and the story line you should do fine. You're just becoming the character and posting as them.

The Sample Post
[Buffy in the Bronze]

:: putting her coffee down on an empty table, she slides out a chair and sits down. Hearing the door open she looks up to see Xander enter the bronze ::

Xander: "Hey Xand"

Xander

:: smiling as he see's Buffy he makes a small wave ::

Buffy: "Hey Buff. Hows things?"

Buffy

Buffy: "Not bad, just taking a break from the study thing"

:: pausing slightly ::

Xander:" Want to join me?"

Xander

:: pulling out a chair he sits down across from Buffy ::

Please note that in the actual RPG you cannot post as another character, this is merely an example

If you still don't understand or need more help let us know ^_^

[GATEGOD]

Are we going to really continue the current story? If only half or less of the people who were active in it are still here? Most of the newer people will have no idea how to act as the characters, and how they have been relating to the situation so far. Unless someone writes up a paragraph or 2 on how each character had been acting / important things we need to know to post as the character.

[Black Eye Guy]

I think we could easyily fill people in on whats happening. Anyone intrested in playing please check out this thread (http://www.buffy-boards.com/showthread.php?p=460564#post460564)

[Lyri]

well, those of us who have been here from the start could help fill everyone else in.

[GATEGOD]

Sounds like a plan :)

[palabravampiress]

I think we should continue this story, too. I think there is potential there. Slayers can become vampires. Now that Buffy activated all of the slayers, there's a world of potential there -- like an army of vampire vampire slayers or the turning of one of our better known slayers. Maybe even another re-ensouling to mess with the Sanshu. Then, after Ansara is defeated, Dru can be the next big bad. Or maybe it can turn out that Dru was the real big bad all along and that Ansara was a decoy. Who knows? All I know is that I LOVE that Dru is currently in the mix. There is so much potential there with her complicated relationships with Spike and Angel and with their complicated relationships with Buffy. I just hope she doesn't die. I think the current story is still teeming with fun possibilities.

Anyway, I think that once we get people caught up and on board, we can shake things up again. I have faith in us. I, for one, read all the past episodes and now feel suitably up to speed. We just need to spend less time poking around the castle feeling bored.

And some romance wouldn't hurt. What are the rules on that in RPG land? Connor and Dawn sort of went bust before they started.

[GATEGOD]

So we are continuing the story right?

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

ok, just so all know (especially lyri who i feel so guilty for unintentionally abandoning in the RPG! real life stuff and all :blush:) i am here and want to continue. ill see what everyone decides to do here, and if its just continue as we are, i promise ill make more time to post :).

[Black Eye Guy]

Ok I have cast a few roles and now Im waiting for 3 people to get back to me, but I think we can go ahead and start, the cast list has been updated, and will be again, once I hear back from the rest.

Can all newbies also change their Profile picture to one of their character, this isn't your Av just your profile pic, so you will show up on the RPG thread as that character. We'll have names added asap.

Basicall everyone can just post where they left off, and the new guys can join in, we'll be starting a new small story shortly to get everyone used to playing their characters again.

If anyone has any Questions or ideas please pm me them my way.

Also from now on all Out of character comments and story discussions should be raised in the OOC thread (http://www.buffy-boards.com/showthread.php?t=30517&page=2)

If anyone else in intrested in Joining also please PM me.
