The How's My Driving? Meme


In other news, revamped TC's profile a bit, looks okay to me now, but I have a weird sense of esthetics so XD. EDIT: shnjckashlv.... also opened up reservations. *hides under desk*

Oh and [livejournal.com profile] nalina is a dirty enabler.

Now we play the waiting game.

In other news, I think I'm gonna try to pick up some html. For real. It's time I learn it, I think, to stop fumbling with bad tags everywhere.

Also, someone PLEASE explain to me why I spent my entire night looking at articles on FFXI wiki? I'm not even playing it! I need to stay away from wikis and TVtropes, they are such huge timesinks.

Hmmm.

So, I've more or less finished my posting work on [livejournal.com profile] timecircuits_rp. I've edited the app and some rules, all there's left to do is get more FAQ questions (I seriously cannot think of questions myself...) and try to make a layout (we meet again, GIMP). I guess this means, either tonight or tomorrow, I can add on RP!S for a co-mod. I wonder if I should open reservations while at it... Finally it looks like it will open up after mid-terms after all, so I wonder if opening reserves right now is too early?

There's one thing that bugs me though. Do the rules and application look too much like DC? I've looked at other RPs to give me an idea of how the games are run, mostly because I haven't played in a lot of plot intensive RPs, but sometimes I wonder if it's too close to DC. It's not done on purpose, but I don't want wank to happen because of that. Like another RP I know of...

I think I might have found some workaround. I'm a bit annoyed because I'm still not sure about this and it contradicts a lot of current "accepted" fan theories. But honestly, I don't think I've ever understood the whole "Time traveler's immunity" and "Time bastard" thing the Compendium has going on. It's a nice theory, but I'm not a big fan of how it seems like they treat it as almost gospel. Then again, maybe it's because trying to understand it gives me about as much headaches as the time my astrobiology teacher thought us the creation of the universe. I have two possible lines to work with here, so I think it's good and I won't have to put the whole project on hold to rewrite the plot.

Holy crap, it seems that this RP is the only hting I'm talking about recently. But then again, I don't post that often, do I?

I swear, I'll start doing something else soon... something fun...

Hey I know, I could write another Dark Almaz/Mao thing *shot*

... remember when I said that my knowledge of Cross wasn't superb and that one mistake could completly destroy the plot I was going for.

I think I just hit that spot.

abjcksadcbafsdv, dammit why couldn't they have been clearer on what happens after CC? Chrono Compendium isn't helping either, in fact, it's making it worse. EDIT: And it would seem my computer and media player doesn't like the Compendium either... *watching random stuff going haywire over here 8D* Oh dear.

Guess I won't be advertising for management just yet.

In other, more interesting news, I think I've managed to learn my ways around GIMP a bit... emphasis on bit. Maybe I'll try really simple icons soon. Really simple... I don't understand all this texture stuff yet. I just finally understood why I couldn't crop and do layers correctly, for some reason, the dialogue box was completly disactivated and never showed up. Managed to find said box and suddently I can switch layers, yay.

Still a long way to go!

GIMP=1, Taiga=0, Desk=large dent in it

It's funny because a couple of minutes ago, I talked ot my sister about it. When I told her I used GIMP, she pretty much called me a masochist.

I'm working on finishing up the community for the RP. I've got some rules down Funny enough, the application was the first things I finished. While tyƮng it all down however, I noticed that the way I handle time travel might be too harsh, especially if I make the game not run in real time. Basically, the original idea was that you could sign up only one of your characters per cycle for a time change and then there a dice roll to see if it succeed or not. It's a 50/50 chance. I haven't decided yet if the game is run in real time or if one in game week=two RL weeks.

I don't know, is it too harsh? The 50/50 rule makes it that some weeks there might be almost no one getting to time travel.

Gah, not to mention, I've built up a plot, but now, I'm not sure what to do with all the time traveling. BAH! Okay, I think I'll put up an ad on RP!S this weekend, asking for administration... even though I have no idea how you're supposed to ask for something like that. I mean it can't be just "Hi, I'm looking for a mod, here take the job KTHNKS bye."

It doesn't really help that I have trouble talking to people... I mean unless I've talked to the person before I tend to freeze up like some people tend to notice. Nothing more amazing than an ultra shy moderator doing interviews... never mind mod meetings, especially the first ones...

*sigh* So it begins. No turning back now.

For those who wonder, Time Circuits is another name for Corridors of Time

Just don't start expecting stuff to begin super soon. I still have minor kinks to work out (and one major) And anyway, school is gonna start eating me soon. Though now I'm not sure if I want to rush this so it could open before mid-terms, or if I should take a sweet long time so it'll be ready after mid-terms? I mean, nothing worse than opening up a RP smack dab into the worse time of year to look for new ones.

VICTORY GET!

I've been working on some things for the CT/CC project and honestly, it's going better and better. I've manage to fix a bunch of unknowns and problems with the game flow. Basically: time traveling, game events, and journal posting. Heck, I even managed to make the journal postings relevant to the plot. *wink* Matter of fact, I'm finishing up the major planning. 8 pages of planning in Word as of right now. o.0 I'm seriously wondering if I'm not overdoing it a tad bit.

But, one of the main things to fix is still the plot. It's coming along, it seems to make more sense the more I try to write about it, so it's good. But, I'm still stuck. I'm just musing here because I'm not gonna spoil (TAIGA ISN'T SPOILING, CALL THE HOSPITALS, THE POLICE, THE PRESS, SOMETHING IS WRONG) The problem is, and this I'll tell you know, the basic startup plot is: LAVOS. Come on it's not a spoiler, it's like saying there's a giant monster in a Cloverfield RP <.<

The problem is, it's a bit BLAH. I mean whoopi doo, Lavos. Who didn't see it coming? I want to spice things up by having characters react differently to Lavos, like some thinking like Zeal and trying to protect or abuse the creature, stuff like that. But then again, I'm not controlling the players.

However, I can say that there's another part to the plot, and this one I'm keeping my mouth shut about it. This is important for the game plot. However, it borrows element from the two games. CT I'm good. Seriously, not to brag, but I was so obsessed with that game I became a living walkthrough at one point (not applicable anymore due to not having learned by heart the new additions of CTDS). CC on the other hand, I need to frequently check. One bad assumption and the whole plot could go out of the window.

Though, I'm really happy to say, this thing may just actually work. Still gonna need more crew for this on the other hand.

Okay, this was brought up the other day in DC chat and since I promised I'd post my ideas, well, here goes.

Basically, ever since I've restarted played CT (thank you DS, 8D), I've been getting an idea of starting up a CT/CC based RP. I'm a bit clueless in running RPs and will need some help (have I mentionned I'd be a horrible mod?), but this is what I got so far. Of course, I'm not going to immidiately reveal any plot events I was already planning at the moment... you know, just in case this thing actually flies.


In here be settings and ideas )

The more I look at it however, the less I think I have planned out. I don't know anymore. And I'm starting to be afraid that playing in Island so long has affected my abilities to plot in a long term way o.0 Though I'd appreciate if everyone could tell me what they think? Like they say:

Comments? Suggestions? Whining?
