Taiga

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.

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*

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 tyîng 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...

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.
