Chatter Box, Greeting Place, and Discussion Thread 5: A Tale of Death and Tea (Current Roleplayers and Rules/General Information in OP)

no idea

So.... Should I just go with yes?

Well, I see no reason why he shouldn't have a weapon and I see no reason why that weapon shouldn't be PSs classic ring of keys.

Alright then!

Mindfang has been away for longer periods of time than this, though

Yeah but some people where complaining about her being away for so long, so...

We should AT LEAST contact her.

i have contacted her before the weekend

waiting on a reply

In unrelated news, just started watching Buffy.

I now have a completely different headcanon Lil Cal voice.

oh?

do share

I would like to suggest a theory in which Mobsterswap!Death sucks at board games.

HAH good idea

Well, we see Life (Aka mobsterswap!Death) suffle a deck of cards when he's staring to play, so I guess that works as a theory

There's an episode in the first season with a ventriloquist's puppet. It's on Netflix, but if you don't have that it's an old enough series to be floating around in probably-easily-findable locations on the 'net.

Like this one! (Messed with the link, it should take you to the right part, with about thirty seconds of context. Don't mind the crappy recording quality, I only looked for like ten seconds.)

ah thanks life

and ok why is mobsterswap!AD not called angry delinquent and why is he acting like he is? he should be acting like a nefarious version of ace dick, which he isnt acting like at all

and meta why did you take control of pi like that? we dont do that we only control our own characters

if you and oj agreed that things went down that way then oj still needs to post that

NOTICE: I'm going on a one-week school trip to Italy this Thursday, so unless there's free Wi-Fi in the hotel(s) I probably won't be on much.

I guess the timing's pretty good since Eridan's about to run off again.

thanks for the warning pawn we'll make sure not to do anything that needs eridan

I'll respond to this point by point to clearly organize everything and avoid misunderstandings. Before I start, though, I do want to apologize for screwing up so badly. I will make a concerted effort to avoid something like this happening again. Anyway, to avoid textwalling everyone I'll put it in a spoiler, so here we go...

Spoiler:

@the name: This was an error on my part. When I made the first post as mobster!AD I did not remember that he already had an established name, and instead thought one up on my own. This might have been because I just got back in town from a trip about 12 hours south just yesterday, as I was fairly tired at the time and was thinking even less clearly about things than usual. I'll go through and change that if need be.

@the behavior: This one I have a more concrete explanation for. My thinking (flawed, likely, but bear with me) was for mobster!AD to be the exact opposite of normal AD in terms of personality; i.e. where AD is hotheaded and impulsive, alt!AD is more cool, calculating, and generally a chessmaster. Upon further reading, though, it appears that this interpretation is pretty much entirely dead fucking wrong in the scope of this RP. Again, blame drowsiness if you will, but I can change that as well.

@taking control of Inny: I was talking in the memo with OJ last night and he recommended I post something about how AD received the news from Inny about what Scofflaw had gotten himself into and ran off. He recommended that I not do it as abruptly as originally intended, instead making a post about me getting the news later followed by my arriving on the scene. Quote for veracity (OJ can verify this quote if he wishes; ellipses are to eliminate my derping around):

Quote :: CTO: Maybe we can retcon it so that I run into you and we then hurry to get back to PS?
...
CTO: Maybe add that to your post and don't arrive in the same post in which you get the news
CTO: That way the others have more chance to react and it's not as abrupt
...
CTO: Start with how you meet me and then just write that PI informed you what happened or something

I didn't really know how to do this without some form of implying Inny's actions, so I did it the way I did to try and avoid stepping on as many toes as possible. In retrospect I could have probably found a better way to handle it, but at the time I did the best I could.

So. Short version: mea culpa, I'm sorry, I'll make any and all edits people want me to, and if it happens again I will morally obligate myself to commit seppuku.

ok thats alright

but in future post first that you are taking control of someone elses character

and oj should have known the rules so that last part is his fault more than yours

but yeah we are keeping the same main personality just different alignements, sorry we should have explained that

if you want to understand things more you could read dead shuffle, its where we get most of our mobsterswap au stuff from

Understood. And as I said, I'll do my best from this point to stay within the bounds of what's allowed and what isn't. Thanks for understanding. o/

thats fine in future if youre unclear just ask

And Midnight Sleuth. That has the Scoundrels too.

silckenSoul wrote:: and oj should have known the rules so that last part is his fault more than yours

I figured that it'd be okay for meta to control PI for a bit if I allow it first.

The original post was just AD suddenly appearing and attacking you so I suggested a retcon and just adding a few lines about PI telling AD seemed to be the simplest way to do it.

I also made a list with some mobsterswap canon before, let me see if I can find it again

EDIT:

Links and stuff:

ok oj but none of us knew that

you should have had enough sense to tell us that you had ok'd it first

Yeah, I realize that now, sorry. I should have made a post right after that to say that I gave my consent in the memo

thats ok now you know

as does everyone else who reads the general chat if this happens again
