Sorry I missed this Kyra but I was busy tonight. Do we start tomorrow?

^^ as it says in the first post, please do not post OOC comments in this [the RP] board. Use the corresponding OOC board [this board]. Also, as mentioned in the planning thread, today the boards for tributes will open and training begins.

Sooo OOC comments here? Yay! <3

Oh wow, lots to read already, just gonna grab some dinner and then I'll get stuck in. =p <3

I hate to do this Kyra, but I'm going to be super busy this week. Can I just be a champion instead? Feel free to use Luanne anyway you want. I think I'd rather support Aurae through this anyway.

I had this idea of making Myri this kind of clueless girl who wasn't quite sure what she was getting herself into with this sponsor thing. But then... the post changed and instead of imagining her as Myri, I imagined her more as her Sailor Bellatrix self but older too, and the post just ran away after that haha :bunnypokerface 

Yay for the Hunger Games to have started

Haha we're all so stuck up. I love it! <3

Sure you can be3 a champion! Claim a tribute that hasn't already been claimed and go for it!

I'll be posting soon~ My weekend was pretty packed. @_@

Aurae do you already have a champion?

I thought you were my champion, Cere? I meant posting in the training room thread, not in the sponsor/champion dealio. XD

Yo! So you guys ready for CAESAR INTERVIEWS!?

I'm ready and waiting!

Oh I'm excited! Wish I wasn't out the country for it. =p

I'm here! Almost didn't make it but I'm here.

Raymond! What's your Skype?

Um, yeah. I DON'T have Skype! =p

Guess it was for naught...

Oh! I'm sorry for the misunderstanding - I thought I had announced it when I announced the interviews.   It's really fun to have them in real-time. But maybe I'mma just send everyone the questions in a PM for you all to respond to.

BOOO! So it should start today! As I get the PM'd Caesar questions in, I'll post the Caesar Interview into the game thread!

So..... I'm kind of thinking it might be best to postpone these games until a school break, like Christmas, or just hold them during Summer Break when people can be on and play, so I've added a new poll to the board here.

First Option: Keep playing. We've got three tributes, we could just keep going and let it go for however long it takes.

Second Option: Pause now, unpause at another time. All characters will remain as they are. When signups open again the other tributes will be up for adoption and/or replacement by new players. Add new rule in the future that a game needs at least 5 tributes to start.

Please vote!

Well I'd love to help you and keep on showing up whenever needed. But as today showed, I'm so helpless when it comes to managing things in my life right now.

I can probably post once or twice a day but because the last few assignments had specific hours to them I could not make it.

So I'm guessing the second option is where my vote goes, but I wouldn't mind going for the first option either. =p

OK I voted my boss has been giving me strange hours again.

Poll runs through tomorrow!

Sad that I voted to pause, but if we can wait until everyone has a bit more free time then it'll be a lot more fun. Summer is such a long time to wait tho?

It means I can be a Tribute next time tho, since the only reason I couldn't this time was because I was on LOA.

I voted for us to keep going, because I just adore this game and I can't resist xD but I also think that it's okay to pause since everyone is having trouble with free time and everything xD It would be nicer to have a game where everyone's active and can really get into it :3

I'm the same as Verdi, I'd love to keep going and I really don't wanna postpone for like eight months (?!) but it's a shame if people are too busy to commit right now. I think it's like an 'all or nothing' game haha - we don't play half hearted here. ^.~

I think I need more posted dates/times and perhaps PMs containing those dates/times when they're decided. (I get email notifications for the PMs, so I tend to notice them even if I'm not checking the actual topics on the boards.) I work standard office hours, and my evenings and weekends fill up pretty quickly. (Not exactly unusual compared to everyone else here; we're all busy one way or another! However, since I work full time and I'm not in school, this is going to be true for me regardless of what time of year we're having these games. I don't have any "breaks.") That doesn't mean I can't find time to participate, but it does mean that if I don't know in advance when a major event is beginning, I might miss it. It's different when it's just "check in and send PMs with your desired actions," as I can usually fit that in during work. I was present for the interviews because I knew the day before. I missed the Cornucopia planned start time--even though I suggested Sunday--because I checked Saturday night and early Sunday morning for the start time. I didn't see it, so I took advantage of the architecture open house that happened this weekend and toured 5 historic homes for free. XD

XD Good Sunday then!


I'm sorry about the erratic times this time around - rather than making a new post with the message for the Cornucopia, for example, I edited the Global Announcement thread with the date (though I thought I posted there too to update it x_x); in the future I'll send out PMs too. With only three people an absence of any is really noticeable; that Ana wasn't able to make the caesar interviews due to work, for example, meant that 33% of the participants couldn't make it. That Raymond didn't see that it was for skype went another 33% ((I'll just super bold and capslock that part next time)), and it's just a little discouraging for me. ^^' I like activity, I like a lot of participation because, selfishly, I like seeing my hard work pay off and get a ton of people riled up.

I love the amount of Sponsors we had this time around!! And three champions?! That was great! I don't want to postpone all the way til summer, but waiting for a break from school tends to make some of our members more active. Perhaps I'll poll to see when people's fall breaks are, or see when they're available during thanksgiving or winter break, and pick back up there.



.... but for the immediate future, after the Halloween RP Events end, who's up for some Clue?

I 100% know what you are saying Kyra. You put so much work into this game and it is SO much fun, but everyone needs to be really committed for it to work. It makes me sad to have to pause it for now because I enjoy it so much, but I think making a poll to see when people are likely to be free-ish would be a good idea.

I don't really know what Clue is as the last game was before I joined but no doubt I'll sign up anyways. =p
