Apologies guys, but this is gonna take a bit. Sabrac seems to have finally woken up in my head, and the monologuing is IMMENSE. Gimme about ten-fifteen minutes to finish up.

Now I'm happy I already typed my post... Just read the wall and adjust if necessary.
No Guyshane online yet?

[The Finch]

CRAP, SORRY GUYS I'M HERE WHAT DO I DO THIS ROUND

SORRY I WAS GONE, I WAS DOING HOMEWORK

[Sicon112]

Wall of text complete! Have fun!

[Pixelmage]

Sooo Finch is back... Do I go or finch goes first?

Finch I suppose, but what do you guys say?

Well, I don't know the character, but you've freaked me out. Does that count?

Oh, I have it open. It's just that finch wasn't online and was skipped. Again.
And Guyshane's not here. So, I'm after Sicon... But Finch just came back online... and well...

Anyway. Posted.

Do you think I have Sabrac's monolouging right this time?

Pretty much. The guy thinks about everyting before even starting to talk. And yeah, the creepy i'm-thinking-about-how-to-kill-everyone is spot on.

[NeverSlender]

Can we have other characters do things in our posts or can we only go off of what they've said they've done?

[Sicon112]

Well, I don't know the character, but you've freaked me out. Does that count?

Well, would it freak you out even more if you knew that all of those mental monologues were delivered in a near perfectly deadpan, extremely deep, echoing voice that only has the tones "emotionless" and "mildly annoyed"?

You pretty much need to stick to what the owners of the character said. There is margin for error in there, like Xana said he started walking to Pixel, and Pixel could then say something like "Alice didn't notice [Xana's character] had just walked right up behind her". If you start controlling other peoples characters directly, it's called God-modeing.

[The Finch]

IT'S DONE

The ending is now changed. Thank you for your cooperation.

[Sicon112]

IT'S DONE

You need to change the last part. That was god-modeing. You cannot ever guarantee that an attack hits unless you do a very long explanation of why it is unavoidable, and even then, it is up to the character's owner to narrate the attack landing/insane troll logic their way out of it, if possible. Otherwise I would just go, "Red flames of doom. First strike, I lolpwn everyone."

I used to follow The Wall Will Fall ARG, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[IslaKariese]

Who's turn is it now? Victin's or mine or...?

Whoever did their intro first.

[Sicon112]

That's much better, Finch. Thanks. Use what my brother and Pixel did as an example, guys. They declared their attacks, and talked about how they fired them at their target. It's nice to put a lot of detail into an attack (If a lot of detail is possible. I'm not sure a normal arrow attack needs any. XD) so that everyone else has a really good idea of what you are doing. And actually, the better you are at conveying your attacks, the higher your success rate will be. Also, it will make the fight scenes awesome.

Which is exactly what I did... I mean... We have another blonde girl FLOATING with magic orbs and FRIKKIN' LAZORZ BEAMZ in plain sight... Why would I look anywhere else?!

Can I edit that in now, or is it too late?

That was my point.

It's OK. You seem new at this, so just make sure to tell us when your edits are done so we know to re-read. As long as you don't change anything drastically (such as change the type of attack) and just add detail, the next poster can keep going at the same time.

What's to stop everyone going "I dodge his attack"?

[IslaKariese]

Right, my post's done.

[Guyshane]

Sorry guys I only just got out of lab

[Sicon112]

What's to stop everyone going "I dodge his attack"?

Partially, it's the honor system. If someone starts just ignoring everyone though and going lolimmune to all their attacks, it gets blatantly obvious what they are doing and they can be punished. Basically, when you attack, try to give the best description of the attack that you can give, and that tells people why it should hit. When you dodge or block, explain why you did so, to an extent. Isla's magic shield in her post just now is a great example, and your avoidance of the attack from my brother was perfect, execution wise. Don't worry about it, you seem to be pretty good at this.

Right, my post's done.

Also, that was a damn good post, Isla. Good job.
