I'm back!

Sorry about that - I was on vacation with my mom. Can someone recap me on what's happened since 3 days ago?

Just read the RPG thread and tell us what you think. It's all right there.

Everyone wakes up in a cave. They punch trees to get woo- Erm, wait. No, everyone wakes up in a mysterious cave, and Marisa Kirisame - played by yours truly - immediately decides that the only logical course of action is clearly to attack everyone else with a rain of lasers to get information one where they are. One storm of laser bullets, lightning-ball, arrow, and thrown cow later, Sabrac - played by Sicon - decides to make an intervention and so blows up frickin' everything in a rain of swords and fire just before Marisa can FIRE HER LAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR, forcing her to instead fire it at the massive storm of ridiculous attacks Sabrac unleashed with his appearance. Sabrac manages to stop the fighting by making everyone alternatively shit themselves in fear or prepare to fight him as a team, only to have THIS is turn stopped by the appearance of 50 elite mooks, the fight with which has now begun.

And now you know. And knowing is half the battle!

The other half is obliterating your opponents with a hail of madder-red flames.

Hey guys I have been thinking of making a new rule. If someone doesn't post within 48 hours of the last post they have their turn skipped and can post at the next convenient time. Than next round back to normal. I think it seems like a fair amount of time. Thoughts?

Seems fair to me.

Sounds pretty good. Does this mean that we are going to skip Finch or something, then?

Well 48 hours is exactly two days and I don't think he has not posted for that long so not yet, I just wanted to see if this rule was fly with everyone.

Sounds good. 2 days should give enough to hop on and post even if you don't have the time to actually stay in the forum.

I.E., arranging encounters, locations, etcetera, whilst leaving the overall direction of the plot up to you guys. Three people managing their own ideas for a plot would just be confusing.

Seems OK to me.

I accidentally posted the Wall Of Text I was creating for my next turn instead of hitting the preview button. I deleted it right after, but if someone was quick enough, they could have gotten to the page before I deleted, and if they didn't leave/update it, they could conceivably read it early and ruin the surprise.
