Dude I don't think anyone knows what your talking about

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.

Oh! Shit, I thought you were talking about something embarrassing or whatever. Nearly had a heart attack over your panic, dude.

By the way... About images... I have found one to use one I finally get to trigger Die for Me. It'll be awesome.

Or just go ahead and use the current .txt for the sake of it.

Well, I mean, I have a reasonable explanation for why what I did worked, and the draft only has me killing four bats and the couple knights that remain after you guys get done kicking ass. It's just that it was insanely flashy, the collateral damage it caused was completely disproportionate to the situation, and my metaphors went totally out of control.

On the other hand, this is the first post where I feel I have actually conveyed Sabrac's character correctly, and sometimes flashy with lots of collateral damage is good, right? The metaphors are still sorta over the top, though.

How about I take a vote overnight? If I can't decide what to do by morning, I'll take the results of the vote and use that.

So, should I post the original, ridiculously awesome and explosive file, or try and tone down the collateral damage a bit and kill them in a tamer fashion?

Really good question, the answer being I have no freaking clue. Anyway I was just saying so long as you don't make it godmodding making it as awesome as you want. Just don't say 'and my laser was stronger than the knights armor so than it died" and I am cool with whatever.

Like I said, I tried to stab i's kneecap, but it didn't really work. It just kinda overbalanced it for a second, but then I took the second hit and went for a little flight. I made the knights Lightning Bruisers BTW, since your description made them sound like it.

Erm... I was kinda going with they had some kind of zombie like body inside there that was animated by the demonic energy. Is that wrong then?

Lordxana0 wrote:Yeah zombies work as well.

In short, I think it's a great idea! DO IT.

Sicon112 wrote:Um, just a thought I had before I go to bed.

I was just reading over the RPG so far, and it struck me how everyone glosses over all the events of previous posts. Now, I'm not a super experienced RPer or anything, so some of you probably know better than me, but it seems to me that while it would be redundant in most cases to cover a scene multiple times in a book, part of the fun of RPing is getting to see all of the various character's reactions to each situation. I mean, sure, your character isn't going to pay attention to everything that happens, but I think sometimes you should put in dialogue from other scenes as well, and narrate as if you are going through them all over again. I've been doing that whenever I can justify Sabrac actually caring about stuff that goes on, though that's part of why my posts are so long. I totally get it if no one wants to, and I'm not saying that it really should be done. I'm just thinking that maybe things would be more interesting if we could look at all the character's points of view. It really gives those of you who are not currently holding the initiative a perfect time to expand your characterization.

Thoughts?
