Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
At this stage you don't have to, Val. I'm just trying to gauge player feelings and moods at the moment. I want to get a feel for why people aren't posting and for how I can improve things. I'm not asking for any changes just yet.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Not sure what to do with bowser right now. Haven't seen an appropriate moment for him to do much of anything beyond watch...
The RPs on this site in general tend to throw me for a loop... I'm used to dealing with CRFH Boardies. Playing the my usual duo (the troublemaker and the stoic) forced out of their element, is so much easier in an environment of absolute chaos.
Any advice roo?

No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Aww! Theey look so happy together! And gee, Bel is big! Val isn't as big as I thought either. It's a shame we can't see his prosthetic arm. I'd have been interested to see it.
Anyway, yeah. Looks like Brent solved your problem. I can see how it would have been awkward to introduce yourself in that situation. I'd take what Brent's given you and run with it though. Jess will probably end up introducing Bowser to the group, I reckon, and then there'll be lots to do.

Thanks, Brent! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Buster. it's exam week so I've been busy. Last one is today though.RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:well I solved your problem of what to do, at least for now.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Sorry for stealing Valerio's characters away like that. I thought it'd be fun to have a bunch of pandas pop out of no where and deal with embarrassing and sensitive situations for a bit.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Heh, no worries. Scotty can talk to Val again later. There's certainly more they need to talk about.
Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
worry not! It was really fun, this sudden diversion. I can't wait to see how it develops.
Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
If anyone is waiting on my characters to reply to their characters then I am waiting on Valerio's characters to reply to my characters before posting.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Hey, can I make a request to change Blay's text color? I've noticed that I've accidently switched between two different colors, but neither of them work. This one is the same as Jess's(ARGNB) and this one is a bit to dark. If it's okay, I'd like to change to this.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
It's a nice colour, Superstar, but I think it's a bit too bright to be easily read against this background, sorry.SuperStar wrote:Hey, can I make a request to change Blay's text color?

What you could do though is to use that colour in conjunction with spoiler tags like this. The way to do that is to write the spoiler tags outside the colour tags. If you're happy to do that then I'm happy for you to use that colour.
Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Okay, I'll try that out for a bit, see if I can get used to it.

Maybe this or this instead? Or this?
I know you want to go brighter that color just throws off my eyes and merges in the background.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
I think I'll just go with the black background. I mean, honestly this stands out from the background so much to me, I guess our eyes are just so different.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Ask and ye shall receive!
In the diner:
The pets are just finishing dinner. Jess is inviting Albert to join the group. The pandas want to recruit Albert to be a scout for them.
In the Leones' house:
Cinzia is making dinner and setting the table with Frances, the pandas just had a ritual and now Mitch and Rikki are discussing it in private and reading from a book they were given about panda love lives. Scotty, Val and Bel are chatting again and Val has called in a friend to get Scotty an exoskeleton to help him walk again but that friend won't arrive until the next day RP time.
And that's about it. You can join in with Moon and Mat wherever you like.

Everyone has finished eating at the diner and they're now sitting at their table and discussing what to do next. At the Leone's house everyone is eating lunch and Val and Scotty are chatting. Rikki and Mitch are chatting in private. And that's really it.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
Had to check character sheets for a moment and breed information, Albert's not a small dog, but compared to Bowser he is a bit smaller. Almost went off on one. XD

I mean bowser's still oversized, but Albert is that big? really?
I missread the sheet, i had been picturing him as a wiener dog. >.<

XD I was wondering if something like that had happened.
Anyway, given the background it makes since that Albert would certainly be skinnier that Bowser.

Re: HPU: Sunset Plateau OOC
real world answer for why Jessica isn't talking much: I didn't really make her the most interesting character, so I can't find places to insert her into big group conversations that often. what she can offer (compulsively helping people) has usually been handled by someone else by the time I get on.
luckily, I already gave her a good excuse for her going inactive for large periods of time.
