Yay, thanks for posting that . They're sooo cute!

"Magnus...thank...for...hug...but...can't...breathe...! ARRRGGGHHHH"

I can't see Venison saying "Thanks for the hug...."

Really? I'm pretty sure Venison has thanked him for the hug a couple of times.

Yes, but did he mean it?

I hope he meant it, otherwise Magnus would be very upset. And who knows what would happen then...

Magnus: It's clobberin' time!

Okay, guys, I must say something - Richardson Valley is going way too slow. Heck, the only people who are RPing these last few days are me, caelei, Keeshah, Buckdida, Echo, D-Singer and Kalvin. And as far as I know, the only one who is absent is Teh Brawler, so I guess we can't see much of O'Connor and Tory, but what about the rest of you guys?

Here's just a list of some people who haven't posted in a long time:
Dylan
Djinn
Laxan
Kaido
Jimmy_Jazz
mathgrant
Missingo
Argent-Flame

That's all. 8/15 haven't posted in a long time, 3/15 post less than once per 2 days. Is there any way to change this?

Um, I know this is late notice, but just a heads up:

Tomorrow I'm leaving for Romania, so I possibly won't be able to post. If I do happen to have internet there, of course I'll check in and post. Sorry to all.

I do believe I said this a while 'go.



but if you think there's enough time left in the day I'll hop back in.

Okay, that's one of you having a reason. And now we lost caelei for 10 days or so, too. Okay, I also know that Missingo has a reason, but that's all, really.

I'll try and post more, the only reason I have that I haven't been posting is that I have no idea what to post right now, but I'll come up with something~

How about starting some new drama?

new drama

How about Brian gets kidnapped by a PETA member? Or worse, Brian dies?

How about neither of those, actually -- I love Brian too much.

Why does every day have to be dark in RV? It reminds me of BsM, but BsM isn't dark, just the name Brookshire Meadows sounds dark.

Who said the Drama has to be dark???

But removing all Drama has killed the storyboard as i for told everyone it would..
An now the only Drama is about people talking about why there is no posting happening!!!


Non-dark drama things to do..

Paint the pet barn.. How many will have a new fur color afterwards?

Have the pets put on a carnival to raise money something.. running around building sets, learning lines, coming up with acts to do.

your parents signed you up for Summer WOLF camp! you have to go camping... out in the woods.. away from TV's, I-phones, computers.. with a real wolf pack! learn to hunt, fish, find plants an bugs that can be eaten.. What fun!

Guess you're right, but you're also somewhat wrong. I know the the reason for why almost everyone isn't posting. I mean, the individual reason for everyone, but I'm not gonna tell here. It's not because there's no drama.

There all scheming to throw Venison a surprise birthday party!!!!!

We were going to do a big water fight today, but I don't know what happened to that.

And when was that? 2 months ago? How long is this day already?

Hmm...you're right that things are moving slow. The water fight is a good idea, but it didn't go through so well, because all the pets kinda split.

To be honest, it seems like nobody really had any plans for this day. I would have said something about the pets going to dinner at the Wall (since Pavelle and Ven would be waiting) but cealei's out right now, so we'll need to do that another time.

We've got nothing doing for this day, so the best thing we can probably do is wrap it up, and move onto, say, the water fight, or go the carnival or city or beach or SOMEthing that will get the creative juices flowing.

The question is...how do we end this day? I'm sure we can wrap it up quick if we try...whataddya think, we're about mid afternoon by now? Right now, Ven and Rav aren't doing much, so they can both just head home (after meeting Ceir at the raft or something) and it should be fairly easy for Alex and Kalvin and the rest to wrap up their arc with finding Bal.

Yeah, we were kinda planning to do a funny thing with the "Find Bal" thing, but with just us RPing, it's impossible to do it.

*yakety sax starts to play* (AKA, the Benny Hill theme)

What I can only imagine looking for Bal would be like.

Yakety Sax makes almost anything hilarious.

Indeed they do.

I'm back.

I'll just hold Pavelle, Felix, and Magnus from interacting with anyone until tomorrow morning.

Welcome back. And yeah, I recommend doing that, we're gonna probably end this day soon.

'Kay. Thanks. Will do.

Okay, guys, suggestion here. We should let two or three more players join RV. Now come on, who agrees with me that it's going way too slow, MUCH MUCH slower than it used to be?

And it's summer, too. Kalvin, please post, so I can reply to Kaido and Laxan. Please don't get annoyed by what I am going to say, but how can you hold off your post for so long when you know that you're preventing three players from RPing? I mean, I'm sure that you have reasons for not posting, but it's been a couple of days now, and you'd think you would find half an hour during these days. Again, sorry if this offended you somehow.

The number of inactive participants is quite big. If some of them stay inactive for the next day in RV (Which will last forever if we continue like this), they should be excluded from the RP to allow new, active members to join. I would absolutely HATE IT if that happens, but RV is dying, if you didn't notice it. Do you want the first of all neighborhoods, the mother of PF, to die?

One more thing: This isn't about participants, but about posts. This also should ensure a bit more activity. Guys, don't end your posts with "He/she started walking to the park." or something similar like that. Started walking! What happens next? Did he/she arrive? No-one can and will interact with your character if you end your post like that, because no-one will know where your character currently is, or if he/she changed course for some reason. Your posts can end like this if you want a break! Think. If no-one interacts with your character, you will forget about it. And then you will have to come up with a new post, which describes where he/she goes, etc. And since you're not preventing anyone from RPing by ending your posts like this, you won't hurry to post. Etc, you'll get inactive for a period of time. What I'm trying to say, finish your post by stopping your character. Make him sit, stand, lie, interact with others, do ANYTHING that will make it possible for others to interact with your character! That's what RPing is about. An ending like "Started walking to -insert place here-" will get you nowhere!

Sorry if this post offended anybody, but I just had to say these things.

Apologies for not posting Alex, but if I have the timing of this post right I actually did not have internet access at all. I have posted now as I'm sure you have noticed. No offense taken, you are simply trying to get things going. I don't want to see Richardson Valley abruptly end either.

Also on a side note, Keeshah, I used to experience 110 on a daily basis. So the heat, at least to me, is not that big of a concern. Tornadoes and thunderstorms though when it's that hot suck. Nothing is worse than humid and hot weather.

Erh, Laxan, not to sound rude, but with Teh Brawler gone, and all of us wanting to end this day, I suggest changing your post. Not that you have to, but it'll just make the day longer... for 20 more days. That's when Teh Brawler returns.

Yeah sorry about that. I forgot he was away. I've edited it now.

Alright, guys! So...

#Pet_friendly is going to become the general IRC chat for PF.

So, we got our own IRC channel now. Or rather, someone else needs to do it because I got g-lined the other day so they won't let me!

#RV, guys. Make it, and let's USE IT!

Okay, I'll make sure to be in there all the time. Guys, BE ACTIVE!

OKAY!

Guys, we now have a registered IRC channel for Richardson Valley on Gamesurge, like the regular IRC channel!

#RV

Get on and be there! It will allow us to move the RP along, and to brainstorm together when we get stuck!

Aaaaand let's just say that Mai and Balbaroy fell asleep, and get the NEW DAY ZOMG started!!!

Rav is already there.. out there in the heat of the morning.. with a wagon, an a cooler filled with ice water... no glasses altho.. (O.o) going to have to lap the water out of the cooler..

Alright, so, lemme explain the Grenade Launcher before anyone says anything!

So, when Venison stole the launcher off...well, a swat team member (I still can't remember who thought it was a good idea to bring them in >_<) I actually had the plan of turning it into something of a water balloon launcher in case a water fight came up. Yes, indeed, I had planned for this. I call that chocobo Sneaky for a reason.

Next off, it's one of these, except a stand alone version, which might look something like this hence the reason why he can fit it into his pocket without attracting attention.

Heheh, Water Balloon launcher. That's an awesome idea!
