Also I afraid I just remembered there is an extra rule for animals with natural abilities:
Main OOC wrote:-Animals with natural abilities that put them at an obvious advantage (such as a bird’s flight, or a wild cat’s claws) only get 36 points to spend rather then 42.
So I afraid you also need to cut her stats by 6 points.

But seriously, stats AREN'T everything. You should definitely play by them, but remember they are just guidelines. Yukiko can probably flip over somebody heavier than her easily with her akido. Valiant can probably lift more than Blueberry with his mechanical arm. Bora can absolutely out-fly Blueberry with her wings. And just because Blueberry has a PER of 3 doesn't mean he has bad eye sights or bad hearings.

Focusing too much on one thing is never good, just remember to keep a balance between everything AND discuss with the others first before doing anything questionable!

Down 6 points: Will comply immediately!
With my apologies.

EDIT - Artemis has been downgraded to 36 as per rules

Stats are so meaningless that I just don't care.

A question for my fellow players, do we still keep track of story arcs? I saw the ones on the front page, but all the latest ones are missing. I don't know if there's anyone who still cares...

In case someone does, I have some suggestions for titles!

Roller coasters, romance, and other terrifying things - for the theme park group. Kinda slow right now.

Cat in a tree - for Change and Apollo. This arc seems to progress slow at the moment as well.

Fishin' for friends - obviously for my group in the park.

As for the zoo arc... That one seemed to have crawled to a stop. Or rather, it was derailed when most of the players left. I miss Flash!

I'd go even faster, you know me, but it depends on Absol. i guess he's very busy...

You tell me!

Curse you, rules on abandoned characters! *raises fist at sky*

Well, I AM supposed to keep track of them. But I just can't get into the mood!

Suggestions are appreciated! I don't think I can make titles like those Neko made.

I would wait until the end of the arc first, but I will sure keep those titles in mind!

Yeah, but Nitz and I already start an interaction with him. We just need to wait for Raccoon to post.

Getting around to that soon...

"The Zoo?" he asked, "I was actually going there to meet someone, but I have a feeling they've left the whole space-time-continuum and all that. Space-time-continuum are funny things you know." he pointed out rather pointedly. "Now I'm not exactly sure WHERE I'm going or what I'm doing today..." he thought about it, "Though I guess I was thinking I could just stare at a brick wall for the next few hours, see if it does anything suspicious... those brick walls are tricky you know..." he rubbed his chin, thinking long and hard about it....................

LOL, I'm falling off my chair here laughing!

I love Flash! Fell out of the space-time-continuum, eh?

Posted: **Tue Feb 15, 2011 3:00 pm**

Well, they did.

Flash doesn't make this stuff up...

Posted: **Tue Feb 15, 2011 3:05 pm**

Did he see Eddy on the way?

...

Eddies in the space-time continuum? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? No?

I'll just show myself out...

A Hitchhiker's Guide reference?

Ahem... Please excuse me, while I go over to the other room for a moment...

Erm... looking back, I'm beginning to suspect he was talking about Dusk and Phi.

I can kind of see how someone might assume that. But it's purely platonic, I assure you.

Yup! Someone said the same about Peanut toward Grape, too...

Dusk's actions in my latest post have been specially formulated, to tease or please everyone, depending on which side they root for!

Posted: **Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:47 am**

I think some of you might have seen ctc's post, but I am linking it here again.

In case you don't understand, just don't post more than 5 posts per day. And please refrain from posting before everyone from the in-game group has posted, because too much of that and you will leave someone in dust. A general rule of thumb is don't post more than twice before everyone in your group has taken their turn.

Actually, I was noticing two characters expressly cuddling and kissing, and I just remember it being overdone....

No. No I can't! I looked but there's no such button on my edit screen, and I also remember one of the mods mentioning it somewhere that deleting even your own posts is something a user can't do!

I must sound like a broken record but I have to repeat myself, I don't have the option to delete! I looked, I looked again for that checkbox too, I just don't have it, period! Could we get a mod's opinion on this? Ctcmjh?

Posted: **Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:18 am**

That's because you can only use it until someone responds. It's like how when you edit a post which has no response, it won't appear as being edited.

Hey guys, I'm gonna make Tiara less important as I go and emphasize Flash more. I may even stop roleplaying her all-together for long periods of time. Flash is just more fun to RP, and I don't want to devote time to her right now...

It's a little bit sad to see another character go away (sort of), but at the same time I'll be happy if we see more Flash!

Meh, overly doing romantical stuffs is unintentional, but exclusively Aethon

Speaking of whom, what's up with Aethon, Apollo and Artemis? We haven't heard of them in a week!

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2011 1:55 pm**

Arthemis is waiting for midnight to pass, so to start an arc in what is technically the next day.
Apollo is snuggling with Aethon, both watching movies, but Aethon doesn't seem much propositive.
I'll wait till tomorrow before breaking up.

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:35 pm**

Propositive?
Wait what? e_e

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:54 pm**

Propositive (adj): making, or concerned with, propositions or suggestions.

Or, in a non smart-alecky way: I think he was saying that you weren't taking the initiative.

I was waiting for Apollo to reply to Aethon's last repl but I guessit wasn'r reply-worthy or something x_x

Posted: **Sun Feb 27, 2011 12:26 am**

Phi and Dusk... more "romance" injected into the RPs... lol...

Posted: **Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:55 am**

RockstarRaccoon wrote:Phi and Dusk... more "romance" injected into the RPs... lol...

Well if you want to get technical, there was that time when Flash and Cupcakes had Jake come over, and he was all over her... They even mentioned 'puppy making' as a pastime activity of theirs. So you injected romance and the such into the RP as well.

Posted: **Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:59 pm**

Yeah, I know, I'm just kidding: do whatever you want. I'm not saying it's badly written or anything, actually it's just fine.
Remember what I said earlier: It just became so common after BsM started doing it that I'm finding it funnier than I should when it pops up...

Posted: **Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:13 am**

I know, I'm sorry! I guess from my point of view it's just so common that it's something I take for granted in the RPs. I haven't been around back in the day when there was little or no romance as you say, I've seen it daily since I arrived in the forums. I mean, I even remember a part in Seabreeze, where two characters kept kissing for several pages... Rest assured I don't plan for it to dominate my writing! My characters will do regular things and non-mushy stuff when they get the chance, it just might seem like much since the RPs progress slow in real time.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 5:55 am**

technical question time!
does midnight mark the new day? Or is it considered a continuation of the current day?

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 6:18 am**

It is a continuation of the current day, if I am not mistaken.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:40 am**

A new day is only considered when all pets go to bed. That is usually followed though maybe if there are characters that RP until late late late late late late, then maybe the awakening of another character that had went to bed could mark a new day?

Just a hypothesis, pheh.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2011 12:36 pm**

hey just before I sign up can somebody recap what's gone on quickly in this rp day?
