Happy Halloween! by Neshomeh on 2013-10-31 18:40:00 UTC Reply

To those who celebrate it, at least. To those who don't, Happy October 30! It's a bit grey and wet here in Chicago, but maybe it's nicer where you are. {= )

Also, I have an RP-bunny that I'd like to pitch, especially to anyone whose agents have kids in the Nursery. I can't believe this has never been done before, but what say you to a little HQ Trick-or-Treat dealie? I think we could set up on the other Board kinda like we did for the Agent Mailbox game, where everyone who wants to have their agents participate posts their RC number and agent names in response to the original post, and people with kids can reply to those posts one at a time to knock on doors. Does that make sense?

I'd be down for that by Xortberg on 2013-11-01 12:58:00 UTC Reply

I don't have permission yet, but I am working on some Agents for the occasion when I do decide to ask, as long as that's acceptable. Figure it'll help me get some characterization work down and whatnot.

Sorry it took so long. Also sorry if the intro is lame. Writer's block kicked in pretty hard, and it was like pulling teeth. >.
I'll try to get my RCs up tomorrow, but I might not be able to respond much until Saturday.

FYI, this is still ongoing! by Neshomeh on 2013-11-07 17:11:00 UTC Reply

It's not too late to join in, and it's definitely too soon to stop checking for updates if you posted an RC already! Hermione and Poketrix, you've got kids at your respective doors!

PS: !

PPS: Okay, I'm done now. I don't normally use a lot of exclamation marks and I got carried away. *shame*

Your exclamation marks... by Huinesoron on 2013-11-08 09:18:00 UTC Reply

... are hereby confiscated. Don't you know there are starving child prodigy authors in Africa who would kill for a bit of spare punctuation? Honestly, I feel bad just asking that question (question marks being in short supply); this sort of behaviour can't go on.

Think of the child authors. Promote frugal punctuation use.

(PS: Seriously, though, starving children in Africa make me sad. :( I recommend FreeRice.com - particularly since it has an English Vocab quiz. ~hS)

Thank you for this. by Hieronymus Graubart on 2013-11-04 08:19:00 UTC Reply

I don’t expect trick-or-treaters to knock at a door that isn’t decorated for Halloween, and since I don’t know when Androiaavata did or will arrive in the PPC, she probably didn’t get the message, had no time to set up any decorations, doesn’t know what Halloween is or doesn’t even have a RC. Read: Real Life became much more demanding than I had expected some months ago (that’s also the reason why you don’t see me do anything at the wiki), and I don’t want to make the kids wait some days before Androia answers the door. So I won’t participate.

But I cannot stop thinking about how Androia would react to trick-or-treaters, especially if one of them were a little green dragon, and that’s probably a good thing.

That sounds cool. by Kittythekatty on 2013-11-01 01:59:00 UTC Reply

I don't have Permission yet, but I would love to participate!
First RP in PPC by ThePoketrix on 2013-11-01 00:03:00 UTC Reply

Oooh, this sounds fun!
I have done RPs in chats before, but never done it here in the PPC.

Also, I don't have permission.

How would I introduce the two characters I am thinking up?

And speaking of which...

Would it be a stretch for the kids to go to a DAVD(a) RC?
Oh hey, Anneli would be interested! by Herr Wozzeck on 2013-10-31 23:16:00 UTC Reply

Hope those guys have some dextro candy that's been sterilized, though. Otherwise, poor Saim'Rodriguez is gonna be very left out...
Sounds cool. by Ekyl on 2013-10-31 22:47:00 UTC Reply

I'm going to a party tonight so I wouldn't be able to do much of anything today but I could pitch in if it goes on.
Happy Hallowe'en! by Cassie on 2013-10-31 22:25:00 UTC Reply

Hehe, I'm interested in the game... I have a few kiddiewinks who might like it.
Ooh, fun! by World-Jumper on 2013-10-31 21:08:00 UTC Reply

I think my agents will be interested. Heck, I'll have it set slightly in the future when Jumper and Sarah have been introduced, as well as Marvin and Printworthy. Heck, why not, I'll break out my Changeling agent idea for this too! (She won't be mine after I properly introduce her, as I think the agents I have now are plenty.)

Now, what will their costumes be...
? by Falcon7974 on 2013-10-31 20:49:00 UTC Reply

Can non-approved agents take part? I think it would be a good character builder for the agents I am working on for approval to take part. That and I love to RP

Sure! by Neshomeh on 2013-10-31 21:50:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, this'll be open to Permiss'd and non-Permiss'd alike. RP is indeed good for character-building. {= )

~Neshomeh

Now interested. by Storme Hawk on 2013-10-31 21:59:00 UTC Reply

It'll be good to work on my new Agents, all four that I'm planning on using (eventually)

Sounds fun! by firemagic on 2013-10-31 20:36:00 UTC Reply

I was actually just wondering if we'd be doing a Board RP for this! So yay
Sounds awesome. by SeaTurtle on 2013-10-31 20:29:00 UTC Reply

I'm definitely down with this. When do we start?

To answer questions so far... by Neshomeh on 2013-10-31 20:44:00 UTC Reply

The Other Board can be found here: http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/241484.html It's got quite a few examples of older RPs, some of which were also started by me. Might be useful to take a look if you're not a seasoned RPer.

As for when and how to get started, I'll wait until later today/this evening and see where the interest level stands, and if it looks promising (so far I'm thinking it will!), I'll start up a thread with the basic rules and an intro. I have to get some housework done today, else I'd jump right in.

In the meantime, y'all might want to think about what costumes your characters would wear, how they'd decorate their RC (if at all), how receptive they are to small (or not-so-small) children, what kind of treats they'd hand out, etc. {= )

~Neshomeh

Sounds like fun! by PoorCynic on 2013-10-31 20:18:00 UTC Reply

As someone who happens to have an agent with a child, you may consider my interest piqued. What should be done to get started (you know, provided the interest is there all around)?
Ooh, neat! by Legacy on 2013-10-31 19:41:00 UTC Reply

I'd love to enter, but I'm afraid my agents are a little too new to bring into something like this. And besides, I don't even know where the other board is. (Is it that little link there?)

Also, hi Neshomeh!
