Title: Should I do this?
Post by: Bboy94 on March 18, 2007, 07:47:34 PM
Not sure if this should be in General Discussion.
So, I'm off for spring break... And I'm thinking of joining this, can someone give me the gist of this, so I can make up my mind?

it is like D&D in the way that it is a dice-rolling roleplay kind of thing. I have been trying to get started but I've been busy, so we can start a newbie troupe if you want lol

You should join, it is alot of fun and there are lots of people to help you along if you are new to RPing or if you are struggling with the mechanics.

Heck, you use good spelling and grammar, so you're probably a shoe-in for the game  ;D

Sign up, and PM me for details on getting started. I'll help you understand it, and make sure you get involved in the right way.


Same goes for you, Shik. Can't let old Sabretache go to waste, can we?

As for the whole dice part... we don't use that as often as the casual observer might think. It's Storytelling above Boardgaming.

Looks like I already tried to register... But the password is different than my usual one... 8) So it won't let me in, because I only have one email.

Did you click "Forget Password" button on the sign in screen? Because I checked and you are registered already as there was a Bboy94 on the list and all you need is that and your e-mail address and it should e-mail you your password.

Hmm thats odd, well you can always just get a new free e-mail (i.e. Yahoo, G-mail) and just use that for TDC.

So I can't join in until Jack gets back.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on April 05, 2007, 08:02:06 PM
Just create a new account.  It'll be easier than waiting for Jack to return.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Mysterious F. on April 05, 2007, 08:12:57 PM
Yeah, he rarely ever shows up when he is needed, except for when he appeared RIGHT when we needed soemone banned.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 05, 2007, 08:53:21 PM
Which was a very good thing indeed....seriously just make a new email and account.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Bboy94 on April 06, 2007, 01:11:32 PM
>_> I'm not going to make a new email. Because I have to a joint email, otherwise I forget to check it and it is cancelled.

I think I want to start too. Could I join that N00b-troop you were talking about, Shika?

No!  Don't be a noob!  Be a newb!  We don't need noobs!

Lol, HNS ;D

Bboy, let me send a PM to the RG's. He's the Forum Admin since MG, SL, and Jack have all gone . . . somewhere . . . anyway, he can probably get your activate your account for you.

I mean on HA2, not the forums ;D SO I know Baka joined, what about you bboy?

Waiting for Alpha...
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Alpha on April 07, 2007, 12:53:35 PM
Try it now, Bboy.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Bboy94 on April 07, 2007, 01:33:33 PM
Thank you! :)

EDIT: Wow, lots of rules...

Hooray! Baka and Bboy, I hope you two stay good and active  ;D

And yes the rules and guidelines may seem plentiful, but... they're necessary  :)
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 07, 2007, 09:47:25 PM
Apparently oher measures are necesary though...such as the fact there WERE NO GUNS in Hyrule times...
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on April 08, 2007, 05:27:33 AM
I have yet to find the person using a gun.  Then again, I'm not exactly looking. ::)

I'll stick with Force of Gold and Draconic General for now.

Yes, it is. But man, I don't think I can read all those rules in one sitting...

it's just south of the desert at an intersection, I think it's one screen north and one screen west from the cow skeleton screen, and one screen below the Tantari Cafe. It's called Camp, one of the guys is showing another how to use a gun. it might have been acceptable if it was an old-style gun with blackpowder and such, but it was like a Glock, with a clip and hammer and everything.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Alpha on April 09, 2007, 06:15:31 AM
Oh . . . is it Orpheous, Worru, or one of their millions billions seemingly infinite number of un-characterized NPC's that we're talking about here? Yeah, um . . . ignore those guys I often do these days. Don't even read their posts anymore do I. And talk like Yoda I enjoy doing.

Oh, and thanks HNS. Go Force of Gold! ;D
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 09, 2007, 07:13:01 AM
Yes, it was their group, I think the guy who introduced them was using a ripoff of Vincent Valentine from FF7. It seems like noone is creative on there....

and what is this Force of Gold, it looks pretty big with lots of topics.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Blank on April 09, 2007, 09:50:58 AM
Force of Gold and Draconic General, pah!  ::)

... Damn, no other storylines have names! I guess you two win, for now...

But yeah, just ignore what you find unsuitable. Works for me.

PS: Un-characterized NPC's are where it's at  ;D

Force of Gold is part of my storyline. ;D FoG is currently part 2 of my full story, actually, with at least two more parts being planned out. See my profile for summaries of what's happened thus far.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 09, 2007, 04:40:40 PM
hmm...your story? As in it reveals your character's past?
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on April 09, 2007, 05:35:10 PM
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! :P :P :P :P

Ahem.  I mean, Alpha is a very mysterious character.  His past is only well known to him.  And to us OOC, but that's besides the point.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Alpha on April 09, 2007, 10:07:34 PM
Oh, please, HNS, even OOC you guys don't know my story.

That's part of what the story is, Shikamaru. It is indeed heavily focused on items of my character's past, revealing things as time goes on. But at the most basic level, my story is just called that because I'm GMing: I control what happens, I write out all the details and tell participants what they're up against . . . yeah, it's basically me writing a story, in a manner that other RPers can play a role in.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 09, 2007, 10:09:41 PM
and I don't suppose it's open for joining at the moment?
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: Alpha on April 09, 2007, 10:11:31 PM
At this point in time . . . no, not really. Once FoG part 8 ends, though, it oughta be really, really easy to get your guy in there if you want. Part 9 . . . yeah, that one'll be easy to enter. :)
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 09, 2007, 10:15:56 PM
Okay then. and you may want to head back to the Tantari cafe, apparently a mob had encircled it and it's under attack again, so your guy is probably cut off by them and needs to take care of the outside while we fight inside. Also, please back me up on this gun problem we are having....

I'm sorry.  I have overstepped my boundries.  Please don't punish me too harshly. :'(
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 13, 2007, 04:50:29 PM
Umm I am trying to decide on whether or not to do something...in any case I need ZV to reply at the cafe ASAP before Orpheous gets it attacked again....
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: bgrugby on April 13, 2007, 08:19:43 PM
An example of the the kind of problems spammers can cause, they have plaqued HA2 and there was an attempt to get rid of them but others backed down and now the spammers are spamming like crazy like they were before and ruining the game.
Title: Re:Should I do this?
Post by: DW on April 13, 2007, 10:55:48 PM
Hmm such as the GUNS that orpheus is using, saying 'oh they aren't that futuristic they are just pistols not big guns'. Well obviously he doesn't know much about guns, pistols are pretty futuristic compared to, say, muskets...
