Forum Wars OOC

Post by Stevenson »

Just so I don't forget to do it later.

Also, feel free to use this space to give me, the master of this realm, feedback, whether it be positive or negative. And that includes feedback about the concept or questions about the goings-on, which I will of course entertain even before the thing starts.

Question - Will we all know each other? Since obviously I, personally, would recognize the name Stevenson from somewhere (I don't know anyone else that goes by that name), and also since you acknowledged me as matrix kirby.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

I am the artist formerly known as Matrix Kirby.

You look like a kirby from the matrix. If I saw that after figuring out I was in Pebble Version (the console Stevenson mentioned can access forum settings and he saw he could edit his signature, in case you were wondering how he figured it out.), I would figure out it was you. Similarly, in that context and having a parrot introduce himself as Stevenson, you may figure it out similarly.

Oh also:

A Note from the RP Creator

There are going to be evil versions of actual forum members. They may act in ways you don't agree with. So let me now make something perfectly clear.

I am not trying to make a statement about you based on how your evil self acts.

It's true that I did loosely base the personality of each dark persona based on their regular half as it were, but only loosely and, in some cases, hardly at all. Evil Shauni, for example, has almost nothing to do with regular Shauni. Please do not think I think you're a jerk if your evil version is a jerk, or that you're stupid if your evil self is stupid, or anything of the sort. It's a made-up character only loosely based on you, and maybe not even that.

If you still have a problem with the way I'm making an evil you act, or an evil anyone else for that matter, post it here or PM me if you prefer.

So these are evil versions in the sense that they have the same personalities as us, but opposite alignment? Or are their(our) personalities completely inverted?
Please tell me Evil Silver has bad grammar.

The idea is that they have a similar personality to you, but twisted, distorted, and evil. Dark Silver is essentially a giant evil bird Joker, actually. But you'll meet him soon enough.

I changed my text color around to be a little less eye killing. Let me know if it's too close to Mandi's

Not Stevenson, but I don't think being too close to Mandi's will be much of an issue, mostly because there are other ways to clarify which character is speaking. We should be able to figure it out one way or another.

Also, we interrupt this program to bring you a special new bulletin:

SIMEEEEOOOOON I can't even BEGIN to tell you how awesome it is to have you back for a roleplay! It ery nearly brought a tear to my eye like this is FANTASTIC ;_;
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Gar, being meta will earn you no points. Just FYI :-P

You see, you made me use a smiley to demonstrate tone. This is what you've driven me to.

A note: as Silver mentioned, there has not been an appearance of the intro-thread trio in quite some time. I actually had difficulty finding out what they were, because I didn't remember Poodle at all, and didn't remember Super Hot Dog Man except the fact that it involved a Hot Dog. It took me some time to actually find them, haha, but I knew I wanted doppelSilver to summon them in the intro thread.

This is the kind of work I put in to make this RP great. You guys should thank me. I'll accept a parade or everybody else retracting the candidacy from King of the Forums.

Just wondering, could I edit my profile to include wings? I don't necessarily have to be able to fly (though that'd be even more awesome), but I really want wings. -w- Mostly because the version of me in this RP is sort of a conglomeration of how I represent myself in online games, and I do spend quite a lot of time in said games flying around.

Sure. Just lemme know if you acquire the ability to fly so I can take you off the list of people who can equip the cape.

I know I'm double posting, but it's important you all read this, so I wanted the little orange indicator to show up again.

At this point, the RP is completely open, except for the closed gates, obviously.

It is totally a reasonable strategy to split up and explore different forums seperately. I might even suggest it.

I have every forum planned vaguely, so don't worry about asking my permission before going through a gate.

A point of clarification: specific threads are only represented in broad strokes--if you had investigated the pavilions in the Intro area for example, you would have seen a banner over each welcoming a specific new member. You can only enter the subforums, not individual threads.
