You're right, I'm making a separate thread for this, and I would like to hear as much input as possible.

Nova and Forzare - my Consular on The Razor is Alkinell. Unfortunately I've managed to do a grand total of fuck all with her so far because right after I created her and got on Tython a friend IRL dragged me off to shoot bow and then I had to go to work and get yelled at by dumbfuck customers.

You need to set up your readers' expectations, and then either deliver on them spectacularly or subvert them. Or maybe both, in tasteful manners. You need to make sure you have a consistent narrative, one whose structure makes sense.

One that I seem to be enjoying lately is the one where you spend some time at the beginning of the story setting up expectations. Then you slowly pull the carpet out from under them, and at a certain point totally subvert it with something awesome.

@Crimson: shopping trip by yourself, pay in cash, hide receipt and object?

Nova · 2012-04-06 23:43:57

Well, I'll log on in a while then.

Crimson · 2012-04-06 23:59:50

^^Not possible since 1) I'm at my dorm with no nearby game stores 2) It's pre-order only.

I ended up hanging out here after tripping a spam filter on another forum. But it only lasted for three minutes.

remember that RPing and me are not the best of friends, mon brave.

We should fix this.

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:02:59

no.

nononono

i know where this is going

i'll end up being a pony in your D&D Planescape campaign, aren't i

and you'll name Jually or some shit

and then you'll use me as a beast of burden for all your yuri, only to burn me later as a sacrifice to the lady of pain or someshit.

because you felt suicidal. and homicidal.

well, i ain't having none of that. >:[

Alkthash · 2012-04-07 01:05:43

Can we be magic space cops instead?

Or keebler elves piloting cookie powered mecha?

Icalasari · 2012-04-07 01:05:46

^^ I don't think a pony is a playable race

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:09:08

protega would make it a playable race just to troll me

That's much better than what I was thinking of. See, you're a natural.

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:13:01

either that or you just suck

have you considered that?

noooooo you didn't

You know why is that?

seven letters, two words, starts with a y, ends with a k

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:24:58

Heh, Last Days of Foxhound.

It's my duty to approve, even if it came from the real-life equivalent of Liquid.

Bastion · 2012-04-07 01:29:09

If that means I have Cam Clarke's voice, I'll take it.

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:37:19

so i guess i'm what

ocelot

...that explains everything, really.

Bastion · 2012-04-07 01:42:39

So: I die, you steal my arm, but then I possess you except mumble mumble nanites and then everything explodes?

MillerCross · 2012-04-07 01:45:38

Well, it's more like you come to IJBM with a shiny new secret identity, I know it because someone else confirms my suspicions, I claim to be your friend, then I blow your cover just because, then we duke it out at cards and after that and an accidental explosion from a nuke going awry, you die and the sequence of events you mention happens.

at one point or another, I'll become Juanga. Or Projuan.

and the world shall weep.

Bastion · 2012-04-07 01:55:44

Legionnaire · 2012-04-07 03:42:14

Just became Thane of Haafingar.

Being that I'm a terrible person and my new Housecarl is blonde, I'm dressing her up like Saber.

DYRE · 2012-04-07 08:05:51

So, Xenoblade Chronicles. Go buy it, if you haven't already.

$50 is too much for something I don't already know I'll like. So... I'll probably get it later, when it's cheaper.

Also, it took me like 5 tries to make this post because my internet connection is shit right now.

Alkthash · 2012-04-07 09:45:14

I wonder if people who say stuff like that are also willing to spend money on hookers or escorts. I mean they don't know in advance if they will like it.

DYRE · 2012-04-07 09:53:06

Well, I know I wouldn't spend money on a hooker or escort, so...

Ironweaver · 2012-04-07 11:40:11

I feel ashamed that I had to wait for it to be released for free to actually play Fallout. I'm liking it so far.

Crimson · 2012-04-07 12:47:29

Yaaay! Wasteland 2 breached 2.1 million yesterday, Chris Avellone is on board!

glennmagusharvey · 2012-04-07 13:24:13

@Crimson: Do you have a bank account whose statements and other info are only accessible by you? Take money from that account and put into paypal. Then use paypal to pay for it.
