[A L M O S]

LindsMagee - awesome character. Accepted.

I am working on how to present info here. The opening is almost done. I can't wait to start this.

 

[High5ives]

It’s honestly been a while since I’ve been this pumped for an RP.

 

[The Pattern]

before I ask if I can be involved, how long do you expect the posts to be?

I don't really care to be too pedantic about length. I am more interested in quality. Make sure you react to the previous posts. You then consider how that affects your char. And then provide something substantial for the next person to work with. Some people can do this with one paragraph. Others need three. I trust you know where you fall. If you don't do your part in sustaining the RP, by offering replies that are just reactions, not offering anything for the rest to work with - I will inform you with a warning. But we are all grown here.

To clarify. One+ paragraphs - less focussed on length and more quality, requiring IN TEXT contextual reactions, contemplations and viable material for the next person to build off of.

Its_Just_E - Arrt Saunders - ttlovepie - Kent - LindsMagee - High5ives

I just finished the First post outline. We will begin Thursday after we finalise CS on Wednesday. I will create a CHAT for us all. I have decided against DISCORD. The system here will have to be sufficient.

SOME BASIC RULES FOR INTERACTION - WHICH WILL BE REPEATED, but THIS IS JUST TO MAKE Y'ALL FAMILIAR

• RP WILL BE DONE LIKE ALWAYS, BUT - IF YOU WANT TO ASSERT CANON (SAY SOMETHING THAT IS A FACT IN THE WORLD) - YOU CAN ONLY DO SO WHEN IT PERTAINS TO YOUR CHARACTER. ONLY YOUR CHARACTER.
• IF YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO OFFER UP RESOURCES, INFORMATION, IDEAS - THAT EITHER CREATES OR IMPLIES CANON ABOUT YOUR GOVERNMENTS, CHIMERA, OR THE OTHER SPIES - YOU NEED TO PM ME(OR THEM) AND ASK WHETHER THESE THINGS ARE FACT. ONCE FACT IS ESTABLISHED YOU CAN SPECULATE IN-CHARACTER ABOUT WHAT THESE FACTS MEAN WITHIN THE WORLD, BUT YOU CAN'T ASSUME THAT IT WILL BE THE TRUTH.
  • YOUR CHARACTER MAY STILL SPECULATE ABOUT THINGS, WITHOUT NEEDING TO CONFIRM, BUT ONLY ABOUT THAT WHICH HAS BEEN REVEALED IN-CHARACTER.
• THESE RULES ARE NOT THERE TO UNDERMINE YOU, BUT TO KEEP THE WORLD 'LOGICAL' - THERE ARE MANY POWERFUL PLAYERS IN THIS WORLD, AND I CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY TOOK OUT A GOVERNMENT OR STOLE A SUBMARINE WHEN IT WOULD NOT MAKE SENSE IN THE LONG RUN.
  • BUT, IF YOU WANT TO STEAL A SUBMARINE, YOU CAN ASK ME VIA PM IF YOU KNOW WHERE ONE IS, OR ASK IN CHAR, AND THEN THE OTHERS CAN ASK ME - AND THEN YOU CAN USE WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED ABOUT YOUR CHARS TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN DO SO - IN CHARACTER.

EXAMPLE

SPY 1 - Hey, I like chips. (CORRECT)
SPY 1 - Hey, SPY 2 likes chips. (INCORRECT - unless lying, guessing)

SPY 2 - I like chips.
SPY 1 - SPY 2 likes chips. (CORRECT)

SPY 1 PM SPY 2 - Does your character like chips?
SPY 2 PM SPY 1 - Yeah, they do like chips. They told you a few years ago. Okay?
SPY 1 PM SPY 2- Cool!
SPY 1 - SPY 2 likes chips. (CORRECT)

SIMPLE example, but the basis for making sure the world makes sense. ANOTHER:

ALMOS@SPY 1 - We need a plan to get to Brasil.

SPY 2 - I have a submarine. (INCORRECT)
SPY 2 - We could use a submarine. (CORRECT)
SPY 2 - I know where a submarine is. (INCORRECT)

SPY 2 PM ALMOST@SPY 1 - Does my SPY 2 know where a sub may be?
ALMOS@SPY 1 PM SPY 2- Sure, your skills and backstory allow this. You know a sub is currently hidden at {LOCATION}
SPY 2 - I know where a sub is we can use to get to Brasil. (CORRECT)

AGAIN, NOT TO UNDERMINE YOUR RP - BUT TO KEEP IT SANE AND CONTROL METAGAMING. IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN PM ME ANYTIME - AND ASK ABOUT THINGS YOUR CHAR MAY HAVE OR KNOW, AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT. THE MORE WE ESTABLISH AS CANON, THE MORE YOU CAN USE IN YOUR RP WITHOUT NEEDING TO CONTACT ME.

[ReverseTex]

I’m thinking French most likely. As for specialty... I’m going to go with negotiatior.

Now I’ve got a question. With that speciality I want to know what traits you’ll allow for it. Because I’m going to model my characters skills off of one from a novel, and their set of skills also includes dabbling in misdirection.

So, a mix of doublespeak and misdirection? Allowing you to talk to two people at the same time, seemingly in a normal conversation with both, yet telling the other entirely different things? Or do you mean more trying to figure out what people want and then manipulating them into giving into your demands by threatening/offering those things?

 

[ReverseTex]

The second one

 

[A L M O S]

The second one

Then I suggest you do Detection 4 (Seeing any physical thing that they might try and hide) and Insight 4 (Seeing whether they try and lie to you) - And then taking NEGOTIATING 6 -(Allowing you to know how much someone is willing to budge or offer up, how much you need to push, how much you can test your luck before they will either turn on you or break - using words rather than violence - I will also say with Negotiating you will almost always know what people want when they speak with you, whether they tell you directly or not.) Use the rest of your points to round out the character.

 

[ReverseTex]

Sounds good bud I’ll have a CS up soon! Also do you know where I can find good pictures for the image?

 

[A L M O S]

Sounds good bud I’ll have a CS up soon! Also do you know where I can find good pictures for the image?

Use keywords like Grayscale, vintage style photography - if that does not work, black and white - add things like male/female, 'real life', style of clothing etc etc. Open Images, and find something similar to what you like, then click on the photo and click on the 'show more/show similar' tab. Eventually, you'll find what you are looking for. If you want, send me Age/Sex/Ethnicity/Style - and I can look for something as well.

'Security footage' and 'public spaces' also works well.

 

[The Pattern]

I think I'll join if that's alright, perhaps with a German strategist of some kind.

 

[A L M O S]

Coolio. Make away - Questions - My way! Otherwise, go ahead.

ReverseTex - Even I must say... that needs some work. Lol

 

[ReverseTex]

Hahaha it was an accident, its fixed now

 

[A L M O S]

Hahaha it was an accident, its fixed now

Cool. Will fix notes soon. Note: unless my math is horrible, your skills match up to 17 points, instead of 14. The idea is <7 skills, each no higher than 4, matching to total of 14. And a specialisation of 6 for a total of 20.

 

[ReverseTex]

Oh my bad let me fix that

 

[A L M O S]

Oh my bad let me fix that

Love him. So many cool chars. Only two more to come in.

 

[ReverseTex]

Thanks! Do we have a OOC or Discord?

 

[A L M O S]

I will add you to the CHAT
