The following early proposal from B:L would have required too much effort.(Late afternoon. An online forum. B:L is tapping furiously on a laptop keyboard.) B:L (B:L looks up from typing.) Oh hey Squash, what do you think about my posts all formatted in play form? I think it's- SQUASHUA (Interrupting.) That is the worst idea I've ever heard. (Crowd laughs. Roll on drum. Curtains.)

Oh hey Squash, what do you think about my posts all formatted in play form? I think it's- SQUASHUA (Interrupting.) That is the worst idea I've ever heard. (Crowd laughs. Roll on drum. Curtains.) Boo-urns, Squash. I already had the manuscript typed up! PROLOGUE(Late afternoon. A dressing room adorned with flowers and gifts from fans. HENRY and TED are having a conversation.) HENRY (B:L)Romeo and Juliet...and Zombies. A tale of two star crossed lovers, where the stars align and bring out the dead! TED (NPC)Romeo and Jujuliet? Seems like it borders on necrophilia, but it will make a rousing sequel. Shakespeare would be rolling in his grave! HENRYPrecisely, and that's why he'll make the perfect narration character. He'll be located in a coffin down stage right, open on it's side so they can see in in all his woe. The humor wouldn't just come from the jokes, but rather from the audience laughing at Shakespeare's eternal suffering! TEDIt's madness! It's absurd! It's absurdly mad and I like it! HENRYShakespeare will eventually have enough of this mockery, and he will rise from his grave and strike down these travesties, these foul portrayal of his characters. The living, Romeo, Hamlet, and friends will team up against the rising dead of Shakespeare's army, including Romeo's unbeloved, Jujuliet! Oh imagine The Scottish King's face when he's eaten by Lady M! TEDWe can have her as a recurring character. It is a stage taboo to mention the name, so whenever a character does, Lady M shall appear and eat their face. HENRYI shall have this penned soon enough. Cheers my friend, to a new play that shall mark our names in infamy! TEDOh Herny you know that drinking is prohibited! HENRYNonsense! What can possibly go wrong? (Lady MacBeth appears and eats their faces.)

This looks awesome, so as a non-participant, I will watch your triumphs (few) and failures (many) with rapt attentiveness.
Also, B:L, you really should do the script formatting. It's pretty classy.

You guys are welcome to elaborate what's there, just make sure it ends the same way, as it's Maurice's turn to jibba-jabba.
Technically, I plan to set it up so you're about 1-2 weeks (in-game time) prior to the start of the actual scenario, but I want to prep the situation so you know where each of your characters stand at that time. I hope that makes sense. I plan to get the rest of the info up this evening.

This is going to be like {insert competition metaphor} between myself and B:L, each trying to outdo the other through abuse of the Slater character.
edit: He'll probably win, but I won't go down without a fight.

I'm thinking about providing tags to color each particular player's speech. Good, bad, fatal?

FATAL.
I should have a post up in the game thread by later tonight, right now I gotta deal with class.

Post when you're ready to post. The more dialogue we see, the more people can work with.

Well, good for you to man up.
You guys are welcome to make as many posts as necessary in the game thread before the next turn. If one question begets another, so be it, it'll get handled. Your best bet is to post early and often.
Oatway did fine by rationalizing (as part of his character) that he wouldn't actually "do" anything until the lawyer's office portion.

OK. You're welcome to narrate the portion regarding contacting durax as well, if you wish. Otherwise just post that you'd like me to handle it.

do I have to speak for durax in that part?

Post by Squashua on Apr 10, 2009 11:57:08 GMT -5
That's up to you. He's welcome to alter any dialogue and/or reactions.
My intent with the game is to always keep it "moving along" rather than let it stagnate.
At this point, it's been almost 24 hours without input.

I'm okay with skipping our awkward introduction, but if you begin a conversation, David will respond.
It would be full of borderline borderline annoying tourist behavior, and a lot praise for his friend showing him around town.
