OCC - Introduction to Webisodes

Hey All

For those of you unfamiliar this will be an exercise in collaborative writing (I know sounds scary but its not).

Its similar to the in person stuff without the dice rolling and more typing (that's right diceless)

In between our in person sessions I will begin webisodes, usually with an event(s) taking place in the area and then all of you can have at it posting your characters actions. As I put above this will be diceless, so you can post your character doing anything he/she can (check your character sheet), However some general suggestions:

* Do not post reactions of other peoples characters or PoS (People of Significance, I will post for them), feel free to post for Joe and Jane Schmoe (though if I feel the need {for story purposes of course I reserve the right to take over any schmoe}

* While you can in most cases assume you succeed in whatever you are attempting try to avoid overdoing the superman (insert other comic/anime character here) moments, not every entrance (insert other uber important TOTALLY ORDINARY action here) has to be the flashy slo-mo cape flapping, flag waving one. And remember sometimes a valiant failed attempt is more endearing than a dominating success.

Each post should begin with the following format: [Day] [Month] [Date] [Year], [Time] - [Location] - [Character Name]
for example: Monday May 4th 2009, 11:30 am - Gage Park - Mike

Once a webisode has started I will try and check it as often as possible I will definitely update every Friday

I would like to acknowledge some people that gave me the idea for (and confidence to try) these webisodes (and in fact this entire forum) So with out further ado THANK YOU (in no particular order) Nicky Dingo, ladyjallyn, Mutt.

Feel free to post other suggestions and/or comments in this section and I'll try and have Webisode #1 - Death Becomes Her online within the next few days

The webisodes are also the place to use any approved secondary characters.
(If you are going to use an approved second, third, etc... characters please post pics and description in the PoI (Persons of Interest) section.

I'd just like to say this is freakin' awesome and I'm totally stoked

Woot another online rpg thread <3 Thanks Sean!

Oh are we allowed to play out our own episodes as well? IE: Things we do on our days off etc. ?

Yeah once the webisode starts (again hopefully by Wednesday) It will cover the events occurring between sessions whether you attend any of the event(s) or not. Feel free to post your characters time regardless of location.................


Now thinking of your question, I still think all the posts in the one webisode thread with location marked at the start of the post (a la elmwood ) would work best but if people would prefer I could create a sub thread off the webisode for each main character


i.e.

Webisodes ------>Webisode #1 Death Becomes Her
|
---->Gewy
|
---->Silver
|
---->Kyoko
|
---->etc...

Vote on the poll and let me know.

I've rp'd on a site where the rp thread was posted by location, rather than by character and it got very confusing to keep track of timelines and who was where. I would recommend keeping it to one thread.....

I think it kinda depends on the episode.

I do think the one thread thing is good to do btw sorry but i accidentally mis voted >.<

However from time to time separate threads might be needed from time to time. But perhaps for private meetings or reprimands etc. Cause yes one thread board can be good but if you need to find something fast it can be a bitch to hunt down the exact info quickly.... so subthreads are good for that reason.

Sorry for the delay

Webisode #1 will begin Wednesday May 13, 2009

So if anyone has any alternate characters they want approved please email

Gah I wait with baited breath! Can't wait for tomorrow.

Hey sean, as a side not if its not too much trouble would you be able to make aboard for character diaries? Babs keeps one and there might be others that do as well.

*is doing the pee dance of excitement* Oooomg

Its Wednesday yay!!!!!!!

It's still Wednesday.

<bounce bounce bounce...>

Looks at the calender, Thursday May 14 2009, and then smiles encouragingly.

It's Wednesday when ever you want it to be Mister Moderator.

Je est thinking je is une petite peut worried...

I think if there was a reason to worry, we would have heard by now.


It's Wednesday when ever you want it to be Mister Moderator.


Where is that line from? I know it is actually "It's 8 o'clock (or whatever) whenever you say it is, _______"

Is it an actual line that was used on a director or actress or is it just from a joke?

I've added a new... I don't know what to call it... option for people to post - the idle conversation - as the name implies idle conversations that don't necessarily have any connection to the story (though they could be average peoples reactions to events occurring) any one can (and hopefully will) post idle conversations just make sure to start the post like so:

******************* IDLE CONVERSATION *******************


Wednesday May 13th 2009, 8:30 pm - Gage Park - IDLE CONVERSATION

where date, time and location can change
